No that marked the cinematic debut of Ian Fleming's British superspy initially played by Sean Connery to the most recent in No Time to Die (2021), the final of the Daniel Craig regime The documentary will include interviews mixed with the Bond archive material MGM previously worked with Ventureland and Eon on another project in[...]

Ian Fleming created the character in the 1950s, just as the British Empire was on the wane Bond was the "blunt instrument of England." He was racist, sexist, misogynistic, and a rapist The movies watered down the racist part, and by the 1970s, the misogynist and rapist parts were erased entirely Bond became a symbol[...]

This is why James Bond cannot be as racist, misogynistic, or rape-y as he is in the original Ian Fleming novels (or the Sean Connery movies) now Every Bond movie has reflected the trends and preoccupations of its era, including the funky affectations of the 1970s during Roger Moore's first Bond movies and even the[...]

Ian Fleming, the author of the Bond novels, hired Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham to collaborate on an original screenplay Fleming then adapted the screenplay into the novel Thunderball, publishing it without any attribution to Whittingham and McClory, who then sued After settling out of court, the novel Thunderball was attributed to being based on[...]

Except that if you read Ian Fleming's original novels, you'll discover that Bond is actually a horrible, horrible man. Daniel Craig as James Bond, MGM James Bond is a Scumbag The Bond of the movies is a debonair man of action and seducer of women mostly from his depiction by Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan[...]

I want to talk about who played him best in what we've already seen. It's been over 60 years since Ian Fleming created James Bond, and there have been plenty of famous faces attached to play the suave secret agent since his cinematic debut Sean Connery was the first face of Bond, sauntering his way into[...]

Actor Hervé Villechaize's (Peter Dinklage) life and the circumstances that led to his story being told are on display in HBO Films' My Dinner with Hervé.

It is based on the very first James Bond novel written by Ian Fleming, long before Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig Before the ejector seats and exploding pens, there was a secret agent and a mission. Dynamite has sent us an essay, written by Jensen where he addresses[...]

It looks like the next new Bond, James Bond story we'll be getting won't be on film, but rather a good old fashioned novel.  Author Anthony Horowitz is apparently working on a prequel novel to the first Ian Fleming Bond story, "Casino Royale". Horowitz's story titled "Forever And A Day" is authorised by the Fleming Estate (the Guardian[...]

The editor Nate Cosby and I volleyed ideas back and forth, and after some input from the fine folks at Ian Fleming Publications LTD, what started as sort of an inconsequential bit led me to a better solution for how to arm 007 while on his unofficial mission in Paris. The idea to switch over to[...]

The Dynamite Entertainment presentation at the Diamond comic book retailer summit taking place in Chicago right had plenty to show off regarding the many comic books they publish, from Betty Page to Mighty Mouse to the Sovereigns.

Dynamite is moving on to their second original story arc for James Bond, but now the company is announcing a graphic novel adaptation of Ian Fleming's original James Bond novel, Casino Royale Van Jensen (The Flash) will be writing the script with Matt Southworth (Amazing Spider-Man) doing the art chores. "There's a very obvious reason why[...]

When Craig took on the role there was a lot of talk about how he was more violent and thuggish than the previous actors and fit the character created in the Ian Fleming novels better Having gone back and read a few including the original, Casino Royale, there is some truth in that. With in the[...]

He talks about the Bond in his comic. This is a commission via the Ian Fleming estate, and is very specifically the Bond of the books, not the films If you're an aficionado of the books, consider this, even though it's set in contemporary times (because neither I nor the estate wanted to do period pastiche),[...]

And only covers work based on the Ian Fleming version of James Bond, rather than the film versions No Sean Connery Bond for you, not even in Canada And Blofeld may not have a white cat… So, yes, Dave Sim could if he wanted, publish James Bond comic books It's just that most of us wouldn't[...]

Contrast all this to the granddaddy of the spy franchises, James Bond.  The novels themselves are not only invaluable cultural artifacts of Cold War pulp, but were records of Ian Fleming's own sexual and materialistic obsessions, with kinks, sadism, social attitudes and sheer weirdness permeating the pages Even now, each new Bond movie continues to[...]
