"Becoming Bond will be available on Hulu on May 20".
Huge fan of OHMSS and GL here.
I agree, even Peter Sellers said making that movie would be a good movie in itself. Probably the most chaotic film production ever (aside from Apoclypse Now)
Me too, I'll be dissapointed if it isn't.
I certainly hope it's good enough for me to do the same. Looking forward to this one. On a quasi-related note, when are they going to release Everything or Nothing for sale in the States already?
It's been out for a while. I saw the DVD at Best Buy over a year ago.
In the US?
Yes, surprisingly.
Good to know, but after picking up Bond 50 (for which I really do like the packaging design) there's no way I'm buying the whole series all over again. I had thought at the time that that was a really big oversight of them not to include EoN, but I'm glad they've fixed that moving forward.
Wow, that's good to know too. I have never found it here, and I actually have looked. Do you know has it ever been released on Blu-Ray?
And if anyone knows of a reputable online source selling the Region A Everything or Nothing, please do let me know!
Allegedly Sellers was a twat. His attitude was half the problem.
That's how the story goes. Sellers rarely showed up to do his scenes, and when he did, he played it how he wanted to play it, which interfered with the whole spoof angle they were aiming for. He was constantly chasing around Britt Ekland, shot a blank from a gun directly into one of the actresses face, and most of all, the infamous fued with Orsen Welles. What didn't help the film was the lack of a coherent story, after all we're talking about a movie with 5 directors.
Tend to watch the start then get bored with it.
I clearly need to look into this film more. @007ClassicBondFan, what was the spat with Welles about?

Yes. That's what I meant. He also saw himself (apparently) as a serious Bond.....deluded. Neither the looks nor the acting ability.
The looks yes, but then again, is isn't like Daniel Craig is a best looking out of the bunch. As far as acting territory, Sellers at this point in his career was looking to sort of change his image, and wanted to do more serious roles. That didn't happen here, as legend goes he was either fired or walked off set
Exactly, Craig has the Sex Appeal, which is the most important thing when casting Bond. Sellers could've easily handled the one liners, but it's hard to see him be as cool a figure as Connerh, Brosnan, Craig, or any of the others. That's what always interested me too, Sellers in a serious version of James Bond. It would be fascinating to watch.
George Lazenby is such an interesting character, it's impossible not to like him. I've always loved OHMSS, and was lucky enough to meet him several years ago at a convention. Very down to earth and happy to answer questions. Certainly not the arrogant and abrasive person he's sometimes made out to be. The trailer for Becoming Bond looks like it could be a lot of fun. At least Bond fans (well those who like George and OHMSS) have something to look forward too this year.
