007 Drink: Unnamed Scotch Whisky

Drink: Unnamed Scotch Whisky
Bond book appearance: Live and Let Die, Tomorrow Never Dies
Experience of 007 Travelers: @ home

Scotch whisky, often simply called Scotch, is malt whisky or grain whisky made in Scotland. Scotch whisky must be made in a manner specified by law.

"Tanner poured three glasses of Scotch from a crystal decanter as M pressed a button. A panel next to Bond slid back, revealing a sophisticated communications board. She pressed another button and the privacy panel behind Bond’s head slid down, revealing Miss Moneypenny, sitting next to the driver. She was equipped with telephones and a laptop computer. Not only did M have a travelling office, Moneypenny had a travelling outer office.
“Evening, James,” Moneypenny said. Her red hair glistened in the sunlight.
“Evening, Moneypenny,” Bond said. He lifted his glass."

007 Video game: Tomorrow Never Dies (1999)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: Tomorrow Never Dies
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 1999
DEVELOPER: Black Ops Entertainment
PLATFORM(S): PlayStation
BOND LIKENESS: Pierce Brosnan

ABOUT

This game marks the fourth appearance of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond, although the voice of Bond is provided by actor Adam Blackwood in the game.

Tomorrow Never Diescame on the heels of GoldenEye (video game), often hailed as one of the best first-person shooters for a console. After the success of GoldenEye 007, the James Bond licence was picked up by Electronic Arts. Tomorrow Never Dies broke away from the gameplay that made GoldenEye 007 a success by choosing to make a third-person shooter and by leaving out a multiplayer portion of the game. The game was met with only average reviews. After this title, a third-person shooter based on the James Bond franchise wouldn't be attempted again until 2004 with Everything or Nothing.

007 Soundtrack: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

FILM: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
SOUNDTRACK RELEASED: 1997
SCORE COMPOSER: David Arnold
TITLE SONG: "Tomorrow Never Dies"
COMPOSED BY: Sheryl Crow, Mitchell Froom
PERFORMED BY: Sheryl Crow

Tomorrow Never Dies is the soundtrack of the 18th James Bond film of the same name.
David Arnold composed the score of Tomorrow Never Dies, his first full Bond soundtrack. Arnold came to the producer's attention due to his successful cover interpretations in Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project—which featured major artists performing classic James Bond title songs.

The theme tune was chosen through a competitive process. There were approximately twelve submissions; including songs from Swan Lee, Pulp, Saint Etienne, Marc Almond, Sheryl Crow, and David Arnold. Arnold's entry—Tomorrow Never Dies, sung by k.d. lang—a bold, brassy number in the classic John Barry/Shirley Bassey vein, was chosen as the official theme song, and Arnold heavily incorporated elements of the song throughout the film's score. However, similar to the last-minute theme song switch that occurred with Thunderball three decades earlier, shortly before the film's release, the producers replaced Arnold and lang's theme with Sheryl Crow's, as Crow was a much bigger name at the time; Arnold's theme was re-titled Surrender and moved to the end credits.

007 Book: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

Bond book: Tomorrow Never Dies
Author: Raymond Benson
Publication year: 1997

Tomorrow Never Dies was the first of three Bond films to be adapted into books by then-current Bond novelist, Raymond Benson. Benson's version of Bruce Feirstein's screenplay is suitably expanded, and includes some nods to past Bond films, including the suggestion that Bond was lying when he said he had taken a course in Oriental languages in the movie You Only Live Twice.

The book is styled more after Fleming's novels as opposed to the film with detailed backstories given to characters such as Elliot Carver, Stamper and Paris Carver, missing from the film, which gave the characters more depth.
