issue 54, volume 14, august 2020

As the filmmaking world comes to terms with developing, shooting and marketing mass entertainment in an uncertain COVID environment, we cast our attention back at sunnier times.

In this issue we talk exclusively with Moore-era art director John Fenner and Craig-era construction manager Steve Bohan about some of the magnificent sets they designed and built. We also host a candid conversation with the inventor of a suite of Bond RPGs — in an era before videogames took hold, Bond licensees rolled the dice on an alternate form of entertainment.
