Nybro räcker inte till – James Bond om filmfestivalen på Nya Zeeland Barometern/OT

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.

independent filmmakers found hundreds of real James Bond’s on Google, Facebook, Twitter and

Linkedin before traveling the world to film those whose lives had been forever changed – for

better or worse – due to sharing a name with the world’s most famous secret agent. They say of

James Bond 007 that “men want to be him and women want to love him” – the film will discover

if this is true, or whether having the most famous name in the world is really a nightmare.
