One of the most popular, successful and enduring film series of all time is that of Agent 007 James Bond. Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan. David Craig, Timothy Dalton, George Lazenby these men have embodied the iconic agent in over 25 films.
Icons Unearthed produced a 6-part documentary that tracked this series from beginning to end? Now Mill Creek Entertainment has released this documentary series on Blu-ray for the first time ever!
Synopsis: Before there were epic action film franchises, there was James Bond… the British super spy who set the bar for what an action film could be, inspiring every franchise that came after it. Icons Unearthed: James Bond tells the story of how Ian Fleming’s literary creation got his big break on the silver screen and became the most quotable name in cinematic history. With a formula for success in place the producers bet the franchise on an unknown face who would prove to be more than they could handle. Keeping up with the changing times, the films would embrace the Civil Rights movement, the space race, and the end of the Cold War. How did Bond enthrall audiences for over 60 years, surviving a failing creative partnership, six different lead actors, multiple lawsuits, competing films, corporate takeovers, and two complete reboots? Hold onto your Vesper martinis, and get ready for guns, gadgets, and Bond girls on Icons Unearthed: James Bond.
This series was so well produced. The history of the making of these films is so interesting. And I had no idea Peter Sellers once played James Bond. If you don't know that story you need to see this series. Icons Unearthed: James Bond is a wonderful documentary series. Just beware there is a couple instances of some adult language, so viewer beware.
