Following on from fiftieth anniversary screenings in Nottingham, Adelaide, Calgary, the Florida Film Festival, Edinburgh’s famed Cameo Cinema, at the Egyptian in Hollywood and Norway already in 2014, many other global cinema-spots are getting out the gold paint to mark the golden anniversary of the classic 007 blueprint, Goldfinger with their own special screenings.
PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT AND SOME OTHERS HAVE NOW PASSED.
Marking the first time a restored vintae Bond film has been screened in this style in Norway, organizers Morten Steingrimsen and Anders Frejdh are pleased to announce that the film’s production designer Ken Adam (countless iconic Bond films as well as Dr Strangelove, The Madness of King George, Barry Lyndon) and his biographer Sir Christopher Frayling (Ken Adam Designs The Movies). This is the first time Adam has come to Oslo in this context and organisers are justly excited. Joining Adam and Frayling will also be Norman Wanstall (Oscar winning sound designer on Goldfinger) and Margaret Nolan (Bond’s first girl, Dink and title sequence star) will also be in attendance. Adam, Wanstall and Nolan will participate in a Q&A following the screening. The British Ambassador in Norway, Ms. Jane Owen, will also be in attendance to open the festivities.
‘Forventer du at jeg skal snakke?’
‘Nei, Mr Bond, jeg forventer at du skal dø!’
The May 22nd screening and Q&A will be a closed and exclusive event for 292 invited guests. The film will be shown with a newly restored version and all manner of 007 accoutrements will fill the evening in apt style.
A public screening will follow on May 23th – with Norman Wanstall and Margaret Nolan also in attendance.
