As an addition to previous commentary on pop culture chess imagery, thanks to @IMPERATOR_63 on Reddit (link above) there is now a new entry from the recently-released 007 First Light video game. The virtual setting is clearly a throwback/callout to the From Russia With Love chess tournament scene, although with a modernized board display. So props to the developers for that.
Of course with pop culture, it seems there is always something wrong with the depiction of chess. Here the row numbering is reversed, with A8 being in the lower-left corner. At least the position itself (if you ignore the coordinates) is a real one.
