Reunion With Death was a cancelled James Bond film, which would have starred Timothy Dalton as James Bond. It was written by Richard Smith in late 1993 and it would have been Dalton's fourth film, had he come back for GoldenEye. Smith had delivered to EON a 37-page plot entitled Reunion with Death dated December 1993.
As Dalton did not reprise his role as Bond, the script was left unused, but many aspects from the story have been used in later films such as Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough.
