A concept trailer for an abandoned Lego James Bond game has leaked online, and is currently being chased around by lawyers in a game of copyright whack-a-mole. The minute-long trailer, first shared on X but now mirrored across various platforms and easily findable, shows a selection of the different Bonds and recreations of some iconic and not-so-iconic scenes, such as when Roger Moore's stunt double danced across some crocodiles in Live and Let Die.
The Bond series is in one sense a fantastic fit for how Traveller's Tales approached the later Lego games. It has such a rich history, so many great characters and gadgets, and endless opportunities for big set-piece recreations. On the other hand, James Bond is most definitely adult entertainment: Each film features dozens of nameless goons being gunned down in the name of England and, depending on the entry, veers from knowingly salacious to outright smut. It's hard to imagine Lego ever signing off on a Lego version of Bond girl Honey Ryder, who emerges from the sea in a bikini in Dr. No (featured in this trailer), nevermind the likes of Pussy Galore.
