Shah Rukh Khan’s fond wish - to see Ethan Hunt and James Bond in one movie


SRK, the Bollywood superstar, has expressed his innermost wish - to see the world’s two most loved characters Ethan Hunt and James Bond in one single movie. Ethan Hunt of “Mission: Impossible” fame and James Bond of the 007 fame are characters that everyone loves, SRK is no exception. His final fantasy before death is to see both of them together in one movie.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 8 August 2015.
Of course, while Ethan Hunt was portrayed by only one actor Tom Cruise, the superspy James Bond had a number of actors who play the role starting from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig, among others.
James Bond is a fictional British Secret Service agent codenamed 007 and was created way back in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming. He has progressed over the years and the method of presentation and gadgets meant for Bond have undergone a sea change. The character of Bond was last portrayed by actor Daniel Craig in 2012 film “Skyfall” and he is expected to return as Bond in the twenty-fourth James Bond film titled “Spectre”.
This is slated for release on October 26 later this year.
The million dollar question now is – who would SRK like to see in the role of his James Bond.

Tom Cruise holds on for dear life in ‘Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation’


Tom Cruise and his mission impossible movies appear to be inseparable – and, in his latest Rogue Nation, he can be seen dangling on the wing of an Airbus A400m for dear life. It was a stunt that he performed for the latest Mission Impossible film. He was holding on to the wing by his fingertips.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 26 July 2015.
Tom Cruise loves to do his own stunts and, in this case, he had to clutch the side of an Airbus A400M as it was moving at 185mph – it was not quite what he was expected. In fact, it took every ounce of his strength to complete. The stunt scene was filmed at RAF Wittering in Lincolnshire and it involved number of rewrites before it was approved by Airbus.
Of course, he was wearing a harness under his suit for safety and, if he had lost his grip, he would have fallen several feet before it could have saved him. Moreover, he refused to wear protective goggles and, hence, was given special contact lenses to put over his eyes.
Major portions of the movie was filmed in London and there is a strong British cast supporting the Hollywood star. They include Simon Pegg and The White Queen's Rebecca Ferguson.
