Synopsis
The Other Fellow is a documentary film, which is based about the real men who named with James Bond, filmed during the release of James Bond action film series's 'Skyfall' movie. "Discover what it’s like to be James Bond and live in the shadow of 007".
The title comes from George Lazenby’s famous first line in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) where after being abandoned by that film’s Bond girl he remarks to camera – “This never happened to the other fellow!” – in reference to his more famous predecessor Sean Connery. For the Bond’s in The Other Fellow this seemed a most appropriate reference.
In Colorado we meet Jaroslaw Przygodzinski: a truck driver, helicopter pilot and Polish immigrant. In response to his new American wife’s struggles with her acquired surname, Jaroslaw changed his name to “something easier” – James Bond.
In Texas we meet James Bond, whose famous namesake caused havoc during his days working within top secret government facilities. *spoiler alert* His 8 year old son, father and 87 year old grandfather may also be James Bond..
In Toronto we join Canada’s most prominent gay lawyer, James Bond, for the birth of twins he has fathered to a local lesbian couple. Coming out is hard enough, what happens when everyone thinks you’re James Bond?
In Wyoming we encounter New York native James Bond whilst he is directing a local theatre production. James calls the name the “bane of his existence” and has lived many of its ups and downs – from being on the David Letterman show reading the “10 Best things about being named James Bond” top ten list to being “nine pages down on Google”.
In the Caribbean we tell the story of “notorious” opposition member James Bond, whose 2012 bid to become President of Guyana resulted in him being shot by the local police forces – “that was the punchline in Guyana.. the Guyana police force has done what the KGB, the Russians, the Germans and everyone else was trying to do for years – shoot James Bond”.
There is a final James Bond still to be shot in Manchester, UK. His identity is being kept top secret…for now.
Shot deliberately in the leadup and aftermath of Skyfall and the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond film series, the Bond’s weave an intriguing account of what it’s like to life in the shadow of the world’s most famous secret agent.
