Bond, James Bond. The iconic name of the legendary character was found by author Ian Fleming in 1952 by an unsuspecting birdwatcher. 60 years later, Matthew Bauer sets off on a mission to discover what it’s like to be called James Bond in reality. He meets people from all over the world who go through life with the world-famous name: a Swedish 007 superfan, a gay theater director, an African-American accused of murder. What starts as a light-hearted examination of namesakes becomes an engaging reflection on masculinity, gender and race in the shadow of a film icon.

THIS FILM IS PART OF…

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE CALLED JAMES BOND: The film ”Some Other Character” closed the Documentary Film Festival DOK #5

James BondThe realization of ”Some Other Character” by director Matthew Bauer closed the fifth edition of the international festival of feature-length documentary film DOK #5.

”Some other character” (The Other Fellow) answers one question: Is it even possible to be called James Bond? The film follows the exploration of identity through the lives, personalities and adventures of a diverse group of men, real men around the world who share the same name – James Bond.

”I am very delighted that we will have the Serbian premiere of the film at the closing of the DOK festival. I am grateful to our distributor MCF MegaCom Film for helping to make this happen and for allowing me to come present my film to one of my favorite parts of the world. Unfortunately, there are no Serbian men named James Bond in the film, but if someone reads this and wants to come to the premiere, I will treat them to a martini,” said Matthew Bauer, the author of the film, on the occasion of the premiere at the festival.

At the closing of the festival, there will be awards and prizes for the best. As part of the competitive selection, two prizes will be awarded: the audience award and the audience jury award, which is made up of three film fans who will vote for the best debut film.

The fifth DOK #5 documentary film festival took place from February 2 to 5 in the Mts Dvorana.

A Bunch of James Bonds The idea for this documentary is most original. Take a look at the trailer for Matthew Bauer’s THE OTHER FELLOW. With Swede Gunnar James Bond Schäfer

A Bunch of James Bonds

 I wish I had come up with the idea for this new documentary. It begins by taking us to Goldeneye, Jamaica in 1952. We see a middle-aged man sitting at his typewriter, typing with a purpose and a passion. He is famed novelist Ian Fleming, the writer who gave us the world’s most famous secret agent — James Bond. In archival footage, we learn from Fleming that he got 007’s name from the author of a book about birds.

Then we hear from a group of different real men who have the same name — James Bond. The group includes a New York City theater director, a helicopter pilot, a computer programmer, a preacher, an oilman and an inmate. One tells us that having the name James Bond is ”a blessing and a curse.”  He wasn’t kidding. We see how the name got the theater director a guest spot on David Letterman’s late night NBC show and we see how it got a Black man accused of murder. A Swedish man, whose father was German, took on the name in Sweden to deal with the paternal abandonment he experienced in his boyhood.

The stories are all fascinating. We hear from the ornithologist whose name was given to a fictional spy known for his hyper-masculinity and his license to kill. Produced, directed and co-written by Matthew Bauer, this documentary is called THE OTHER FELLOW. This feature takes us on an an interesting and surprising international trip. Some scenes are understandably reenacted or restaged — like the ones involving a British mother who used the name to help her flee and survive a physically abusive marriage.

We also hear how the Bond name effected news coverage and racial attitudes, especially when fans suggested Idris Elba as a new 007 to follow Daniel Craig.

The cases of mistaken identity, masculine expectations and having the same name as a make-believe super-agent of print and film are often as exciting and intense as an actual James Bond movie. The idea for this documentary is most original. Take a look at the trailer for Matthew Bauer’s THE OTHER FELLOW.

The Other Fellow : le documentaire sur les personnes s’appelant James Bond

Their names are Bond, James Bond, and it is sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse, to have to share the same surname as a famous fictional character on a daily basis. The Other Fellow is a 1h20 documentary directed by Matthew Bauer, released this year, which has the original concept of telling what people named James Bond can experience. Some sounds born with the surname, others have become so by choice.

The Other Fellow: New ‘James Bond’ Documentary A Must-Watch For Men In 2023

The Other Fellow: New ‘James Bond’ Documentary A Must-Watch For Men In 2023

What’s in a name?

18 January 2023 by James Booth

The Other Fellow is a must-watch not just for James Bond fans, but for any man with an interest in male identity in 2023.


The Other Fellow is set to be an essential watch for every man in 2023. It isn’t, as you might think, being dubbed a ‘James Bond’ documentary, a documentary about 007, Daniel Craig or one of the other Bonds from a bygone era. It’s a documentary about what it’s like to share the name with the franchise’s lead character. In other words: it’s a documentary about what it’s like to be called James Bond, without being the James Bond.

It’s a quirky concept, but one that has gone down well with critics who have seen advanced showings. The documentary’s info page describes itself as “An energetic exploration of male identity via the lives, personalities and adventures of a diverse band of real men across the globe who all share the same name: James Bond.”

Peter Gray from the Au Review said of The Other Fellow (via Rotten Tomatoes): “Funny and poignant, [Matthew] Bauer’s lens feels welcomingly progressive and, most importantly, laced in a relatability and humanity that isn’t always afforded by the character’s incarnation.”

James Croot from Stuff.co.nz likewise said: “A fascinating look at the trials, tribulations and potential opportunities of unexpected and unwanted fame in the age of social media.”

In terms of the plot, the documentary is about an exploration of the lives of a bunch of men from around the world called James Bond. There’s a Swedish James Bond super fan with a World War two past, a gay New York theatre director and an African American man accused of murder.

The Spotlight Report writes of The Other Fellow’s main characters: “Their stories are a mix of sad pasts, career and social frustration and the occasional happy embrace of the moniker.”

“You’d probably think it’s thin gruel for an entire feature-length documentary, but through the use of well staged reenactments and genuinely interesting content, Bauer actually leaves you wanting more.”The Spotlight Report

Rat World, in its review, wrote: “This is a documentary about hyper-masculinity, identity and the strange phenomenon of cultural icons.”

“Bauer has done a terrific job of creating connections and links between, what could have been, several disparate interviews. I was actually a little worried about reviewing this film because, admittedly, I am not a James Bond fan. But, this is not a James Bond documentary.”Jennifer Cheuk, Rat World

All up, The Other Fellow is ambitious, heart-string pulling and revelatory. Thanks to the sharp eye of Australian director Matthew Bauer, the documentary rakes over the coals (in a loving and insightful way) what it means to be a man living in the shadow of the name of a cinematic icon, and lets the audience come to their own conclusions. The Other Fellow will be released on February 17th, 2023. You will be able to watch it on SBS On Demand.

A bikini has changed hands in Dallas for $240,000. The cult two-piece suit that Ursula Andress wore in a James Bond film almost ended up in a German museum.

A bikini has changed hands in Dallas for $240,000. The cult two-piece suit that Ursula Andress wore in a James Bond film almost ended up in a German museum.

The famous bikini that Ursula Andress wore in the first Bond classic ”007 hunts Dr. No” (1962) missed the move to Baden-Württemberg by $10,000: At the ”Hollywood Swinging” auction in Dallas, the BikiniArtMuseum from Bad had Rappenau included. In the end, however, the ivory-colored cult bikini was accepted by an unknown person who offered 10,000 dollars more.

He bought the two-piece for $ 240,000 (around 226,400 euros). ”We had an upper limit of 230,000 dollars (around 217,000 euros),” said Severin Schuler, spokesman for the BikiniArtmuseum, on Sunday. The museum fought for the extraordinary piece and was ahead a total of five times. ”We are aware of the value of the bikini,” said Schuler. If the museum had been awarded the contract, commission and taxes would have been added to the 217,000 euros. The rarity would then have cost a little under 300.00 euros.

Most recently, the museum north of Stuttgart bought a two-piece suit and bras from the singer Amy Winehouse. It was awarded $4,000 for a bathing suit worn by actress Liz Taylor in 1957. Also on display at the museum is a gold two-piece suit by bikini inventor Louis Réard, and two bikinis worn by film stars Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot. More than 400 Hollywood rarities were auctioned off at Heritage Auctions Saturday night.
