James Bond

James Bond is a fictional British Secret Service agent, created by Ian Fleming. While not directly newsworthy, the James Bond franchise is relevant due to ongoing discussions about the next film's theme song. Noel Gallagher recently expressed interest in writing it. Separately, a real-life incident involving a stolen Fabergé egg locket is linked to the franchise through its reference to the Bond film "Octopussy." A 32-year-old man in New Zealand was charged with theft after allegedly swallowing the $19,300 locket. The locket, inspired by the film, was later recovered naturally. This incident highlights the enduring cultural impact of the James Bond series, even in bizarre and unexpected real-world events.
