What’s up for Global James Bond Day 2023?

Global James Bond Day on Oct. 5 became a thing in 2012 ahead of the 50th anniversary of the debut of Dr. No, the first 007 film made by Eon Productions.

The idea was quickly adopted by Bond fans. With each passing October, fans have wondered if there will be a major announcement? A new Bond actor? A new Bond film project?

More often than not, the answer has been no. There have been some promotions. Some new merchandise sales. But nothing has moved the needle.

Yet, hope springs eternal. An American reference: Sort of like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football before Lucy pulls it away yet again. Maybe this time will be different.
