Brian Cox To Appear In 007’s Road to a Million
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 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.
