Film-maker has licence to tell story of Bond movies

The story of the three men who helped bring James Bond to the cinema screen will be told in a documentary.

Film-maker Stevan Riley, who made the award-winning Fire in Babylon about the 1970s West Indies cricket team, will make Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007.

It will tell the story of novelist Ian Fleming, who created the secret agent character, and film producers Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman.

The film is part of a series of celebrations that will see 5 October declared Global James Bond Day, 50 years after the world premiere of Dr No in London. Events will include a charity ­auction at Christie’s in London and a film retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
