Report: James Bond to drive battery-powered Aston Martin in next 007 flick

According to an insider close to the production, Daniel Craig's James Bond will be taking the wheel of another Aston Martin in the next installment of the 007 franchise. This time around, however, the sporty luxury car will be decked out with more than just the standard Q Branch issued gadgets. The car will be a limited edition Rapide E sedan, which is a zero-emissions vehicle, and uses twin electric motors to deliver 600 hp.

Hotels and resorts in Jamaica are celebrating the return of the James Bond film franchise to the island nation by offering promotions just in time for summer travel.

One of the resorts celebrating the most is Moon Palace Jamaica in Ocho Rios.

Moon Palace Jamaica sits on the location where Sean Connery landed his helicopter in the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. The resort is ready to entertain guests arriving to catch a glimpse of the filming of the 25th installment of the series, which begins Sunday.

The resort is currently running a “Kids & Teens Stay Free” promotion at its main property, which means kids and teens can stay, play and eat for free. Children who stay at Moon Palace Jamaica will enjoy a state-of-the-art Playroom, while teens can take a ride on The FlowRider surf simulator.

Moon Palace Jamaica is also offering a $1,500 resort credit for guests who stay between five-to-eight nights, with even more chances to earn additional credit when travelers stay longer. The credit can be used for spa treatments, exotic tours and other extraordinary experiences.
