Then look no further.

Just days after Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke admitted she was dying to be the next 007, a trailer for Jane Bond has arrived.

Clarke, 29, told The Daily Star: ‘I have a lot of unrealised dreams. I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo DiCaprio. No doubt about it.’

Rolling Stone kindly obliged in helping her to realise these dreams by creating a ‘trailer’ with Clarke as the iconic spy… Read the full story

Since Downton Abbey ended last year there has been talk of bringing it back.

A spin-off series, a movie and a musical have all been touted, but two of its stars are actually getting back together.

Star Elizabeth McGovern, who played Lady Cora Grantham on the show, is teaming up with Downton Abbey creator and writer Julian Fellowes once again.

Elizabeth is set to star in The Chaperone, based on a book about silent film star Louise Brooks.

The actress said she convinced Fellowes to write the screenplay and she hopes to get started on the film at some point this year.

James Bond may be returning to the small page, as well as the big screen, for a brand new adventure soon.

Bond’s original author Ian Fleming died in 1964 but that hasn’t stopped the progress of 007 thanks to numerous surrogate authors.

Four novels in the James Bond series by four different authors have appeared since 2003, and the most recent one Trigger Mortis – published last year – was by hugely-popular spy novelist Anthony Horowitz.

Now Horowitz has said he is open to returning to the James Bond universe and writing another installment. Wahey! At this rate Bond will be around until the year 3000.

As he gazed into the eyes of a sad Staffordshire bull terrier, Michael Bay suddenly realised what his Transformers movies had been missing.

Casting six-year-old Freya, ‘Britain’s loneliest dog’, in Transformers 5 was the next logical step. Well, she’s cheaper than Mark Wahlberg.

Poor Freya, who suffers from epilepsy, has spent her whole life in kennels where she has been visited and rejected by over 18,000 potential owners. She really deserves some Hollywood stardust.

Renowned comedy director Judd Apatow has said there’s a ‘crossover’ between haters of the new all-female Ghostbusters reboot and supporters of Donald Trump.

In an interview with Uproxx, the director of Trainwreck and Knocked Up spoke in support of the new Ghostbusters film, whose trailer has become the most disliked video on YouTube ever.

‘I would assume there’s a very large crossover of people who are doubtful Ghostbusters will be great and people excited about the Donald Trump candidacy,’ he said.
