James Bond to open London 2012 Olympics?

[Goonie]

Since this is April 1, it may be a joke, but the article is dated April 2, so...
Queen asks James Bond to open London Olympics | News.com.au

Sounds like a fun opening to the games, if this is true.:cool

It would also be good publicity for the new bond film.

By invitation of the Queen, according to one paper I read. But yeah, wait for tomorrow to double-check, I say.

It would be better to have David tennant as the Doctor at the Olympics. just like in the episode Fear Her!

Picked up the latest issue of Cineplex magazine at the theater last night. In it they talk about 007 opening the games. So, was it an April Fool's joke or not?

The nail-biting action will follow a short film by Trainspotting film-maker Danny Boyle, the artistic director of the July 27 opening *ceremony.
