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...

GOLDENEYE TURNS 20 TODAY!
Our beloved 17th James Bond film, GOLDENEYE, celebrates its 20th anniversary today. After six and a half year of silence, agent 007 returned to the big screen with a new face, but with the same charm and style than ever.
Unfortunately, our budget is very low to make a big event and the release of SPECTRE plus our "real life" activities prevented us to dedicate the film more time, yet, we invite you all to write us on our social media networks (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) to reflect on your first time watching the film and the impact it had in your life as a Bond fan. Use the hashtag #Happy20thGoldenEye or #goldeneye20 and the most remarkable post will be uploaded on our site and social media.
Our deepest thank you messages go to the cast and crew of the film: Pierce Brosnan, Izabella Scorupco, Famke Janssen, Sean Bean, Alan Cumming, Robbie Coltrane and Judi Dench. At the same time, we remember those who sadly departed, like Gottfried John, Desmond Llewelyn, associate producer Tom Pevsner, continuity manager Iris Rose and screenwriter Michael France, who built up this wonderful story next to Jeffrey Caine and Bruce Feirstein. A very special thank you to Martin Campbell and his team, not only for bringing James Bond back, but for bringing him back with flying colours!
That said, let's raise our Martini glasses ("Shaken not stirred" or "Straight up, with a twist") to silence some screams and to toast for the milestone reached by the film that kept us alive, and a little alone, for these two decades.

GOLDENEYE 20 - The Women of GoldenEye
Behind every great man there is a great woman. When Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond twenty years ago in GOLDENEYE, he had two very strong main girls... but were them precisely "behind him?".
