The Search for Bond: How the 007 Role Was Won and Lost written by From Sweden with Love reader Robert Sellers is a new book to be published by The History Press in the UK on 17th October 2024.

Only six men (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig) can lay claim to wearing the famous Savile Row tuxedo of James Bond; more people have stepped on the moon. Yet, hundreds more came within an inch of winning the coveted 007 role – the pinnacle for so many actors.

For the very first time, The Search for Bond tells the often-extraordinary story of how cinema’s most famous secret agent was cast, featuring exclusive interviews with many of the actors who were at one time either considered to play Bond [among others Sam Neill, Ian Ogilvy and Julian Glover], interviewed for the role, or went as far as to be screen tested.

Their memories and stories are fascinating and give an ‘insiders’ glimpse into the process of how the Bond producers, Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, came up with the right man to play their famous spy.

With Daniel Craig having vacated the role, the circus surrounding the announcement of his successor has created a tabloid frenzy, and the release of The Search for Bond ought to generate plenty of interest in the media.

Order The Search for Bond: How the 007 Role Was Won and Lost from Amazon UK or Amazon.com.
