Take a deep dive into the rich and complex history of Thunderball, the self-crowned ‘biggest Bond of all.’ Synonymous with ‘Bondmania’, the film’s preproduction has a long, tangled history and lasting consequences for the franchise. In this issue we revisit the drafting with an insightful look back at the various script revisions before Thunderball went into production, test the waters of the censor’s sensibilities and host a rarely seen suite of retrospective interviews with the principal cast and crew.
