Based upon: This is the 19th official entry in the long-running James Bond series.

Warhead 2000?: Sony has been trying to start up their own James Bond franchise for a while (to compete with long-time Bond studio MGM), with the title Warhead 2000 bandied about for a while. Well, Bond fans, consider this: this new Bond movie from MGM involves a nuclear warhead, and will probably still be playing in theaters in the year 2000. Do you get it, wink wink?

Premise: If the movie is indeed the story of The World is Not Enough (it is), then this time Mr. Bond (Brosnan) will be bodyguarding the daughter (Richards) of a slain diplomat, while trying to catch his killer (Carlyle), in a hunt which in Bond tradition takes him all around the world.
