  4. Brilliant new 'DAD' pictures online!

    By Tim Roth on 2002-09-26

    German Web Magazine “Chip online” has published some great, partly spoiling pictures from Die Another Day, so be sure not to check them out if you don’t want to see them!

    The whole gallery can be found here, some pictures are known already because they appeared in Magazines and on the internet earlier this year.

    Now a list of the most interesting pictures featuring on Chip Online.

    Spoiler Warning [Highlight To Read!]

    Picture #1: Remember that scene in the 2nd Teaser Trailer, when Bond swims under the surface of a frozen lake? It seems this photo was taken after James Bond gets out of the water.

    Picture #2: This scene will take place during the Virtual Reality Sequence: Bond aiming at terrorists.

    Picture #3: A scene we saw briefly in the first Teaser Trailer: Halle Berry’s Character Jinx on a computer, most likely in a Cuban Hospital.

    Picture #4: Back in March, when scenes were shot in Eden Project, Cornwall, we heard some rumours that Halle Berry will rope down from one of the domes. This seems to be a late confirmation for it.

    Picture #5: We know this photo already from jamesbond.com, but here we have a clear version. Rumours were saying that the lady is Silvia Trench, who appeared as Bond’s Girlfriend in ‘Dr. No’ and ‘From Russia with Love’. No Confirmation anyway.

    Picture #6 and Picture #7: Wow! Two of the first high quality pictures from the sword fight between Gustav Graves and James Bond. The fight takes place in Blades Club, everything is looking very expensive and kind of royal, some other fighters are attending.

    Picture #7: Seems like a scene taking place in Blades Club as well, featuring Miranda Frost, Gustav Graves and James Bond.

    Picture #8: Now this picture might be a Major Spoiler! On the right we see General Moon, the peace-loving father of Colonel Moon. Gustav Graves in a Korean Military Uniform and Miranda Ever Sexy Looking Forst are attending as well. Now a question: Is Graves finally Colonel Moon? One of the first rumours about Bond 20 we heard was saying that there will be a Facial Transformation System. We know the photos of Zao, but could Colonel Moon have done such a Transformation and become Gustav Graves? This picture looks like it. Seems Miranda is the bad girl, Jinx the good one. But who knows actually?

    Picture #9: Where are Jinx, Bond and Robinson?

    Picture #10: What the hell is that?

    Picture #11: Zao is threatening Jinx who is caught on a table. A reference to the world famous scene from ‘Goldfinger’


    Anyway, great pictures here! Be sure to discuss everything in this thread of the CBn Die Another Day Forums!

    By daniel on 2002-09-24

    He’s the man with the Midas Touch and he’s been ranked as one of America’s Richest in The Forbes Fictional Fifteen. He is none other than the cinematic incarnation of Auric Goldfinger.

    With a networth of US$1.2 billion Auric Goldfinger finds himself in the number 10 place. While he fends off competition from the likes of C. Montgomery Burns and Cruella De Vil it seems Goldfinger will never be able to take the top spot. That position is held by Santa Clause who, according to Forbes, has a networth of infinite wealth. Also in competition to Goldfinger are the likes of Bruce Wayne, Willie Wonka and Scrooge McDuck.

    According to Forbes Goldfinger is aged 51 and the source of his wealth is Gold and Commodities Training. Their biography of Goldfinger reads;

    Built fortune trading commodities with special talent for dealing in gold bullion. “Gold is in my name, and it’s my passion. I love it more ways than I can count.” Recently expanded into low-tech U.S. investments, buying and renovating Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises and aging Miami Beach hotels. Secretive and rarely seen, rumored to spend much time in native Planitz, Germany, closely guarded by manservant Oddjob. Passion for gambling in all forms, from gin rummy to golf to horse racing. Hates to lose; rarely does. Member since 1964.

  9. Madonna Confirms Role

    By daniel on 2002-09-24

    In an interview with Genre magazine Madonna has spoken of her two roles in Die Another Day; that is, of the title song and of her cameo role.

    To begin with, Madonna has confirmed earlier reports that her role in Die Another Day would be that of James Bond’s fencing instructor. Obviously, the role will see her on screen opposite Pierce Brosnan. There is still no word on how long Madonna will be seen on screen, thought it was recently revealed that her characters name is Verity.

    Of the theme song for Die Another Day Madonna has told Genre, “The song I wrote for the Bond film is about destroying your ego, and it’s juxtaposing the metaphor of, you know, the fight against good and bad, and it’s set inside the whole universe of Bond. Like all Bond films, somebody’s chasing him or he’s chasing somebody and it’s always a fight against good and evil. I wanted to take it to another level. It’s kind of a metaphor.. I’m fighting myself.”

    By daniel on 2002-09-23

    Orange Today have reported that MTV will air two special James Bond programmes in November this year.

    Bond fans can look forward to a ‘diary entry’ entitled A Day In The Life of 007 which will feature contributions from Bond actor Pierce Brosnan and from Die Another Day’s director Lee Tamahori. The program will air on MTV UK on November 1.

    It seems that the US Market will receive a different special with MTV showing a special program on the film on it’s US release date, November 22nd. The program will feature interviews with Lee Tamahori, Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry and Judi Dench.

    Hopefully, MTV Channels world-wide will show both programs, giving Bond fans the opportunity to watch both documentries.
