POP PHONES, DO YOU HAVE ONE?
James Bond star Daniel Craig will open the Games ceremony in true 007 style... with a daredevil leap into the Olympic Stadium from a helicopter.
Three choppers will swoop down the Thames and under London Bridge before heading to the Olympic Park in East London.
To the strains of the James Bond theme, Craig will drop into the stadium on a rope ladder as a billion people watch on worldwide.
The nail-biting action will follow a short film by Trainspotting film-maker Danny Boyle, the artistic director of the July 27 opening ­ceremony.
In the movie, called The Arrival, Bond visits ­Buckingham Palace by Royal Appointment to be told his latest ­mission is to launch the Games.
LONDON - In preparing the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics that will take place here, director Danny Boyle found some inspiration in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, he told Vogue, The Huffington Post reported.
Organizers said previously that the ￡27 million ($42.3 million) opening event would be based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
But the late July ceremony, which the Slumdog Millionaire director is overseeing, will also include "quite a lot of Frankenstein," he said. "I mean, we don't reanimate dead creatures, but we did use Frankenstein as a dry run for a lot of ideas for this."
