I was thinking about this too. CR could definitely be done to follow the book, by going as a period piece as PKK mentions above. The 2006 film definitely takes some liberties in expanding on the story. DN, FRWL, OHMSS, and TB...I don't know. FRWL, however does deal with Red Grants past, something the movie doesn't touch, so that could be interesting to see. TB was essentially written to be a movie, and was already done twice! I like the idea though of revisiting the ones that haven't been fleshed out though accurately in film. I think if the show could follow the books pretty much word for word, they would be different enough to be interesting.
You mean another reboot? After only 3 movies? The Craig era is just starting!
My point was, if you wanted a TV series there is no need to wait, just get one going now. It could even run alongside it and as I said, I prefer Bond where it is, so keep the films coming. Films over TV any day of the week.
But you could be right. Given to the right team, it would be nice to see the books done as TV period pieces. Could actually be very cool.
Slightly off topic but I would welcome the films making more use of un-used Fleming plots.
I like to think everyone would. There's a wealth of material out there to mine from should EON ever decide to.
I've never read the novels, but I do know that when they use elements of Fleming's work it usually raises the quality of the films markedly.
I actually quite enjoyed QoS, but it clearly suffered from the absence of a good Fleming storyline element, as did all the Brosnan films.
I wouldn't say a "wealth" of unmined material. I'd say there is some, notably the novels YOLT and TMWTGG, the short story FAVTAK, and bits and pieces of the rest.
'Do you think we are doing too many theses'
In all seriousness, I can't decide about the last one, I'm not really one for the novels, It's mainly films of Bond for me, it seems like a good idea but a little unnecessary at the same time. I'll say no for arguments sake, disagree with thesis even
Babes, bullets and bombs.
Some some very good action scenes and even villains to bring in. There's a lot there, I stand by that, should EON want to use it.
The image of a true badass. Duke Nukem Forever! (see what I did there ;) )

Nah I'm jokin. Agree
That doesn't look like Sean...
The easiest thesis yet. AGREE. Thanks to the mods and members for making this such a special place to come to everyday! <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P
And Happy Birthday this thread <:-P
What i mist the moost is the option to look back to older messages from the years between 2002-2011. With 2001 include it be 10 years what be trown a way kind of. Whyle get sometimes the feeling (the last 2 years or something) i don't know what kind of way the old forums must go and where i at my self, i mis the creative of older threads to start new ones.
The draft option of this new mi6forums is the best new thing of this forum and mabey some new members.
Is there another Bond forum?
I can only agree with this thesis.
I believe there are some that serve breakfast and all, but the membership requirements are somewhat obscure for simple folks like the lot of us, so I don't think we ought to pursue a career as mods over there. ;-)
