As the silver anniversary of GoldenEye is around the corner, Nicolás Suszczyk, co-editor of this
site, gives you a unique tribute to the 17th James Bond film. Set for June 8, 2019, the 25th
anniversary of the day where Brosnan was officially announced as the fifth
James Bond actor in London, the book will cover the generational impact of the
1995 film and the huge success of its many official and unofficial video game
adaptations, starting with 1997’s GoldenEye
007 for Nintendo 64. At the same time, the filmmaking process of the film
and the relation of the story with many historical events as the Cold War, the
betrayal of the Cossacks at Lienz in World War II and the 1991 coup against
Mikhail Gorbachov will be thoroughly covered.
ABOUT
THE BOOK
GoldenEye was much more than the debut of Pierce Brosnan in the role of
James Bond. It was the film that saved the series after facing six years of an
uncertain future, and the title is now a popular legend among gamers thanks to
the huge success of the Nintendo 64 video game adaptation. In the eve of its
25th anniversary in 2020, this book offers a comprehensive analysis on one of
the best Bond films ever released and the impact in popular culture that
brought a new generation of Bond fans, in a craze that was very reminiscent to
the waves of Bond mania from the 1960s. The creative process behind the film,
the emergence of a relatively unknown international cast, and the influence of
the Cold War in the story are just some of the themes this comprehensive
analysis of the 1995 film will address to prove GoldenEye is,
many times, an overlooked classic.
The
book is set to be released on June 8, 2019, by Amazon Publishing, to coincide
with the 25th anniversary of Pierce Brosnan's announcement as James Bond. Print
and ebook versions will be available.
