GoldenEye 25 - Remaking the legend (and something more)


The time of HD justice for a beloved videogame, collectable, and legend has finally arrived! Well, not now, actually, but it certainly will in 2022 with the release of GOLDENEYE 25. What's all this about? It's a remake of the highly acclaimed GOLDENEYE 007 for Nintendo 64 set for the 25th anniversary of the 1997 James Bond game.

Danny Boyle out of Bond 25 due to "creative issues"


Danny Boyle stepped down from the director's chair of the 25th James Bond film, set for a November 2019 release worldwide. Not much has been disclosed on the official James Bond site, but producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, with Daniel Craig, have written a statement declaring the TRAINSPOTTING director will no longer direct the movie due to "creative issues".

There's the possibility that John Hodge's treatment for the film will also be discarded and EON might return to the original idea by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.

The Mask of... GoldenEye: much more in common than just one director


After the success of GOLDENEYE in 1995, director Martin Campbell was hired to helm THE MASK OF ZORRO, a sort of cinematic reboot of Johnston McCulley's masked adventurer, in 1998. While James Bond and Zorro lived in a different historical period, had different values and came from different backgrounds, both films bear a few interesting similarities...

Trevelyan's Mainframe - FILE: Surface, Severnaya / Twenty Years Removed


I hope you weren’t expecting a warm reception from this forthcoming level file, friend. You see, the snow covered surface surrounding Siberia’s Severnaya plateau region is among the harshest places to survive in the modern world. A true test of will, one might say. Perhaps for that reason, the Russian military’s space-based weapons division holds a remote station there that stands as the fourth level of GOLDENEYE 007. So, zipper up dear boy. After all, trespassers have been known to disappear underneath the miles of snow that never melts…
