Pierce Brosnan: "I Loved GoldenEye"

It was a busy week for Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, now back in action next Wednesday when his upcoming action film THE NOVEMBER MAN gets its US release. After a few interviews with hosts like Jimmy Fallon, he quickly talked to fans trough an AMA on Reddit last Thursday.

20 YEARS OF 007 BROSNAN – Prologue: To Get So Close And Be Denied

“If he can act, he’s my guy,” said producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli on the set of 1981’s FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, thinking of a replacement for Roger Moore who was considering his retirement of the role of 007.

Broccoli was talking about none other than the 28-year-old man who was visiting the film set in Corfu, Greece, where his wife Cassandra Harris was playing a love interest of Moore’s Bond, Countess Lisl Von Schalf.

Serena Gordon on Acting: "Botox and Bitchiness"

50-year-old actress Serena Gordon, who played MI6 neurotic assesor Caroline in GOLDENEYE (the first girl to succumb to Pierce Brosnan's James Bond charms onscreen), revealed why she left acting: "Unless you’re prepared to do the full Botox thing nowadays, it’s a very harsh world."

Happy Easter!

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday, GOLDENEYE enthisuasts!

The Lost Art of Interrogation: Yannick Zenhäusern Interview

He's really the man with the midas touch when it comes to rescore a Bond film we love or bring a modern touch to the classic GOLDENEYE 64 tunes for the Mod version of the 1997 classic, hence his nickname GoldenZen. Ladies and gentleman, this is Yannick Zenhäusern, best known his work  on GOLDENEYE: SOURCE and GoldenEye: Decrypted, a rescore of the 1995 James Bond film. In the following interview, we have some "chit-chat" with GoldenZen about it all: Bond, Serra, NIGHTFIRE: SOURCE and, of course, something on his upcoming GOLDFINGER project...

GoldenEye: The First Resurrection

By Nicolás Suszczyk (first published on 007hertzrumble.com)

In SKYFALL, Daniel Craig’s James Bond says to an overjoyed Silva his hobby is “resurrection”. Of course he resurrected in SKYFALL after a not so bright QUANTUM OF SOLACE and in CASINO ROYALE after the somewhat grotesque DIE ANOTHER DAY. But the first resurrection 007 has ever had was, without a doubt, the 1995 film GOLDENEYE.

I was seven and a half years old when I saw a graphic ad in Buenos Aires announcing the cable TV premiere of GOLDENEYE in December 1997 or January 1998. Against a white background, there was a good-looking fellow in a tuxedo holding a silenced Walther PPK handgun, in an image lifted from the film’s teaser poster under the tagline “you know the name, you know the number.”

GOLDENEYE IN YOUR TASTE

Our friends from the Club James Bond France shared a nice story about the rarest GOLDENEYE collectable (probably rarest Bond collectable!) ever to be produced: a GOLDENEYE red wine.

Some time before the film was released in 1995, movie critic Kevin Collette was hired as an editor to supervise a special 007 issue of Lui, a Playboy style French magazine. Having the list of official worldwide licences by MGM to offer readers an accuarate list of must-have Bond/GOLDENEYE merchandising, he finally found two rare items that had never reached the market.

THE GOLDENEYE ARCHIVE - Cine Top (November 1995, Argentina)
