According to Dark Horizons, Casino Royale is now officially the highest grossing James Bond film ever.

While the film has a domestic revenue of $146.3 million, it’s its international take of more than twice that much - $305.4 million - that catapulted it to the top of the list. The $451.8 million (and growing!) worldwide tally easily puts Casino Royale ahead of Die Another Day’s $431 million in 2002 and 2003. The movie is currently tenth in the 2006 box office list domestically, and sixth internationally, and still climbing.

Members of the French Star Wars fanclub are currently receiving the newest issue of the Lucasfilm Magazine and their annual membership packs. This includes the membership cards plus a letter from Star Wars creator George Lucas himself, which Sithclan.net have a scan of online. In it, Lucas addresses what’s in store for the franchise. We’ve translated the part that pertains to the eagerly anticipated television series:

“Concerning the future of Star Wars, we are currently working on our first internally created animated series, which is set during the Clone Wars. I am very happy with how the series, which you will be able to discover in 2008, is shaping up. We are also starting the development of the ‘live-action’ Star Wars series which will be set between Episodes III and IV.”
