(Sean Connery, the
original James Bond)
James Bond, the savviest super spy in the world of cinema,
has been handed an intriguing assignment: to infiltrate the homes of DStv
Premium customers, and keep them spellbound for two weeks.
From February 23 until March 5, M-Net Movies will screen
every single Bond film ever made - from 1963’s vintage Dr No to the latest explosive big-budget blockbuster Spectre (2015) - on an extra-special
M-Net Movies pop-up channel. All the action will play out on channel 109 on DStv
Premium. It can also be streamed live on DStv Now and enjoyed at your
convenience on DStv Catch Up Plus, which is available with a DStv Wifi
Connector.
The M-Net Movies James Bond pop-up channel pays tribute to
one of Hollywood’s biggest movie franchises, celebrating 55 years of
Hollywood’s most charming secret agent. Over the course of two weeks, fans will
be able to experience all the dapper tuxedos, iconic fast cars, sultry Bond
girls, exotic locations, mind-blowing gadgets, deadly villains, unforgettable
music, incredible title sequences and martinis… shaken, not stirred, of course.
The explosive 24 Bond films will be screened in
chronological order with Sean Connery, the first actor to incarnate author Ian
Fleming’s suave creation, embarking on the first mission on February 23 at 10h10.
Thereafter, he will hand the Bond baton over to Roger Moore and the rest of the
Bonds until Daniel Craig has dismantled Spectre
on February 26 at 20h00. Then the entire sequence will play out again from
February 27 at 10h00 until March 2 at 23h20 before those who missed their
appointments with the secret agent during the day can enjoy the full marathon
of all the films from March 3 at 10h00 until March 5 at 13h30.
As a bonus, four documentaries, namely, Now Pay Attention 007 (2000); Best
Ever Bond (2002); Bond Girls Are
Forever (2012) and Everything or
Nothing: The Untold Story of 007
(2012) take a peek behind the scenes - if they can breach the tight security
that befits the life of a secret agent, that is. Remember, in the world of
espionage, secrecy is everything!
