The one interesting point I didn't actually know was that apparently Bond is the only film franchise among the TOP 5 in earnings that doesn't have any kind of Spin-Off. The other 4 they list are MCU, Star Wars, Harry Potter (Wizarding World) and Spider-Man.
Screen Rant: James Bond's First Recasting Was Almost Explained By Plastic Surgery.

Old story about the plastic surgery to explain the first change in Bond. Later re-used for Blofeld in DAF.

Digital Spy: Crazy Rich Asians' Henry Golding responds to James Bond rumours.

Some interesting excerpts:
On James Bond: The Authorised Biography: "The way I approached that book was straightforward. My opinion is not terribly original, which is that James Bond was the alter ego of Ian. And having written a book about Ian I was superbly placed to write about James Bond. There were lots of biographical details about Bond that Fleming had left out that I was able to fill in. Some of this is now part of the perceived canon. I’ve often been asked why I chose 11 November 1920 as James Bond’s birthday. I wrote that book when I was 42, and I felt at the time, James Bond had to be 10 years older than me, coupled with the fact that Armistice Day was and is an important date...Rather like Ian, I wrote this book swiftly. I knew Ian’s backstory inside out and it was a quick step to flesh out Bond. I had a bit of fun exposing him to KCS Wimbledon, my own school."
On being asked by Glidrose to write another Bond novel: "I was asked but I was absolutely not going to do another James Bond novel. I had got that out of my system."
On Andrew Lycett's 1995 Fleming biography: "I have nothing much to say about the Lycett biography. Nicholas Shakespeare is currently writing a new biography commissioned by Ian Fleming Publications. I like Nick and in fact, worked briefly with his father on The Times Literary Supplement. I think he is going to take his time on the project and I will wait and see what Nick comes up with. He is a skilled writer and I think Ian would have liked him."
"James Bond: The Authorised Biography:" in years.
Must give it another read.
So...does anyone else recall anything about it, please ?

Fleming adjusted Bond's age throughout the books to keep him at roughly the same age throughout, so Pearson would have had a job to make it all fit together perfectly. And Pearson's book had the perfect excuse for this in its main conceit: Fleming was supposedly writing about a real guy called James Bond and just got some of the details wrong! :)
Higson's Young Bond had a bit of fun with one bit of Fleming's contradictory continuity: Fleming had altered the dates so much in one book that it meant that the date he had previously given for Bond buying his Bentley would have put him at 13 years old or thereabouts. So Higson had Bond buy the Bentley at 13 and explain how that might happen! :)
I guess I need Bond to be drinking and " Romancing " in an adventure. ;)

Goodwood is not in Cheshire, it's nowhere near Cheshire. They can't even get basic facts right, I hate that paper.

Peculiar to see how the papers will make a story out of comments made sometimes years ago.
That sounds fun!
