of the Devil / Quand on parle du Diable</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <span face="Arial, sans-serif">Analyse
et appareil Critique </span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">En
2008 à l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance d'un certain Ian
Lancaster Fleming les éditions rares Queen Ann Press avaient sorti
une intégrale de l'oeuvre romanesque et journalistique de l'auteur
en 17 tomes , collection à laquelle avait été adjoint comme appât
un tome supplémentaire</span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> inédit</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> intitulé </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">' Talk of the
Devil '</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> ( l'un des titres de travail envisagé un temps par
Fleming himself pour son roman </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Les Diamants sont Eternels</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">A
l'époque impossible de pouvoir lire l'ouvrage en question à moins
de se payer donc l'intégralité de la collection ;</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Collection
imprimée à un nombre restreint d'exemplaires et vendue
immédiatement à des prix stratosphériques ( pour exemple :
plus de … 20 .000 dollars chez un libraire spécialisé
américain) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Impossible
dans ces conditions de pouvoir bien en</span>tendu espérer un jour pouvoir
feuilleter le fameux tome ' bonus ' - qui acquis ainsi très
rapidement une réputation de Grââl littéraire parmi les cercles
de collectionneurs et les fans …</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Cette
réputation est-elle méritée ?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Grâce à
l'aide d'un proche ami écrivain d'outre-Atlantique , j'ai enfin
réussi à mettre la main sur cet ouvrage – à un prix décent .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Je vous
livre ici mon analyse<i> partielle</i> du livre .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Tout
d'abord une question métaphysique cruciale : faut-il publier
des œuvres posthumes de grands auteurs ?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Je
citerais ici Bernard de Faloy , ami et biographe de Marcel Pagnol,
qui explique dans la préface du <i>' Temps des Amours '</i> que ce
serait se priver d' oeuvres parfois peut-être pas impérissables
mais offrant néanmoins une ultime facette du talent de leurs
rédacteurs .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Analyse
à laquelle j'adhère personnellement complètement … Quand
l'ouvrage en question se justifie pleinement . </span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Ce qui
hélas à mon sens n'est pas du tout le cas de cette collection
d'articles signés de la main de Fleming – qui n'avaient pour la
plupart que vocation à être publiés dans diverses feuilles de
choux et magazines de façon ponctuelle .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">La
première impression que j'ai eu en parcourant sa table des matière
est que l'ensemble est en effet parfaitement hétéroclite – et que peu de
pages évoquent en fait la création-phare de l'auteur ( ce qui peut laisser l'amateur ès 007 sur sa faim très rapidement ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">On a
droit par exemple à des articles tirés de divers carnets de voyage - type <i>' Thrilling Cities ' </i>( dont
un compte-rendu des plongées sous-marines au large de Monaco avec le
futur Commandant Cousteau . Pages certes sympathiques mais qui
seraient plus à leurs places comme commentaire dans <i>le Monde du
Silence</i> ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Un autre
article intitulé malicieusement<i> ' Bang Bang Kiss Kiss - how I came to write </i>' ( qui tord
le cou à la légende voulant que cette appellation ait été imaginée par le public italien des premiers films ) est bien plus intéressant
car Fleming y décortique vraiment le processus de création qui l'a
amené à rédiger </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Casino Royale</i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> ( puis à jeter le tout au
panier avant qu'un de ses amis éditeurs ne demande à lire le
manuscrit … ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Enfin
l'ouvrage se clôt par une analyse plutot fine de Fleming sur l'avenir
de la … Télévision, laquelle de son point de vue devrait sans
conteste devenir le media numéro un du milieu du vingtième siècle
« à condition d'offrir des programmes intelligents et de
qualité » ( ehm … ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">On y
trouve aussi au fil des pages la retranscription de l'échange épistolaire entre
Fleming et l'armurier Boothroyd ( échange que j'avais moi-même
reproduit en addenda de mon bouquin consacré à l'arsenal de 007 – ouvrage qui n'a hélas toujours pas trouvé d'éditeur repreneur à ce jour ) , qui avait déjà été
proposé aux lecteurs du magazine du fan-club 007 américain dans les
années 80s .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Un
échange dont Fleming utilisera presque verbatim quelques phrases
lorsqu'il rédigera la scène de changement de pistolet dans le
bureau de M pour Dr No !</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Lacune fort regrettable également : l'absence de <i>sources</i> des écrits . Hormis une introduction plutot légère signée de Fergus Fleming - </span>le petit-fils officiel de qui-vous-savez - et d'un autre quidam , pas la moindre indication de<i> l'origine</i> des textes en question ...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Bref ,
pour faire court , j'ai trouvé perso que ce ( gros ) volume de 401
pages n'apportait en fait pas grand-chose de plus à la gloire
littéraire de Ian Fleming , et je m'étonne encore une fois du choix
éditorial de certains textes ( dont la grande majorité n'a
<i>strictement aucun rapport avec l'agent 007</i> ) – alors qu'il en
existe encore pléthore portant sur le roman policier en général (
je rêverais de lire aussi par exemple un compte-rendu de l'émission
de télé où Fleming discute à bâtons rompus avec George Simenon,
ou de ses – nombreux – papiers consacrés à ses diverses
automobiles , l'une des marottes de l'auteur … ) .</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Peut-être
qu'un nouveau volume ???</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Si
vous allez vous balader du côté de Bruxelles pour les fêtes de fin
d'année , allez faire un tour à la magistrale exposition </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>'
Bond in Motion '</i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
qui se tient du côté du Heysel, pas loin de l'Atomium , place de
Belgique .</span></span></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Et
si vous avez la curiosité de tenter la visite avec un casque Audio
guide , vous y entendrez avec ravissement une foultitude d'anecdotes
inédites consacrées aux modes de transport favoris de l'agent 007
et compilées par mes soins ...</span></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: black; text-align: left;">“</span><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Inter, sans-serif;">Bond
in Motion”, une exposition immersive consacrée aux véhicules
ayant figuré dans les films de James Bond, débarque à Bruxelles.
Du 9 décembre 2022 au 14 mai 2023, le Palais 1 de Brussels Expo
(Heysel) abritera une première en Europe sous cette forme. Pas moins
d’une cinquantaine de véhicules originaux en taille réelle mais
aussi de miniatures/maquettes(motos, voitures, avions, sous-marins,
hovercrafts, hélicoptères, …),tout droit sortis des 25 films de
James Bond, sont présentés selon une scénographie originale qui
s’étend sur 6000 m². Plus qu’une exposition, “Bond in Motion”
propose une véritable expérience qui passionnera tous les publics,
des plus jeunes aux amateurs de la première heure, des amoureux de
cinéma aux amateurs de technologie en passant par les passionnés
d’aventure, sans oublier tous ceux qui veulent vivre une sortie en
famille qui touche toutes les générations. Bien d’autres objets
« non automotive » seront également exposés et
garantiront à coup sûr de belles surprises.</span></span></p>

dans les films. Ce qui veut dire que chaque pièce présentée a été
réellement utilisée en tournage, au cours de ces 60 dernières
années, par l’un des interprètes de James Bond (ou un des
personnages), de Sean Connery à Daniel Craig. Cette incroyable
collection comprend des voitures, des </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">motos,
des bateaux, des avions, des hélicoptères, des hovercrafts et même
une rame de métro de plus de 11 mètres de long, vue dans “Skyfall”.
Certains bolides ont même gardé des traces impressionnantes des
cascades réalisées pendant les tournages.</span></span></span></span></p>

qu’une exposition, “Bond in Motion” propose une véritable
expérience immersive permettant d’entrer littéralement dans un
film d’action. C’est un passage de la fiction à la réalité
mais aussi un passage en backstage car les « assets »
présentés sont aussi des maquettes qui ont facilité les effets
spéciaux de certaines scènes d’action & de cascades. Des
extraits cinématographiques sont diffusés sur des écrans afin de
situer chaque élément dans son contexte. Les décors sont plus
vrais que nature et la bande-son nous (re)plonge instantanément dans
l’univers fascinant de 007.</span></p>

milieu des années soixante , peu avant son décès prématuré en
fait , Ian Lancaster Fleming est vraiment le roi du monde .</span></span>
<br />
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ses
romans caracolent en tête des listes de best sellers dans tous les
pays .</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Le
Président Kennedy cite même Bons Baisers de Russie comme étant
l'un de ses livres de chevet favori ...</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Les
deux premiers films tirés de son œuvre ont explosé le box office
et la ' BondMania ' va véritablement déferler sur le monde avec le troisième opus –
alors toujours en tournage - <i>' Goldfinger '</i> …</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mais malgré cette popularité internationale , le créateur de 007 reste
un journaliste dans l'âme .</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Après
avoir signé un travelogue consacré aux villes les plus chaudes du
moment – à l'occasion de deux tours du monde <i>consécutifs</i>
effectué à la demande de son rédacteur en chef , Fleming revient
sur un ancien projet et décide de transformer en nouveau travelogue
les recherches qu'il a mené avant de s'atteler à la rédaction du
roman <i>' Les Diamants sont éternels ' ( </i>un slogan
astucieusement piqué à la firme DeBeer , qui ne lui en gardera pas
rancune – bien au contraire ! ) .</span></span></div>

champs de mines de diamants à perte de vue .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Fleming note scrupuleusement tout ce
que lui apprend son guide ( il met même de côté certaines
anecdotes spectaculaires qu'il se propose de réutiliser dans un
futur roman – qui , hélas , ne paraîtra jamais et dont on connait
seulement le titre , ainsi que quelques feuillets de présentation
... Voir note de bas de page <a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3056673420004221638#sdfootnote1sym" name="sdfootnote1anc"><sup>1</sup></a>

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Fleming s'amuse beaucoup et passe
plusieurs semaines en Afrique du Sud et dans le désert de la Sierra
Nevada à emmagasiner et à gribouiller des notes sur ses carnets de
voyages .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lorsque son récit de voyage est publié en 1957
, juste avant <i>' Les Diamants sont Eternels ' </i>, la Presse
Anglaise ne tarit pas d'éloges sur les qualités de conteur émérites
du journaliste devenu auteur à succès .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Et quasi immédiatement les droits
d'adaptation au Cinéma sont raflés par une Major , la Rank
Corporation ( qui s'intêressera aussi de près au roman <i>Moonraker
</i>quelques années plus tard ) . </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Un scénario est construit en
recentrant toutes les péripéties rapportées par l'écrivain autour
d'un seul et même personnage , un agent de sécurité de mine de
Diamant dénommé John Blaze …</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Après être passé par trop de
réécritures successives et un nombre de réalisateurs potentiels record ( parmi
lesquels on trouvera même un jeune John Boorman ) , le projet de
film tombera hélas à l'eau en 1966.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Et il faudra attendre précisèment
cette même année pour que les éditions <b>Plon</b> décident
alors d'en proposer une fidèle traduction française en hard cover (
luxe suprême ) …</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Tout récemment , en 2013 , les Ian
Fleming Publications ont décidé de rééditer l'ouvrage dans une
luxueuse nouvelle version .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hélas , aucun éditeur Français ne
s'est à ce jour montré intêressé par cet ouvrage hors du commun
.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Bien dommage , car Fleming étant un
conteur-né , ses anecdotes de travail sont tout autant passionnantes
que le roman , puis le film , qui en ont été tirées …</span></div>

sous le titre de travail de<i><b> ' Per Fine Ounce ' </b></i>( en
référence à la mesure utilisée alors pour quantifier les carats
d'une pierre précieuse ) ce roman inédit devait à nouveau
projeter James Bond au milieu de l'univers des contrebandiers de
diamants . Plusieurs séquences spectaculaires avaient déjà germé
dans la tête de l'écrivain ( ses notes parlent de chaînes de
vélo en or massif ou de baobabs géants servant de boite aux
lettres pour les vils malandrins … ) . Sa trame générale sera en
fait construite par un autre écrivain , Geoffrey Jenkins , après
la mort du créateur de 007 – à la demande des ayant-droits
éditeurs des aventures de James Bond . Mais le roman ne paraîtra
finalement jamais ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">After
successfully re issuing last year a limited edition of James Bond
<i>Thunderbal</i>l's Aston Martin DB V in a vintage 1965 replica box, it
became clear to Corgi that there were onto something . So they presto
reissued some iconic vehicles of their classic James Bond range under
that new retro packaging . Adding some minor details here and there
to some cars ( painted headlights , etc. ) . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">To the
die hard Corgi James Bond collector fan , it was just impossible to resist the colorful packaging</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. </span>

, not ALL the Bond cars were re-issued , and the final choice was a
bit contestable . No ' Moonbuggy ' from D.A.F , no convertible Toyota
from Y.O.L.T , not even the fabulous Ski protubering Aston Martin
Volante from TLD …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Heck ,
to each his own I guess …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One interesting piece of info though , according to some reliable sources , no new 007 models are to be released in 2018.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>But</i> ... All the options are on the table again for 2019 . I wonder why ... </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">( And
just for the Froggies eyes only , there are indeed some retailers in our country which will propose that new range . Keep reading this blog for more details ) . </span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hallehuiah !
La célèbrissime marque de modèles réduits a annonçé pour
l'année en cours les ressorties futures des véhicules les plus
emblématiques de la saga James Bond ...</span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<i> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Si il est bien
un jouet associé de manière indélébile aux aventures de James
Bond au Cinéma , c'est incontestablement le célèbre modèle réduit
de l' Aston Martin DB5 inspiré de sa grande sœur apparue dans Goldfinger , le
troisième film de la série . </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">( On frémit à l'idée des premières marques d'abord envisagées
par le réalisateur Guy Hamilton : une Jaguar , voire même une
Ford ! ) .</span></i></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">La reproduction au
1/43ème réalisée par Corgi Toys de la célèbrissime grande dame va
réapparaitre dès la mi-Juillet à la vitrine des magasins de jouets
britanniques ( <i>Hamley's</i> , nous voilà ! ) . </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more-11581"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more-11657"></a></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div align="CENTER">
<i><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The Most (
Little ) Famous Car of the World </span></b></i></div>
<div align="CENTER">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Si l’Aston Martin DB5
est devenu un mythe grâce à James Bond, sa reproduction en
modèle réduit par Corgi Toys est devenue une légende dans le monde de la
voiture miniature.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">En
1963 Corgi va entreprendre l’exploitation du filon offert par la
télévision et le cinéma en lançant une Ford Zephir tirée d’une
série télé de la BBC puis en 1965 la Volvo P1800 de la célèbre
série<i> Le Sain</i>t. Le modèle est plébiscité et Corgi Toys
s’intéresse à James Bond qui vient de connaitre un succès
retentissant avec le film <i>Golfinger.</i></span></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Un accord avec la
production du film est trouvé et Corgi Toys étudie l’Aston Martin
DB5 afin de la produire avant les fêtes de Noël 1965 et la sortie
du nouveau film Opération Tonnerre prévue en décembre 1965. Le
pari est tenu puisque la miniature est commercialisée en octobre
1965.<br />La voiture de James Bond, sous la référence 261, est
présentée sur un superbe diorama glissé dans une boite, le
tout à la gloire de l’agent spécial 007. Un feuillet
d’instructions, des décalcomanies et deux <i>passagers indésirables</i> ( destinés à être éjectés , donc ) accompagnent l’ensemble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Ce jouet fait surtout sensation par sa sophistication. Les
nombreux gadgets nécessitent un assemblage de 28 pièces, ce qui est
une performance pour l’époque.<br />Les principaux équipements de
la voiture de James Bond se retrouvent sur la miniature, les plus
spectaculaires étant le siège éjectable et le toit ouvrant, le
pare-balles arrière,et les mitrailleuses frontales. Le tout est commandé par deux
manettes situées sous le châssis. La fidélité est totale, on peut
seulement s’étonner de la couleur or retenue pour la voiture au
lieu du gris du film. <br />Cette Corgi
Toys va remporter un succès phénoménal et obtenir un <i>« UK
Toy Of The Year »</i> et un <i>« Best Boys Toy Of 1965 »</i>.
Il s'en vendra plus de 2 700 000 modèles en 1966.<br />Produite
jusqu’en 1969, L’Aston Martin DB5 de James Bond évoluera au sein
de la gamme Corgi avec un nouveau modèle en 1968 sous la réf. 270,
cette fois en gris et l’échelle du 1/36ème. En 1970, sous la réf.
271 le modèle adoptera des roues whizzwheels et d’autres
gadgets. Puis les rééditions se multiplieront à partir des années
90 jusqu’à nos jours.<br />De fait , dès sa réapparition dans
<i>GoldenEye</i>, le vénérable véhicule redeviendra de façon
indéfectible attachée à l'image de l'agent secret playboy alors
campé par Pierce Brosnan .</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Plusieurs variations
seront alors proposées par <i>Corgi</i> , au gré de la sortie des nouveaux
films . Soyons honnêtes , il n'est pas rare alors de retrouver
exactement le même modèle sous deux boites se réclamant de deux
films différends . Une tactique commerciale qui par ailleurs ne
grandit pas la réputation de <i>Corgi </i>...</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">En 2006 , nouveau
coup de boost avec l'intronisation du reboot <i>Casino Royale</i> . </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Clin d'oeil aux fans
de la première heure , le nouvel agent 007 gagnera au poker une
Aston Martin DB5 vintage .</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Il la retrouvera dans
<i>Skyfall</i> – apparemment cette fois à nouveau munie de son
fameux siège éjectable ( et de tous ses anciens gadgets ! ) .</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Pourtant réduite
en cendres par les hommes de Silva , l'increvable DB 5 revient néanmoins encore dans le film suivant , <i>Spectre</i> . Q a en effet réussi à
la reconstituer intégralement ...</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Cette année , sans
doute inspirée par le succès de sa réédition en simili boite
d'origine l'année dernière de l' Aston Martin de<i> Thunderball</i> (
<i>Opération Tonnerre</i> – 1965 ) , <i>Corgi</i> décide de mettre les petits
plats dans les grands et proposera donc une réédition en boite
prestige ' vintage ' de quasi <i>TOUS</i> les véhicules sortis au gré des
différends films …</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Un soucis du détail
certain a été apporté à ces nouvelles variations ( des plaques
d'immatriculation conformes à celles des films par exemple , des phares intégrés et non plus peints directement sur la carrosserie ou
encore les ailerons de la Lotus Esprit arborant enfin leurs liseré
noir … ) .</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">On regrettera par
contre certains choix stratégiques . Pourquoi ressortir la Rolls de <i>Goldfinger</i>
au lieu du superbe coupé Toyota de <i>On ne vit que deux fois </i>?
</span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Bref , pour parodier
le titre d'un ouvrage incontournable édité par le spécialiste du
Merchandising 007 Dave Worrall , les versions au 1/43ieme de Corgi resteront pour toujours <i>« The Most Famous Little Cars
of The World »</i></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">October
2015 : <i>Spectre </i>, the 24<sup>th</sup> official film in the
series blasted on the screens worldwide . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And
although not praised as much as its immediate predecessor ( at least
, by 007 purists ) , the box-office financial returns were more than
enough to ensure an obligatory follow-up .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Which
should have started production this year ( or early 2017 at least )
for a proposed 2018 release date , except this well oiled scenario
derailled along the way for several reasons .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What
happened – and , more important , when exactly will the next film
appear ( <i>IF </i>there's a next one ) ?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Reason 1
: the current 007 incarnation very own mood . Everybody read the tired ' never
again ' Daniel Craig assertion during the <i>Spectre </i>promo
campaign around the world . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
actor was understandably a bit shaken & stirred from the shooting
( having injured himself more than once during the globe-trotting
scheme ) . Hence , some not very promising and stern comments about
his own future as agent 007 . Ok , when you spend more than half a
year on the shooting of a single one movie , fatigue can get in .
Normal reaction . No reason to panic ( yet ) . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">NO
casting has been officially announced by Eon , nor MGM , for the part
– and , if the producers do keep their words , Daniel Craig STILL
is James Bond .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">( Ah .
But wasn't it exactly the same with dear old Tim Dalton in the early
90s ? ) . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Reason 2
: The Broccoli other Movies affair .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile
, the always hyper active Barbara Broccoli ( who already helped
producing several non 007 small films and some theater plays as well
) engaged herself in 2016 in the production of <i>' Film Stars Don't
Die in Liverpool '</i> ( a fictionalized version of actress Gloria
Grahame 's life . Movie status is currently ending post production . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Miss
Broccoli also intends to produce a stage version of </span><a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/the-kid-stays-in-the-picture" target="_blank"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
Kid Stays in the Picture </span></i></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">about
movie executive and producer Robert Evans ( the man behind Polanski's
<i>Chinatown</i> ) </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">( She
already produced in the past the very successful version of the Ian
Fleming based Musical <i>' Chitty chitty Bang Bang ' </i>) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Meaning
, of course , Bond25 could be potentially entering pre-production
only by mid 2017 ( even if Eon is working permanently on new ideas
and synopsises for future films ) </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Reason 3
: The Production Imbroglio </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I don't
know about you , but I always thought it was some kind of (
repetitive ) miracle the Bond films managed to get produced and
issued with so many different parties involved ( Eon, MGM , the Ian
Fleming Publication company , Sony or whatever other world-wide
distributor .... ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Well it
seems this time , this carefully oiled clockwork might be one of the
reason the next film is in limbo for the present time . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sony
pictures – the distributor of all the latest Daniel Craig James
Bond movies – was supposed to be out with <i>Spectre .
</i><span style="font-style: normal;">Understanbily , all major
Hollywood companies were said to be on the look-out to grab the most
profitable franchise of Cinema history . </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And
what happened so far ? </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We
do not have a clue ! No statement whatsoever has been released by any
of those giants .</span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">THE
only comment came from MGM </span> CEO Gary Barber who listed <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">t</span>he Bond films series two
weeks ago during a conference call for MGM investors <i>“premium
franchise titles” that “we expect to release over the next few
years.” .</i></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Uh
oh , wait : ' next <i>FEW</i> years ' ? </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Meaning
: any date from 2018 till Eternity ? </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">That's
not a very encouraging prospect indeed ...</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile
, the Ian Fleming Publication estate is fretting with new projects .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Announcing
Anthony Horrowitz's second Continuation novel for 2018 ( hooray ) -
and licencing Ian Fleming's characters to US based Dynamite Comics
company . </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I'd
be extremely cautious about the whereabouts of those new
interpretations of 007 in Comics form – if only judging from their
first venture into the field .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">VARGR
( not a Swedish type insult , be assured ) , the first Dynamite
installment , being a rather poor taste story of classical
megalomaniac wanting to erase the human race through a deadly drug (
to be able to test his very own vaccine against it . Yes , this one
sometimes seems to lightly borrow from Fleming , Gardner , and also
from Eon's Bond – the alias ' Peter Franks ' does appear , as well
as a Naomie Harris type Moneypenny , a John Cleese like Q , etc, etc
...</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But
the most disturbing thing about that Graphic novel ( the more
legitimate appellation of Comic books these days ) is its extreme
violence ( explosive dum dum bullets exiting from the back of the
head of a bad guy , fingers sliced and cut in close ups , that sort
of things ) .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
writer of this piece is not a chicken , but I felt slightly puzzled
with all this blood & gore displayed at virtually each encounter
between Bond and any bad guy .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's
almost as if the writers decided to try to enhance Daniel Craig's
already very physical interpretation of the character – making him
some sort of Charles Bronson Death Wish killing machine . </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Gloomy
is really about the only adjective which can describe correctly that
story </span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Nothing
is retained of the authentical Fleming mood ( and famous <i>sweep</i>
) , there's no characterisation and no empathy <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">for</span> <i>any</i> of the
cast appearing .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Add
to that some strange , sometimes almost Manga-like – drawnings and
you'll sorely miss Mike Grell's unique ( if a bit crazy – but fun
) <i>Serpent's tooth</i> own Comics James Bond variation .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And
even more the Ian Fleming inspired Daily Express newspaper 1950s
strips .</span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Let
us hope Dynamite will rectify things with their upcoming <i>Felix
Leiter </i>creation . The very first sequel inspired by a Fleming
character ...</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I'm
wondering if Barbara Broccoli has optionned those Dynamite titles as
well ? </span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Guy
Hamilton est né en septembre 1922 à Paris de parents
anglais. </span></span></h3>
<h3 class="western">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">S'est éteint à Majorque ( Baléares ) le 2<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">0</span> avril 2016 . </span></span>
</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.49cm; margin-top: 0.49cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Il
entre dans les milieux du cinéma aux studios de La Victorine à
Nice, en 1939, comme assistant-réalisateur de Julien Duvivier
pour “<b>Untel Père et Fils</b>”. Il gardera
toujours un attachement certain à la côte d' Azur ( en
revenant notamment y tourner le pré-générique
des <b>Diamants Sont eternels </b>en 1971 ) Puis il regagne Londres en 1940
où il travaille quelque temps comme monteur aux actualités
Paramount avant d’être mobilisé dans la Royal Navy.
Après le conflit, il reprend son métier d’assistant
et travaille notamment avec Alberto Cavalcanti (“<b>Je suis un
Fugitif</b>”), Sidney Gilliat (“<b>Secret d’État</b>”)
et surtout Carol Reed (“<b>Première Désillusion</b>”,
“<b>Le Troisième Homme</b>”, “<b>Le Banni
des Îles</b>”). En 1952, il seconde aussi John Huston
sur “<b>African Queen</b>”. C’est la même année
qu’il réalise enfin son premier film et devient, en très
peu d’années, un cinéaste très prisé
par ses compatriotes. Il signe en 1954 une version remarquée
de la pièce de J.B. Priestley, “<b>Un Inspecteur Vous
Demande</b>”, et un an plus tard un film d’évasion
tout aussi célèbre, “<b>Les Indomptables de
Colditz</b>”. En 1959, la compagnie Hecht-Hill-Lancaster lui
propose de prendre en main la direction de “<b>Au Fil de
l’Épée</b>”, une adaptation d’une pièce
peu connue de George Bernard Shaw, puis il dirige une célèbre
comédie d’espionnage avec James Mason, “<b>Un Brin
d’Escroquerie</b>”, qui égratigne allégrement
les sacro-saints services secrets britanniques. Après avoir
participé à une ambitieuse co-production
anglo-italienne sous l’égide de Dino De Laurentiis (“<b>Le
Meilleur Ennemi</b>”), il est à l’apogée de sa
carrière et fonde la Tricastle Company avec Jules Buck et le
comédien Jack Hawkins, dans le but de réaliser un film
selon son cœur, “<b>The Party’s Over</b>”, mais ses
démêlés avec la censure ruineront ses espoirs. </span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.49cm; margin-top: 0.49cm;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Pressenti
pour tourner <b>« James Bond contre Dr No » </b>,
il devra attendre d'être finalement choisi pour mettre en
scène le troisième James Bond avec Sean Connery,
“<b>Goldfinger</b>“, tâche dont il s’acquitte
avec un savoir-faire qui lui vaudra quelques années plus tard
de diriger trois autres films de la série, “<b>Les
Diamants sont Éternels</b>”, “<b>Vivre et
Laisser Mourir</b>” et “<b>L’Homme au Pistolet d’Or</b>”

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Gracieusement
invité en Février 2015 par le Kunstahl Museum de Rotterdam à découvrir
la version Hollandaise de l'exposition-phare de Eon Productions , <i>Designing <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">007</span> </i>,

aventures du héros de Ian Fleming , j'avais pu déambuler à loisir au
milieu des props , décors , costumes et reproductions diverses tirés des
vingt-cinq films officiels du Canon ...</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Il y a quelques années </span>, la direction du Festival du Film de Valenciennes m'invita à
animer une MasterClass en compagnie de Peter Lamont , décorateur
émérite qui travailla sur les productions Eon <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">à partir de</span>
196<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">4</span> , en gravissant petit à petit les échelons qui
, d'assistant de Ken Adam , finit par lui ouvrir les portes du
département chargé de la conception des décors
sur les James Bond . </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Accessoirement
, notre homme travailla aussi pour James Cameron, pour qui il recréa
les intérieurs d'un paquebot transatlantique mythique dont le
voyage inaugural se termina au fond de l'océan …</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Comment
avez-vous été amener à travailler sur les James
Bond ? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i>Eh
bien , j'avais loupé les deux premiers et je suis donc arrivé
sur Goldfinger . Le jour même où je débarquais
dans les bureaux , Ken Adam </i><span style="font-style: normal;">(
le chef décorateur du film . NdA )</span><i> m'a mis entre les
mains un gros paquet de documentation sur Fort Knox – d'où
il rentrait de répérages . On a ensuite enchaîné
sur Ipcress , Danger Immédiat . Le Bond suivant aurait dû
être à l'origine Au Service Secret De Sa Majesté
mais , surprise , un matin Ken Adam nous a annon<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">c</span>é
qu'il fallait tous nous initier à la plongée
sous-marine , car on allait finalement tourner Opération
Tonnerre !!!</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i>J'ai
donc suivi ses conseils ...Et toute l'équipe est donc partie
aux Bahamas . Pour moi , c'était la première fois que
je tournais en extérieurs . Ma fonction première là-bas
consista à « habiller » le bombardier
Vulcan au fond des mers . Il était prévu au départ
que je ne reste sur place que deux semaines au grand maximum … Mais
j'y suis finalement demeuré plus de trois mois . C'est une des
régles immuables de ce métier : on sait quand on
part … Mais on ne sait jamais quand on va revenir !!!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Quels
problèmes avez-vous rencontré pour filmer cette
gigantesque bataille sous-marine ? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Personnellement
, aucun . C'était une question d'organisation , c'est tout .
Au fond de l'eau nous devions communiquer par panneaux – c'était
bien avant qu'on mette au point les fréquences radio
sous-marines - , et à près de 15 mètres de fond
, gérer à la fois l'équipe technique et
artistique , c'était assez hallucinant malgré tout .</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Je
me souviens qu'au bout de quelques jours de tournage de cette
séquence , le fournisseur de matériel sous-marin vint
me trouver l'air d<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">é</span>sespéré en me confiant «
Peter , on est quasi en rupture de stock pour les masques et les
palmes . Il faut faire quelque chose . » . Unique
solution : demander à tout le monde de conserver masque
et palme par devers soi , et de ne pas les oublier au fond de l'océan
à la fin de la journée . On a même du employer à
un moment donné trois personnes chargées exclusivement
de récup<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">é</span>rer tout le matériel abandonné à
chaque fin de journée de tournage …</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">On
raconte que Terence Young laissa à Peter Hunt le soin de
monter le film quasiment tout seul ( Young étant parti sur la
préproduction de son film suivant </span><i>Opération
Opium </i><span style="font-style: normal;">) ?</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

il y a hélas beaucoup de faux raccords dans ce film –
notamment à un moment donné la couleur du masque de
Bond change entre deux scènes !!!! L'explication est très
simple : les scènes sous-marines avaient été
mises en boite par la seconde équipe , qui n'était donc
pas raccord avec les scènes tournées par Terence …</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Même
chose pour certains plans où Bond franchit une porte , etc .
On n'avait pas le temps d'être raccord sur tout . Le film
devait sortir à une date précise et il fallait
sacrifier un peu de logique narrative pour pouvoir livrer une
histoire qui tienne plus ou moins debout . </span></i>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Je
me souviens aussi d'une autre anecdote savoureuse , concernant
cette fois le fameux cigare à oxygène qu'utilise 007
sous l'eau . On a eu un jour la visite d'un officiel de la Navy qui a
demandé le plus sérieusement du monde à voir les
plans de l'appareil , pour comprendre quelle capacité d'air
respirable cet engin pouvait fournir , etc …</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Avec
un sérieux papal je lui ai répondu « il
permet de rester sous l'eau … Aussi longtemps que vous arriverez à
retenir votre souffle ! » . Le type a cru que je me
fichais de lui … ( rires ) .</span></i></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Et
après Opération Tonnerre …</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i>Vint
On ne vit que deux fois , bien sûr ! Moi je suis sagement
resté sur les plateaux des studios de Pinewood , tandis que
l'équipe s'envolait pour le Japon . Le décor principal
était tellement énorme qu'il nous causa pas mal de
problèmes . Il y avait même un micro climat à
l'intérieur !!!</i></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Comment
vous répartissiez-vous le travail avec Ken Adam ? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Eh
bien, c'est lui qui imaginait tous les décors , et il nous
donnait ensuite des plans et des esquisses que nous nous effor<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">c</span>ions
alors de réaliser au plus près de ce qu'il avait
envisagé . Je me souviens lui avoir signalé que si on
dépla<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">ç</span>ait un peu les appartements privés de Blofeld –
censés se trouver derri<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">è</span>re le centre de commandement du
Volcan, on pourrait alors bénéficier d'un plus grand
angle de focale . </span></i>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">J'ai
travaillé avec Ken sur Goldfinger, On ne vit que deux fois ,
puis sur l'Espion qui m'aimait et Moonraker . Ken est ensuite parti
s'installer aux Etats-Unis , et l'on m'a alors nommé nouveau
Chef décorateur . Après Moonraker , les budgets avaient
été revus à la baisse , et les décors et
les gadgets s'en sont immédiatement ressentis .</span></i></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">En
1954 , Ian Fleming a déjà tout réussi . Il a vendu les droits de
son premier roman, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Casino
Royale </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">, à la télé US ,
il pense trouver sans problèmes une Major Américaine pour porter au
Cinéma son futur script de </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>'
James Bond of The Secret Service '</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
( avec – soyons fou - Richard Burton dans le rôle de James
Bond ! ) , et il est sous contrat pour rédiger pour CBS une
série de scripts pour une nouvelle série télé intitulée </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>'
Commander Jamaica ' </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">( et
plus ou moins directement inspirée des aventures d'un certain agent
secret Britannique ) . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Tout va
pour le mieux , donc .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Sauf que
…</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Le
téléfilm adapté de </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Casino
Royale </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">( et casé dans la
série anthologique </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>' Climax ' </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">sans
autre forme de promotion ) fait un bide total et recueille un taux
d'audience misérable .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Personne
ne se porte acquéreur à Hollywood du mirifique script de</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>
' James Bond of the Secret Service ' .</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Et la
série télé promise par un producteur indépendant se casse la
figure et ne verra jamais le jour …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">D'autres
que Fleming aurait baissé les bras . Lui prend la chose avec
philosophie et se remet devant sa machine à écrire pour concocter
un nouveau roman : ce sera l'extraordinaire </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Bons
Baisers de Russie </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">…</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Et que
deviennent donc les fameux scripts rédigés pour ce projet de
série-télé ? L'astucieux Fleming en recyclera quelques uns
sous forme de longues nouvelles pour son futur recueil </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>'
For Your Eyes Only '</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> . </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Quelques
uns … Mais pas tous !</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">La Ian
Fleming Publication , détentrice tutélaire des œuvres de
l'écrivain depuis sa mort prématurée en 1964 , décida donc
l'année dernière de fouiner un peu dans les paperasses de l'écrivain
.</span></div>

par un autre écrivain , Geoffrey Jenkins , ami fidèle de Fleming )
ou la correspondance privée du Maître avec ses amis ( à paraître
le mois prochain sous le titre ronflant de </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>'
The Man with the Golden Typewriter ' </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">chez
Blomsbury ) , peut-être y-aurait-il encore matière à publication
d'un inédit ?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bingo ,
on dépoussière vite fait l'un des fameux scripts restés lettre
morte . Intitulé </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>' Murder
on Wheels ' ( ' Meurtre au volant ' )</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
, il plonge 007 dans un milieu qui n'est pas vraiment le sien :
celui des courses automobiles des années cinquante , au milieu des
Fangio et autres Stirling Moss ( dont Bond doit d'ailleurs prendre la
place dans cette histoire hors norme ) . Mais le texte est bcp trop
court …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Que
faire ?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Enter
Anthony Horowitz , fils spirituel de Fleming ( sans le savoir ) et
créateur des aventures d'un certain Alex Ryder – que l'on pourrait
aisèment surnommer ' James Bond Junior ' .</span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Outre
ses qualités intrinsèques d'écrivain, Mr Horowitz est un
pasticheur-née : il s'est déjà emparé du héros de Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle pour lui faire vivre de nouvelles aventures
effrénées - lesquelles ont rencontré un beau succès littéraire . </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ni une ,
ni deux : Corinne Turner ( Big boss des Ian Fleming Publications
) se met sur son trente-et-un et propose à l'écrivain de se lancer
à son tour dans l'enivrante aventure dite de ' la Continuation novel
' .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Soit ,
en bon Français , </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>«
faire du Fleming à la place de Fleming »</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Avantage
certain par rapport à la floppée d'auteurs connus qui l'ont précédé
( de Raymond Benson à John Gardner , en passant par Kingsley Amis ou
William Boyd ) , Horowitz disposera lui de ce fameux script inédit
comme point de départ .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A
lui ensuite de l'intégrer dans une intrigue d'un roman de plus de
300 pages … Ce qui n'est pas une mince affaire !</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Soyons
honnête : depuis la dernière aventure rédigée sous la plume
de l'écrivain américain Raymond Benson, tous ces successeurs –
aussi célèbres soient-ils – s'étaient cassés les dents en
essayant de copier/coller la prose de Ian Lancaster Fleming .</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Chez
Horowitz , elle semble au contraire couler de source – et bien
malin qui pourra déceler – outre la séquence de la fameuse course
automobile – où commence ( et où finit ) les autres emprunts
inédits rédigés de la plume même du créateur de 007 !!!!!</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bref
, ce <i>Trigger Mortis</i> ( jeu de mots bien digne du père de Pussy Galore
ou d' Octopussy ) est une réussite complète – ENFIN digne des
récits originaux imaginés par Ian Fleming dans les années
cinquante …</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">S'il
vous plaît , Madame Corinne Turner , ne laissez pas s'enfuir Mr
Horowitz et faites-lui un pont d'or pour qu'il nous concocte d'autres
romans tout aussi bien troussés !!!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">(
Warning : this is a semi autobiographical piece , where the
writer fondly looks back at some of his 007 related memories ) .
Kind of trip to Nostalgia lane .</span></i>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
discovered James Bond at Christmas 1971 in Paris . The film was , of
course , <i>Les Diamants Sont Eternels</i> ( D.A.F ) . </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8tncKbYcWBg/VcXqzKt3hqI/AAAAAAAAD8w/lYskBtRHJbs/s1600/daf%2B%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8tncKbYcWBg/VcXqzKt3hqI/AAAAAAAAD8w/lYskBtRHJbs/s320/daf%2B%25283%2529.jpg" width="195" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And to
an 8 years old kid , this was a universe quite different from the
usual Disney pictures my parents usually took me to see at the cinema
.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A
couple of days later , I managed to cajole my godfather to buy me two
Corgis models issued from the movie , the awesome Moonbuggy – which
I still have and still functionning – and the Aston Martin DB5 (
which , unfortunately , has suffered much more from being too often
played with … ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anyway
, two years later Lord Brett Sinclair suddenly became James Bond . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I was
then much more aware of the ongoing saga . <span id="goog_523985202"></span><span id="goog_523985203"></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And
started to read the original Fleming novels . The French movie tie-in
edition of <i>' Vivre et Laisser Mourir '</i> had the superb Robert
McGinnis film poster on its cover - which was the main reason why I
bought the book ( to be dreadfully honest , I was disgusted not to
find ANY direct relation with the movie bearing the same title ,
apart from some character's names . That was my first lesson in movie
making : never trust a film poster claiming story <i>is inspired
by a precise book</i> ! ) .</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pojV49J6uzA/VcXq9MMHPyI/AAAAAAAAD84/kTvtNpnemDk/s1600/vivre_1973.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pojV49J6uzA/VcXq9MMHPyI/AAAAAAAAD84/kTvtNpnemDk/s320/vivre_1973.jpg" width="185" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My
interest in Bond then took two directions . First , following all the
news appearing in magazines related to the shooting / release of a
new movie and second , discovering all the original novels written by
Ian Fleming ( and then trying to imagine what <i>could have been done
with a completely faifhfull adaptation of any of his novellist work .</i>
) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As fate
would have it , I was then living in the small town of Vence , nearby
Nice , on the French Riviera . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And the
then current actor portraying 007 on the screen at that time ( the
ever amiable Sir Roger Moore ) had a villa less than 15kms from my
own home . Little did I knew then ( damnit ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When I
decided to publish my very first own movie Fanzine in 80', it was
then natural to have 007 on the cover of the very first issue . The
Curse of Journalism had made another victim .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I then
followed a Journalistic Course at la Sorbonne – and finally
obtained a Master in Journalism & Communication in 90' . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A
decision which was ( in all modestly ) largely inspired to <i>try</i> to follow Ian
Fleming footsteps . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
figured out that his life as a Globe-trotter was one which could be
rather interesting , visiting new countries , making friends
everywhere , acting like an irresitible playboy , being his own Boss
. That sort of things .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hell
yeah , Journalism was some kind of dream job indeed .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I had
started writing film reviews by then , attending Press screenings ,
meeting actors & directors for promo interviews , etc, etc . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But
always a Bond fan, I was still a member of several 007 Fan-Clubs
around the world – best of them being without doubt the James Bond
( British ) Fan-Club .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Under
the formidable input of its Président , members had the chance to
visit the mythical Pinewood Studios , attend conferences with cast &
crew from the movies , etc.,etc …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I even
used one of those Convention ' open day ' in october 92 to film part
of my first James Bond TV documentary there ,<i> ' Les 30 Ans de
James Bond '</i> ( who knows , it may be on YouTube these days ) . I
was still a trainee in the SFP ( French national TV Production
company ) then, and managed to convince them to let me film there a
30 minutes doc – which was produced by Canal + Philippe Gildas
company .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Oh and
I got to interview Terence Young himself – in one of his very last
TV appearances – for that documentary too ... </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OJsjb4vfPw8/VcXrYJ2fqmI/AAAAAAAAD9A/FOcVJEHOS7Y/s1600/Terence%2BYoung%2BLast%2BTV%2BInterview.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OJsjb4vfPw8/VcXrYJ2fqmI/AAAAAAAAD9A/FOcVJEHOS7Y/s320/Terence%2BYoung%2BLast%2BTV%2BInterview.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Over
the years , I met many people in the movie business , made a
few friends too and continue to closely follow each new James Bond
adventures ( be it on celluloïd or paper form ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
interviewed many of the key production members too ( Cubby Broccoli ,
Michael G.Wilson ,Guy Hamilton, etc. ) , and have always been impressed by their
own modesty .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My
interest never weakened through the years . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For me
, quite simply , the Bond productions were – ARE – what Europe
can offer as Best in terms of movie production and artistic value . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Their
creative teams are truly international , their casts dazzle for each new movie .
They trust the very same persons to work with them from film to film
.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There's
definitly some kind of ' Family business ' warm feeling when you have the chance
to be introduced into the Eon house …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So I've
<i>' grown up with James Bond '</i> - sort of . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And
have been lucky enough to earn my living doing a job which was
directly inspired by the very creator of agent 007 ( I often wonder
what Fleming would have thought of our current ' Media frenzy ' times
, though … )</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And I'm
not the only one , far from it . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Many
current film directors have been inspired by the Bond saga .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some
famous prolific 007 screenwriters have also started their litterary
career producing some James Bond inspired fanzine in their teens …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I was
having lunch the other day in Paris with a friend who had been lucky
enough to be picked up as S<i>pectre</i> Stunt arranger in the
upcoming movie . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We're
roughly about the same age . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">First
unit Shooting had finished some weeks ago , but he still had that
<i>broad grin</i> when talking about the movie , and still did not quite
realized he is now part of the Bond family . It was a dream come true
( his words ) … Lucky guy .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Maybe
one day , they'll need a French writer to join their ranks ? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
should send pronto boxes of Chocolate to Barbara & Michael ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Et merci à Harry , Cubby , Barbara , Michael et Ian Lancaster Fleming of course </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Paris
to the Schilthorn , Friday , July the 31 .</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As I'm
about to embark to my 6 hours journey via trains to reach Interlaken , I
reflected that some films – like wines – never age . Or rather
age rather well .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">That's
precisely the case of the 6<sup>th</sup> instalment of the Eon produced
James Bond film series .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One of
the most faithfull entry to any of the adaptations of Fleming's <i>oeuvre</i> since 1962 ...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One
starring a completely unknown ( supposedly ) actor …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One the
media always considered as some sort of ' semi failure ' ( which it is
definitly <i>not </i>– not even financially speaking ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And one
I was fortunate enough to still discover in a glorious 35mm print in
Paris in 1980 , in a Cinema which was soon to be disbanded ( as I
quickly befriended its owner , I got the chance to get my hands on
all the Promo material of the movies shown there … )</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anyway
, back to Switzerland . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Finally arriving
at Interlaken West ( there are two stations in town . I took the
wrong one last time , two years ago , but wouldn't do the same
mistake twice ! ) , I was welcome at the Carlton Europa Hotel by
its friendly manager who had casually a … Suite reserved for me !</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
cannot thank enough the generosity ( and superb services ) offered by
the whole staff & its Director .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It was
then around 3 :00 PM and I was expected at 4 at the Cable Car
station of <i>Stechelberg</i> , to then reach <i>Murren</i>, get another one to
<i>Berg</i> – and finally reaching the <i>Schilthorn – Piz Gloria</i> .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">True to
my unique sense of orientation , I straightfully … Missed the first
Cable-Car station , and had to take a Mountain train to eventually
reach Murren . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Where I
had the good fortune to stumble on a BBC TV crew , chaperonned by a
delightful lady from a UK based Public relation agency . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">They
were on their way to Piz Gloria to film a short subject on writer
Mark Mason and his <i>' The Bluffer's Guide to Bond ' </i>book . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We
started chatting like a bunch of mad school boys at once , and I got
my moment of fame when revealing official Continuation writer Raymond Benson had turned me
into a Fiction character in his own 007 novel<i> ' Never Dream of
Dying '</i> …</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uN15ISe3hEQ/VcEkYKh2NpI/AAAAAAAAD78/bkaCcPP1YVY/s1600/bluffer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uN15ISe3hEQ/VcEkYKh2NpI/AAAAAAAAD78/bkaCcPP1YVY/s320/bluffer.jpg" width="220" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">About
three ( or four ) pints later , we finally decided to try to catch the
cable-car to Berg and enjoy the upcoming Party .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We arrived just in time at the Schilthorn to attend good ole' George Lazenby's Chopper touch-down in front of frenzied cameramen & journalists ...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Funny thing when you do attend a James Bond event these days – be
it ANYWHERE in the world , you invariably stumble on some friendly
faces . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">That
was the case with me being spotted at once by French Club James Bond
President ( and friend ) Luc Leclech , who amiably told me Miss
Catherine Schell was in attendance , and nicely offered to introduce
me to the lady . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I was
thrilled . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Not
only did I rightly remember her as one of Blofeld's Angel of Death ,
but first – and foremost – as the shape-shifter alien <i>Maya</i>
in the second season of <i>' Space 1999 ' .</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i> </i></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Miss
Schell wasn't obviously expecting such fervor amongst dozens of fans
amassed to greet her , and she signed autographs to any lucky person
bold enough to ask her one . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I had then the privilege to interview
her ( in the Piz Gloria <i>souvenir shop</i> – a deadly place for any

Not only will the afficionados get a 24th film , courtsey of Eon, MGM & Sony ,<br />
But the Ian Fleming estate also teased fans last year with the announcement of a new James Bond novel due to be penned by Alex Ryder writer , M. Anthony Horrowitz ..<br />
<br />
<br />
The novel should be available in bookstores world wide by next september ( beating <i>Spectre</i> release's date by a few weeks ... ) .<br />
<br />
On the French edition front , this one will benefit from a unique launch .<br />
According to some sources , it's not merely one but <i>two</i> different French Publishing houses that will simultaneously release the new book ...<br />
<br />
Representants of those respectable French publishers were invited to attend a lecture by Anthony Horrowitz himself in London a few weeks back .<br />
<br />
At the time , ( still quoting a reliable source ) , the final title of the novel wasn't revealed .<br />
It is known however that the book is inspired by a synopsis devised by Fleming himself in the fifties - when he was approached by some TV producers willing to translate the James Bond adventures on screen for the very first time .<br />
<br />
A very tantalazing springboard for Mr Horrowitz to jump onto . And undoubtly another wealthy addition to the Bond litterary cannon to come ...<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ian Fleming Publications Ltd. and the Ian Fleming Estate are delighted to

been invited to write the next James Bond novel, tentatively titled ' Project One ' , and due for <b>worldwide release
on 8<sup>th</sup> September 2015</b>.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">Horowitz is one of the UK’s most successful authors and has over forty
books to his name including his recent Sherlock Holmes novel, <i>The House of
Silk</i>, and his enormously successful teen spy series featuring Alex
Rider. As a TV screenwriter he created both <i>Midsomer Murders</i> and
the BAFTA-winning <i>Foyle’s War</i>, and is looking forward to taking on his
next project:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">‘It’s no secret that Ian Fleming’s extraordinary
character has had a profound influence on my life, so when the Estate
approached me to write a new James Bond novel how could I possibly refuse? It’s
a huge challenge but having original, unpublished material by Fleming has been
an inspiration. This is a book I had to write.’</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">Set in the 1950s, Horowitz’s story will be unique among the modern James
Bond novels, in that a section will contain <b>previously unseen material
written by Ian Fleming</b>. Fleming’s great niece, Jessie Grimond
explains:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">‘In the 1950s Ian Fleming wrote several episode
treatments for a James Bond television series. But it never came to be
made and he ended up turning most of the plots into the short stories that are
now in the collections For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy and The Living Daylights.
However, there are a few plot outlines which he never used and which, till now,
have never been published, or aired. Given that Anthony is as brilliant a
screenwriter as he is a novelist, we thought it would be exciting to see what
he would do with one of them.’</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The treatment which will act as a starting point for Anthony Horowitz’s
Bond novel is titled <b><i>Murder on Wheels</i>,</b> and follows Bond on a
mission in the world of motor racing. Other familiar Fleming characters
which feature in the TV treatment include ‘M’ and Miss Moneypenny.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The novel will be published in the UK and Commonwealth by Orion Publishing
Group and simultaneously by HarperCollins Publishers in USA & Canada.</span></span><br />

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Anthony Horowitz to write new James Bond novel inspired by original unseen Fleming material</span></b></div>
Ian Fleming Publications Ltd. and the Ian Fleming Estate are delighted to announce that bestselling and award-winning author <b>Anthony Horowitz</b> has been invited to write the next James Bond novel, due for <b>worldwide release on 8<sup>th</sup> September 2015</b>.<br />
Horowitz is one of the UK’s most successful authors and has over
forty books to his name including his recent Sherlock Holmes novel, <i>The House of Silk</i>, and his enormously successful teen spy series featuring Alex Rider. As a TV screenwriter he created both <i>Midsomer Murders</i> and the BAFTA-winning <i>Foyle’s War</i>, and is looking forward to taking on his next project:<br />
<i>‘It’s no secret that Ian Fleming’s extraordinary character has
had a profound influence on my life, so when the Estate approached me to
write a new James Bond novel how could I possibly refuse? It’s a huge
challenge but having original, unpublished material by Fleming has been
an inspiration. This is a book I had to write.’</i><br />
Set in the 1950s, Horowitz’s story will be unique among the modern James Bond novels, in that a section will contain <b>previously unseen material written by Ian Fleming</b>. Fleming’s great niece, Jessie Grimond explains:<br />
<i>‘In the 1950s Ian Fleming wrote several episode treatments for a
James Bond television series. But it never came to be made and he ended
up turning most of the plots into the short stories that are now in the
collections For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy and The Living Daylights.
However, there are a few plot outlines which he never used and which,
till now, have never been published, or aired. Given that Anthony is as
brilliant a screenwriter as he is a novelist, we thought it would be
exciting to see what he would do with one of them.’</i><br />
The treatment which will act as a starting point for Anthony Horowitz’s Bond novel is titled <b><i>Murder on Wheels</i>,</b>
and follows Bond on a mission in the world of motor racing. Other
familiar Fleming characters which feature in the TV treatment include
‘M’ and Miss Moneypenny.<br />
The novel will be published in the UK and Commonwealth by Orion
Publishing Group and simultaneously by HarperCollins Publishers in USA
& Canada.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h6Ea9d-hces/U8-BUeFUOCI/AAAAAAAABZM/RoiBvLiEF2k/s1600/B24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h6Ea9d-hces/U8-BUeFUOCI/AAAAAAAABZM/RoiBvLiEF2k/s1600/B24.jpg" height="320" width="207" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>Here we go again ...</b></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It's
July the23rd , and the next James Bond film is due to start
production in about three months – according to the Sony Press
communique of a few months ago .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Except
…</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It is
now well known that filming <i>could</i> start around
December , for various reasons ( meaning the initial world wide
release dates might suffer too from that delay ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Let's
sum up the various causes of this delay .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">First
, the film was announced without its director . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Skyfall
</i>Gold platinium Sam Mendes was adamant about it and wouldn't come
back to direct the next one . This was the first blow to the
Broccoli / Wilson scheme , who decided in an unusual move for <i>Eon</i>
to … Wait for its cherished director to change his mind .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
ploy worked and a few months later , versatile Sam Mendes came back
with a big smile and was announced officialy as the director of
Bond24 . We were then already in 2013 , and still without a proper
script .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Few
were his actual comments about the storyline of said movie – which
was to be devised by his own scriptwriter John Logan ( who already
did some polish on the script of <i>Skyfall </i>) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
director spoke about <i>' unfinished business to attend to , a new
beginning , blablabla … ' .</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> In
short : not a single indication about things to come .</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Consequently
the duo responsible for the writing of the past five Bonds , Ms
Purvis & Wade , graciously decided to bow out of the series (
well , the ' consequently ' is from me , but I guess egos were
prevailling at the times ) .</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">This
very month the </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Daily
Mail</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
revealed that the writing duo was rumored to have returned to the
franchise to add some punch to John Logan’s script. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">It
is understood that the story is still an original one from Logan but
that Purvis and Wade are on board to give it a review . </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">This
is great news ( since the writer of this piece consider the script of
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>SkyFall</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
as the pinacle of the work of mrs Purvis & Wade ) , but can
lightning strike twice ?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">On
other matters now . Tabloïds around the world have reported ' screen
tests ' for actors / actresses to appear in Bond24 .</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Synnove
Macody Lund,</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
Norwegian actress known for her part in </span></span><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Headhunters</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
(2011) leaked the news that she had screen tested for a secondary
Bond girl role in Bond 24. James Bond fan-site MI6 says that screen
test for the production are happening throughout Scandinavia
and </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Birgitte
Hjort Sorensen</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">, </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Ida
Engvoll </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">and
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Disa Östrand </i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">have
been tested. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stunt
coordinator Gary Powell confirmed he was already working on action
sequences for the movie .</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Norway had been mentioned for a while for a major action sequence , but it seems the production finally decided to go in the Austrian Alps instead ( much to the chagrin of the Norwegian Film authorities ) . We can now only assume that 007 will don his skis again ( which he gadn't done since Chamonix Twine chase in 1999 ) . </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">As
far as location scouting goes , the best news came this very week ,
with confirmation that filming should take place in Roma .</span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>Roma
Lazio Film Commission</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
executive , Luciano Sovena , confirmed to Italian press that the
movie will be shot on location in Rome at the end of this year </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>if
all goes well.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Whilst
admitting the city has not seen a lot of film action in recent years,
Sovena was excited that 007 will be coming, but paperwork still needs
to be done.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>"I met the
producers of the Bond series, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
Wilson," said Sovena,</i> <i>"and we discussed the project.
One of the key scenes, among the most spectacular in the film, will
be a car chase in Via Quattro Fontane. I'm already excited. I hope
that the City streamlines the procedures for the granting of permits,
it would be a shame to miss this great opportunity because of the
bureaucracy." </i></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Since
StarWars episode 7 is actually fiming at Pinewood Studios , it is not
known though if Bond will manage to secure his legendary HQ at the
007 stage ...</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">So
far , so good . The film seems to be on good tracks .</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">As of today , August the 1rst , truth finally went out when the <i>Daily Mail </i>openly revealed that the final script - polished ( enhanced, and ' subtantially modified ' ) by ms Purvis & Wade had just been delivered to Eon , for a Shooting start of November / December 2014 .</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Can't
wait to hear about the official Press conference ( initially set for
mid october , but I very doubt it now ) and the start of filming of the main unit ...</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>( illustration is not an official MGM/Sony picture - but a Fan work ) </i></span><br />

Boyd’s new novel.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SOLO is published in the UK by Jonathan Cape. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The book was unveiled last wenesday at the Dorchester Hotel in London ( where incidentally Roger Moore was introduced to the World Press as the new James Bond back in 1973 ).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yours truly was amongst the distinguished members of the International Press and had the honour of asking the writer the very last question at the Press conference ( something about creating a fictionnal country as the setting of the new book ... ) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Writer William Boyd also took part in his first public event this very evening
at the Southbank Centre , as he talks to <i>GQ </i>Literary Editor Olivia Cole
about the experience of creating his own James Bond novel and
his interest in 007′s creator, Ian Fleming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Introducing the
event will be special guest, Lucy Fleming, Ian Fleming’s niece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On Monday 30th September Boyd will be at the <a href="http://www.lyceum.org.uk/news-and-press/entry/authors-richard-dawkins-and-william-boyd-to-visit-the-lyceum" target="_blank">Lyceum</a>

<b>SOLO</b>, the brand new Bond novel by <b>William Boyd</b>, was launched in style at the <b>Dorchester Hotel</b> on London’s Park Lane this morning.<br />
<a class="cboxElement" href="http://www.ianfleming.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Jensen1.jpg" rel="lightbox[3318]" title="Jensen"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3333" height="300" src="http://www.ianfleming.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Jensen1-300x300.jpg" title="Jensen" width="300" /></a>Amidst
TV crews and crowds of Bond fans, the first seven copies of the novel –
SOLO #001 to #007 – were signed by the author and then transported
through London to Heathrow airport in a convoy of seven classic Jensen
cars, Bond’s motor of choice in the new book. Each book, encased in a
perspex briefcase, was escorted by a BA stewardess.<br />

were given the red carpet treatment at Terminal 5, where they were met
by a British Airways captain before being stowed in a secure safe ahead
of their international departure to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Zurich, Los
Angeles, Delhi, Cape Town and Sydney. Each book was strapped into the
cockpit throughout the flight, and will be hand delivered upon arrival
by the plane’s captain to a dedicated contact – including the
international publishers of the book, and, in LA, Ian Fleming’s
great-nephew Robert Laycock.<br />
The setting of the launch mirrored the opening of the new book, where
Bond – a veteran agent at 45 – celebrates his birthday with an evening
of gambling, drinking and fine dining at The Dorchester. And, of course,
he meets a beautiful woman…<br />

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The
cover, which has been designed by renowned Random House Creative
Director Suzanne Dean, features a stunning retro-inspired die-cut design
including, amongst other things, bullet holes. Dean took her
inspiration
from the 1960s setting of the book and design heroes including Saul
Bass, who was also the inspiration for Random House’s Vintage Classics
Ian Fleming series.

James Bond style, the primary colours and bullet holes of the dust
jacket hint at danger, adventure and espionage – whilst removing the

burns and a gecko, a reference to James Bond’s African mission in the
book.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Inspiration
came from my design heroes Paul Rand, Alvin Lustig and Saul Bass, all
of whom were practicing in the sixties and whose style evokes a sense of
the time. Saul Bass, a graphic designer and filmmaker,
was perhaps best known for his design of film posters and
motion-picture title sequences, including <i>Psycho</i>, <i>The Man with the Golden Arm</i>, and <i>North by Northwest</i>.
He once described his main goal for his title sequences as being to
‘try to
reach for a simple, visual phrase that tells you what the picture is
all about and evokes the essence of the story’. Alvin Lustig rejected
the typical cover
design that summarised a book through one general image.
His method was to read a text and get the feel of the author's creative
drive, then to restate it in his own graphic terms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I used the title of the book – <i>Solo</i> –
as my starting point. In the book, Bond goes on an unauthorised solo
mission, recklessly motivated by revenge. I had always been keen, since
finding
out the title, that there might be a way to use the two o’s within <i>Solo</i> and
link it to the zeros in 007. I used the font Folio, a sans-serif font
designed by Konrad Bauer and Walter Baum in 1957 which became popular
during the sixties. It has a strong
circular ‘o’ in its bold version, which formed an important feature
within the design. In my design, the shadows thrown by the overlaying
letters suggest hidden danger and tension, whilst the final ‘o’ in<i> Solo</i> suggests
a door, or an escape route. The
die cut holes in the dust jacket are an abstraction of bullet holes,
and represent a pivotal part of the novel. The holes on the <i>Solo</i> cover
reveal a flash of the red binding below; when you remove the
dustjacket, the binding playfully reveals a gecko
– a reference to Bond’s African mission in the book – and burn holes
from the bullets, giving drama and an interactive expression to the
whole package.’</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Every
decent James Bond Fan in the world is aware of the peculiar
background story concerning this movie . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Not
part of the official <i>Eon</i> cannon , and thus not including all the
usual gimmick ( opening gunbarrel and all ) , the film was launched
at Summer 83 opposite ' the Bond of the moment ' , <i>Octopussy</i> . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It
succeeded at the B.O almost according to plan ( the Roger Moore entry
having the upper hand , but just slightly ) , and fuelled Kevin
McClory with enough confidence to keep announcing in the Trade medias
the iminent production of other <i>Thunderball</i>-based movies in the next
decades ( none of them , including an animated version of the story
) never materialised , as we all know .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As
a regular 007 movie , the film still missed some crucial elements . A
sharper Peter Hunt / John Glenn type of editing , a shorter version (
15 mm could be dropped from the final print without problem ) , a
better soundtrack ( don't get me started on that , please … ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But
30 years later , it's interesting to note that many of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>foolish</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
ideas of the NSNA screenwriters have then been mysteriously adapted
by the <i>Eon</i> franchise in the course of their own recent movies .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In
<i>Skyfall</i>, for example , we see a beaten up , tired ( and slightly
older ) James Bond trying to pass the physical tests to be
reintegrated into active duty ( which is precisely what Bond does at the very beginning of NSNA - at the request of the new M ) .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And
the ' Evil Queen of Numbers ' nickname of M in <i>Goldeneye</i> is a direct
wink towards Bernard Fox' s own ' interpretation of M, infatuated with stats and numbers …</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So
what of this Blu ray edition ?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Encoded
AVC at 2:35 with </span><sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">a </span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">16/9</span><sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th</span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
ratio ( compatible 4/3 ) , the image is superb . </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
three documentaries already present on the 2011 US DvD version have
been added , and they formed a truly great bonus of their own .
Candid interviews with the crew & cast reveal the tortuous way
the film production suffered , and the basic day-by-day struggle to
simply be allowed to shoot a scene according to the peculiar legit
status granted to Kevin McClory .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Of
course , having Sir Sean Connery 's own recollection of the affair
would have been the cherry on the cake but nonetheless those three
mini doc ( approximatively ten minutes long each ) are really top of
the state .</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And
would be sufficient enough for any decent Film fan to buy that disc –
James Bond fan or not . </span>

William Boyd, whose James Bond continuation novel is set to be one of
this year’s publishing highlights, has today announced that his book
will be called Solo.<br /> <br /> The announcement came on the opening day of The London Book Fair, where Boyd is Author of the Day.<br /> <br /> He explained his choice of title:<br /> <br />
‘Sometimes less is more. For me as a novelist the simple beauty of Solo
as the title of the next James Bond novel is that this short
four-letter word is particularly and strikingly apt for the novel I have
written. In my novel, events conspire to make Bond go off on a
self-appointed mission of his own, unannounced and without any
authorization - and he’s fully prepared to take the consequences of his
audacity.<br /> The journey Bond goes on takes in three continents – with
the main focus honing in on Africa. It’s what happens to Bond in Africa
that generates his urge to “go solo” and take matters into his own
hands in the USA.<br /> Thus far and no further, at this stage…’<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-belUGdaH28k/UWxIwjSNLbI/AAAAAAAABG4/L2vM8DIWcBA/s1600/solo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-belUGdaH28k/UWxIwjSNLbI/AAAAAAAABG4/L2vM8DIWcBA/s200/solo.jpg" width="144" /></a></div>
<br /> <br />
He continues: ‘Titles are very important to me and as soon as I wrote
down Solo on a sheet of paper I saw its potential. Not only did it fit
the theme of the novel perfectly, it’s also a great punchy word,
instantly and internationally comprehensible, graphically alluring and,
as an extra bonus, it’s strangely Bondian in the sense that we might be
subliminally aware of the “00” of “007” lurking just behind those
juxtaposed O’s of SOLO…’<br /> <br /> Very little else has been revealed
about the book at this stage, other than that it will feature a veteran
secret agent, with Bond aged 45. It will be published on 26 September in
the UK by Fleming’s original publisher, Jonathan Cape, an imprint of
Vintage Publishing, part of The Random House Group, in hardback, ebook
and audio editions. HarperCollins will publish the book in Canada and
the U.S. on 8 October.</span></span></span></span></span></span></h5>
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-size: small;">E</span>xc<span style="font-size: small;">e</span>pt ... Bond fans around the world will certainly remember<i> ' Solo ' </i>was the original title of Ian Fleming's venture into Television production . And that , due to legal pressure from mrs Broccoli &<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Sal<span style="font-size: small;">t</span>zman - not quite keen on having the name of a minor character from the novel ( and then upcoming film ) <i>Goldfinger </i>used as the title of a new TV series , result<span style="font-size: small;">ed</span> in the series original title ha<span style="font-size: small;">ving</span> to be hastily changed <span style="font-size: small;">before <span style="font-size: small;">actual U.S airing , to become the less subversive <i>' The Man From U.N.C.L.E '</i> ...</span></span><br /> <br /> ‘We are delighted to be announcing Solo
as the title for the new James Bond novel on the day on which William
Boyd is celebrated as Author of the Day at London Book Fair. The few of
us with the good fortune to have read Solo can testify that Will has
written an absolutely brilliant book and we look forward with mounting
excitement to a huge worldwide publishing event on September 26th. The
timing of the announcement is particularly apt as we mark the 60th
anniversary of Jonathan Cape’s first publication of Ian Fleming’s Casino
Royale.’<br /> <br /> The 60th anniversary of Ian Fleming’s first Bond novel, <i>Casino Royale,</i> was on 13 April. </span></span></span></span></span></span></h5>
