“James Bond: To The End” is a feature-length adventure based on the James Bond film franchise.

I remember catching “Moonraker” on television in the ’80s, and it left quite an impression on me. I don’t think it’s exactly the pinnacle of the James Bond movie franchise or anything, but it was my first real exposure to Bond and so it’ll always hold a special place for me.

I’ve always been attracted to the world of espionage and spies. Something about the genre just really grabs my attention. And when he’s at the top of his game, few can do it better than James Bond.

The movies, of course, have been hit or miss. But there’s always some good in all of them. Some moments that are just purely… Bond. And that’s something I’ve very much tried to capture with “To The End”.

Unlike many of Pendant’s other projects, “To The End” is not ongoing. That is to say, it has a definite end. The project was envisioned (and written) as a “Bond film”. Of course we’re not fortunate enough to actually be shooting this as a movie, but I’ve tried very hard to maintain the general feel and atmosphere of the James Bond movie franchise. I want it to feel like “To The End” is just another chapter in the saga.

Of course, getting a “James Bond feel” was an interesting challenge for an audio-only format. To the best of my knowledge it’s not been done before, and so I wasn’t really sure quite how to go about it. I think it’s something of a new concept to Bond fans, too, as they’ve never had to separate the character from visuals before. There’s either the movies, where the visuals are given, or the novels, where the visuals are created in the reader’s head directly from the descriptions written out on the page.

But audio can’t just give written descriptions like a novel; not without a narrator, anyway. And a narrator would certainly break the “Bond feel” I was striving to attain.

Whether we’ve succeeded or not is for you to decide. But I sincerely hope you enjoy the ride along the way.
