Tomorrow Never Dies (DVD) ... Pryce ... / DVD released 03 November, 2003 at MGM Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen / Pierce Brosnan returns for his second stint as James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies and he's doing it in high style with an invigorating cast of co-stars. It's only appropriate that a Bond film from 1997 would find Agent 007 pitted against a media mogul (Jonathan Pryce) who's going to start a global war--beginning with stolen nuclear missiles aimed at China--to create attention-grabbing headlines for his latest multimedia news channel. It's the information age run amok and Bond must team up with a lovely and lethal agent from the Chinese External Security Force (played by Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh) to foil the madman's plot of global domination. Luckily for Bond, the villain's wife (Teri Hatcher) is one of his former lovers and, at the behest of his superior "M" (Judi Dench), 007 finds ample opportunity to exploit the connection. Although it bears some nagging similarities to many formulaic action films from the 90s, Tomorrow Never Dies (with a title song performed by Sheryl Crow) boasts enough grand-scale action and sufficiently intelligent plotting to suggest the Bond series has plenty of potential to survive into the next millennium. Armed with the usual array of gadgets (including a remote-controlled BMW), Brosnan settles into his role with acceptable flair and the dynamic Yeoh provides a perfect balance to the sexism that once threatened to turn Bond into a politically incorrect anachronism. He's still Bond, to be sure but he's saving the world with a bit more sophisticated finesse. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. On the DVD: Somewhat disappointingly there is no specific "making-of" documentary for Tomorrow Never Dies: instead we get a generic "Secrets of 007" made-for-US-television feature, a promotional piece that does however include footage from the set of TND. There is also a very brief special effects reel, which highlights the novel (for a Bond movie) use of CGI, as well as a breakdown of key sequences with their storyboards. Elsewhere, composer David Arnold enthuses about writing Bond music from a fan's perspective and Sheryl Crow's music video is included as are theatrical trailers and a text piece on some of the gadgets. There are two commentaries: the first from producer Michael Wilson and stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong; the second has director Roger Spottiswoode in conversation with "friend and colleague" Dan Petrie Jr. Only die-hard fans would have wanted both, the rest may find themselves switching between the two. The film, of course, looks and sounds stunning. --Mark Walker

... 22 films to be released so far, with Bond 23 set to air in 2012. Pierce Brosnan starts as Bond, while Martin Campbell, Roger Spottiswoode, Michael Apted and Lee Tamahori direct. It was released in 1997, and perfomed well at the box office, despite mixed reviews. It received a Golden Globe nomination which it is full deserving of in my opinion. However itwas beaten to number one at the box office as it released on the same day as the amazing Titanic. It's runtime is 119 minutes.

Tomorrow Never Dies was first released in 1997 and is the eighteenth James Bond film and the second to feature Pierce Brosnan in the iconic role. The plot of the film revolves around a media mogul called Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) attempting to start a new world conflict to boost his television empire. Carver wants exclusive broadcast rights to China and believes a war will be the best way to eliminate the obstinate Chinese politicians who are reluctant to allow the Carver Media Group access to their country. With the aid of a (very sci-fi) 'stealth ship' Carver's henchman Stamper (Götz Otto) sinks a British frigate (look fast for Gerard Butler as one of the crew) in Read the complete review

Following the huge success of Goldeneye, plans were quickly made to make a follow up for Pierce Brosnan's Bond as he had proved a huge hit. Within two years another film was ready, this time targeting the world of media and how powerful it has become, and perhaps how dangerous it has become. Bond starts out at a terrorist's bazaar in the middle of the mountains. He has been ordered to find out what is there so that NATO and its allys can destroy it. However, he finds out just after the launch of a cruise missile that there are nuclear bombs there that are attached to a plane. He is able to get the bombs away from there, narrowly avoiding a disaster. At the same ... Read the complete review
