October 5th 2024.
Attention all James Bond fans! Exciting news, as all 25 Bond films are now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. While we anxiously wait for the announcement of the next 007, we can now relive all the action and adventure in one convenient place.
The iconic spy franchise, based on the books by Ian Fleming, first hit the big screen back in 1962 with the debut of Dr. No, starring the legendary Sean Connery as the suave MI6 agent. Since then, we have seen six different actors take on the role of Bond, including Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig.
But with the future of Bond still uncertain, we can at least enjoy the entire collection from the very beginning with Dr. No, all the way to the latest film, No Time to Die released in 2021. However, while all 25 official Bond films from Eon Productions are included in the Amazon collection, there are two notable exceptions.
The first is the 1967 spy parody film, Casino Royale, which starred David Niven as the lead hero and was produced by Columbia Pictures. Despite its commercial success, the film received mixed reviews for its comedic tone and is considered the least popular Bond film. However, some die-hard fans still view it as an essential part of the Bond story.
The second missing film is the 1983 release Never Say Never Again, produced by Taliafilm and starring the original Bond himself, Sean Connery. This film marked Connery's return to the role after a 12-year hiatus and has been praised for its more understated take on the typical Bond formula.
Both Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again have been omitted from previous Bond boxsets released by Warner Bros. over the years. But now, thanks to Amazon Prime, we can enjoy all the films on one platform. And what better time to do so than on October 5th, recognized as James Bond Day worldwide.
As we eagerly await the next Bond announcement, speculation is running wild about who will take on the iconic role next. With names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton, Henry Cavill, and Rege Jean Page being thrown into the mix, it's anyone's guess who will be the next 007.
One thing is for sure, director Sam Mendes, who previously helmed Skyfall and Spectre, will not be returning to the franchise. In a recent interview, he stated that he doubts he will be back due to the studio's desire for younger, more controllable directors.
But let's not dwell on the future just yet. For now, let's sit back, relax, and enjoy all 25 James Bond films on Amazon Prime Video. And if you have any celebrity stories or photos to share, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you.
