60 Anos de James Bond: Parte 13 - The Spy Who Loved Me

2013-05-16T20:43:00.000-03:00

"007 - O Espião Que Me Amava" é o décimo filme da série James Bond, lançado em 1977, o terceiro com Roger Moore no papel do agente secreto 007. Apesar do título ser homônimo ao romance de Ian Fleming, o autor pediu que o filme fosse re-escrito por completo pelos roteiristas Christopher Wood e Richard Maibaum.

O filme, de grande sucesso de crítica e bilheteria, além de ter sido nomeado para três Oscars, mostra o agente secreto trabalhando em cooperação com uma agente soviética, e o objetivo da dupla é boicotar um plano de erradicação da humanidade por parte de um megalomaníaco chamado Stromberg.

Este filme é também o primeiro após a ruptura da colaboração entre Harry Saltzman e Albert R. Broccolli. A partir deste filme, e até GoldenEye, Albert passou a produzir sozinho os filmes Bond.

Gran Turismo 6 is coming!

2013-05-15T14:02:00.001-03:00

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced Gran Turismo®6 (GT6™), the latest version of PlayStation®’s best-selling franchise, will be released in Holiday, 2013. The news was revealed today by legendary Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi at an event held to celebrate 15 years of the 70-million-selling series.

GT6 for PlayStation®3 will bring new levels of authenticity to ‘the Real Driving Simulator’ as well as introducing stunning new tracks and cars and a revised user interface. A new compact game engine will improve operation and increase the flexibility to expand it with downloadable content. Meanwhile, the game is also set for expanded connectivity with other devices such as smart phones and tablets and increased social and community functions.

All of the cars and tracks from Gran Turismo®5, which has sold over 10m copies since launching in 2010, will be retained in GT6. But notable new additions to the already impressive line-up of historic cars, road cars and the latest race cars, brings the total car list to 1200 at launch, with new cars set to be continually added online. Several thousand aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all cars, and players can personalize their own custom cars in game to the greatest ever level possible.

The UK’s famous Silverstone Circuit will be just one of seven new locations in Gran Turismo 6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available, 19 of them brand new. There will also be regular additions of new tracks set to be made available online. The improved course maker function will provide gorgeous scenery spanning several tens of square kilometers including the magnificent backdrop of Andalucía.

The theme of Gran Turismo’s innovative collaborations with partner companies will increase with the inception of GT6. A number of exciting new projects that blur the line between the virtual and real will be announced in the run up to the game’s launch. Not least of these is GT Academy, a collaboration with Nissan to unearth real racing driver talent that first ran in 2008. It was announced during the event that the competition returns for its biggest ever year in 2013, with the entry mechanic set to take place on an exclusive GT6 demo in July.

Other notable partnerships in the development of GT6 have been with tire manufacturer Yokohama Rubber and suspension company KW Automotive. Both companies are active in the commercial car industry and in racing, and they have acted as technical development partners for the game’s new physics engine, for its tire and suspension kinematic modeling, creating an even more realistic experience for GT fans.

“It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo,” explained Kazunori Yamauchi, during the announcement at Silverstone Circuit. “Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments. I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will be only the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!”

The celebration of 15 years of Gran Turismo event at Silverstone included a demo of GT6 featuring the famous circuit. Guests were able to play the game in the familiar circular Gran Turismo race pods before having a chance to take to the real track in cars provided by Audi, Ford, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota.

The All-New RAV4. Toyota. Let's go places. (With Kaley Cuoco)

'Genie' Kaley Cuoco Grants Wishes in All-New Toyota RAV4 Commercial
Wishes Are Granted in Humorous and Unexpected Ways

TORRANCE, Calif.(Jan. 28, 2013) – Embodying the modern, stylish and smart characteristics of the all-new RAV4, Toyota's new "Wish Granted" commercial starring Kaley Cuoco will make its broadcast debut on Feb. 3. The star of CBS hit show "The Big Bang Theory" will appear granting the wishes of a family in unexpected and creative ways during one of the biggest sporting and advertising events of the year. Cuoco's comedic chops made her a perfect partner in bringing the RAV4 Genie character to life.

"The all-new RAV4 is a testament to the people that drive it and live lifestyles that are full of energy and enthusiasm, which is one of the reasons we are so pumped to work with Kaley to showcase it," said Jack Hollis, vice president of Toyota Division Marketing at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "We wanted to share Toyota's 'Let's Go Places' spirit of journey with viewers of the big game in a light and relatable way."

"Wish Granted" features the all-new RAV4 that comes with a modern genie played by Cuoco who grants wishes to the Henderson family, the owners of the vehicle. With a loveable, sidekick dog, Chester, Cuoco goes about granting the wishes of each family member in her own interpretation. The journey takes the family on a series of unexpected adventures including a trip to space and fulfilling the daughter's request for princessdom.

"As soon as I saw the script, I knew I wanted to be in this commercial because the sense of humor was right up my alley," said Cuoco. "It was so much fun and I'm excited that everyone gets to see it now and again on Sunday."

The 60-second RAV4 commercial is designed to resonate with people who lead active, busy lifestyles but still make time to embrace everyday adventures. It speaks to drivers who want a stylish, capable and versatile vehicle that keeps up with the pace of their lives and still allows them to find the enjoyment and excitement along the way.

The commercial also features an image submitted by Ryan Koch of Fitchburg, Wis., as part of the Get In the Big Game opportunity that took place earlier this month. Fans were invited to upload photos of themselves using the hashtag #wishgranted to Instagram and Twitter, and Koch's photo was selected to appear in the ad.

"Ryan's photo captures the spirit and lifestyle of Toyota's new brand direction – 'Let's Go Places' – and the all new RAV4," said Hollis. "Toyota's 'Let's Go Places' is all about inviting our customers on a fun journey with us, and the Get in the Big Game campaign was an opportunity to do just that."

"Wish Granted," created by Saatchi & Saatchi LA, will run during the first quarter of Sunday's game, followed by the Toyota Super Bowl Today Post-Game Show, which will also include the airing of two additional new commercials highlighting the Tundra Endeavour tow and the recently-launched company direction, "Let's Go Places."
