Hey folks, here's a report on a part that has already been filmed for BOND 19, with the help of the BBC. Sounds pretty cool...
Yo Harry,
Withnail here over in the UK.
Have got a small BOND film snippet for you which will be of special interest to British fans.
Some filming was done over at the BBC main studios last week for The World Is Not Enough.
It was for a scene where 007 is searching through the MI6 archives for information on Electra.
He comes across a short TV Newsreport from 1987, and it's a Newsflash read by the real life highly repsected, veteran BBC News anchor Martyn Lewis.
The newsreport says:
"We're getting reports that the Electra King kidnap ordeal is over. The Cyprus authorities say she has escaped after shooting dead two of her captors - and is 'as well as can be expected' after her six week ordeal. Her father, the Industrialist Sir Robert King, is believed to be on his way to Cyprus to be reunited with his daughter"
The info came to me from a friend who's been involved in pre-production on the movie.
It's a nice touch getting Martyn Lewis to present the archive news report as he's one of the most long standing BBC presenters around. Apparently they even asked the BBC to reconstruct the studio from the mid 1980s to make it all look as authentic as possible.
Hope this helps throw some background on Electra's character.
