BELOW: ABOVE: BEHIND-THE-SCENES: NEW AND RETURNING FACES - In addition to its diverse international cast, GoldenEye (1995) was produced by an equally talented crew – most of whom had worked on earlier films in the Bond series. (1) Director Martin Campbell would return to the franchise with Casino Royale in 2006, and introduced the sixth James Bond, Daniel Craig. (2) Martin Campbell's regular cinematographer Phil Méheux [pictured far right holding light meter] also returned as Director of Photography on Casino Royale (2006). (3) Peter Lamont [photographed on the backlot at Leavesden Studios during filming of the St. Petersburg Tank chase] joined the series as a draughtsman on Goldfinger (1964), and progressed to become the James Bond series’ regular Production Designer with For You Eyes Only (1981) - ending his Bond career with Casino Royale (2006). (4) Barbara Broccoli [pictured left with Pierce Brosnan] joined her half-brother Michael G. Wilson [pictured right] as Co-Producer of the James Bond films with GoldenEye (1995). (5) Miniature Effects Supervisor Derek Meddings [pictured right] joined the series with Live And Let Die (1973) and worked on the next five James Bond films, returning on GoldenEye (1995) which would be his final film. He died on September 10, 1995, two months before the release of GoldenEye (1995) which is dedicated to his memory. (6) Stuntman Wayne Michaels [left] performed the spectacular bungee jump off the Contra Dam in Switzerland for the pre-credit sequence of GoldenEye (1995). Simon Crane had joined the series as a stuntman on A View To A Kill (1985) and was overall Stunt Co-ordinator for GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough (1999). Both Wayne Michaels and Simon Crane also appear [uncredited] in GoldenEye (1995) as the two Tiger Helicopter Pilots killed by Xenia Onatopp in Monaco as she steals their aircraft.
