EON Productions and Prime Video have revealed that Brian Cox has been cast as “The Controller”, the enigmatic character who controls the fate of the contestants in 007’s Road To A Million.
007’s Road to a Million will see contestants competing in a global adventure to win the ultimate prize of up to £1 million. Filmed in many iconic Bond locations, including the Scottish Highlands, Venice and Jamaica, this cinematic format will be a true test of intelligence, endurance, and heroism. In addition to conquering obstacles, the contestants, who will compete in two-person teams, must correctly answer questions hidden in the different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge.
“The Controller” is villainous and cultured, and revels in the increasingly difficult journeys and questions the contestants must overcome. He has millions of pounds to give away — up to £1 million per couple — but he doesn’t make it easy. Whilst he lurks in the shadows, he is watching and controlling everything.
Brian Cox said, “I got to see how ordinary people would cope with being on a James Bond adventure. As they travel the world to some of the most iconic Bond locations, it gets more intense and nail-biting. I enjoyed my role as both villain and tormentor, with license to put the hopeful participants through the mangle.”
007’s Road to a Million will launch exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories later this year.
