Alec is so well played by veteran Sean Bean, that you might find yourself rooting for the wrong side-he is every bit as good as Bond, but twice as bad, too. They couldn't have made a better choice.īrosnan is joined by two incredibly sexy women: Famke Janssen as the deliciously evil Xenia Onatopp (typically for a Bond woman, her character's surname is a double entendre you may recognize her as Jean Grey in the X-Men movies), and relative newcomer Izabella Scorupco as Natalya Simonova - Bond's female counterpart. When Timothy Dalton, star of the previous Bond flick, License to Kill (1986) decided to move on to other things, the movie execs knew just who they wanted-the debonair gentleman, Brosnan. Brosnan had long been sought for the role, but lost the chance in 1986, when NBC forced him to continue filming their own television action-thriller hit, Remington Steele. Made after a six-year hiatus, GoldenEye was the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the suave secret agent. Bond, as always, must prevail in the face of ever-increasing odds. In this episode, Bond is up against the incredibly sexy Xenia Onatopp ( Famke Janssen), and his own friend, Alec, seemingly back from the dead, as they attempt to steal the arming device for the super-secret weapons satellite, Goldeneye. Time has passed-nine years, to be exact-and Bond soon finds himself embroiled in the usual stew of secrets, sex, and super-spys. Although Bond manages to destroy the plant, he is forever haunted by the death of his colleague. Nine years earlier, Bond and his friend (and fellow agent) Alec Trevelyan ( Sean Bean), aka 006, are on assignment in Russia, attempting to destroy a nerve gas factory, when 006 is killed.
This time, 007 (aptly played by Pierce Brosnan) is an operative in Russia ( Arkhangelsk, in particular), after the Iron Curtain has fallen, trying to stop an evil scientist from his plan to use a secret satellite to destroy the human race. The 17th film about Ian Fleming's infamous super-spy, James Bond.
