I love both samantha barks and lea sologna as eponine so much like genuinely perfect casting but I will never be able to get frances ruffelle's "and I knowww it's only in my miiIIIND that iM TALKING TO MYSYAlf and not to hiiiiiiiiim" out of my head like she sings the FUCK outta that line, her stylistic choices are so fantastic, she sounds so anguished and young, I can't get over it
Goldeneye was released on November 17, 1995. Goldeneye was the 17th EON James Bond film and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as 007. Brosnan was originally picked to star as Bond in The Living Daylights (1987), but at the last minute was prevented due to contractual obligations to Remington Steele. Goldeneye was meant to be Timothy Dalton's 3rd Bond film but the production got held up for years due to legal problems. Dalton finally gave up waiting and the role once again was offered to Brosnan. It was the first EON Bond film not produced by Albert R Broccoli. Besides, recasting Bond, Judi Dench took over as M and Samantha Bond as Moneypenny with Desmond Llewelyn being the only returning cast member in his long running performance as Q. It was only the second EON Bond film (the first being Licence to Kill -1989) to not be named after an Ian Fleming book (Goldeneye was the name of the house where Fleming wrote the Bond books in Jamaica) and the plot wasn't based on any of his books either. It also marked the first EON Bond film to use CGI. In a plot twist, Sean Bean dies at the end. ("Goldeneye" Bond movie event)
