ALHOLK Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi! How about Mick Jagger How about Keith Richards. After drinking lashes of vodka martini for 30+ years bond should look something like that. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Ah, somebody else remembers Woody Allen as Jimmy Bond. :: More likely than Jane Bond is a politically correct black James Bond (Eddie Murphy?) or an Hispanic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 personally i don't really care who is the new Bond,i've never been a big Fan of the Franchise. but i hope they do what they are promising and make Casino Royale faithful to the Book. i've read all the Books and the Screen Bond is rather different to the Bond on paper. let's hope that the new Bond is a little closer to the one written about by Fleming.........

dean Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Fleming is an interesting character. Having been in the British secret Service during WWII, he moved to Jamica ( too bad he didn't move to Bangkok or Hong Kong instead; the Bond series would definately have a different slant; no pun intended). I guess that from 1955 to the sixties, the Bond books were an overwhelming commercial sucess (but critically panned). I think that he felt that he lost his "baby" when he sold the movie rights. I believe that he wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" also. I wouldn't have too much hope in the producers following the tone of the books, however. I just looked up "Chitty" and found out that the musical was produced by the Broccalli family. I guess when they bought Fleming's rights, they bought the rights to everything that he wrote.

sayjann Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 there have been several Bond Books since Fleming died. written by different Authors and i don't think any one of them had the commission to write them. haven't read any of them but i hear they have been written to suit the current climate,updated.

ALHOLK Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi! I read one of them a long time ago just after Ian died. If I recall correctly it was an Austrailian author. I may have been Kingsly Amis but I don't remember. He wrote it with the permission of those who inherited the rights to the Bond books. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I just looked Kingsley Amis up on Google. He was apperently English and not Australian. He did however write the Bond book "Colonel Sun" in 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
