Steven Spielberg says James Bond producers couldn't afford him

Steven Spielberg revealed he was rejected twice by James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, first after "Jaws" and again after "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Spielberg offered to direct a Bond film in exchange for using the "Close Encounters" musical theme in "Moonraker," but was denied. He believes this led to him directing "Raiders of the Lost Ark" instead. Spielberg joked that Bond producers "couldn't afford him" now.

Licence to thrill: could 007 First Light be the best Bond game since GoldenEye?

James Bond games have always fallen short of capturing the precise feel of the classic movies. But Amazon’s first dip into the 007 mythology seems to have a character of its ownIn the wake of the last James Bond movie, No Time to Die, there was a surge of articles asking whether it should spell the end for Ian Fleming’s secret agent. In that movie, Daniel Craig played the character as a fading force, mentally and physically exhausted, and out of touch. “The world has moved on,” Lashana Lynch’s younger agent told him at one point, and in a lot of ways she was right. A product of the cold war era, 007 was a sociopathic misogynist addicted to booze and amphetamines – Craig tried to play all that down, creating a more rounded character and, controversially, giving Bond the ultimate redemption arc at the end of his final outing.But five years later, with the franchise’s new owner Amazon still trying to pull the next film together, we’re about to get what looks to be the best Bond game since GoldenEye. Created by the Danish developer IO Interactive, famed for its Hitman series of anarchic open-ended assassination sims, 007 First Light follows a fresh-faced Bond from his early career as an aircrewman to his first mission as a double-0 operative. The games press was recently given a three-hour hands-on demo to play, and reports suggest that it combines elements of the Hitman games (Bond navigating a gala event, either sleuthing or punching his way to the mission objective) with major set-piece shootouts, chase scenes and miraculous gadgets. (For more on its making, read this piece about how developer IO Interactive brought it together.) Continue reading...

David Arnold and Lana Del Rey Collaborate on New James Bond Game Music

The new James Bond video game 007 First Light, releasing in May, features a collaboration between Hollywood composer David Arnold and pop star Lana Del Rey on the theme song First Light. Arnold, the only composer since John Barry to score multiple Bond films, describes the Bond theme as a 'shop window' that tempts players into the world. The game, developed by IO Interactive over seven years, aims to capture the essence of a young Bond earning his 007 stripes, with the developer emphasizing the importance of British humour, gadgets, cars, and glamour.

‘You can be any Bond you want’: the inside story of 007 First Light

Hitman developer IO Interactive’s pluralistic take on the British secret agent – his first video-game outing in almost 15 years – promises a Bond for all eras. Here’s what you need to knowIf you want to tell the tale of a young James Bond, you first need to pick which James Bond he’s going to grow into. This was the task handed to Hitman developer IO Interactive, the studio taking digital custody of the spy in 007 First Light, Bond’s first video game in almost 15 years. So what’s it to be? Will their agent take baby steps towards Sean Connery’s gruff masculinity, or is he practising Roger Moore’s arched eyebrow in the bathroom mirror? That’s if he’s a “movie” Bond at all. For a generation of gamers, the character exists most vividly as a hand at the bottom of the screen in GoldenEye 007.As it turns out, 007 First Light’s Bond, depicted by Patrick Gibson (cornering a specific market, having played the serial killer-to-be in the Dexter origins show) is an amalgam: the facial scar is an Ian Fleming detail, but the sweet-talking charm is straight from the Pierce Brosnan playbook, and the second you barge a goon into a bookcase you know someone’s been studying Casino Royale on a loop. Trying to devise a Bond for all fandoms could risk satisfying none, but in the demo we played, the performance works. Crucially, Gibson brings an outsider’s unease that’s all his own, anchored by the arrogance that’ll one day be weaponised by MI6. Continue reading...
