MI6 Confidential, Moonraker, Roger Moore, special

Our friends at MI6 Confidential celebrates Moonraker (1979) with a limited-run 100-page perfect bound issue of the magazine brilliantly curated by From Sweden with Love reader Vipul Patel.

In an era when visual effects were decades away from a digital revolution, Moonraker emerged as one of the series most visually ambitious. It's visuals remained rooted in the mastery of practical effects, model work, and pioneering techniques that have since acquired a nostalgic patina of cinematic artistry.

For this, the seventh MI6 Confidential special, collector Thomas Nixdorf has kindly opened his archive of rare behind the scenes Moonraker photography, production concepts, and art. The majority of the unpublished photos presented herein are drawn from the original 1978/79 negatives. All of the stunning Special Edition magazines of MI6 Confidential have emphasised selecting rarer photos from their archives or from kind contributors, and this year they are taking that to the natural next step. For the first time, they have opted to present this amazing material in a landscape format to maximise the aspect ratio of the available imagery.
