“Rumor has it,” as the great Adele is known to sing, that the Academy Awards show on Feb. 24, will bring together for the first time all six men who have played Bond, James Bond. What would one call that? A six-pack of Bonds sounds too plebeian; a bevy of Bonds too girly. A 006 of Bonds, perhaps? The reason, of course, is the 50th anniversary of the bullets, booze and babes movie franchise. And the 006 007s would be: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. One thing is a dead certainty: Adele is confirmed to be singing her nominated song Skyfall during the broadcast.

    Agent 007 turns the big 50, as the James Bond franchise celebrates half a decade of fast cars, fast women and big explosions.

    The first Bond film, Dr. No, premiered in London on Oct. 5, 1962.

    In honour of the milestone, pop superstar Adele has released the latest Bond movie theme song, “Skyfall,” which hit the top of the iTunes chart within hours of its release, reports The Telegram.

    Skyfall, staring Daniel Craig as Bond, opens in North American theatres Nov. 9.
