Some Kind of Hero
Author: Matthew Field
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750966505
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 756
Book Description
For over 50 years, Albert R. Broccoli's Eon Productions has navigated the ups and downs of the volatile British film industry, enduring both critical wrath and acclaim in equal measure for its now legendary James Bond series. Latterly, this family run business has been crowned with box office gold and recognised by motion picture academies around the world. However, it has not always been plain sailing. Changing financial regimes forced 007 to relocate to France and Mexico; changing fashions and politics led to box office disappointments; and changing studio regimes and business disputes all but killed the franchise. And the rise of competing action heroes has constantly questioned Bond's place in popular culture. But against all odds the filmmakers continue to wring new life from the series, and 2012's Skyfall saw both huge critical and commercial success, crowning 007 as the undisputed king of the action genre. Some Kind of Hero recounts this remarkable story, from its origins in the early '60s right through to the present day, and draws on hundreds of unpublished interviews with the cast and crew of this iconic series.

Beyond The Ice
Author: Nicolas Suszczyk
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
"This book is not a blind defence to 'Die Another Day'. This is not even a tribute to the 20th James Bond film or a subjective appreciation of it. This is just a book that intends to give a second look to a film that is ranked quite low in the list of filmgoers or 007 fans". With these words, author Nicolás Suszczyk ('The World of GoldenEye', 'The Bond of The Millennium') begins to assess the fourth and final James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan and released in November 2002 as the series reached its ruby anniversary, also taking into account the sociocultural context of the early days of the new millennium in an era divided between the fear of terrorism and the leisure provided by new forms of technology. 'Beyond The Ice' deconstructs 'Die Another Day' as no book has done before and explains why there is more to Bond 20 than an invisible Aston Martin Vanquish and 007 surfing a computer-generated tsunami.

Shaken
Author: Ian Fleming
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062896245
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Readers can explore James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s writing on the pleasures of drinking and mix themselves fifty delicious cocktails from recipes inspired by his books and developed by award-winning London bar, Swift. Both Bond and Fleming were partial to a stiff drink. In both fiction and real life, cocktails were an important and well-chosen accompaniment to adventure and daring and often relaxing. Fleming made the Martini famous with Bond’s ritual of always ordering it “shaken, not stirred”. But in every James Bond book a wide selection of strong, sophisticated and carefully crafted drinks are essential details to the story. The recipes in Shaken are divided into five categories: Straight Up; On the Rocks; Tall; Fizzy; and Exotic. Sip on inventions such as Smersh, Moneypenny, That Old Devil M and Diamonds Are Forever, as well as classic Bond cocktails such as the Vesper—and, of course, the Dry Martini. Each recipe is illustrated by a stunning full-color photo of the drink and wonderful extracts from Fleming’s writing—taken from the passage where the drink was featured or a place, character, or plot that inspired it. Shaken features a foreword written by the novelist’s nephew, Fergus Fleming, as well as plenty of his writing on whisky, gin, rum, and other spirits.
