That's a good suggestion. Wonderful character from a great film!
But it's not surprising as the Flemings always have and likely always will be the main focus as it probably has to do with money and name recognition.
The Bond on Set books on QoS and SF are going for big bucks these days. I blame myself for not buying them at the time, although I did pick up QoS on eBay for a decent price. It would seem like less of a prospect to reprint any of those except in a limited run sort of thing as the demand would probably be low.
There have actually been way too many film Bond books out there in recent years. Many are just glorified photos books aimed at a general audience along with a few relevant entries like Some Kind of Hero. The one I would've most liked to see updated was the first in-depth look at the films, John Brosnan's James Bond in the Cinema. It came out in 1972 and updated in 1981. He wrote for Starburst Magazine for years but passed away a while back.
I’ve got all the Bond on set books from DAD to SP. They are great....but just mainly photos. The Bond archives is the bible of Bond.
I haven't seen the 90's films in many years, but should probably watch them again soon.
Yes, I really liked her character as well – and you're right, that sort of character would be great for Bond.

Oh I like her and that would have been interesting. Is there a thread for those who were rumoured or cast who didn't play their roles?
I think she was perfectly used as a tragic character.
The reason why YOLT wasn’t adapted faithfully was due to Maibium and Dahl claiming the novel had a very thin plot and needed a complete overhaul. Also the lack of a Japanese fortress by the sea gave rise to the volcano idea. Maybe they could have built a fortress on location, but I don’t think that the producers felt it was worth the expense and hassle when they could build a much better set at Pinewood and control the shooting schedule as they wished. I don’t disagree with your idea, I’m just giving the reasons why it wasn’t deemed possible at the time.
Thinking of A Clockwork Orange recently, it struck me that David Prowse would have made one hell of a henchman.
He was one of the candidates for the part of Jaws.
I wish he had been.
Agreed. Especially the scene in Bond's hotel.
@Remington
I nearly cried when I saw that scene as a special feature on the BR disc. I love it to death, no pun intended. Dalton conveys so much in his non-verbal performance as a vengeful Bond in that scene.
Same. Ironic that my favorite scene in LTK isn't even in the film.
