“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 the 25th film
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previously unpublished photography, set designs, storyboards, and production memos is supplemented by an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.
