James Bond is a fictional character created by the British journalist and novelist Ian Fleming in 1952. The literary character appeared in a series of twelve novels and 2 brusque story collections written by Fleming and a number of continuation novels and spin-off works after Fleming's death in 1964. There have been xx-7 films in total, produced and released between 1962 and 2021.

Fleming portrayed Bond every bit a tall, athletic, handsome secret agent in his thirties or forties; he has several vices, including drinking, smoking, gambling, automobiles and womanising. He is an exceptional marksman, and he is skilled in unarmed combat, skiing, swimming and golf. While Bail kills without hesitation or regret, he usually kills simply when carrying out orders, while acting in self-defence force, and occasionally equally revenge.

American actor Barry Nelson was the offset to portray Bail on screen, in a 1954 boob tube accommodation, "Casino Royale". In 1961, Eon Productions began piece of work on Dr. No, an adaptation of the 1958 novel of the same name. The result was a motion picture that spawned a series of 20-5 films produced by Eon Productions and two contained films. After considering "refined" English actors such every bit Cary Grant and David Niven, the producers cast Sean Connery every bit Bond in the film. Fleming was appalled at the selection of the uncouth 31-year-onetime Scottish actor, considering him the antonym of his character. However, Connery's physical prowess and sexual magnetism became closely identified with the character, with Fleming ultimately irresolute his view on Connery and incorporating aspects of his portrayal into the books.

Seven actors in total have portrayed Bond in pic. Following Connery'south portrayal, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig take assumed the role. These screen versions take retained many traits from Fleming's delineation, although some of Bail's less politically correct traits take been dropped, such as his treatment of women and smoking. These changes first took place in 1995's GoldenEye. The addition of Judi Dench as Bail's superior "M" in a professional person position of ability and Bond no longer smoking showed Eon's attitudes changing with the times. Despite their depicting the same graphic symbol, there have been notable differences among the portrayals. Daniel Craig has been the incumbent Bail in the Eon series for the longest fourth dimension although not the most films. He portrayed the role for a fifth fourth dimension in No Time to Dice, which was released in September 2021.

Fleming'due south literary characterisation [edit]

A Underground Service agent, James Bond was a composite based on a number of commandos that author Ian Fleming had known during his service in the Naval Intelligence Division during World War II, to whom he added his ain style and a number of his own tastes. Fleming appropriated his character's proper noun from the American ornithologist of the aforementioned name. Bond'due south code number 007 comes from one of British naval intelligence'southward key achievements of World War I: the breaking of the German diplomatic code.[1] Ane of the German documents cracked and read by the British was the Zimmermann Telegram, which was coded 0075,[2] and which was one of the factors that led to the U.s. entering the state of war as an ally against the Fundamental Powers. Subsequently, if fabric was graded 00 information technology meant it was highly classified. Fleming later told a announcer: "When I was at the Admiralty ... all the top-secret signals had the double-0 prefix ... and I decided to borrow information technology for Bond."[i]

Although James Bond is in his mid-to-late thirties, he does not historic period in Fleming's stories.[3] Fleming biographer Andrew Lycett noted that, "within the first few pages [of Casino Royale] Ian had introduced most of Bond'due south idiosyncrasies and trademarks", which included his looks, his Bentley and his smoking and drinking habits:[iv] Bond'due south penchant for alcohol runs throughout the series of books[5] and he smokes upwards to 70 cigarettes a twenty-four hour period.[6] [a]

Fleming decided to underplay Bond'due south character, observing: "Exotic things would happen to and around him, simply he would be a neutral figure."[9] On another occasion, he reinforced his point: "When I wrote the kickoff one in 1953, I wanted Bail to exist an extremely boring, uninteresting homo to whom things happened; I wanted him to be a blunt instrument."[x]

Films [edit]

Timeline of James Bail films

Sean Connery: 1961–1967, 1970–1971 and 1982–1983 [edit]

Sean Connery was the kickoff actor to portray Bail in flick in Dr. No (1962). A Scottish amateur bodybuilder, he had come to the attending of the Bond picture show producers afterwards several appearances in British films from the late 1950s.[11] At a muscular 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), Connery was initially met with disapproval from Fleming, who believed he was an overgrown stuntman defective the finesse and elegance to play James Bond; he envisaged a suave thespian, such equally David Niven, playing the role.[12] Producer Albert R. Broccoli—known to all every bit Cubby—disagreed with Fleming's view, afterwards commenting that "I wanted a ballsy guy ... put a bit of veneer over that tough Scottish hide and you've got Fleming's Bail instead of all the mincing poofs we had applying for the job".[13] Eon'south pick of Connery was too based on his looks and sex activity entreatment,[xiv] an appeal that would later exist echoed by Honor Blackman (who played Pussy Galore), who said, after actualization with Connery in Goldfinger, "He was exceedingly handsome, virile and sexy and that actually was the tenor of what the script was always trying to display".[fifteen] After Connery was chosen, manager Terence Young took the actor to his tailor and barber,[xvi] and introduced him to the high life, restaurants, casinos and women of London. In the words of Bond writer Raymond Benson, Young educated the player "in the ways of being dapper, witty, and above all, cool".[17]

Connery's interpretation of the graphic symbol differed considerably from Fleming's, beingness more promiscuous and cold-blooded than the literary version.[xviii] Connery described Bond equally "a complete sensualist—senses highly tuned, awake to everything, quite amoral. I particularly like him because he thrives on conflict".[nineteen] Academic James Chapman observed that, for Dr. No, Connery's estimation of the character, although not complete, showed the histrion "should be credited with having established a new style of performance: a British screen hero in the mode of an American leading man".[twenty] In his 2d film, From Russia with Dear, Connery looked less nervous and edgy; he gave "a relaxed, wry performance of subtle wit and fashion".[21] Pfeiffer and Worrall noted that Connery "personified James Bond with such perfection that even Ian Fleming ... admitted that it was difficult imagining anyone else in the part";[22] [b] academic Jeremy Black agreed, and declared that "Connery made the role his own and created the Bond audience for the cinema".[26] Blackness likewise observed that Connery gave the character a "spare, pared-downward character ... [with] inner bleakness along with the way".[26] Connery played Bail with "the right mix of cool charisma, violence and airs ... against which all others are judged".[27] Raymond Benson perceived that Connery "embodies a ruggedness and an intense screen presence this transcends any preconceived notions about the character".[28] Benson as well noted that Bond was witty, but contains "an assured toughness that epitomises the adulthood male person".[28] Roger Moore agreed with Black and Benson, commenting that "Sean was Bail. He created Bond. He embodied Bail and because of Sean, Bond became an instantly recognisable character the world over—he was rough, tough, mean and witty ... he was a bloody adept 007".[29] However, despite his amuse and virility, Connery was characteristically laconic in his commitment.[30] [31] Christopher Bray says of him that "in his unmarried-minded, laconic, mocking, self-sufficient vanity, Connery's Bond was the epitome of sixties consumer civilisation".[32]

Interviewed by Oriana Fallaci in 1965, Connery identified where he had altered the character for the films, maxim "I said to the producers that the grapheme had one defect, there was no sense of humor well-nigh him; to get him accepted, they'd have to permit me play him natural language-in-cheek, so people could laugh. They agreed, and there y'all are: today Bail is accepted to such an extent that even philosophers take the trouble to analyze him, fifty-fifty intellectuals enjoy defending him or attacking him. And fifty-fifty while they're laughing at him, people take him terribly seriously".[33] Connery went on to add that "Bond is important: this invincible superman that every man would like to copy, that every adult female would similar to conquer, this dream nosotros all have of survival. And so one tin can't aid liking him".[33] After the pressures of five films in half-dozen years, Connery left the role after the 1967 picture show You lot Only Live Twice saying, "It became a terrible force per unit area, like living in a goldfish bowl ... that was office of the reason I wanted to be finished with Bond. Also I had become completely identified with information technology, and information technology became very wearing and very ho-hum".[34]

After a hiatus of one film—On Her Majesty'south Hugger-mugger Service, in which George Lazenby played Bond—Connery returned to the role for Diamonds Are Forever subsequently David Picker, the head of United Artists, fabricated it clear that Connery was to exist enticed dorsum to the role and that money was no object. When approached about resuming the office of Bond, Connery demanded—and received—a fee of £one.25 million (£27 one thousand thousand in 2020 pounds),[35] 12.5% of the gross profits[36] and, as a further enticement, United Artists offered to back two films of his choice.[37] [c] His functioning received mixed reviews, with Raymond Benson because that Connery "looks weary and bored ... he is overweight, slow-moving, and doesn't seem to be trying to create a apparent character".[39] Despite that, Benson considers that Connery "yet radiates more screen presence than Roger Moore or George Lazenby".[39] On the other hand, Pauline Kael said "Connery's James Bond is less lecherous than earlier and less foppish—and he's ameliorate this way".[40]

Producer Jack Schwartzman moved ahead with a not-Eon Bond film in the early on 1980s, following the controversy over the 1961 novel Thunderball [41] and the subsequent long legal battle;[42] the upshot was Never Say Never Over again. Connery accepted an offer to play Bond once more, asking for (and receiving) a fee of $3 million ($8 million in 2020 dollars),[43] a per centum of the profits, as well as casting, director and script approving.[44] The script has several references to Bail's advancing years, playing on Connery existence 52 years of age at the time of filming.[44] [45] David Robinson, reviewing the pic for The Times, considered that "Connery ... is back, looking hardly a day older or thicker, and still outclassing every other exponent of the role, in the goodnatured throwaway with which he parries all the sex and violence on the way".[46] In 2003, Bond, as portrayed past Connery, was selected equally the 3rd-greatest hero in picture palace history by the American Film Institute.[47]

David Niven: 1967 [edit]

When Sean Connery had been cast in November 1961,[51] David Niven had been Fleming's option for the role; the thespian reflected the author's image of the character.[12] In 1965 producer Charles Feldman signed Niven to play Sir James Bail for Casino Royale, a film non made by Eon Productions. Connery and Peter Sellers had both turned downwardly the function.[52] [53] Niven was 56 when he played Bail[54] and his characterisation was that of an elderly man who had won the Victoria Cross at the siege of Mafeking, had a girl by his lover, the spy Mata Hari, played Claude Debussy on the piano, ate royal jelly and cultivated blackness roses.[55] [56] The concept of Bond is that in one case Niven's Bond retired, his name and 007 designation was passed to another amanuensis to keep the legend live; James Chapman notes that the implication was that the "other Bond" was that played by Connery.[57]

Chapman considered the concept of an elderly Bond interesting, with Bail referring to Connery's Bond every bit a "sexual acrobat who leaves a trail of beautiful dead women behind like blown roses".[57] In line with the literary Bail, Niven's character drives a vintage Bentley, rather than the Aston Martin favoured by Connery.[57] Bond scholar Steven Jay Rubin idea Niven perfectly cast equally the retired Bail, and saw him as "a throw-back to the hell-for-leather risk heroes" of the character, which paralleled Niven's own life and career.[58] Barnes and Hearn describe this every bit a "perfectly fair estimation", given the way Niven approached the part,[59] while Raymond Benson thinks casting Niven was "intelligent".[lx] Jeremy Black questioned the employ of Niven in the function, observing that he did not seem to be a killer, and did non have the "disconcerting edge" that Connery had.[12]

George Lazenby: 1968–1969 [edit]

With the deviation of Connery afterwards Y'all Simply Live Twice (1967), Broccoli and manager Peter R. Hunt chose picayune-known Australian actor George Lazenby (born 1939), to exist the tertiary major actor (following Sean Connery and David Niven) to play the role of Bond. He kickoff came to their attention in a Fry'due south Chocolate Cream advert.[61] Lazenby dressed the part by sporting several sartorial Bond elements such equally a Rolex Submariner wristwatch and a Savile Row conform (ordered, simply uncollected, past Connery), and going to Connery's hairdresser at the Dorchester Hotel in London.[62] Lazenby consolidated his claim during a screen test, when he accidentally punched a professional wrestler, who was interim as stunt coordinator, in the face, impressing Broccoli with his ability to display aggression.[63] Lazenby never signed a contract, with negotiations dragging on during production,[64] and he was subsequently unfortunately convinced by his amanuensis Ronan O'Rahilly that the secret agent character image would exist archaic in the liberated 1970s; as a outcome he left the role of Agent 007 even before the release of On Her Majesty'due south Secret Service in 1969.[61] For his performance as Bond, Lazenby was nominated for the Gilt Globe Honor for New Star of the Year – Player at the following yr's 27th Golden Globe Awards in February 1970.[65]

Critical opinion was split most Lazenby; he has been considered to take been the worst Bond,[66] and has variously been described as "laconic and humourless",[eighteen] "a fiddling stiff"[67] and "annoying and smug".[68] Derek Malcolm of The Guardian was dismissive of Lazenby's performance, saying that he "is not a good actor and though I never thought Sean Connery was all that stylish either, in that location are moments when one yearns for a piffling of his louche panache".[69] The New York Times critic AH Weiler also weighed in against Lazenby, maxim that "Lazenby, if not a spurious Bond, is but a casual, pleasant, satisfactory replacement".[70] Pauline Kael called Lazenby "quite a dull boyfriend" in her otherwise positive review in The New Yorker magazine.[71] However, Peter R. Hunt, director of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, stated that Lazenby should have undertaken more films in the function, saying "he would have made a very credible Bond and been very good indeed".[72]

Smith and Lavington consider that Lazenby "had chosen to play Bond the same mode as Sean Connery had, with maybe more humility and humanity";[73] they went on to say that "Lazenby's inexperience rarely shows" in the motion picture, and that "he invariably rises to the occasion".[74] Alexander Walker in the Evening Standard of London, said that, "The truth is that George Lazenby is almost every bit good a James Bond as the man whom he humorously referred to in this picture show equally 'this never happened to the other fellow'?!. Lazenby's phonation is more suave than sexy-sinister and he could pass for the other fellow's twin on the shady side of the casino. Bail is now definitely all set up for the Seventies".[75] Judith Crist of New York Mag commented that, "This time effectually there's less suavity and a no-nonsense muscularity and maleness to the function via the handsome Mr. Lazenby".[76] Feminist moving picture critic Molly Haskell wrote an approving review in the Village Vocalization: "Lazenby ... seems more comfortable in a moisture tuxedo than a dry out martini, more at ease as a donnish genealogist than reading (or playing) Playboy magazine, and who actually dares to think that i woman who is his equal is better than a yard part-time playmates".[77]

James Chapman considers that Lazenby looks the part of Bond, identifying his athleticism and "arrogant swagger", which "convey the snobbery of the character".[78] Chapman also distinguished a more vulnerable and human characterisation in Bond—feeling wearied and falling in love—as opposed to the "heroic superman" of Connery.[78] Brian Fairbanks noted that "OHMSS gives us a James Bond capable of vulnerability, a man who can show fearfulness and is non immune to heartbreak. Lazenby is that homo, and his operation is superb".[79] Ben Macintyre likewise observed that of all the Bonds, Lazenby's characterisation was closest to that of Fleming's original literary graphic symbol envisioned in the 1950s era of spy novels.[xviii]

Roger Moore: 1972–1985 [edit]

After Diamonds Are Forever, Broccoli and Saltzman tried to convince Sean Connery to return as Bond, but he declined.[80] Subsequently considering Jeremy Brett, Michael Billington and Julian Glover,[81] [82] the two producers finally turned to Roger Moore, whom they had previously discussed for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but who had been unavailable, and he was ultimately cast to play Bond in Alive and Let Die.[63] [83] At the time Moore was an established goggle box actor, known for his performances every bit Simon Templar in The Saint and Lord Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders!, in both of which he played a "charming, debonair, international playboy".[84] When playing Bond, Moore tried non to imitate either Connery or his previous roles, and screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz fitted the screenplay effectually Moore's persona past giving more one-act scenes and a light-hearted feel to Bail,[80] an approach that led Raymond Benson to draw Moore'due south Bond every bit "a rather smarmy, countenance-raising international playboy who never seemed to go hurt".[85]

Flick writer Andrew Spicer considered Roger Moore the most elegant and mannerly of the Bonds, with the vocalisation and style of an English debonair country gentleman.[86] Benson agreed, stating that Moore was, "besides nice and well-mannered to be a James Bond of any real substance",[23] while Doug Pratt said that "the writers worked out an amenable personality for Roger Moore and plant a breezy residual between comedy and activity".[87] To make Moore's grapheme appear tougher, a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum — which at the time was associated with the macho image of the Clint Eastwood graphic symbol, Dirty Harry — was called for Moore to use in Alive and Permit Die rather than Bond's usual choice of Walther PPK.[88]

Spicer says "Roger Moore re-created Bond as an old-style debonair hero, more than polished and sophisticated than Connery's incarnation, using the mocking insouciance he had perfected in his role as Simon Templar ... Moore's humour was a throwaway, and certainly in the later films, verged on self-parody. It was an essential strand in the increasingly tongue-in-cheek direction of the series which became more calorie-free-hearted, knowing and playfully intertextual".[86] Chapman noted that Moore was the most comedic of the Bonds, with a more light-hearted arroyo to playing the character with a mocking wit and innuendo.[84] Additionally, Moore's 1-liners were delivered in a way to suggest that the violence inherent in the films was a joke, as opposed to Connery's, which was used to mitigate the violence.[89] Moore explained his approach to the humour by maxim "to me, the Bond situations are and so ridiculous ... I hateful, this homo is supposed to be a spy, and notwithstanding everybody knows he'due south a spy ... it's outrageous. So y'all have to treat the humour outrageously as well".[xc]

Pauline Kael was a fairly vocal critic of Moore's, dismissing him equally an "iceberg" in The Man with the Golden Gun. In reviewing For Your Optics Only, she wrote "Roger Moore is Bond again, and his thought of Bond's imperturbable cool is the same as playing expressionless". Reviewing Moonraker, she wrote "Roger Moore is dutiful and passive as Bail; his clothes are neatly pressed and he shows up for work, like an office manager who is turning into expressionless wood but hanging on to collect his pension". Only in The Spy Who Loved Me, one of Kael's favourite Bond films, did she praise him describing him as self-effacing: "Moore gets the chance to look scared—an emotion that suits him and makes him more than likable".[71]

A number of Moore'south personal preferences were transferred into his characterisation of Bail: his taste for Cuban cigars and his wearing of safari suits were assigned to the graphic symbol.[91] Moore's use of cigars in his early films put him in contrast to the cigarette-smoking Connery, Lazenby and Dalton.[92] Past the time of Moore's 5th film, For Your Eyes Only, released in 1981, his characterisation had come to represent an old-fashioned character, in dissimilarity to the fashionability Connery had brought to the role in the 1960s.[93]

In 1985 Moore appeared in his seventh and final film, A View to a Impale; he was 57 (he appeared alongside co-star Tanya Roberts, who was 30).[94] Critics focused on Moore's age:[95] The Washington Post said "Moore isn't merely long in the tooth – he'south got tusks, and what looks like an eye chore has given him the pie-eyed blankness of a zombie. He'south not believable anymore in the activity sequences, even less so in the romantic scenes".[96] When he was cast for the picture, Moore recalled that he felt "a bit long in the tooth",[97] and in December 2007 admitted that he "was only about four hundred years too old for the part".[98] Like Connery, Moore appeared every bit Bond in seven films; by the time he retired in 1985, he was the oldest histrion to play 007 in the Eon series,[99] and his Bond films had earned over $1 billion at the box office.[100]

Timothy Dalton: 1986–1994 [edit]

With the retirement of Roger Moore in 1985, a search for a new actor to play Bond took place that saw a number of actors, including Sam Neill,[102] Pierce Brosnan[103] and Timothy Dalton, audition for the office in 1986. Bond co-producer Michael Chiliad. Wilson, director John Glen, Dana and Barbara Broccoli "were impressed with Sam Neill and very much wanted to use him", although Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli was not sold on the actor.[104] Dalton and Brosnan were both considered by Eon,[105] [106] merely after Brosnan was eventually ruled out by his Remington Steele contract,[103] Dalton was appointed in August 1986[107] on a bacon of $five.two million.[36] When he was either 24 or 25 years onetime Dalton had discussed playing Bond with Broccoli, only decided he was too immature to have the role, thinking Bond should be portrayed as existence betwixt 35 and 40 years sometime.[105] In preparing for the role, Dalton, a green-eyed, nighttime haired, slender, 6'2" (1 1000 88 cm) classically trained Shakespearean actor,[108] was swell to portray the character as accurately equally possible, reading up extensively on the books before his role in The Living Daylights (1987). [109]

Dalton's Bail was a serious one: dark, cold, stern, ruthless, showing piddling humour, and focused as a killer with little time for fun and indulgence.[18] [110] Dalton's interpretation of the character came from his "desire to come across a darker Bail",[111] 1 that was "less of a womaniser, tougher and closer to the darker character Ian Fleming wrote about".[111] James Chapman also considered Dalton closer to Fleming's Bond than the previous actors, writing that Dalton was "clearly less comfy ... with the witty asides and 1-liners ... so he becomes something closer to the Bail of the books, who rarely develops a sense of humour".[112] When reviewing Licence to Kill, Iain Johnstone of The Sunday Times disagreed, declaring that "any vestiges of the gentleman spy ... by Ian Fleming" have now gone;[113] he went on to say that "this character is remarkably shut both in deed and action to the eponymous hero of the new Batman flick".[113]

Non all viewers were taken with Dalton. Jay Scott of The Globe and Mail was entirely dismissive. "The new Bond has been widely described in feature stories as a throwback to the Ian Fleming original (studying the Fleming novels, Dalton was pleased to discover that Bond was a human existence, he says), and that may be true, if the Fleming original lacked charm, sexual activity appeal and wit. Timothy Dalton's Bond is a serious bloke who swallows his words and approaches his job with responsibleness and humanity, and eschews promiscuity – Dirtless Harry. You lot get the feeling that on his off nights, he might curlicue up with the Reader's Digest and catch an episode of Moonlighting – he'd effort to memorize the jokes – earlier nodding off nether the influence of Ovaltine. The British reviews of The Living Daylights take been laudatory, peradventure because this Bond is the most British of all, if British is to be understood as a synonym for reserved".[114]

Raymond Benson noted that Dalton "purposely played Bond equally a ruthless and serious man with very little of the wit displayed by Connery, Lazenby or Moore",[115] and considered him "the virtually accurate and literal interpretation of the part ... always seen on screen".[116] His character too reflected a degree of moral ambiguity; in Licence to Kill, for example, he becomes a rogue agent,[86] while Dalton himself saw the graphic symbol as a "human, not a superhuman; a human being who is beset with moral confusions and apathies and uncertainties, and who is often very frightened and nervous and tense".[116] Smith and Lavington observed that during Dalton'south portrayal in Licence to Kill, Bond appeared "cocky-absorbed ... reckless, brutal, decumbent to nervous laughter and ... probably insane, or at least seriously disturbed.[117] In the light of Licence to Kill, one bookish, Martin Willis, referred to Dalton's Bond as a "muscular vigilante".[118] Steven Jay Rubin noted that Dalton'southward films had "a hard-edged reality and some unflinching violent episodes that were better suited to Dalton'south more than realistic approach to the grapheme".[119] Rubin considered Dalton's portrayal "Fleming's Bond ... the suffering Bail".[120] In contrast to the previous incarnations of the character, Smith and Lavington identified Dalton'southward humour as "brooding rather than brassy";[121] combined with his heavy smoking, they considered him "an effective leading human".[121] Although Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum called Sean Connery the best Bond, he considered Dalton the best actor of the four he worked with.[122] Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz agreed with this view, praising Dalton's "androgynous... and evil" screen persona.[123] Director John Glen also felt that Dalton was the best actor who portrayed Bail, and that he was ahead of his time, noting the comparisons between Daniel Craig'southward incarnation to that of Dalton's.[124] Dalton was voted the second-best Bond, backside Connery, in a publicly conducted poll past Radio Times in anticipation to the 25th Bond film, No Time to Die.[125] Dalton'southward films did non perform as well at the box office as most of the previous films. Commentators such as Screen International considered the Bail series had run its course in the age of serial such as Indiana Jones and Lethal Weapon.[126] Edward P. Comentale observed that "Dalton, for all his occasional flat northern vowels, was probably likewise much the phase player to exist convincing equally an action hero in the age of Willis, Schwarzenegger and Stallone".[127] After just ii films—The Living Daylights and Licence to Impale—litigation ensued over the licensing of the Bond catalogue, delaying what would take been Dalton's third flick by several years. His six-year contract expired in 1993 and he left the series in 1994.[128]

Pierce Brosnan: 1994–2004 [edit]

After Timothy Dalton retired from the Bond part in 1994, Eon turned to the thespian they had considered later on A View to a Kill: Pierce Brosnan.[103] He was offered a 3-film contract, with an option on a fourth;[129] his salary for his kickoff film, GoldenEye, was $iv million, which rose to $16.v one thousand thousand for his fourth and concluding outing, Die Another Day.[36] Brosnan had first met Broccoli on the ready of For Your Eyes Only, when Brosnan'south wife, Cassandra Harris, was appearing in the movie every bit Countess Lisl von Schlaf, and the couple lunched with Broccoli during filming.[81] Brosnan went on to play a criminal-turned-private investigator in Remington Steele in the 1980s,[99] where he captured some of the traits of previous Bonds in playing the role: like Moore, he exemplified a high caste of suavity, elegance, charm and wit,[18] [130] [131] but displayed a masculinity and grittiness on occasion reminiscent of Connery'southward Bond, both successfully "combine the graphic symbol'south Englishness with a classless internationalism that is highly knowing".[132] Andrew Spicer says that "Brosnan's frame carries the 'Armani look' with its refined understated Englishness, to perfection. His lithe, sinuous athleticism is well suited to the fast-paced activity and country-of-the-art gadgetry that retains the series' core appeal".[132] James Chapman likewise considered Brosnan'southward appearance hitting, saying the role player had "old-fashioned, darkly handsome matinee idol looks".[133]

With Brosnan, the Bond writers knew that considering of the changes in public attitudes, he could non be as overtly sexual and dominant over women as Connery'due south Bond, and was denounced by Thousand in GoldenEye equally a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Common cold War".[132] Brosnan was seen by many equally the quintessential James Bond in appearance and manner; displaying an air of coolness, elegance and a grace which fabricated him believable as an international playboy, if not purely as an assassin. John 1000. Stackhouse, for instance, argues that it is preposterous that any man as strikingly handsome every bit Brosnan, or Connery, could be a undercover amanuensis, proverb, "When Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan enters a room, everyone notices. Thus information technology is ridiculous to suppose that James Bail, looking like that, could be a secret amanuensis for longer than about 2 seconds".[134]

Brosnan'southward Bond was introduced in GoldenEye; James Chapman argues that the film works his portrayal of Bond into the history of the others in the series through the post-credits sequence use of the Aston Martin DB5, previously seen in Goldfinger and Thunderball, "thus immediately evoking the memory of [Sean] Connery".[135] Brosnan's characterisation of Bond was seen by Jeremy Black as being "closer to the Fleming novels than Moore ... yet he is as well lighter and less intense than Dalton".[136] Black also commented that the shift in character in the beginning three films reflected changing social opinions, with Bond not smoking.[137] Brosnan was articulate he wanted to change Bail's smoking habit, maxim "I don't give a damn about everyone's perception of the character: I call back smoking causes cancer therefore he doesn't smoke",[129] although he did fume a Cuban cigar in Die Another 24-hour interval.[138] Brosnan continued with the utilize of humor prevalent with other portrayals,[139] and provided a "mix of activity and danger threaded through with the right amount of wit and humour";[140] Smith and Lavington saw the sense of humour largely as puns that were "brassy, but non crass".[141]

After four films in the function, Brosnan stated he wished to do one last Bail film. Although plans were made for a film to be released in 2004, negotiations stalled and Brosnan announced his intention to leave the franchise in July 2004.[142]

Daniel Craig: 2005–2021 [edit]

On 14 Oct 2005, Eon Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Sony Pictures Entertainment introduced at a press conference in London Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to portray Bond in the Eon serial.[143] A tuxedo- and lifejacket-clad Craig arrived via a Royal Navy speedboat.[144] Craig accepted the role based on the strength of the script for Casino Royale; he later recalled that "once I sat downward and read the story, I just thought that I wanted to tell [it] ... I'm a big Bond fan, and I love what he represents".[145] Significant controversy followed the decision, with some critics and fans expressing doubt the producers had made the correct choice. Throughout the unabridged production flow, Internet campaigns such equally danielcraigisnotbond.com expressed their dissatisfaction and threatened to boycott the film in protestation.[146] Craig, unlike previous actors, was not considered past the protesters to fit the alpine, dark, handsome and charismatic image of Bail to which viewers had been accustomed.[147] Many disparagingly called him "James Blonde", assertive the 5 ft 10 in (ane.78 1000) blond-haired, blue-eyed Craig far from the traditional tall, dark and suave actors who had earlier portrayed him. The Daily Mirror ran a front-page news story disquisitional of Craig, with the headline, The Name's Banal – James Bland.[148]

Craig commencement played Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale, an adaptation of Fleming's novel of the aforementioned proper noun and a reboot of the Eon series,[149] which saw Bail earn his 00 condition.[150] Despite the negative press on his appointment, Craig was widely praised by critics and one-time Bonds after the release of the motion-picture show, many of whom believed he was the first actor to truly nail the character as portrayed by Fleming. Todd McCarthy, reviewing the moving-picture show for Variety, considered that "Craig comes closer to the author's original conception of this exceptionally long-lived male fantasy figure than anyone since early Sean Connery",[151] and he went on to say that "Craig once and for all claims the grapheme every bit his own".[151] Steven Spielberg, who had directed Craig in the 2005 picture Munich, called him "the perfect 21st-century Bond".[152] Paul Arendt, writing for the BBC, agreed, observing that "Daniel Craig is not a good Bond. He's a great Bond. Specifically, he is 007 as conceived by Ian Fleming—a professional killing machine, a charming, cold-hearted patriot with a taste for luxury. Craig is the first actor to really nail 007's defining characteristic: he's an absolute swine".[153] James Chapman commented on the realism and violence in the pic, noting that Bond is seen to seriously drain for the first time in the series; Chapman too identified a number of violent scenes which make Casino Royale notable in the series.[154] In 2012 Skyfall was released; it was Craig'south third outing as 007. Reviewing the movie, Philip French, writing in The Observer, considered that Craig managed to "get out of the shadow of Connery",[155] while the New Statesman thought that he had "relaxed into Bond without losing whatsoever steeliness".[156]

  1. ^ The cigarettes Bond smoked were the same as Fleming's, who had been buying his at Morland of Grosvenor Street since the 1930s; the three aureate bands on the filter were added during the war to mirror his naval Commander's rank.[7] Fleming himself smoked up to 80 cigarettes a day.[8]
  2. ^ Fleming later adjusted the background of the literary character in Yous Only Live Twice to have a Scottish heritage,[23] [24] although Fleming himself was part-Scottish. Correspondence dating back to 1960 shows that Fleming contacted a Scottish nobleman to aid research Bond's family history, in particular seeking a Scottish Bond line.[25]
  3. ^ Afterwards both sides agreed to the deal, Connery used the fee to found the Scottish International Teaching Trust, where Scottish artists could apply for funding without having to get out their country to pursue their careers. Given that John Gavin, who had been signed to play Bail, was no longer required, Broccoli insisted that he be paid in total. The first moving-picture show fabricated nether Connery's deal was The Offence, directed by his friend Sidney Lumet. The second was to be an accommodation of Macbeth by William Shakespeare using only Scottish actors and in which Connery himself would play the title role. This projection was abandoned because another production of Macbeth (the Roman Polanski version) was already in production.[38]
  4. ^ Balio sets Connery's compensation for Dr. No at $154,000: $54,000 as salary and $100,000 equally a bonus.[49]
  5. ^ Balio claims Connery was paid a straight 12.v% of the gross. Diamonds Are Forever grossed $42 1000000, and then Connery received over $5 million, from which he gave $1.25 million to the Scottish International Education Trust.[50]
