For the first time in the long-running James Bond film series, an original song has been placed at the end of a Bond film (for one region of the world only). The song “Sweetest Coma Again” by the Japanese band “LUNA SEA” appears over the end credits for The World Is Not Enough on Japanese prints! 007Forever presents all you need to know about this unique chapter in Bond film music.

The print of The World Is Not Enough that most saw worldwide featured a David Arnold remix of “The James Bond Theme” over the end titles, dropping Arnold’s ballad of “Only Myself to Blame”. In Japan however, a new song with a rock beat was commissioned by the studio to play over the end credits for Mr. Kiss-Kiss-Bang-Bang’s latest.

The reasoning for this strange choice lay in a marketing decision to give The World Is Not Enough added appeal in the Japanese market. “Tomorrow Never Dies” had a rather soft Japanese reception in 1998, though it initially outscored “Titanic” at the Japanese box office, and there were concerns that Bond did not have as broad an appeal in Japan today as he does in other countries. One solution to this problem was to feature a popular Japanese rock band in the new Bond film.

Enter LUNA SEA:

LUNA SEA (yes, all in capitals) is an all-male band consisting of Ryuichi on vocals, Sugizo on guitar, Inoran on guitar, “J” on bass and Sin-Ya on drums. The band somewhat resembles a Japanese version of Duran Duran, down to the pretty-boy glam-rock trappings.

Reinforcing the Duran Duran parallels, band member Sugizo is a fan of all Bond’s vocals since the 60’s. Sugizo sports a Bondian Rolex watch and drives a Lotus Esprit much like John Taylor of Duran Duran. Sugizo is also reportedly a good friend of “Goldie,” the British drum and bass musician featured in TWINE as Zhukovsky’s chief henchman, “Bull”.

Music and lyrics for “Sweetest Coma Again” were written by LUNA SEA who also performed the song. The song also “features” Japanese musician “DJ Krush” as a guest artist. The track is featured on the Japanese version of The World Is Not Enough and Scott Walker’s “Only Myself to Blame” is included as well! There is no music video currently but the band did perform the song on popular New Year’s Eve telecasts.

Music to our ears:

“Sweetest Coma Again” is a rock song sung in Japanese. As a stand-alone song, it’s a decent tune. As a proper James Bond song, it’s severely lacking, however. To be generous, you could say that the song is in the “A View To A Kill”/”The Living Daylights” corner of pop-rock Bond songs. To be blunt, one could say that the song is a generic rock song slapped onto the film to give it some added marketability. The song had no involvement from David Arnold and therefore contains no melody or lyrics heard in the film itself. As with Sheryl Crow’s “Tomorrow Never Dies” title track, LUNA SEA admits that they wrote the song before seeing the film.

The song is sung from the point of view of a man but its unclear whether that man is James Bond or “Renard!” The woman in question who is the muse for the tune is most likely “Elektra King” but again, the lyrics are murky at best. If it is Renard singing about Elektra, the fact that Renard has no feelings is conveniently forgotten. In any event, 007Forever hereby presents an exclusive translation of the Japanese lyrics to “Sweetest Coma Again”:

[Written and performed by LUNA SEA]

“Sweetest Coma Again…Sweetest Coma Again…Sweetest Chaotic Coma Again

“Are you ready?” You tease me with excellent skills.
“What do you want?” I am falling in you with your stimulative noise.
Would you join me to steal the pale moon in the sky in perfect rhythms.
Watch out! This is the game without any tricks under sweet conscience,

Just Like Coma…I’m in the Coma…Sweetest Coma Again

Hold me tight again, My sweet,
Tonight, the world is in your hands,
Shoot my chest again passionately,
Tonight, the world is in your hands.

Don’t wake me up again, sweetest dream,
Tonight, the world is in your eyes,
Don t pass me again, sweetest time,
Tonight, the world is in your eyes,

Hold me tight again, My sweet,
Tonight, the world is in your hands,
Shoot my chest again passionately,
Tonight, the world is in your hands.

With my crazy heat and beat,
Tonight, the world is gonna quake,
With your crazy heat and hold,
Tonight, the world is in my hands.

Sweetest Coma Again…Sweetest Coma Again

Your crazy heat and beat run through my body,
Endless dream and Coma Again.”

–Translation courtesy of Yukitoshi Kitagaki

Japanese Bond expert, Makoto Wakamatsu, has provided the following comments on the song:

“The man cannot get away from a certain girl. Her mysterious and yet binding power forces him to accept her. He falls into a sweet dream and he cannot resist her anymore. She is the whole world for him. Now he feels so good, he doesn’t want to leave her. She holds him again and he shares the world with her. The dream is endless.”

Background: Poor Stacy Sutton. God gave her the looks, but must`ve forgotten to give her the brains. A California State-based geologist living in San Francisco, Stacy became embroiled in an international rigged proxy fight takeover of her Grandfather`s oil company when she tried to defend it against the crazed billionaire industrialist Max Zorin. Conceding defeat, she begrudgingly accepted a $5 million dollar payoff to drop her fight against Zorin and it wasn`t until she ran into James Bond in San Francisco that her thirst to take on Zorin was quenched once again. Stacy went through a number of traumatic experiences, including being framed for the death of her supervisor, Mr. Howe, being tossed into a fiery elevator shaft, driving a fire truck through the roller coaster-like hills of San Francisco, a man made earthquake, and a fight on top of the GoldenGate Bridge, before ridding herself of Zorin once and for all.

Our family and fellow 007 collectors enjoyed the recent Collectors’ Day at the Florida Museum of Natural History. For the 30th Anniversary bash, nearly 100 collectors presented everything from exquisite Star Wars, Simpsons and Bond memorabilia to Titanic memories, The Beatles, World War victories and more.

As Bondiana and Flemingiana collectors, our group shared screen-used props, standees, rare books and toys with the public. The items catching the greatest attention included some of Lana Wood’s items from the Diamonds Are Forever set and the two James Bond Bible Study books on display!

Collectors’ Day is a great way to spend a day if you do not mind telling hundreds of visitors your favorite Bond(s) and why, pointing out the differences between the DB5 and the Volante, and just generally inciting excitement among Bond enthusiasts. We also distributed free of charge posters, premiere tickets from Casino Royale, pamphlets about Bond and more.

Hosting an event in Florida also means you are constantly encountering folks from Miami and other locations who worked on the sets of Thunderball, License To Kill and other Bond flicks. Through the years, I’ve had a lot of tidbits and this recent event was no exception. We were able to chat with a fellow from University of Miami whose teaching staff provided most of the scuba diving team from the climatic battle of Thunderball.

Join us for the January 2018 event!

“Beginn-or-oh-seven Collectors” mostly own a handful of gadget assembled by some Q’s purvey of some DVDs or other gifts. They never thought to collect Mr. Bond. These chaps, and more rarely (okay, much more rarely, chapettes) come home pie-eyed from visiting an experienced collector or checking on thousands of Bond items now on eBay. Once “bitten by the bug,” as Bruce Glover stated in Diamonds Are Forever, even newbies quickly graduate to full-fledged Fleming freaks and boffo (sometimes boorish, but bold) Bond buffs.

Bondologists (I coined the term first for myself, snobbishly) have collected Bond, and themselves as collectors together in small hunting packs like the BCW’s and other events, for decades. The legends of the craft collected Bond in the days when standees weren’t kept (or recycled or repurposed for sustainability), when displays were less important than the toys they housed, and before Bond had six iterations and over 20 films.

It’s been a pleasure to know many of the legends and gawk at their goodies in person or online or both. Graham Rye in the UK, with his Blofeld’s Coat-of-Arms ripped right from the Piz Gloria wall and a monstrous trove of rare photos, magazines and uber-props; Doug Redenius, whose collection is valued at over $2 Million U.S., with 90% of the items on proud display in his Illinois home, Alan Stephenson in California, who is able to present fabulous props and prototypes from each and every film and knows as much about Bond as anyone, mega-book and Flemingiana collectors like Dave Reinhardt, Brad Frank, Steve Kulakoksi and yours truly, clothing and Bond lifestyle masters like David Zaritsky, Charles Axworthy and Greg Bechtloff, video and audio archivists like Paul Scrabo and George Ann Muller, and many, many, devoted more… to Moore, Connery and more. Even up to sheer knowledge collectors, like Dan McCruden, who is enclyopedic on the casts and crew of the movies and the Dutch collector who knows every note of every soundtrack… “ba-ba-ba… let’s see, Moonraker, track is Journey to Space Station, 35 seconds in…”

You know you’re a fanatic when your extensive collection has occupied a bedroom, basement or attic. You know it when you wonder what you’ll do with all Her Majesty’s items when inevitably they become His Majesty’s Secret Service items.

At this level, we revel in the thrills of locating new items and obscure rarities, to boldly, and if there is enough dust on our shelves, mold-ly, go where no collector has gone yet hence. E-mails are exchanged with collector pals asking to identify finds (or begging them to not bid on auction items you know they already own). I personally have sent UJBFB-master Deb Lipp tractates on tarot cards, bothered Michael VanBlaricum to provenance Mr. Fleming’s letters, asked John Cox to make me a color facsimile of a dustjacket so rare it was on 8 books only, received a first press CD from Vic Flick, and many more.

All of the above ultra-collectors, including I, can thrill you (bore you?) for days on end with items in the collection, where from, who from and how much, plus endless stories about the book that was lost in the flood, the toy that went for $2 more to the higher bidder, the steal or bargain that drives the fun.

“Tell me, which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?”

The section will highlight the levitra 20 mg cute-n-tiny.com minefields to avoid. Thus many manufacturers showed their interest in making new sex enhancement product for females, like cialis cost canada . To enhance sexual execution it is additionally said to happen because of tension and apprehension. It turned into an easing for men who take cute-n-tiny.com buying levitra without prescription nitrates or alpha-blockers for heart or blood pressure issues, as they readily decrease blood pressure. “Don’t make it tougher on yourself…”

Beyond the Bondologist lies the “extreme” or “psychotic” collector, whom we love as the line between genius and insanity, snobbery and purgatory, as exemplified by the Blofelds, Carvers and Zorins that make Bond’s life worth living, even if the world isn’t quite enough. For example, the legendary book collector who collects Signet paperbacks-one example of every printing of every Signet paperback. Imagine having 48 versions of You Only Live Twice that look identical on your shelf until you turn to the bottom of the inside title page to see “45th printing” or “23rd printing”! Imagine this man’s consternation over missing printing 13 of From Russia With Love or the 27th printing of For Your Eyes Only. Collectively, all 48 YOLT books are worth a grand total of $24 but what the hey-let’s get together and put the show on the road for Christmas with Irma Bunt.

I’ll e-mail you photos of the Dutch legend’s collection with 22 drawers labeled from Dr. No through Quantum of Solace-22 pull drawers in movie order merely to hold pounds of scrap clippings until they can be filed, labeled and stored, all with exacto knives and paste, without aid of any computer help. Or just look inside my own PC, with hundreds of albums of Bond music stored digitally, and a folder of every Bond film with photos inside-stored in movie frame sequence order-and sub-directories for each film with behind the scenes shots-and directories by film for posters as .jpgs, and-and…

But Bond is so extensive, you ought to specialize somehow, also. I know a lovely fellow whose many pristine books all bear Connery or Connery’s likeness on their cover only; a poster collector who “only has” posters-several thousand different posters and lobby displays, etc., etc.

And what separates the “boys with toys” from the men, from the boys, is the depth of their pockets, or depravity, when it comes to buying the best, trading the best, and hoarding the best. And the best of the best. And the best of the worst for fun, too. Have you seen the book with model George Lazenby on the cover in black tuxedo, four years before OHMSS was filmed? Have you read x’s notes.

More specifically, I’ve sold and traded entire sets of books to gather up scratch to buy one rare one. I’ve spent years building an assembly of dozens of Bond books specially bound with never a dustjacket used-all leather and specialty cloth bindings. I proudly own a number of one-in-the-world props and ephemera, and so on.

Newbie? Bondologist? Lunatic? Let’s get the conversation blogging here at BondFanEvents and share war stories (and trade collectibles).

It’s been too long since we got together as fans. Many fans attended BondFanEvents’s 2006 group cruise to The Bahamas when we visited sneak preview locations from Casino Royale. And now, Bond fans are cruising to Jamaica as well!

The “big ball of TWINE” in Jefferson City, Missouri, was a hit with the fans on December 5. Host Bryan Forbis hooked up fans in attendance with a celebratory extravaganza featuring the “consumption of mass quantities” of food and beverage by all.

Special guests who visited the premiere included “Austin Powers” with a delightful `droid “Fembot” in tow, Goldfinger (literally a golden finger), “Q”, several James Bonds in full regalia and a young, diminutive “Mini-Bond”, assorted Bondian ladies and gentlemen in fashion finery and all the rest.

Mini-Bond won the Bondly trivia contest. After the party the group descended on a local theater for their private showing of The World Is Not Enough. Host Bryan Forbis said, “You [Bond fans] would have felt right at home. I`m already planning the next one; I certainly hope Brosnan won`t make us wait for six years again this time as I have MI-6 and guests expectations to fulfill.”

Congratulations, Bryan and his fellow 007s. Let us know about your upcoming Bond events by writing to 007Forever at Bond Fan Events.

Built in 1919 as a vaudeville house, The Darress Theater is one of the last remaining “reverse theaters” in the country where the audience enters from under the screen and stage. This unique design had a practical purpose. As the theater was constructed on a hillside, it was easier to allow the slope of the auditorium floor to follow the contour of the land. During it`s vaudeville days, it hosted such notable entertainers as Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen and Houdini.

In addition to a screening of LIVE AND LET DIE next weekend (January 14th and 15th), The Darress Theater will be running one of the theatrical releases of the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E series entitled ONE OF OUR SPIES IS MISSING starting at 10:15 p.m. The double feature rate will apply if you attend both films ($9.00 adults, $4.50 kids). Vintage spy trailers will be shown in between. Great family fun!

The Darress Theater website has details on movies, showtimes, and directions.

In conjunction with Fanderson and the The James Bond Collectors Club, The National Museum of Film, Photography and Television will be hosting Bond And Beyond: The Movie Magic of Derek Meddings, a special two-day tribute to special effects and Bond legend Derek Meddings, May 27-28, 2000.

Special discount ticket prices for James Bond Collectors Club members are available. The event at the Museum`s Pictureville Cinema in Bradford, West Yorkshire, will celebrate Mr. Meddings` legacy through screenings of his most popular and best-known work and guest talks by some of his visual effects colleagues.

Meddings, who died in 1995, brought lavish and memorable visual images to the famous Gerry Anderson films and television series and used the miniature model effects he developed on a number of James Bond films. Perhaps most fittingly, shortly before his death he used his industry-legend talents for GoldenEye, a film in which his brilliant model work saved MGM many thousands of dollars in time-consuming computer generated effects work.

The James Bond Collectors Club will display models, costumes and props from the Meddings days. There will also be an extensive display of related Bond memorabilia besides eight of Meddings` most effects-laden movies shown on the big screen, including the Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only and GoldenEye.

Production designer Peter Lamont and producer Michael G. Wilson are expected to attend, as well as assistant director Elliott Meddings who worked with his father on Batman and GoldenEye. Mr. Meddings will display a collection of his father`s production design illustrations from the Gerry Anderson series and the James Bond films.

How many Bond films are there, really? Should fans count “a Pepper for Tomorrow” as canon? Wait a minute! What is “a Pepper for Tomorrow?” (The Bondumentary on the making of this film premiered at Bond Weekend III.)

Safe to say, few reading this interview have heard yet of “the Pepper”, because it’s the low/no budget, fan-made thriller nobody’s been talking about. The teaser trailer is out and boasts a funny and entertaining look at a beloved secret agent whose next film “premieres nowhere” on January 1, 2000. He dives from a plane, dodges a speeding car, is karate-kicked through a room and stops just long enough to save billions from being deprived of a critical carbonated beverage.

The incredible spoof “a Pepper for Tomorrow,” made by Dean Williams’ Backburner Productions, gives fans more than just a seriously self-parodying full-length movie. Dean has built his own giant Ken Adam-ish 007 set, crafted his own Bond gadgets and Bond car, plus has a line of creative merchandise including posters, detailed action figures, and everything you could wish for in a 007-ly advertising campaign.

The strange and wonderful world of “Deano” Williams is seen best in his latest 50-page magazine, “Tasty Film Previews” or on the movie trailer, behind-the-scenes and sample footage I have been pressured? privileged? to watch. The line between fantasy and reality is often blurred for Mr. Williams and the BackBurner crew. I recently corralled a busy Dean long enough for an exclusive interview (no one else would take him!) to get a few straight answers from him along with the humorous take on everyone’s favorite agent and the bizarre and entertaining world of BackBurner productions.

Matt Sherman: Explain to our 007Forever readers who you are, anyway?

“Deano” Williams: Basically I am nobody.

Matt: Can you be less specific?

Dean: I am just one fan in a million who spends his spare time creating Bondian stuff. I am fortunate to connect to other fans via the awesome Forever website. Fellow fans will want to check out my newest movie, “a Pepper for Tomorrow” and if I’m extra lucky they will find a belly laugh or two in it.

Matt: What made you decide on your own Bond movie, Deano?

Dean: Well, I had always been a Bond fan since I was a kid, it wasn’t until later that I became what you would call a serious fan/collector. [Note: Dean’s home office is plastered over with countless original stills, posters, standees and books in mint condition.] As a hobby I also made movies growing up, and had always wanted to do a Bond spoof, but friends who were appearing in my films weren’t deeply into Bond like I was. So it wasn’t until recently that I was able to finally make a two-hour Bond epic of my own.

Matt: Why choose “a Pepper for Tomorrow”?

Dean: I actually started to write a more serious spy script, but I soon realized that it would be a kind of sacrilegious in general, as well as logistically impossible, to make a serious low-budget Bond movie. It would turn out looking like crap, and I’ll leave that action to Mr. Kevin McClory, thanks. So I decided to create a spoof that is funny yet pays tribute to the series that has so inspired me all these years. I think Messrs. Cubby and Fleming are my biggest influences, and I’m glad EON has in place Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to carry on the best film series ever!

Matt: Explain some of the logistics of undertaking a major, yet minor film.

Dean: We worked for weeks to cover over a large basement with paper, computer equipment, indoor plants, cut foam, camera tricks, etc., to make something out of a hidden volcano or underground lab. There is a delightful two-second moment in GoldenEye, for example, where they show a large screen displaying the tracking of General Ourumov’s stolen GoldenEye satellites. I captured the screen shot to tape by holding it in a loop for two hours, so that just one of the many monitors in the villain’s control room set has something cool to display during the film.

We got that serious about details, like hand-painted working elevators, gun display racks, filming our own stunts, creating a whole casino for Jerry [Soules, the sixth and cheapest 007] to confront Bruce [Holmes as Emilio Pepperfinger] in, working out complicated martial arts routines shot from different angles, knives, training and makeup for the lovely-yet-deadly female leads, scouting indoor and outdoor locations for people to hold gunplay in, etc., etc. Somehow typical supermarket shoppers become uncomfortable having massive explosions triggered in the parking lot while screaming people run past their carts with automatic weapons. Plus I had to drink a six-pack of Dr. Pepper each day for six months so we had enough empty cans to throw stuntmen into spectacularly and decorate the set. That’s commitment.

Matt: Jerry Soules was an unusual, if not inspired, slightly inane casting choice for 007. How did you choose him for the coveted role of the sixth James Bond?

Dean: We thought, why go the usual route? Why not a Bond who wears eyeglasses? Plus, he fit the tuxedo we had found at a thrift store for $3, and he was the only one who would act on film for free. Jerry is a good friend and he did an excellent job as Bond, I think.

Matt: Savvy viewers can guess at some of the movie magic in “Pepper.” But there is a crucial dramatic moment in the trailer when Jerry as 007 fires his handgun in the snows of the “Arctic.” You have slowed down the frames to show the shells dislodging from his gun as Bond blasts away at the bad guys. How did you get blank firing replicas to portray so real on film?

Dean: Blanks? Oh no, that’s live ammo, baby! (On some shots at least.) I went to our local gun shops and pawnshops to purchase blanks, and they insisted that we fill out numerous trifling forms–quite discouraging! “Blank-firing guns are a pain,” they said. “But if you want real guns, no problem.” We just had to time carefully certain things, so that actors in supporting roles didn’t get their heads blown off when Jerry shot at or near them.

Matt: How did you deal with pressures on the set?

Dean: We consumed mass quantities of Starbucks Coffee each morning, as advertised in the Tasty Film Previews magazines. It was an added bonus that Austin Powers grabbed our idea, after the fact! The greatest pressures came when actors playing key roles quit the set. As mentioned in TFP, Robin Williams was chosen for a part in my next film for $11 million and points, but jumped out when we at BackBurner counter offered ten dollars as our best alternative. Pressure is a part of the movie-making industry, no doubt.

Matt: You didn’t just stop with a Bond movie, you made posters, action figures, a magazine, all type of fan consumption things, explain those. People think you are slightly insane, yes? Has anyone questioned your awareness of reality?

Dean: Most people think I am nuts, which I might agree with, but I enjoy making something that is not insane, something serious and artisan. In this case I have made a small-to-no-budget movie and created other forms of media to help parody, in an honorable way, a large budget Hollywood release. I spent four man-weeks building a set for the movie, and we made our own props and costumes, besides movie makeup, lighting, special video effects, soundtrack and stunts. More recently, I finished making an action figure of my friend Jerry Soules in his Bond role. I have had a talented friend, Hunter Hadaway, compose and record to CD the soundtrack for “Pepper,” and I am working on a making-of book that dwells on the humorous start-to-finish stories while making the movie together. All that, to most people, may be taking things too far, but to me that’s the fun of it. I just get very into making it look as though it’s a real movie, and the magazine [Tasty Film Previews] I think, shows that attitude the best.

Matt: Tasty Film Previews: Issues 1 and 2 were a hoot. Tell us more about the concepts involved?

Dean: In brief, a fellow movie-making friend of mine, Kyle Warnick, joined me in starting a production company, BackBurner Entertainment. [An ironic name, hailing from the many projects Kyle and Dean have idling always on their back burners.] We were both working on our own movie projects which friends would inquire about frequently, thus a small newsletter was birthed, with myself being a graphic designer–I went overboard by turning a four page newsletter into a full-blown 60-page magazine on glossy stock, with color cover! Now the mags have landed in the hands of people we don’t even know, which is interesting, I didn’t understand why people would care about the little world we were creating, but people seemed to think it was funny and right on target. Some people thought we were full of our selves for having a magazine all about us and BackBurner, but they fail to realize the origin of the mag, which bluntly serves as a job resume for a couple of hopeful film grad students!

Matt: The latest issue of Tasty Film Previews has a very abundant theme of Mr. Bond, is that a sign of things to come?

Dean: Actually yes, the latest issue of TFP focuses on our latest movie project, the full Bond spoof, which leads to one of my latest endeavors–a new underground Bondzine called “Largo”. I got a surprising, warm reception with the latest issue of TFP and thought it would be a good idea to do something that focused on Bond, nothing but Bond.

Matt: What exactly is under the covers of Largo?

Dean: Basically it will be an underground fan-made Bond magazine, only this mag will be much more humorous and light-hearted in scope. I don’t claim to be a Bond expert like you [Matt: “Who is claiming?” Laughter…] and therefore I don’t think my mag should be that direction. It will be a fanzine for Bond fans, there are a lot of very fine and serious Bond mags out there, I just want to do something a little different. TFP cost me about $6.50 per issue to get the look and feel I wanted, which basically means I’ve gone broke doing something just for the fun of it, which will probably happen with Largo as well–but I look ahead to fans enjoying the magazine.

Matt: What are some of your other projects?

Dean: I make a lot of homemade Bond wannabe items, not to sell but just as personal to-do projects. I just finished repackaging my entire set of soundtrack CDs into this cool box, which I created as a “complete set”. I re-did all the CD spines to display the gun barrel and gun logo when they are together in order, it looks like a very cool 007 boxed set. I also have other faux Bondian products on my pet list, such as a life size Jaws’ standee, but right now I am trying to finish the Bond movie in the editing room, which has fallen on bad luck, but all of that is in the latest issue of TFP.

Matt: Will “a Pepper for Tomorrow” meet the promised January 1, 2000 release date?

Dean: Hmmm, I’ll just say it’s not looking good at this point!

Matt: How can people see the great teaser trailer or the magazines you made for your Bond movie?

Dean: Well, unfortunately I’m still at work on the debut issue of Largo, and I have no idea when it will be finished, but if anybody is interested in the Pepper for Tomorrow teaser trailer or copies of the Tasty Film Previews mag they may certainly contact me. In fact, if anyone has something they feel might make a good entry for the Largo mag, send it to me and I’ll consider putting it in, after all it is a Bond fan mag! I hope to launch a website soon so fans may download the trailer and showcase the mags, and also showcase other fan-made material, but time has prevented me from so doing.

With the release date of the new Bond spoof “A Pepper For Tomorrow” already a thing of the past yet only a trailer out now at [actually, “Pepper” premiered at Bond Weekend III-Editors]…one begins to wonder…does this pathetic movie even exist? We’ve seen magazines, posters, action figures, DVD and CD covers advertising this no-budget gem (see related story linked below as “Collecting the BackBurner Productions of Bond) but there has been no sign of this fairly awkward movie itself.

Dean Williams, creator, producer, writer, director and head gaffer of this astonishing 007 project assures inquiring minds that there is in fact a movie in the making. Major production problems have altered the whole approach of the film, however. Quoth Dean, “I originally planned on making a full length 007 parody, but unfortunately I lost my two main actors mid-way through production, leaving me no other choice than to reformat and refocus the whole misbegotten project. Also, MGM/Danjaq moved our budget from fifty to fifteen million dollars. The new project is a making-of style documentary on the film that was to be, featuring behind-the-scenes action as well as the luxuriously appointed production designs, sets and finished scenes I was able to complete”.

007Forever fans eagerly await Dean’s new project, which is promising to be just as funny as the original movie idea if not better. I managed to catch up with Dean as he was arrested for trying to sneak into the Golden Globes. I asked him about the fate of his labor of love:

MATT: Last time we spoke you were hard at work on your latest movie project, “A Pepper For Tomorrow”. Update us on your progress?

DEAN: I don’t suppose you have a key to these handcuffs?

MATT: Sorry, old man…Golden Globes. I’m sure you understand.

DEAN: Hmmm. This is probably the first interview you’ve conducted in the back seat of a squad car. If you’re lucky you can take photos [Dean screams out the window in the direction of the gathering crowd. Sounds are heard of Dean beaten with nightsticks. A police officer opens the door.]

POLICEMAN: “Another outburst Mr. Williams, and we will be forced to hog-tie you.” [Police officer shuts the door and proceeds to contain the crowd, which is now chanting ‘Dean-o Dean-o!’]

MATT: [Flustered] What brings you to the Golden Globes tonight?

DEAN: Operation “Eagle Nest”.

MATT: ‘Scuse me?

DEAN: I was all tapped into their video system, ready to broadcast my Bond trailer for the world to see on those awesome big screens. when security caught me. I was going to play it right as Michael J Fox won his award.

MATT: How’d they catch you?

DEAN: I didn’t bring long enough cables so the nearest place to hide was the men’s room. I guess a person sitting on the bathroom floor with a VCR in his lap is suspicious?

MATT: How is your Bond movie coming?

DEAN: Not too well, I have run into some problems.

MATT: Like being arrested at the Golden Globes?

DEAN: No, my two lead actors left mid-way through production.

MATT: That’s terrible! Was it bad catering?

DEAN: What catering? It wasn’t a total surprise that they left actually.

MATT: Why? What happened?

DEAN: When I started the project Jerry had told me that they would be moving away at the end of the summer, [“Jerry Soules” as 007, Bruce Holmes as “Emilio Pepperfinger” and his spouse are from the East coast originally] giving me roughly three to four months to shoot the film, something I thought I could manage. Unfortunately Jerry and Bruce had to leave sooner than they had expected, leaving me only about two spare weeks to shoot the movie we had already started. Try that while working full time!

MATT: Why not get new actors?

DEAN: I had already started shooting some scenes with Bruce and Jerry, they were absolutely amazing, and I didn’t want to re-cast perfect work, besides no one else would do it. I also had another run-in with authorities trying to convince Roger Moore to come back for “just one more.” Can you hand me that pen, please? No, the sharp-pointed one.

MATT: Did the bad news of them moving sooner than expected discourage you?

DEAN: Well of course it did, [Dean begins to unscrew my pen with his bound hands] but they had to move for work related reasons, which I can certainly understand.

MATT: So they weren’t working for you?

DEAN: Well they were, the only difference is that their other jobs paid them.

MATT: So it was a money issue?

DEAN: No, more of a location issue, a person can only handle so much Seattle rain, why do you think I moved down here to California? [Dean begins to pick nervously at his handcuffs with a broken metal piece from my pen.]

MATT: Could it really be, Dean, because you were making an awful low- to no-budget Bond movie on a lame 8mm camcorder, with no crew? Is that why they left?

DEAN: If you want something done right you do it yourself. For example… [The hand cuffs pop open.]

MATT: Wow!

DEAN: And people think “MacGyver” was a pointless show.

MATT: What did you manage to shoot for 007, before Bruce and Jerry left?

DEAN: I did manage to shoot two important scenes with Bruce and Jerry together, the “Casino scene” and the “Confrontation scene,” both of which should turn out pretty good. Bruce and Jerry work very well together, they are very funny. I also managed to get a lot of stuff shot with Jerry as Bond, including an exciting shootout in the snow.

MATT: I heard about that, In fact I think it was Jerry who was complaining about your lack of safety on your set?

DEAN: No we are good friends, he enjoyed the action. Why, did he say something? Well, we had to use live ammo on some of our “shoots,” the gunplay in the “Arctic” snows being one of them. Believe it or not, it was harder to get hold of blanks than live rounds. Jay Snowden, my gun wrangler, and I shot 12-gauge shotguns at the snow for ricochet hits, we also shot live 9mm rounds for the muzzle flash on the Ruger. As crazy as that sounds, with some camera magic I was able to get the “shots” I wanted without anyone being remotely close to the weapons. Do not try this at home!

MATT: What did you do when you lost your two main actors?

DEAN: I crawled into a hole and watched Magnum PI reruns for a week straight. After that I got myself together and began sifting through the footage I had, to see if there was anything I could do with it. I came to the conclusion that a feature length movie was out of the question, I had poured too much of myself into this project to stop, so I decided to make it into a “Bond-u-mentary.” I definitely had enough footage to make an exciting teaser trailer for the movie, that is where I started.

MATT: The documentary sounds interesting. Well, not really. It sounds lame.

DEAN: Yes it does, doesn’t it? I had shot some interview stuff with Bruce and Jerry early in production, thinking I would make a small behind-the-scenes featurette. I decided to take that work and mesh it to the footage I already shot, add some new footage and thus create a small history of this jinxed project. It has a very funny twist to it, although most of it is true, it is done very sarcastically.

MATT: That’s putting it mildly, 007. From the footage I have seen it makes you look like a total idiot.

DEAN: That’s funny, people have been telling me that my whole life.

MATT: Tell us about the trailer we have uploaded online now, at 007Forever’s multimedia section under Videos?

DEAN: Well, I wanted to take some of the footage I managed to shoot and make a fast paced, hard driving trailer that would give a good idea of the concept I had when I started this whole project.

MATT: The trailer looks great, it definitely would have been an amazing movie.

DEAN: The trailer turned out remarkable, just as I imagined it. I was lucky enough to get the help of Jake Segraves who is an amazing editor, and also a friend of mine who I had worked with on my last movie. I like working with Jake because he will try anything no matter how time consuming or mundane my request may be. Also I gained the talents of Hunter Hadaway.

MATT: He did the music score for the trailer.

DEAN: Right, I wanted new and original soundtrack techno-style music for the trailer but with that familiar 007 sound. Hunter was able to compose some amazing stuff in just a matter of days. I hope to get him to compose the soundtrack for the rest of the project. But a big thanks to Jake and Hunter, those are the guys who helped make the footage I shot really come to life!

MATT: Are there any problems with copyrights with the Bond theme?

DEAN: All kinds! I would imagine MGM would skin me alive and use my flesh for employee wallets if I started pursuing this project as a financial gain. People forget that I did this project on my own, spent my own money and did it for no other reason than to make my friends laugh. It’s a fan made movie done on video, that’s it! The magazines, posters, DVD covers, all that is purely for my amusement, to make it look like a big deal. People always ask why I do this and I always give them the same answer…for fun, I love making movies!

MATT: You mentioned that you worked with Jake before?

DEAN: Yeah, I did a movie a few years back called Detonate, he was a huge reason behind me finishing that. In fact, Jake and I are recording a commentary track for the re release of Detonate, although not my finest piece of work it still has some funny parts.

MATT: What can we expect from you in regards to the Bond movie project?

DEAN: As much as I am bummed now, I didn’t have the time or money to finish the Bond project as a feature length film, I do plan on putting together the best “making of” documentary that I can, hopefully people will find a laugh or two at the Bond Collectors’ Weekend 2000.

MATT: I heard there were far more problems with production than just Jerry and Bruce leaving?

DEAN: Too many to mention.

MATT: Like what?

DEAN: I could go on and on about that, most of the disasters are in my latest issue of Tasty Film Previews, I still have a few magazines left if anybody is interested in one, or a copy of the trailer, they can contact me at BackBurner Productions…after I’ve posted bail…I guess.

MATT: Are you still working on the James Bond project?

DEAN: Yeah, I have spent too much of my hard earned time and money not to do anything with it, I figured out that I spent close to $350 on the underground set I built, all that for about 6 minutes of screen time, you better believe I’m gonna make something out of this. Right now, I’m planning out the documentary by sorting through the footage I have and trying to make all the pieces fit together. I also am trying to shoot a key scene involving Bond’s car and some “baddies” by cleverly using old footage of Jerry driving interspersed with close ups of the car, it should work pretty good.

MATT: In fact, you installed your own Bond gadgets on that car, right?

DEAN: Yeah, I made a few gadgets even Q would be proud of, and I think the choice of car should sum up the budget, or lack thereof!

MATT: Bond is driving a Geo Metro, right?

DEAN: Picture that. Tell me that doesn’t make you laugh.

MATT: It doesn’t, but I am sure many 007Forever fans would agree that .30 caliber front bumper machine guns mounted on a Geo is funny!

DEAN: It is, isn’t it.

MATT: As far as you know.

DEAN: [Searches his surroundings furiously.] Could you distract them while I make a run for it?

MATT: [Shouts aloud. Hey, officers, isn’t that Kevin McClory over there…]

“Mr. Bond has created a great deal of pain for me…extend him the same courtesy.”–A Pepper For Tomorrow Arch-Villain Emilio Pepperfinger

Gunfire, motorcycle and martial arts stunts, explosions and pumping cues from Hunter Hadaway’s score fill the stunning “A Pepper For Tomorrow” trailer, just released to 007Forever from Deano Williams Productions.

The incredible video, which rivals some of the best action and fun our favorite British agent has delivered over the years, is chock full of all that has been kept on BackBurner’s editing backburner since this incredibly and tortuously slothful movie production began ponderously sometime long ago. As Emilio and Mr. Bond themselves have quipped:

“Impressive.”

“It is, isn’t it.”

Did you know? Tens of thousands of dollars in collectibles are traded and shown off at every Bond Weekend.

Bonding In The Big Easy
…Last year’s New Orleans event was truly an event to “Live And Let Die For.” Bond girl Gloria Hendry joined super-villain Bruce Glover and all the fans in “The Big Easy,” along with legendary 007 guitarist Vic Flick, Timothy Moxon of “Dr. No,” Don McGregor and spy artist extraordinaire Jeff Marshall.

We toured New Orleans’ “Live and Let Die” locales and enjoyed the best jazz champagne brunch in the city, along the banks of the Mississippi.
The costume party of spies, femmes fatale and villains wound its way to Harrah’s Casino. Casino staff were confused…were our costumed folk staff members for or guests of the Mardi Gras Show?
A favorite pair of collectibles acquired at the Big Show in The Big Easy were a pair of shoes screen worn by the latest 007, Pierce Brosnan.

Did you know? Bruce Glover’s son, Crispin, made his most recent star turn as “The Thin Man” in “Charlie’s Angels.”

Vegas Lights The Night
…The second Collectors’ Weekend was dynamite with fans from 16 states and Canada in Las Vegas for all the action. Our memorabilia auction featured the very best in spy props and collectibles from the 1950’s through the ’90s.

Guest stars Don McGregor of “GoldenEye” and “The Quasimodo Gambit” and Lana Wood, “Plenty O’Toole” in “Diamonds Are Forever,” lit up our nights along with fireworks on the Vegas skyline.
Our tour group visited more than one dozen spy movie locations in Vegas, and generally made merry, dining in a private room at the 1,500 foot high Stratosphere Tower, and a “Diamonds” Aston Martin joined the fun!
-An oddball highlight of the Las Vegas event was a private tour given by the Mortuary Director of “Slumber, Inc.” where a certain British spy was nearly cremated.
Did you know? Bond Weekend II was Lana Wood’s first visit to Las Vegas since filming wrapped on her Diamonds appearance there in 1971.

First Of Its Kind
…The inaugural Bond Collectors’ Weekend was held August 28-30, 1998 in Gainesville, Florida and we could not have asked for a better group of spy collectors to share it with us!

We were pleased to have our event picked up by NY Times and ABC affiliates who spoke highly of the collectors’ collectors in attendance who gathered to remember Ian Fleming’s legacy and share their incredible memorabilia with the public.
We displayed a massive roomful of posters and ads, models, displays and standees including one-of-a-kind items worth thousands of dollars. The general public enjoyed taking photos and learning from the super-fans in attendance!
The fans thrilled to a private showing of an all-time spy classic in the 270-seat Reitz Theatre.
Did you know? Gainesville, Florida is home to swampy river settings you may recognize from 1979’s “Moonraker” and other great spy films.

Want to see Sean Connery filming his new picture on location this month? 007Forever has found marvelous contacts for checking out the latest Connery epic…”Finding Forrester” stars Connery alongside F. Murray Abraham of Amadeus fame, plus the lovely Anna Paquin (“Rogue” in the upcoming “X-Men” with Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen), “Busta Rhymes” and the redoubtable Joey Battafuoco. (!)

We began on Friday in the Big Apple, one of Mr. Fleming`s favorite “Thrilling Cities,” by meeting with Don McGregor, writer and reviewer on all things Bondian and creator of the Bond comix “The Quasimodo Gambit”, “GoldenEye” and the Tomorrow Never Dies trading cards sets. (Take thirty seconds today and log in with Fandom/Forever today for live chat with Don on Wednesday, June 14! Sign in under the button “Sign Me Up” under “Newsletter” or under “Chat”.)

On my way to the meet with Don, I nearly collided with former Clinton aide and author/commentator George Stephanopoulous. (I forgot to ask him if he is a Connery fan or likes Brosnan better.) After a few laughs on the current state of public transportation in NY, not helped in the least by Sean Connery`s latest, “Finding Forrester”, whose crew and fans are crushing the city, we jumped with a few friends into a cab to head to midtown, almost taking out Mr. Tony Randall, who wasn`t carefully watching the lights change before crossing the street. You can hardly swing a dead cat in NYC without hitting a celeb and we nearly struck two before the day started.

Disembarking from the taxi at Radio City Music Hall, where Don had James Bond throw villain “Quasimodo” off of the roof in “Gambit”, industry friends then gave us an incredible Backstage tour of the NBC Studios. We visited the S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-like control rooms of the building and all the major working sets at Rockefeller Center, including Inside the NBA, Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, Saturday Night Live in rehearsal where we literally bumped into Cheri Oteri and Molly Shannon (not on purpose, honest, I also knocked this week near Carol Kane and Peter Riegert), Dateline NBC, and much more, including a trippy run through the wardrobe of major Bond fan Conan O`Brien. (One of our marvelous tour guides edits Conan`s Bond spoof materials. Conan, of course, besides his late show, added countless references to Bond as a former head writer for The Simpsons.)

We enjoyed dinner in Manhattan and reminisced about Mr. Bond before viewing an incredible local Bond collection including a tuxedo worn by 007 himself to shoot his gunbarrel sequence, Octopussy`s most alluring outfit, two working Bond pinball machines and phenomenal memorabilia and taped 007 footage from around the world. (For my own collection, I tried on and off all week and was able to score a new Girls of James Bond edition hardback, a chocolate Bond Easter Egg filled with jellied tuxedo bowties, Forrester call sheets, a Slazenger golf ball that was a thoughtful gift from a friend, and exciting contacts for upcoming exclusive stories at Forever! I hereby admit that when sightseeing, I had the urge to steal from the Metropolitan Museum of Art like Brosnan did in Thomas Crown so I could mail it to art lover Bruce Glover, “Mr. Wint”, who was in the first “Crown acquisition” with Steve McQueen, but I didn`t, and I also passed on the first edition LALD offered to me in a third issue dustjacket for $2,750.00, thanks very much. Whew!)

Saturday dawned late with Bond chit-chat and lunch at Artie`s Deli, (what would 007 eat from a delicatessen?) and checking out the famous Mysterious Books and Murder Ink all afternoon, before hitting the streets to see the Forrester crew in action. Cast and crew trucks covered both sides of the long block in front of the NY Hard Rock Cafe. Connery`s camper on site bears the Pennsylvania license plate #XB-14737.

Although the occurrence of nights sweats may be the symptom of the extra significant physical circumstance, it may possibly also be the result of certain buy viagra deeprootsmag.org medicines you are taking. Do ensure that you don’t suffer from vertigo, because this restaurant is located on the 95th floor! Alinea Regulars have described Alinea in the following way: if Bobby Flay’s Bar American were a Coach bag, then the Alinea would be a one-of-a-kind alligator Hermes Birkin! The popularity of this restaurant has grown with each passing year, thanks to the efforts of Grant Achatz and his. It overworks the liver as the why not find out more cheap cialis detoxification process cannot match the pace of blood purification. The competitive Carriers Coalition (CCC) believes that high speed broadband in a highly competitive market should be a priority for policy makers. This week`s People magazine shows Connery`s picture from a Park Ave near 68th Street film shoot two weeks ago…One intrepid fan went to the Bronx neighborhood on a Sunday morning where they filmed on the previous Wednesday night, #299 East 158th Street, in the not-so-safe Melrose area. Around 10 a.m. he was there searching for the nearby small building used as Connery`s apartment when a drug dealer`s lookout/spotter was eyeballing him hungrily! He said, “No way I`m returning there if they shoot at night again, daytime yes!”

Interior work on 57th Street highlighted most of Saturday`s work, (last week featured principal work in a closed Yankee Stadium) but we were able to talk with the crew as they grabbed a late meal in front of Planet Hollywood before an all-night shoot. We then traveled to Trump Place high above the Hudson for snacks, archaic Coleco video games and TiVo before dinner, more Bonding and a very late night shootout at the famous Amsterdam Billiards.

**Tri-State area fans are excited to meet you all this month and enjoy the big SC on location himself! Tom Rossi is coordinating efforts and fan meets on location at Finding Connery Watch.

A normally reticent Mayor`s Film Bureau is giving out information without being bothered with press credentials since they are so busy. (Connery`s appearances have up to 200 press photographers from around the world near the filming at one time!) Finding Forrester`s local Columbia Pictures production office may also be reached at 212.462.1650. Another marvelous reference good for almost any NY-made picture is Radioman, an especially kooky but loveable character who hangs around every film shoot in New York, has been cast in several pictures and may have been a key inspiration for Robin Williams` nutty homeless fellow “Parry” in “The Fisher King”. “The Man” is friendly with Tom and has promised goodies from the shoot. Every NY crew loves him! Radioman`s hotline at 212.714.8045 is considered to be 80% accurate for daily updates on all NY shooting schedules for any film event. Finding Forrester has wrapped for now its work in Toronto, Canada, for what likely were exterior scenes of a private school`s campus, but is going strong all around the New York area this month! Send to us at 007Forever your photos, and anecdotes from the shoot!

**Many special and heartfelt thanks go to Bond fans and friends Alan Labouseur, Ben Licht, Don McGregor, Eric Varca, George McGuire, Janine Sherman, Paul Scrabo and George Ann Muller, and Tom Rossi for a rocking good time in the “Big A” with Bond! What better way to warm up for Bond Weekend 2000, the Weekend to “Live and Let Die For,” than a fans` gathering in Bond`s New York City to hunt down Sean Connery on location, who is “Finding Forrester?”

We had a blast at the recent Collectors’ Day in Gainesville, Florida at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Bond fan and Aston enthusiast Gordon Clement drove his silver birch beauty in from Atlanta to show to the several thousand in attendance at this annual event.

Many different collectibles were displayed at the big event, a showcase of personal collectors’ wares for the public. This year’s 007 table was no exception and was filled with excitement as we raced a model Aston and a BMW Z3 around the table and between onlookers legs for a thrill. Gordon brought Aston Martin collectors’ club magazines to the show, which he generously distributed to those in attendance. We set up numerous posters and 007 collectibles plus a TV with the latest DVD releases displaying both Bond films and deleted film scenes for the curious. Even some of the museum’s working volunteers stopped by for an hour or more to watch TV and chat with us during the event!

Outside, Gordon’s phenomenally beautiful DB5 shone in the sun, far and away the hit of the show of all the collectors’ vehicles on display. He generously allowed thrill seekers to examine the interior of the vehicle and even sit inside for special photos. Gordon had plenty of DB5 stories to share, from the time as a child when he rode in the most famous of the Goldfinger cars at breakneck speed, seated next to a car dealer rushing the DB to an event, to the rare event of passing other US Aston drivers on the street. (Apparently, Aston owners always pull over when they see each other on the highway to talk shop.)

Gordon has modified his DB5 for a low-suspension ride that is a real thrill if not downright reckless over speed bumps and around the curves. The Aston is fast. All our Bond group took turns riding shotgun or in the back of this beauty. “Most Bond fans are unaware of Aston Martin’s very lengthy history and racing successes even before the Bond films,” says Gordon. “Astons are incredibly well-designed, carefully crafted and unique works of art.”

This truly is an extremely normal buy cialis online unica-web.com issue confronted by guys, especially that have high individual employments , or those distressed from the chill and flu reliably .
The DB5 is simply a beautiful vehicle. Most fans upon seeing the little car in person, even after collecting scale models for years, are surprised at its stunning, provocative lines and sexy, sleek look. From head on in front or straight in back, the Aston seems like a mere small and sporty car. From the side, with its sumptuous looking and mega-wide aluminum panels, the car resembles something otherworldly between a gray battle craft for a navy and a streamlined deco fantasy vehicle of the 1930’s or ‘40s. In other words, the car neatly seems to transform its appearance as it makes a turn around a bend. The Aston is an always head-turning, amazing looking car. Gordon’s BMT 216 and British rear plate plus the car’s authentic silver color added still more to the experience.

A whole day was not enough to learn about the DB5. Bond collectible owners, look at your DB5 models. Did you know the Aston’s headlights are actually deeply recessed and the front eye lenses on the car’s lights are merely protective wind/rain screen covers? No details were forgotten in this prime example of a very fast car merged with the best luxury class car of its day. Numerous celebrities owned Astons before Bond drove one in Goldfinger and the DB5 is still at the pinnacle of pride for its lucky owners. We drove to my home after the event as a group. Gordon was offered six figures and more by a passing rare auto dealer who drove by in a Mercedes!

If you get a chance to see a DB5 in person, indeed any Aston (see related Bond Weekend 2 story) do it. Thanks to the fans who visited with us at the museum and all the Bond collectors in attendance. Special thanks to Gordon for putting many miles on his treasured Aston to share it with all the 007Forever fans. See you at the show next year!
