From storyboard to screen – the creation of a ground-breaking legacy.
The James Bond phenomenon is unique. Never before has a single brand crossed so many generations, defining the pace for big-budget film-making in the late 20th century and beyond. For the first time the people who created the Bond films – producers, directors, writers, designers - share their experiences and memories of what it has meant to collaborate on and produce the ultimate film legacy.
Drawing on the spectrum of all twenty-one Bond films, ART OF BOND features a combination of interviews with the people who have made cinematic history including Barbara Broccoli, Ken Adam, Michael G. Wilson and Martin Campbell. Reflecting on the Bond genre’s wider impact, and how it has influenced their own ground-breaking work, are other film-makers including Peter Jackson and Ridley Scott. Lavishly illustrated with an array of images from the exclusive Eon Archive including on-set photographs, concept artwork and original scripts, this will be a visually stunning tribute to the ground-breaking artistic, technical and creative talents of the Bond world.
