Join the iconic missions of Agent 007, meticulously charted on an epic worldwide journey.
With over 200 stunning photographs, exclusive new interviews with the Bond filmmakers and detailed maps, Darker than the Sun will transport you to the very places where the action unfolds. Immerse yourself in the allure of the settings, with images capturing both the real-life locations and behind-the-scenes shots from the film sets. Each movie is accompanied by a global locator map charting Bond’s mission and a detailed feature map that brings key 007 destinations to life.
While every one of the 25 official James Bond movies has been a globe-hopping adventure, more often than not, the filmmakers filmed here in the UK, which doubled some of the most surprising worldwide locales. Beginning in the 1960s, the Scottish Highlands doubled for the Balkans in From Russia With Love (1963), while RAF Northolt, with the help of a few palm trees, was transformed into a convincing South American banana republic for Octopussy (1983).
Some of the most surprising locations include Hollywell Beach in Cornwall which became the North Korean coastline in Die Another Day (2002), and Black Park in Buckinghamshire, which was transformed into a Ugandan jungle in Casino Royale (2006).
This book makes a perfect Christmas gift for any James Bond fan.
