'GoldenEye' is the first film in the James Bond series to star Pierce Brosnan.
In 1995 actor Pierce Brosnan took on the role of James Bond in the film 'GoldenEye'.
RTÉ News reporter Colm Connolly visited the set of the film at a disused motor car factory in Watford, England. Here he meets the new Bond star Pierce Brosnan who talks about his debut as James Bond. Desmond Llewelyn, who plays the part of Q, says the gadgets are synonymous with all Bond films.
