Revision as of 23:03, 23 April 2004 by H1523702 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Tomorrow Never Dies is a 1997 film, the eighteenth of the "Broccoli" James Bond films and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as Bond. Also starring are Jonathan Pryce as villain Elliot Carver, Judi Dench as "M" and Teri Hatcher and Michelle Yeoh as Bond girls Paris Carver and Wai Lin. Tomorrow Never Dies was at its release the most successful in the series' history.
Summary
Evil media mogul Elliot Carver tries to start a war between the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom to promote his world-wide television network. Bond is, as always, out to stop him, which he attempts through seducing Carver's wife, Paris Carver. Meanwhile, Bond is both rivaled and assisted by the Chinese secret agent Wai Lin. It has been suggested that the character of Elliot Carver is (very loosley) based on Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corporation exerts power across many continents. The script of Bruce Feirstein continues the Bond tradition of classic tongue-in-cheek lines.
Music
The film was scored by David Arnold, which was his first full Bond soundtrack. Arnold had been brought to the producer's attention following his successful Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project - which featured major artist peforming classic Bond title songs. The theme tune Tomorrow Never Dies was performed by Sheryl Crow and the end titles featured a "classic Bond" song, Surrender, sung by K.D. Lang.
