Description

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley tackle more filmmakers, characters and topics from the letter E.

In this show you'll learn about:

The Eady Levy, a lucrative tax break for British-made films that ensured the James Bond films were made in the UK forever more.

How Idris Elba, the British actor perennially linked with being the next 007, was originally connected to the role.

Robert Elswit, the acclaimed cinematographer who lensed 'Tomorrow Never Dies' before going on to be Paul Thomas Anderson's most trust collaborator.

Eon Productions, the film company set up by Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to produce the Bond films, and still does.

'Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007', the 2012 documentary that features incredible interviews with the key creatives behind the Bond films.

And 'James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing', the James Bond video game that featured the last ever performance of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

James Bond will return... in next week's James Bond's A-Z Podcast.

Hosted by lifelong James Bond fans – film journalist Tom Butler, journalist Tom Wheatley, and improviser Brendan Duffy – The James Bond A-Z Podcast is an encyclopaedic introduction to the people behind the world’s greatest spy film franchise. Going from A-Z, each episode covers the key creatives and characters from every James Bond film from 1962’s 'Dr No' to 2021’s 'No Time To Die', talking about Ken Adam to Max Zorin, and everything in-between (and yes, that includes 'Never Say Never Again'). The show shines a light on every aspect of the filmmaking process answering many of the questions you always wanted to ask about the 007 films, and we are occasionally joined by guests who offer a unique perspective on the films.
