BECOMING BOND - A
new docu-drama tells the
life story of one-time James Bond George Lazenby
A unique
documentary/narrative hybrid chronicling the stranger-than-fiction true
story of George Lazenby, a poor Australian car mechanic who, through an
unbelievable set of circumstances, landed the role of James Bond in On
Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), despite having never acted a day
in his life. Then after being offered the next six Bond films and a $1
million signing bonus, he turned it all down…
The film will be
available to stream on Hulu from 20 May 2017 after premiering at the SXSW
Festival on 11 March. George Lazenby appeared at the SXSW Festival along
with writer-director Josh Greenbaum, and actor Josh Lawson who plays
Lazenby in Becoming Bond. Also appearing in the film is actress
Jane Seymour who starred alongside Roger Moore in the 1973 James Bond film
Live And Let Die.
