Roy Taylor, whose stunt credits include the latest Bond film SPECTRE, has directed a film called The Man Who Flew To Earth about stunt performer Gary Connery's ambitious stunt to leap from a helicopter and land without a parachute.

The film is dedicated to the memory of Mark Sutton, who doubled for James Bond during the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London when he parachuted from a helicopter into the stadium. Sadly, Mark lost his life in an accident in the Chamonix Mountains last year.

The film is in the can, but the post production costs are being crowdfunded via Kickstarter, with some rather fun rewards on offer. One of which is a track day with former Stig, Ben Collins, who has doubled Bond on a number of driving sequences.

Additionally, there is the opportunity to have dinner at BAFTA with stunt doubles who have worked on the Bond films.

There's only a few days left to help fund this film, so if you are interested in making a pledge, now is the time!

Check out the details of the Kickstarter rewards here.


Just for fun, here is Roy Taylor with Mr. Hinx's stunt double on the set of SPECTRE singing a song from Frozen.
