Parents need to know that the film's violence and sexual content may make it unsuitable for younger or more sensitive kids.

Hoping to give his new cable news network a considerable ratings boost, power-mad media tycoon Elliot Carver Jonathan Pryce uses his expensive-looking Stealth boat to sink a British warship, then prepares to fire one of its nuclear warheads at China and start World War III.
As luck -- or the law of averages --would have it, Carver's wife Teri Hatcher is a former lover of James Bond Pierce Brosnan , who wastes no time renewing his acquaintance in order to gain information.
Carver's sudden death puts a damper on 's lead and sets her husband's men after him in full force. Luckily for Bond, Chinese agent Wai Lin Michelle Yeoh is also after Carver, and the two join forces to infiltrate his floating fortress and pull the plug on his media empire.
Pierce Brosnan is back in the driver's seat of a rocket-spewing BMW as dashing agent , out this time to stop a ratings-hungry media baron from instigating World War III. Michelle Yeoh adds plausible chemistry and spectacular stunts to this action-packed thriller full of wild chases and some very nifty spy gadgets. Bond seems most pleased with his fully loaded, remote-controlled BMW , a near-rival of his silver Aston Martin in Goldfinger.
A dramatic -- but not overzealous -- score puts Monty Norman's James Bond theme to good use. And Tomorrow Never Dies has something that the Bond movies have lacked since the cold war ended -- a worthy adversary. Not only does autocrat Elliot Carver like to create and write his own headlines as well as certain obituaries , but he's also got some very capable cronies.

Broccoli , who had previously been involved with the series' production since its beginning. As had been the case with several previous films in the series, an entirely original story was required as there remained no Ian Fleming novels or stories to adapt.
The scriptwriting process was finished very late due to lengthy disputes. Director Roger Spottiswoode claimed that MGM had a script in January revolving round Hong Kong's transfer of sovereignty to China ; however, this plot could not be used for a film opening at the end of the year, so they had to start "almost from scratch at T-minus zero!

He gathered seven Hollywood screenwriters in London to brainstorm, eventually choosing Nicholas Meyer to perform rewrites.
Wilson stated, "We didn't have a script that was ready to shoot on the first day of filming", while Pierce Brosnan said, "We had a script that was not functioning in certain areas. They also said that Jonathan Pryce and Teri Hatcher were unhappy with their new roles, causing further re-scripting. The title was inspired by the Beatles ' song " Tomorrow Never Knows ". But through an error this became Tomorrow Never Dies , a title which MGM found so attractive that they insisted on using.
Teri Hatcher was three months pregnant when shooting started, although her publicist stated the pregnancy did not affect the production schedule.
According to Brosnan, Monica Bellucci also screen tested for the role but as Brosnan remarked, "the fools said no. The role of Elliot Carver was initially offered to Anthony Hopkins who also had been offered a role in GoldenEye , but he rejected it.
Natasha Henstridge was rumoured as cast in the lead Bond Girl role, [17] but eventually, Yeoh was confirmed in that role. Brosnan was impressed, describing her as a "wonderful actress" who was "serious and committed about her work".
Saying, "I'm big, I'm bad, and I'm German", he did it in five. Second unit filming began on 18 January with Vic Armstrong directing; they filmed the pre-credits sequence at Peyresourde Airport in the French Pyrenees , and moved on to Portsmouth to film the scenes where the Royal Navy prepares to engage the Chinese.
They were unable to use the Leavesden Film Studios , which they had constructed from an abandoned Rolls-Royce factory for GoldenEye , as George Lucas was using it for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace , so instead they constructed sound stages in another derelict industrial site nearby. They also used the Stage at Pinewood Studios. The scene at the "U. This was later rescinded, two months after planning had begun, forcing filming to move to Bangkok , Thailand.
