newspaper, in a piece fabulously titled “The Spy Who Plugged Me … In,” reports that

in the next franchise installment. Quoting “an insider,” it’s said director Cary Joji Fukunaga is a “total tree-hugger” and pushed to include a more environmentally friendly set of wheels. Long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson went along with it, Fukunaga’s apparently working with
on the show car.
Nothing will be lost in the switch from horsepower to e-power, the

True Detective

Shooting should start next month at Pinewood Studios on what’s known as Bond 25 for now, and reports say Oscar winner Rami Malek is a near-lock to play the villain. The Rapide E should be in showrooms at the end of this year, the film’s release date slated for April 2020.
