Does anyone know when the interviews were done? That'd be great if all the Bond actors agree to them and did them recently.
Craig, Dalton and Brosnan seem good enough, but Connery, Lazenby and Moore just look (I don't know), odd... or not themselves, whichever way you want to put it
I thought at first glance the first one was Burt Reynolds, the second looks absolutely nothing resembling George Lazenby and the third I honestly thought - was that great snooker player Steve Davis
8-| I'm sure it is a good read though
Lazenby looks the only one off to me. Brosnan is spot on. Note Moore's raised eyebrow.
Think I'll purchase this when it comes out. Hopefully it's at Barnes & Noble.
SC: They were exciting and funny, and had good stories and pretty girls and intriguing locations and a certain kind of style. And they didn't take anything for granted.
GL: There are a few moments where Bond's more vulnerable that I'm quite proud of. I was never one to walk away from a risk and this was the biggest professional one I ever had.
RM: As Spencer Tracy said, 'Say the lines and hit the marks.' As Lee Marvin said, 'Say the marks and hit the lines.' I carried somewhere in between.
TD: You do a Bond and it's bigger than anything. You incorporate it as part of your history. It rises out of proportion. There's nothing to compare with the notion of Bond in people's consciousness.
PB: I just hope that it's truthful and believable, having the time of his life killing people, drinking martinis, and shagging his way through the high society of every country he goes to.
DC: There are characteristic guidelines that you have to adhere to because it's a Bond movie, and we try and do that, but within the parameters of that, you mess it up, and that's the challenge and exciting thing about doing this.
I have a few questions:
(1) Were any of the Bonds different from how you expected or from their typical public persona? If so, in what way(s)?
(2) Did you get the impression that PB in any way realised that Die Another Day had gone a bit too far over the top?
(3) If you had to briefly describe each of their personalities (maybe in just several words) how would you?
(4) What exactly has GL been spending his time since OHMSS? (I don't mean to be vulgar, but how has he earned his living?)
Many thanks in advance.
since OHMSS? (I don't mean to be vulgar, but
how has he earned his living?)
I can answer this to a degree, After GL left Bond, he did 2-bit action movies in Japan for sometime, never really making it into the Mainstream as he hoped. I also read somewhere times got so rough for GL that he had to move back in with his mother. Im sure Wikipedia has all the information you need on him, past and present.
Thanks. Yes there are quite a few credits for him on wikipedia. I suppose I was just trying to get a sense for whether hes struggled or is comfortable. Whether the work has come easily or whether hes had to work hard to find it.
Wasn't it chinese? I heard he was going to be in Game Of Death with Bruce Lee before he died (I suppose he's glad he didn't do it in the end because the film turned out crap).
Indeed. And how about George:
"There are a few moments where Bond's more vulnerable that I'm quite proud of. I was never one to walk away from a risk and this was the biggest professional one I ever had."
Right, you are a big risk taking tough guy. You never walk away from a risk? Oh, so that's why you tapped out after one film and quite before the thing even released? Yeah, what a big risk taker you are Laz. What a dolt.
This part does have an element of truth to it. Bond DID have the time of his life shagging people - maybe not killing them though ;)
He was an indulgent son-of-a-bitch.
The book looks great.
You know that's not true, right? Laz wanted to sign a 7-movie contract with EON, but his agent gave him some bad advice. It was due to his agent that he never got to play 007 again. It's been covered on the main website somewhere, quite an interesting read.
