The James Bond film Skyfall put a new production update (see above) on-line recently about the film’s shoot in Shanghai. The film’s publicity team has thus far been fairly good about keeping everyone updated on Skyfall‘s progress – without spoiling anything with too many details – so check out this new update above. Shanghai certainly looks exotic and exciting as a Bond location.

Other recent offerings include this video interview with new French Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe, and another interview with her here. (The phrase “French Bond girl” is so pleasant to read, isn’t it?) You can also check out this new interview with Dame Judi Dench, who as M has now tied Roger Moore in having appeared in seven Bond films. Some people may be more enthusiastic about that than others. Plus, a host of new production stills have appeared for the film.

Lastly, AOL-Moviefone recently broke news about James Bond now drinking Heineken, instead of his usual vodka martini (shaken, not stirred), as part of a $45 million marketing deal with the Dutch beer company. Debate will no doubt be raging on that one. Let’s face it, it could be worse; he could be drinking Kronenbourg. (It’s worth noting, incidentally, that Bond’s iconic Aston Martin DB5 will be returning in Skyfall.)

Otherwise, rumor has it that a Skyfall trailer will be appearing in front of Men in Black 3 in theaters. Skyfall opens November 9th in the U.S.

New clips have been emerging for Battleship in recent days. This spoilerish clip features an enemy alien being examined/unmasked by a Navy crew, and this clip features Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch in a bar.

The behind-the-scenes clip above showcases Capt. (Ret.) Rick Hoffman’s involvement as the Navy’s advisor on Battleship, which included getting a cameo as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Not bad for a former Captain.

And speaking of Brooklyn Decker, she’s featured in the May edition of GQ, something that’s also worth looking at. Ahem.

Battleship has already made $58 million worldwide, and opens here in the U.S. on May 18th.
