520    The first biography of the making of the James Bond series,
       drawing on hundreds of unpublished interviews with the 
       cast and crewFor over 50 years, Albert R. Broccoli's Eon 
       Productions has navigated the ups and downs of the 
       volatile British film industry, enduring both critical 
       wrath and acclaim in equal measure for its now legendary 
       James Bond series. Latterly, this family-run business has 
       been crowned with box office gold and recognized by motion
       picture academies around the world. However, it has not 
       always been smooth sailing. Changing tax regimes forced 
       007 to relocate to France and Mexico; changing fashions 
       and politics led to box office disappointments; and 
       changing studio regimes and business disputes all but 
       killed the franchise while the rise of competing action 
       heroes displaced Bond's place in popular culture. But 
       against all odds the filmmakers continue to wring new life
       from the series, and 2012's Skyfall saw both huge critical
       and commercial success, crowning 007 as the undisputed 
       king of the action genre. Some Kind of Hero recounts this 
       remarkable story, from its origins in the early 1960s 
       right through to the present day, and draws on hundreds of
       unpublished interviews with the cast and crew of this 
       iconic series.
