Our friends at The History Press reports that they will publish a new edition of Roger Moore's diaries from the 1972/1973 production of Live and Let Die on 1 June, 2018 with a new foreword by Roger's long-time friend and colleage David Hedison who portrayed Felix Leiter in the film.
Official book synopsis
To tie in with the release of his first James Bond film,
Live and Let Die,
Roger Moore agreed to keep a day-by-day diary throughout the film’s production which was published just ahead of the premiere in July 1973. From the previous October, when he was unveiled as the new 007, through to his first scenes on location in
New Orleans and his final shot in
New York, Moore describes his whirlwind journey as cinema’s most famous secret agent.
Taking in the sights of
Jamaica before returning to
Pinewood Studios, Moore’s razor wit and unique brand of humour is ever present. With tales from every location, including his encounters with his co-stars and key crew members, Moore offers the reader an unusually candid, amusing and hugely insightful behind-the-scenes look into the world’s most successful film franchise.
Never before, and never since, has a 007 himself written such a book, and this new, limited edition will introduce the next generation of Bond fans to Roger Moore’s extraordinary legacy.
Pre-order the book, titled The 007 Diaries, from Amazon UK.
