did anyone else hear how they had commisioned a writer to write several books about the teen years of bond? aparently, it wil be all about his escapades at Eton

haven't heard of it cermie

What are his escapades at Eton?

we'll find out

"Pretty In Pink"?

I like the "in" part

here is a link to the only scrap on info i could find on this

great spotting cermie!

and btw, top score at the quiz

James Bond as a schoolboy! How cute

that dirty devil! getting it on at that age! oh my pure mind!

your what?

his adventures have already started, that must mean he was acting JB-like even back then

he IS JB

I mean the way JB is portrayed in the movies!

but making him that cold as a kid ... that's mean

he's not cold... just a little bit unstable when it comes to relationships

and when killing people

but that's fun

at his age???

oh well, he can try bunnies

bunnies? I hope you mean something else

I didn't mean anything serious

I hope he doesn't either

no no no NO! no more killing innoncent bunny rabbits

omg I forgot you are obsessed with bunnies

I can picture it, the new Bond Book: licence to hunt
bond sets out to shoot off all the evil duracel bunnies

not obsessed, just they are so cute! and everyone tries to kill them

I just do cause I have a contract running

terminate it?

the bunnies? yes

They did something similiar to that producing the Story of Ian Fleming showing how Ian Fleming was in his teen years and how he came up with the idea of James Bond.

However, if they did plan to write a novel serial like that of Young Jedi Knights in Star Wars, Bond would have to go through many adventures like the character of James Bond Jr. did in the cartoon several yrs ago.

perhaps that's overdoing it than?

I suspect it will be more about his "detective" abilities and whatever happened in perhaps his personal life to "CREATE" a man capable of being an assassin. More "character development" in other words.

I don't believe people are "born" killers - some may have a genetic predisposition to being a killer of some sort (assassin, serial killer, or just capable of defending your country in times of war) - but there are usually triggers - or factors that the agency (MI-6, CIA, KJB - ??) can then manipulate or utilize somehow to fully "convert" an individual to that potential.

Given all that - it could be quite fascinating to discover what made James Bond into "007"!!

it would be otherwise quite cruel to make this guy as a teenager already a killer

well, born killers... you had Zorin who was already a nut at birth with what that doctor pulled on him, so I guess in the JB-world it is possible to create such a person

It is just me or any of you have seen or heard of some cartoons/Tv series called James Bond Jr. I remember I used to watch them, anyway, is about the James Bond's teen years.

I would find it intriguing if James Bond found himself as a spy in the 22nd or 23rd century. A futuristic Bond. Now that would be interesting. Who wants to read about Bond 70 years ago? Readers want more up-to-date or futuristic stories, not sleepers. That movie The Secret Life of Ian Fleming was good enough for me. It pretty much told me everything I needed to know about the history of Bond. That's my opinion.

It would become action/sci fi movie? or storyline or book?

yeah! kal! I saw that series... found it ok but haven't seen it anymore lately

I don't want futuristic stories with bond in it

They were kind of funny and not as violent as the movie
The books are not as violent as the movies... I haven't read the books but I read this somewhere.

and you had this familymember of Q too in it
you should read the books

Have you? :P
I would, someday, I really like reading

no, in the series I ment
that's why I said you should read them
