Thirty years ago this November, a brand new James Bond took the world by storm and he was played by Pierce Brosnan. Only eight years after the former television star of "Remington Steele" was initially set to take on the role but then couldn't because of unexpected issues with his former network, a man who seemed born to play 007 was finally able to take on the role. And this time around, Bond had a new actress playing his boss M, none other than Oscar-winner Dame Judi Dench. Not only that, but also some promising new villains played by Sean Bean (Fellowship of the Ring, The Martian, Game of Thrones) and Famke Janssen (X-Men, Rounders). AND a brand new director from New Zealand who cut his teeth on British television, Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, Green Lantern, Casino Royale) helming his first big budget feature film for the first time. And everybody loved it? Let's head back to the mid '90's for the first post-Cold War reboot of one of the most enduring franchises in cinema history.....
