[Documentary Film] BEING JAMES BOND - James Bond

One of the most iconic figures in pop culture is the British globe-trotting super-spy, James Bond. When the first Bond novel was published in 1952, the world was hooked. Moviegoers soon followed when the first Bond film, "Casino Royale", was an instant hit when it premiered in 1962. Sixty years, 25 movies and seven actors playing Bond later, it has never looked back and is still going strong. It is currently the longest-running movie franchise, scoring box office success with every installment. The Bond films set the standard for all spy films to follow, originating many of the genre's classic tropes. These include the evil mastermind, the quirky henchmen, the shadowy international crime empire, exotic locations, luxury vehicles, the fantastic array of weapons and, of course, the fantastic array of women. "Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story" is an honest and joyful retrospective of Craig as 007. Over 16 years (he is also the longest actor to play Bond) and five movies, Craig's version reinvigorated the series, making him the most successful Bond (box office wise). He is also widely praised for portraying the character of how writer Ian Fleming envisioned and created him to be.
