Jane Seymour, Jeff Garlin, Josh Lawson, George Lazenby, Jake Johnson, Kassandra Clementi, and Teressa Liane in Becoming Bond (2017)

Trivia

Becoming Bond

Edit
The film is split into 13 chapters, each with a title that is a James Bond reference or pun. The titles are: You Only Live Once, The Road to Pussy Galore, Try Another Day, For Her Eyes Only, From Australia with Love, The Guy Who Loved Me, Single Oh Seven, The Man with the Golden Tongue, Unlicensed to Kill, Tomorrow Sometimes Dies, Shaken Not Deterred, The World is Never Enough, and Decisions are Forever.
George Lazenby made only one Bond movie (despite being offered a seven-movie contract) He made two appearances as James Bond. 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1969) was the first. The second was in The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair (1983), where he helps Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin in a street fight from his car. Admittedly, he is uncredited as James Bond (in favor of an abbreviation J.B.), but his performance is so obviously Bond-ish that it's impossible for him not to be James Bond. All the elements are there, a tuxedo, Walther PPK, cool clipped persona, and Aston Martin (only the girl is missing).
The Entertainment Weekly cover shown in the film featuring George Lazenby as James Bond is fictitious. Entertainment Weekly wasn't published until 1990. The cover was a series of special covers Entertainment Weekly released in 2006 to coincide with the then upcoming release of Casino Royale (2006). EW depicted each actor as Bond on an EW cover had they been around long enough to cover all the Bonds.
Cast member Jane Seymour, who played Maggie, was a Bond girl in Live and Let Die (1973) with Roger Moore as 007.
Josh Greenbaum says of this documentary in his official Director's Statement for the film: ''So what do you need for a great biopic? Well, first off you need a great story, which this has in spades. But you also need a great storyteller. And I'm not sure I've sat with a more gifted storyteller [George Lazenby] in my life. George tells his own life story in such a way that I laughed so hard (and so frequently) during our lunch that the hostess had to ask us to quiet down. And as I drove home from our meeting, I was inspired by his storytelling with an idea that I think can elevate this beyond the traditional documentary...''.
