James Bond Bullet and Storyboards

Here’s two nice pieces of Pierce Brosnan starring Bond memorabilia. The first is a reproduction of storyboards, used in the production of his 1997 “Tomorrow Never Dies” where Bond must stop a Rupert Murdock media mogul, Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce, “Pirates of the Caribbean”) from starting a war between China and the UK so that he could control the global media. In one of the best scenes, Bond, in one of his trademark escapes, turns his car into a kind of “K.I.T.T.”, and Bond becomes his own “Michael Knight”, when, in a parking garage he activates the car via his cell phone, jumps into the rear window and drives the car from the back seat. These are five reproductions of storyboards from the garage sequence, that came from the production company. The second item is a bullet casing from shots fired by Bond in “Die Another Day” (2002) during a chase in one of the most unusual locations in a Bond film, a recreation of the real-life Ice Hotel in Jukkasjavi, Kirua, Sweden. This film has enormous sentimental value to Bond fans, since it was the last film with Brosnan as Bond. Many fans believe that next to the great Sean Connery, Brosnan was, and is, the best actor to play Bond. The storyboards have staple marks on the upper right hand corner, and production pencil numberings on the lower right corner.
