On Wednesday, Guy Hamilton, the director of four James Bond films, died at the age of 93. He passed away at a hospital on the Spanish island of Majorca, where he lived.
The British filmmaker will be best remembered for directing two of Sean Connery's Bond films, Goldfinger (1964) and Diamonds are Forever (1971), as well as two of Roger Moore's Bond films, Live and Let Die (1973) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).
"We mourn the loss of our dear friend Guy Hamilton who firmly distilled the Bond formula in his much celebrated direction of Goldfinger and continued to entertain audiences with Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun," read a statement from Bond producers EON (via BBC). "We celebrate his enormous contribution to the Bond films."
Incredibly, incredibly saddened to hear the wonderful director Guy Hamilton has gone to the great cutting room in the sky. 2016 is horrid.

Aside from the Bond franchise, Hamilton directed Battle of Britain (1969), Force 10 From Navarone (1978), Evil Under the Sun (1982) and Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985).
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Hamilton's family and friends.
