Craig? sometimes, Brosnan not so much. At least from a purist point of view.
LTK was already a movie made with leftovers, but after that there's almost nothing left.
Yes, we have Casino Royale and films loosely "inspired" by Fleming at best.
Thats not entirely true
Goldeneye was based on Moonraker
Tomorrow never dies was based on the spy who loved me (novel)
The world is not enough is based on for your eyes only (short story)
Die another day is moonraker again
Casino Royale is well casino royale
Quantum of solace is a weird mixture of that short story and live and let die
Skyfall is based on the man with the golden gun
Spectre is based on Octopussy and thunderball
And
No time to die is an adaptation of You Only Live Twice
All fleming works and yeah
Then NSNA is a truly faithful adaptation.
Who said it wasnt?
QoS is Moonraker again again
How so
Silva was Fleming’s Scaramanga
Yeah. You could say that. But I think SF is still a modern TWINE.
Some creative people can be a little weird and coo-coo. But peoplecl in her position, I'd expect them to reign in the creative people and be more focused.
Well, we were talking about an alternate universe of Bond films and that basically describes the last 30 years of movies.
Any minimal reference to Fleming seems huge now.
I mean with some minimal effort I could probably work it out, but that's not going to happen so I'm curious to know how TND is based on the novel TSWLM?
Well as we all know legally they cant adapt it however they have sort of adapted 3 times
1. The title and the character of Jaws in the spy who loved me
2. The big action sequence of the book is in for your eyes only
As for tomorrow never dies
I always felt Elliot carver was basically based on Kurt from the novel and paris was viviane
As we know from the novel Kurt was a paper boy Carver owns a media empire (which he started as a paper boy)
When vivian tells the reader why she slept with kurt “because he told me he loved me” when Bond asks Paris why she married Carver “because he told me he loved me”
Both paris and vivian talk about how bond sleeps with a gun under his pillow
Again this all could be coincidences and even now no one wants to be sued so i doubt Bruce would come forward and admit to adapting the spy who loved me but to me tomorrow never dies was always an adaptation of the spy who loved me and i felt like part of a secret club when i made those connections
A Bullet With Your Name
It's mentioned in the John Cork documentary. I can't remember offhand if it's touched upon at all in the Some Kind Of Hero book, but that at least tells me there must be some truth to it.
Love them!
I'm confused. What action scene is this? In the book, Bond shoots at the goons while they try to torch the motel; and in one scene he quick draws from his pillow to kill the remaining thug.
In For Your Eyes Only there's no such action scene: the helicopter chase, ski chase, beach run-in, submarine action, and final climbing climax have nothing (or very little) to do with Fleming. The Gonzales mansion raid, keel-hauling sequence and the Kristatos raid all adapt aspects, but from FYEO, LALD, and Risico respectively.
The goons try to get away bond takes stance shoots the wheel and i believe the car flies off the cliff
In the film bond pushes the car off the cliff
Admittedly, the car in TSWLM ends up in a lake, but Bond doesn't shoot them, and anyway the film is based on Risico anyway.
I kinda like Forever and Never. Sounds the same verbalized, but a bit of a subversion.
Yeah. It works too.
Very good indeed. I haven't read the book in years but these are excellent points and are certainly more than coincidental.
James Bond returns
