Continuation authors of course should write in their own style, that's a given, however, they must be faithful to the character with the odd little tweak here and there to harmonise with the time period and the audience at the time. Gardner did this…

Personally, I think such outfits like IFP should pay a certain amount of attention to what the fans desire. Look at the makers of Superman Returns (I know it wasn't generally regarded as a good film but not because it wasn't a reboot). The fans and…

Bond can be updated easily for today too I feel, with the odd subtle change, while keeping the essential character intact. It's only really the chauvenism and racism, which arguably weren't really such, in the golden days of Fleming's Bond anyway, t…

New authors can write in their own style of course. One would expect it and in many cases hope for it, although in Deaver's case it just fell flat in parts. However, continuation authors need to understand that one has to be faithful to the essent…

@SaintMark "If only that were true with Adele we got a great title song, the likes we did not have the last ten years or since Aha with TLD." It's testament to the fact that hiring well knowns often doesn't work. They want to be too original …

Well, if this Henchman will be portayed in the same light hearted tone as Jaws, then it's pretty clear the unfortunate direction this film is going to take. I'm not saying they will but who knows. @PanchitoPistoles "Let's move forward instead …

In terms of who I wouldn't want to write adult Bond, I definitely wouldn't want Faulks, Deaver or Benson! Bring back John Pearson! The last book he wrote was in 2010. He's only 83. Plenty young enough providing he's in good health.

I'm being very careful not to read the other comments on this thread for fear of spoilers. :) This Austrian town looks very beautiful. A great location for a Bond film. Looks just as beautiful as Sweden so that's okay. Although, we have seen v…

I liked how the Bond theme wasn't used too often. If one hears it to often it takes you out of the film somewhat as it's such an iconic, well known tune. I think it's best to keep the Bond theme to a minimum. Play it with the gunbarrel of course …

Having a slow instrumental of SF in the movie would have been wonderful and just like Barry would have done. Also, why do they no longer play a nice ballad or the theme song again over the end credits anymore? Damn I miss the good old days. I wo…

@timmer Higson IMO is writing an alternative pre-Fleming timeline. I'll stick with what Pearson published in 1973. IFP really should have insisted that Higson make his YB consistent with the Pearson narrative. After all Glidrose also commissione…

"The only continuation novel that I consider a superior work, and very much in the Fleming style is the Pearson book. I love that book! Not only a great read, but the perfect compliment to the Fleming oeuvre." @timmer I agree whole heartedly.
