Portsmouth Vue Cinema to screen classic James Bond films as part of 60th anniversary celebrations

All 25 Bond films from 1962's Dr No to 2021's No Time To Die will be shown in 4K quality, in chronological order, at Vue Cinemas across the country, beginning this Friday.

Each week will then see another instalment in the franchise return to the big screen, concluding in September with Daniel Craig’s final outing as the super-spy.

Portsmouth Vue is currently advertising the running starting with the Sean Connery classic From Russia With Love, originally released in 1963.

Eduardo Leal, group regional director of screen content at Vue Entertainment, said: ‘Following the incredible success of No Time To Die last year, we’re excited to
