{"product_id":"james-bond-art-prints-of-movie-plot-gift-for-fans","title":"James Bond Movie Character Lines Tube Map Art Print","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhy does this James Bond film map art make a gift that fans keep?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gift for James Bond fans who assume the most familiar face in the franchise is Bond himself, because this maps all twenty-five Eon films, and the longest unbroken line belongs to Q. They own the box set already. Six men have played Bond, and one man played Q for thirty-six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI drew this one so that each recurring character runs as their own line, calling at every film they appear in, in the style of a classic London Underground map. The stations run chronologically from Dr. No (1962) to No Time to Die (2021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Bond prints are one poster, one film, one actor. This is the only way I know to see sixty years of the franchise as a single shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interesting lines are not the ones you expect. The full story on your wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacters and actors on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBond's own line runs the full width, changing hands six times along it, from Sean Connery through George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesmond Llewelyn has the longest continuous line of any actor on the print. He plays Q across seventeen films, from From Russia with Love in 1963 to The World Is Not Enough in 1999, missing only Live and Let Die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLois Maxwell is close behind, playing Moneypenny in the first fourteen films from Dr. No through to A View to a Kill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM is the line that changes most. Bernard Lee holds it for the first eleven films, Robert Brown for four in the 1980s, and Judi Dench from GoldenEye onwards, which makes it three distinct runs rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlofeld is drawn as a character line rather than an actor line because the role has been played by several actors over the decades. The Aston Martin threads through as a recurring detail in its own right, from its arrival in Goldfinger to the Craig films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
