James Bond magazine MI6 Confidential has produced a limited edition called Live and Let Die: The Peter Lamont Portfolio, and fans can now order copies signed by Academy-Award winning production designer Peter Lamont- while supplies last! From the press release: In 2017, after ten years of service, MI6 Confidential introduced a new special format: a limited-run 100-page issue of the magazine taking a deep dive into one particular facet of the franchise, rather than the smorgasbord of filmic, literary, comic and gaming features fans have come to expect from a standard issue. The first special issue was contributed by art department veteran Peter Lamont. Peter Lamont spent more the 40 years working in art departments of the James Bond films. From draughtsman to production designer; from Goldfinger to Casino Royale, Peter was on every picture but one. One of the films for which he has collected a great deal of documents and has many fond memories is Roger Moore's debut as 007, Live And Let Die. A lot of that material could not be squeezed into his recent autobiography so Peter came to MI6 Confidential with an offer too good to refuse. In this special 100-page edition of MI6 Confidential magazine, Peter tells the story of making the film, location by location, as they appear in the film. It is lavishly illustrated with rare stills from the film, behind the scenes photographs never committed to print and notes and storyboarding from Lamont's personal collection. Let our friend and Bond verteran be your guide to the eighth official Bond adventure and Sir Roger Moore's first." Visit MI6 Confidential for more information.
