Announcing a new sort-of Bond movie in 2013

Hi Ajb,
My name is Matt, long time Bond fan and documentary filmmaker from Sydney, Australia. Am writing to show you a preview of a documentary I am shooting called "The Other Fellow" about real men around the world named James Bond and how the popularity of the films and the character has affected their lives. It was shot in the leadup to the release of Skyfall, a period that heavily effects the day to day life of these real James Bond's.

The title comes from George Lazenby's famous line in OHMSS "this never happened to the other fellow" - said in reference to his more famous predecessor Sean Connery. For the Bond's in our film this seemed appropriate, living in the shadow of their famous alter ego.
We have ten Bond's from around the world who have had to deal with numerous Seinfeld-style problems (being banned from Facebook, dealing with the police, airport security and waiters) as a result of the name as well as more serious topics such as a James Bond in the Caribbean who was targeted and shot by the local police force - "the Guyana police still joke about it, they did what the KGB, the Russians, the Germans and everyone else was trying to do for years - shoot James Bond".
Anyway please check out the trailer, its been a real labor of love and look forward to releasing the film in 2013!
Sincerely,
Matthew Bowyer

Is is going to get a cinema release?
Why can't I make cool films like this?!
I've got so many cool things kicking around and I'd love to make some kinda showreel of them, but I aint got this guy's level of skill in that dept.
Maybe when I get a little time on my hands someone can help me out do one?
In the mean time, I can't wait to see the finished product of 'The Other Fellow'.
theotherfellow; have you got a subscribers list for people to add their addresses to for updates? I'd like to know when this available and how to get it, but I don't do that Facebook thing so I can't 'like' you or anything

If there was a real Ernst Blofeld I think I'd wet myself.

Thanks, but I don't 'do' Facebook, hence the request for a mailing list

I'm already a fan on Facebook. From a fellow Bond fan and filmmaker I must say
your trailer looks brilliant! I LOVE the concept and absolutely can't wait to see it!
Do you have a release date set? Any plans for a UK premiere?
This was my go in the world of 007, a bond inspired music video:
