The week in film - in pictures

We begin at the beginning, as the Olympic opening ceremony is galvanised by the arrival of James Bond and the Queen (or possibly their body doubles). Rumours of a climactic mid-air clinch turned out to be unfounded Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

Bond's date with the Queen proved short-lived, however. No sooner had 007 star Daniel Craig completed his London assignment than he was off to New York, escorting Rachel Weisz (and, presumably, her co-star Jeremy Renner) to the premiere of The Bourne Legacy Photograph: Eric Thayer/Reuters

Billed as "the first Bollywood superstar", Rajesh Khanna was a veteran of 163 features and a hero to millions of Indian film-goers. Following the actor's death last month, Mumbai artist Ranjit Dahiya sets to work on a commemorative mural Photograph: Punit Paranjpe/AFP/Getty Images

But there is more than one way to memorialise a star. Outside the Hollywood museum, for instance, a brace of tourists decide to make like Monroe. The Some Like it Hot actor died 50 years ago this month Photograph: Frederic J. Brown/AFP/Getty Images

Far better to celebrate our idols when they're still around to take it in. Alain Delon is still around! The Locarno film festival therefore decide to honour him with a lifetime achievement award Photograph: Urs Flueeler/AP

Better yet: Ray Winstone is still around. He's in Locarno with a brand new wardrobe and a brand new movie called The Sweeney Photograph: Urs Flueeler/EPA

Gael Garcia Bernal jets into Santiago to plug his role in a Pinochet-era drama from director Pablo Larrain. He has a message for the people of Chile. That message is No Photograph: Mario Ruiz/EPA

The buildings are blasted, the soldier looks haunted, but the trailing cables provide a crucial clue. This is not the real Stalingrad but the film of Stalingrad, currently shooting on a sound-stage outside the city presently known as St Petersburg Photograph: Alexander Demianchuk/Reuters

More daylight let in on magic. This, incredibly, is not a true-life alien but a true-life human, dressed up as an alien in order to promote a film called Joker on the streets of Mumbai. The street-vendor, we take it, is real Photograph: AFP/Getty Images

The Queen of Versailles is a documentary charting the fall of the Siegels, a pair of Florida billionaires who dream of building the perfect house only to be scuppered by the financial crash. Here's Jackie Siegel making her exit from the half-built Versailles Photograph: David Manning/Reuters

Mourners stand in the rain at a memorial for those killed at the midnight screening in Aurora, Colorado. They have come to honour the 12 who died and to bear witness to a tragedy Photograph: Rick Wilking/Reuters
