FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: London, January 28thth
– Production company The Other Fellow Ltd.
today announced that their film The Other Fellow,
a documentary about the lives of real men
around the world who are named James Bond, is coming to film in
Sweden!
After filming in the Caribbean, USA, Canada, Australia and the
UK the crew is coming to Sweden
to film their final James Bond at his home in Kalmar, his 007
Museum in Nybro and other
locations throughout the country.
Director of The
Other Fellow, Matthew Bowyer said: “We
have filmed everyone from an American
prison inmate, to a Caribbean politician and a gay Canadian
lawyer on his wedding day – all
named James Bond. But we had to come to Sweden to film your own
James Bond because of his
incredible story that begins in Germany during World War II and
continues today at his 007
Museum in Nybro. I’m so excited to be filming this incredible
character and the natural winter beauty of Sweden.”
Born as Gunnar Schaefer, Sweden’s Mr. Bond had a difficult
childhood after the disappearance of
his father in 1959. His father had escaped Germany after World
War II and become a Swedish
citizen before his mysterious disappearance. It was when he saw
Goldfinger in 1964 that Gunnar
found a new father figure in James Bond 007 and his creator Ian
Fleming. Throughout his life
Gunnar slowly began to take on 007’s persona in his mannerisms,
clothing and lifestyle and even
opened a 007 Museum in Nybro to house his collection of James
Bond cars and memorabilia. But
this transformation was only completed in the year 2007
when he changed his name from
Gunnar Schaefer to James Bond. Today Mr. Bond is a local
celebrity and has made several
television appearances throughout Sweden as Scandinavia’s
premiere 007 expert and Sweden’s
real James Bond. But, of course, as a normal man Mr. Bond is not
a Secret Agent but instead runs
a car parts dealership out of the same building as his 007
Museum!
For The Other
Fellow’s one-week shoot in Sweden,
commencing Thursday 29th of January, the
crew will be filming Mr. Bond driving his 007 Aston Martin
around the country, riding his replica
007 Ski-doo, hosting a 007 Party at the 007 Museum and making
media appearances. The crew
welcomes any media in Sweden to join us and be a part of the
film.
