Leaked Trailer Reveals Canceled Lego James Bond Game Concept
The 2016 pitch for a Lego James Bond game was rejected due to concerns over the franchise's mature themes clashing with Lego's family-friendly image.
- A 47-second trailer for a canceled Lego James Bond game, created by TT Games in 2016, recently surfaced online before being removed from platforms like YouTube and Reddit.
- The trailer featured iconic James Bond moments recreated with Lego's signature humor, including scenes from films like Casino Royale and Goldfinger, and multiple Lego versions of Bond actors such as Daniel Craig and Sean Connery.
- The Lego Group rejected the pitch, citing concerns about the franchise's violence and sexual innuendo conflicting with its family-friendly brand identity.
- The project was initially pitched as a standalone game but has also been linked to the development of Lego Dimensions, where it was reportedly replaced by a Mission Impossible level pack.
- Fans have expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity, though some hope the concept could be revisited as Lego explores adaptations of mature properties like Horizon Zero Dawn.
