Eye-catching Bond event

The skimpy blue swimming trunks worn by Daniel Craig as he emerged from the sea in Casino Royale will go display in an exhibition to mark 50 years of Bond films in July.

London’s Barbican Centre has been given unprecedented access to the archive of Eon Productions, which makes the 007 movies, for the event which will show how “Bond leapt from the page to the screen”.

The bikini famously worn by Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr No, in what would become one of the most well-known scenes in cinema history, could also go on show.
