Pierce Brosnan's second appearance as the iconic secret agent had all the makings of a complete failure.
Tomorrow Never Dies was never going to have it easy. Two years before its 1997 release, audiences had been graced by the presence of GoldenEye, the seventeenth installment of the long-running James Bond franchise and the first to star Pierce Brosnan in the titular role. Even calling the film a triumph would be doing it a disservice.
Of course, it helped that there was always an obvious plot for Bond 18. The impending 1997 handover was destined to be a monumental time for the United Kingdom, marking the end of its 156-year rule of Hong Kong as it returned the sovereignty of the city to China. It was a turning point for both nations and one that Wilson and two generations of Broccoli couldn’t afford to pass up.
Why Was Filming 'Tomorrow Never Dies' a Nightmare? You’d hope that crisis would have been averted by the time cameras were rolling, but even ignoring the continually morphing script, problems were rife. When principal photography began in April for the film’s pre-title action sequence, there were little over 250 days left until it was set to premiere at The Odeon Theatre in Leicester Square, London – not exactly desirable.
