Philip Jones



"As requested, it's full of bugs, which means people will be forced to upgrade for years."

- Jones to Carver.

Philip Jones is a minor antagonist of the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. He is a high ranking executive of the Carver Media Group Network working for Elliot Carver.

He was portrayed by Rolf Saxon.

Role
Being a close supporter of Carver, Jones was tasked to arrange and report any news of havoc that would earn lots of ratings. He informed Carver that he got all of Carver's new software to be filled with bugs that will force people to pay for upgrades for years, much to Carver's delight. Along with the other executives, Jones was told of Carver's next intent of raising attention of an imminent war between England and China, thanks to Stamper and Captain Scott commandeering a stealth ship to sink a British frigate and frame the Chinese Air Force for it.

However, this wasn't the case when James Bond and Wai Lin foiled Carver's next move of sending a stolen British missile into Beijing, destroying the stealth ship and killing Carver and his crew in the process. It is unknown what happened to Jones and the other executives, though it can be implied that they may have lost their jobs and get arrested for their involvement in Carver's plot.
