| Summary |
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… Featuring hilarious retellings from Lazenby himself, BECOMING BOND is sure to please James Bond and comedy fans alike. Winner of an Audience Award and nominated for the Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award at the **SXSW Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Documentary at **Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival**. *"Intimate, irreverent and at times laugh-out-loud funny ..." - Peter Debruge, **Variety*** |
