Moving on, now to Pierce Brendan Brosnan. who at last got his chance to be James Bond in 1995, with "Goldeneye".
He would make four James Bond films in all, the others being "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997 - as seen on this card), "The World is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002).
This time, he was allowed to work on other movies at the same time as being Bond. Possibly he had insisted that this be so, due to the ramifications over "Remington Steele".
This film is not from an Ian Fleming Story, it was adapted from a screenplay by Bruce Fierstein, and it revolved round a media-mogul with an eye on starting World War Three.
Today we think this could be possible, but at the time of release it was a bit too far fetched. After all, there were still seven years before the invention of Facebook, our computers were still running Windows 95, and Sky TV was celebrating its eighth birthday.
Now this card is a "promo", in other words, it was given away in order to promote the forthcoming set of cards. There are three of these in all.
The earliest is the rarest, as you could only get that by sending away for it, following the instructions in "Starlog" magazine. It is referred to as the "O" card, from the large letter on it. It shows James Bond running.
The second one was given away at fan conventions and card shows, and it shows James Bond in a suit. That is lettered "P1"
Our card is the third, lettered "P3". It advertises the film, which "releases this Christmas" and also "Look for Premium Movie Photo Cards...." There seems to be lots of opinions as to where this was given away, but the mention of the film leads many to think that they were available in cinemas. Maybe someone out there knows for sure?
