"Bond, James Bond." Since Sean Connery uttered those immortal words in
1962, the most dashing secret agent in the history of cinema has been
charming and thrilling audiences worldwide. This impeccably British
character created by author Ian Fleming has starred in 25 EON-produced
films, played by six different actors over five decades.
EON Productions opened their archives of photos, designs, storyboards,
and production materials to editor Paul Duncan, who spent two years
researching over one million images and 100 filing cabinets of
documentation. The result is the most complete account of the making of
the series, covering every James Bond film ever made, beginning with Dr.
No (1962) and ending with No Time To Die (2021), including the spoof
Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983).
The wealth of previously unpublished photography, set designs,
storyboards, and production memos is supplemented by an oral history
recounted by over 150 cast and crew. From producers to stuntmen,
directors to production designers, these personal narratives relate the
true inside story from the Bond sets, offering outstanding insight into
the personalities and processes behind the most successful and
longest-running film franchise in cinema history. This book is a
comprehensive tribute to the legend of James Bond.
The updated edition includes exclusive photography and new interviews
with Daniel Craig, director Cary Fukunaga, producers Michael G. Wilson
and Barbara Broccoli, and many others, revealing the full story behind
the making of the emotionally charged No Time To Die.
