Cinemablend also had a nice little write up on the clip The clip comes courtesy of Empire. We forget how much pressure comes along with stepping into the tuxedo of cinema’s most famous spy, so it’s enlightening to hear Pierce Brosnan reflect on the moment he first had to utter the signature introduction, “The name is Bond. James Bond.” And I love how he doesn’t play it cool in this clip. He lets the passion, the nerves, the concern and the delight shine through in his recollection. This was a very big deal for him at the time, and it feels like his movies spent in the role remain a very important deal. as does EmpirePierce Brosnan has had no more high-pressure line to deliver in his career than his first "Bond, James Bond" in GoldenEye. The Irishman sums up the demands of the situation quite beautifully in this clip from new Bond documentary Everything Or Nothing. "Roger and Sean would come into my mind", he remembers, "and in the end I didn't fight them, I just let them in."

www.screendaily.com/news/uk-ireland/stevan-riley-talks-about-james-bond-doc-everything-or-nothing/5046902.articleStevan Riley talks about James Bond doc Everything or Nothing28 September, 2012 | By Geoffrey Macnab Director talks how he found out Bill Clinton was a Bond fan, and how Skyfall director Sam Mendes questioned Daniel Craig as 007.“The name is Clinton…Bill Clinton.” When he was in the White House, US President Bill Clinton spent his spare time watching James Bond movies. The man from Little Rock thought that Pierce Brosnan was the “perfect” Bond for the transition from the Cold War to a new era in geo-politics. He also credited Bond creator Ian Fleming with having the foresight, long before 9/11, to realize that “non-state agencies could destabilize the world.” The revelations about Clinton’s passion for James Bond are contained in Everything Or Nothing, a new documentary from director Stevan Riley to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bond series. Clinton recorded a special interview for the documentary, which was produced by Passion Pictures and Red Box Films. Clinton is one of many politicians known to be big Bond fans, among them US Presidents John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan and current UK Prime Minister David Cameron. “I found it fascinating realizing that these premiers and heads of state are Bond fans,” Riley commented. “Clinton in particular was a massive Bond fan, and unashamed. He told me he had watched all the films.” Riley discovered Clinton’s enthusiasm for Bond from an old university friend, the actress (and former Bond villainess) Rosamund Pike. “She had a connection with Chelsea Clinton. I had heard a rumour he (Bill Clinton) was a Bond fan and then it was a case of verifying that. We found somebody who was part of his campaign team and they confirmed it.” The documentary features contributions from past and present Bonds with the exception of Sir Sean Connery, who turned down repeated requests for interviews. “I was very keen to get Sean. Let’s face it, Sean is everybody’s favourite Bond, including my own,” Riley commented. “I made several petitions…really urging him to participate, saying I am trying to do something very serious here, a legacy piece. Sean still declined. That’s clearly his prerogative.” Riley describes his film as a “survival story.” As he chronicles, there were many, many instances during the last 50 years when the Bond series came close to being derailed. The director paid tribute to Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for allowing him to tell the unvarnished story of Bond. The documentary chronicles in detail the rupture in relations between Connery and the series’ original producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. It also tells the story of the epic legal battles between Thunderball producer Kevin McClory and Ian Fleming, and then those between McClory and Broccoli and Saltzman. George Lazenby speaks very candidly about why he was sacked as Bond after only one film while Pierce Brosnan reveals how an abrupt telephone call ended his four film stint as Bond. Other interviewees include Christopher Lee, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, Skyfall director Sam Mendes (who acknowledges he initially thought Daniel Craig was totally wrong for Bond), Maud Adams, Judy Geeson and John Pearson. The film receives its premiere in New York in early October. It is shown at the Dinard Festival and will be given a theatrical release on October 5 by Odeon as part of Global James Bond day. Riley (whose previous credits include Blue Blood and Fire In Babylon) is planning to make the leap into dramatic features. Meanwhile, he is also working on another feature doc with Passion Pictures, about leading Spanish bullfighter, Cayetano Ordonez.

Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story 007Alan Simmons September 30, 2012 CINEMA RELEASES Everything or Nothing isn’t simply a “Making Of” or a “Behind the Scenes” of the James Bond films; it’s the story of the men who brought Bond to life on the page and screen and a loving, fascinating and incorrigible tribute to an ever-enduring British icon. Directed with intelligence and elegance by Stevan Riley (Fire in Babylon), Everything or Nothing is a documentary made like a Bond film. Between the talking heads, footage from the films themselves is repurposed as reenactments of events and all the music is carefully culled from Bond’s back catalogue to soundtrack the tale of Ian Fleming, Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. This is a story of how a depressed and directionless Fleming dreamed up the perfect protector against evil in 007, but how his secret agent alter-ego may also have been his undoing. Of how Cubby Broccoli, a fan of Fleming’s books, who had the money, teamed up with Saltzman, who had the rights, to bet every last penny on putting Fleming’s Bond on screen. It’s also the story of the actors who played various incarnations of the legendary spy. Bar Sean Connery, Everything or Nothing features every man to don the tux and save not only England, but the world. Connery’s absence is explained as being down to bad blood, but it’s a shame he couldn’t swallow some pride and contribute a few words as the space he has left is filled with him getting a bit of a kicking. Tales of his behaviour that reflect poorly on him are fascinating but also sad to hear. Saying that, this could easily have been a big back slapping gang bang if not for the edge given by coverage of Connery’s anger over money, refusal to work if Saltzman so much as stepped on set and traitorous involvement in rival Bond film Never Say Never Again. The rest are all present, correct and thoroughly entertaining. George Lazenby recounts his sneaky snagging of the role as well as his abuse of it that led to him blowing the whole thing. Moore wears some very big glasses and admits he wasn’t as good as Connery. Dalton is proud to have toughened Bond back up but also very aware that his dark and gritty incarnation was not only ahead of it’s time, but nearly the death of the franchise. And then there’s Pierce Brosnan. Pierce not only recounts the heartbreak of getting last-minute-shafted out of the role, but the pure, foul-mouthed joy of finally bagging it. Such is his charm, that his inability to recall what his second film was called and his laughter at his ludicrous later outings completely makes you forgive (but never forget) that bloody invisible car. With Skyfall’s release looming in this 50th year of Bond, Daniel Craig of course enters the fray, but it never makes you feel like Everything or Nothing has merely been a big advert for Bond’s latest adventure. A shot or two of previously unseen footage is present to tease, but there’s no talk of how good it’ll be – instead Craig’s slot features cringe worthy coverage of his initial writing off from not only the tabloids who called him “James Bland”, but also the director of Skyfall himself, Sam Mendes, who freely admits to telling reporters that Daniel’s casting was “a terrible idea”. Everything or Nothing is a wonderful documentary that is an absolutely essential watch for any Bond fan. It makes your heart swell with love for not only the character, but for everybody who has ever played him or contributed to bringing him to the screen and into your life. It also makes you want to run straight home and watch all the films again. Oh, James.

www.film-news.co.uk/show-news.asp?H=Bond-actress-admires-%E2%80%98sexy%E2%80%99-spy&nItemID=15063Bond actress admires ‘sexy’ spy 5 Oct 2012 Bond-actress-admires-‘sexy’ (Cover) - EN Movies - Samantha Bond says "sexy men" are the secret to James Bond's success. The actress starred as Miss Moneypenny in the franchise alongside Pierce Brosnan. Samantha shared her thoughts on why she thinks James Bond is still as popular today as it was in 1962 when Sean Connery first brought Ian Fleming's character to the big screen. "It's got very sexy men, sexy cars, amazing plots and wonderful scripts and incredible attention to detail," Samantha told BBC News. Samantha revealed more about what it was like working on the iconic British film franchise. The British actress shared some of her personal favourite memories of shooting the 1999 film The World Is Not Enough. "I've driven the Aston Martin. At the beginning of The World Is Not Enough, James Bond goes to a funeral and I drove him," Samantha revealed. "You never see it in the film. It was actually very frightening driving a car that was insured for a quarter of a million pounds with Pierce Brosnan sitting beside me and thinking, 'God knows how much he is insured for'".
