Dear Bond fan,
If you haven't already ordered your copy of MI6 Confidential issue #24, here's a little taste of what you've been missing:
Purvis & Wade on ‘Die Another Day’ being too far-fetched:
"We asked if ithe invisible car could be turned down a bit, so that
something more was visible, but it’s up to Lee Tamahori in the end, the
way he wanted to do it. We could talk about kite surfing as well... but
maybe we should leave that one alone. It’s difficult for us to talk
about because we don’t want to criticize... but it did get a bit over
the top. We were busy pretty much throughout the production because at
the 11th hour, just before we started shooting, there was a change of
the whole of the third act. We had a heck of a lot of work to do to try
and make that all fit. So, it wasn’t ideal.”
Pierce Brosnan on his off-screen relationship with Teri Hatcher in ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’:
Brosnan explained, “She was late to the set because she was newly
pregnant. I didn’t know that until the end of the day. I was vexed
because I had a call time of six or seven A.M., and we didn’t do any
work until three or four in the afternoon. I got very upset with her -
she was always keeping me waiting for hours. When we finally got her in
front of the cameras, it was great. Getting her there was the problem. I
must admit I let slip a few words, which weren’t very nice. No one told
me her situation until afterward. By that time I’d already shot my
mouth off and cussed and moaned and groaned.”
Director John Glen on filming during a war:
“The Argentinean War was taking place at the time of Octopussy. We went
down to Northolt airfield and Peter Lamont, the production designer,
very cleverly made palm trees out of plaster to double for a generic
South American nation that 007 single-handedly invades.” Whilst Glen was
shooting at Northolt, a member of his crew overheard a curious
conversation in a local pub: “They were discussing why there were palm
trees at Northolt Airport and someone said, ‘It’s to make the
Argentinean prisoners of war feel at home!’ They were quite serious in
the pub."
The JBIFC separated from 007 Magazine some years ago.
The James Bond International Fan Club and MI6 Confidential magazine are
pleased to announce that from January 2014 Fan Club-members and its
website readers will be able to purchase copies of the full-colour James
Bond magazine direct from the JBIFC.
