How about the Ian Fleming profile/history....instead of the "new" hollywood rebootBond....then maybe we'd know what the AUTHOR wanted instead of some lame interpretation by a screenwriter/producer..... 5  out of 11 found this valuable. Do you?

which parts of this profile are from the reboot. most of it looks to me like it was taken from pearson's "biography". given that perason is fleming's biographer, i'd imagine that the information follows more closely flemings vision than the film directors. if you see something in there you think is inaccurate or if you'd like to create a page for a more "official" profile, register and do so. i'm not really sure how much of bond's past is aluded to in the films anyway. Do you find this valuable?

Unfortunatly not much in the movies....but Bond born in 1968????? If thats the case,how'd he serve as a commander in WW2? This seems to be a way to link 007 to the Casino re-boot by making him the proper age. Much of the other info is from "Fleming" tho'. the parents,childhood,Aunt,education....but still the timeline is adjusted for "now". Do you find this valuable?

Interestingly after reading the books what struck me was that, although Bond was certainly a vengeful literary figure, he was also someone extremely loyal to the British service. Therefore I don't think Fleming's Bond would have ever gone rogue and disobeyed his superiors to persue his own vendetta. He would always wait for the opportunity for revenge to COME TO HIM (via a mission). For example in the YOLT book Bond is devestated after his wife's death but it is only when he finds out his next mission will involve Blofeld that he starts thinking of possible vengence. It is this that drives him through the mission. This is where LTK and QoS deviate from the books in my opinion (I hasten to add that LTK is a great film nonetheless. Its just deliberatly going against his service is not something I imagined the original Bond doing) 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
