Sniper Mission Preview
As part of their "Directors Cut" ethos, EA will be breathing
new life into the classic movie scenes from the 1963 film "From
Russia With Love" for their latest 007 videogame.
One of the most memorable scenes from the
movie is when 007 lends his shoulder for Kerim Bey's gun
so he can steady his aim as he assassinates Krilencu.
Movie Scene
A night after the gypsy camp fight, James Bond heads off with Kerim
Bey to settle the score with Krilencu. They track him to a room
in a hotel behind a giant facade advertising the Bob Hope / Anita
Ekberg movie "Call Me Bwana". Bey uses Bond's folding
sniper's rifle to shoot Krilencu through the window of his room
which is conveniently placed in Ekberg's mouth!
The videogame mission will be expanded with 007 in action against
goons scattered throughout the streets and terraces.
Concept Video
Before any code is written or 3D models rendered, pre-production
artists and game designs develop concepts and the visual
style of the adventure.
Development of "From Russia With Love"
will take place at EA Redwood studios (USA) and will ship
in 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.
