Redwood City, CA (July 19, 2002) - Electronic Arts announced today
that it has reached an agreement with Pierce Brosnan to use the Bond actor's
likeness in their upcoming video game, James Bond 007: NightFire. The game,
which uses an original storyline created exclusively for the interactive
project, is based on the Bond universe and will be released worldwide the same
month as the newest 007 film starring Brosnan, "Die Another Day" produced by
Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. NightFire is currently under development
and is scheduled for a simultaneous release on the PlayStation 2 , Xbox,
Nintendo GameCube, and PC-CD.
"Pierce Brosnan and Bond have created an unbeatable combination for the
franchise over the past few years, so we're excited to have Pierce aboard to
help deliver to fans the ultimate Bond experience," says Chip Lange, VP of
Electronic Arts marketing. "I am confident that together, Pierce Brosnan, EA and
NightFire will make for the most dynamic and appealing Bond game yet."
Neil Haldar, Vice President of Production and Business Development for MGM
Interactive, observes, "We welcome this fantastic opportunity to collaborate
with Brosnan, who so masterfully personifies James Bond, and to re-team with a
great partner like Electronic Arts on Nightfire to deliver the finest
integration of creativity and technology to date."
From EA:
NightFire promises to stay true to the tradition of the James Bond property.
The game will feature more than 10 stunning exotic locations from around the
globe and outer space, as well as offer an all-star cast of villains and allies,
including sexy Bond women, both new and familiar to the 007 universe. Each of
the mission levels will offer enormous, highly detailed 3D environments that can
only be experienced through the eyes of Bond.
