All six James Bonds are returning to the big screen.
Regal announced Thursday a six-film James Bond series running October 5 through November 9, with one movie from each of the six actors who have played 007. A different film screens each week, exclusively at Regal theaters.
Tickets are not on sale yet. Regal says they are coming soon.
The series opens October 5 with the 20th anniversary re-release of Casino Royale, which was already announced for a worldwide theatrical run earlier this month. October 5 is also International Bond Day, the anniversary of Dr. No‘s world premiere in 1962.
Every Bond Actor Gets One Movie
Here is the full schedule:
- October 5: Casino Royale (20th Anniversary), Daniel Craig
- October 12: GoldenEye, Pierce Brosnan
- October 19: Licence to Kill, Timothy Dalton
- October 26: The Spy Who Loved Me, Roger Moore
- November 2: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, George Lazenby
- November 9: Goldfinger, Sean Connery
The lineup runs backward through Bond history. It starts with the newest Bond and works back one actor at a time, ending with Sean Connery’s Goldfinger.
Regal calls it “a film series that’s shaken, not stirred.”
Six Bonds Return While Amazon Casts The Seventh
The series lands in the middle of the next Bond casting watch.
Per Puck News’ Matt Belloni, screen tests for the next Bond are happening this fall, with test deals already going out. Gary Oldman says the choice has already been made but not announced.
Producer Amy Pascal has said a casting announcement by the end of the year is “a good bet.”
The next Bond movie has Denis Villeneuve directing from a Steven Knight script, targeting 2028.
So while Amazon MGM settles on the seventh Bond, the first six are back on the big screen every week.
By the time Goldfinger wraps the series on November 9, the next Bond may already have a name.
