JAMES BOND FESTIVAL

M-Net Action hosting James Bond movies in November.

During November, M-Net Action will be showing a festival of James Bond movies continuing the focus on these popular titles.

Tomorrow Never Dies (screened on November 21 at 20h00) was directed in 1977 by Roger Spottiswoode and stars Pierce Brosnan and Jonathan Pryce. Someone is pitting the world’s superpowers against each other -- and only James Bond can stop it. When a British warship is mysteriously destroyed in Chinese waters, the world teeters on the brink of World War III -- until 007 zeros in on the true criminal mastermind. The original title was Tomorrow Never Lies, but the marketing department liked the printer's incorrect version instead.

The World Is Not Enough on November 28 at 20h00 was directed in 1985 by Michael Apted and stars Sophie Marceau and Robert Carlyle. From the banks of the Nervion River in Bilbao, Spain to a spectacular high-speed boat chase up London’s River Thames and through the highlands of Scotland, James Bond barely survives a potential nuclear explosion in a vast oil pipeline in Turkey – all in the name of protecting beautiful oil heiress Elektra King from notorious international terrorist Renard. The title for the movie comes from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. When Bond is in the office of Sir Hillary Bray, he is informed that the translation of his family motto is "The World Is Not Enough".
