MI6 World Exclusive
As part of their "Directors Cut" ethos, EA will
be bringing the classic Aston Martin DB5 forward from the
movie timeline to include it in the videogame version of
"From Russia With Love".
These new screenshots show the DB5 in action for the first
time as James Bond and Kerim Bey drive from the airport,
through the countryside, to the city of Istanbul.
Along the way they encounter some hostile locals, and 007
must battle his way to his final destination.
Above: James Bond and Kerim Bey speeds
towards the city in the Aston Martin DB5.
With the new game engine, players will be able to step out of the
car at any point - with no loading screens - and explore the environment
in a much more open way than even before in a Bond game.
Above: M as he will appear in the
game.

Another first for a Bond game is the inclusion of the original
M, Sir Miles Messervy, played by the late Bernard
Lee.
Fleming's creation for James Bond's boss, with those "damnable
clear grey eyes", will be based in a classically designed
office reminiscent of M's adobe in the 60's movies.
MI6 will also feature Miss Moneypenny and a retro Q-Lab,
complete with Q in the likeness of Desmond Llewelyn.
Below is the first screenshot demonstrating the new laser
watch that 007 will be equipped with for his missions in
"From Russia With Love".

watch in the retro Q-Branch shooting gallery.

Development of "From Russia With Love"
will take place at EA Redwood studios (USA) and will ship
in October/November 2005 on Microsoft
Xbox, Sony PlayStation
2 and Nintendo
GameCube. Versions for Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are
yet to be officially confirmed.
Stay tuned to MI6 for the latest unrivalled coverage
of "From Russia With
Love" (VG) starring Sean Connery as James Bond
007.
