The elongated, character-populated worlds of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones have been familiar fare to younger readers for over two decades,” points out Mark O’Connell, author of Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan. “That Sherwood could create new 007-minded worlds and personalities is only a good thing for Bond as he moves forwards into the 21st century.”But perhaps, even if a film centred on a female 007 isn’t on the cards, there is scope for a Bondless Bond. It was announced on Thursday that British novelist Kim Sherwood will be writing a trilogy of official Bond sequels in which 007 is missing (Bond wasn’t ever killed in the books). Instead of reanimating Ian Fleming’s beloved character as previous sequels by Kingsley Amis, Sebastian Faulks and Anthony Horowitz have done, Sherwood is going to write about a new cast of double-O agents that have replaced Bond and his contemporaries. Leave the World Behind’ Review: Sam Esmail’s Apocalyptic Chamber Piece Is a Messy Plea to Stay Human Amid Chaos Before we tread too deeply into these waters, let me just start by saying that I’ve always dug Brosnan as 007. No other MI6 agent has looked better in a tuxedo than he did and he had the perfect mix of cool-cat man of mystery, hair-trigger danger, and smooth playboy smarm. But I also think that a pretty open-and-shut case can be made that he was the one great Bond who never appeared in a great Bond film. And I’d also argue that his best outing was his first, 1995’s GoldenEye—a solid-but-still-second-tier 007 outing—which just happened to hit theaters 25 years ago today.
I would describe Hero 007 as a medium writer - not too wet, not to dry. The hooded nib is smooth, and works fine on all papers I've tried to pierce with it. I would say that the nibs that were good out of box are surprisingly good. Anthony Horowitz on the other hand, who is currently finishing his third Bond novel, “can’t wait to read [Sherwood’s] take on the 007 section and to find out who the other agents might be”, calling her a “fresh and inspired choice”. The release of new Bond films might come to represent a flagship product in a multimedia entertainment franchise Jaap Verheul Of course, a simple “evolve or die” situation wouldn’t satisfy a legacy as rich as Bond’s, nor a performance as layered as Craig’s. From the moment he got his license to kill, Craig has stood out from his predecessors for being the most bulletproof 007 to ever wear that tuxedo, but also the most vulnerable. His Bond is as sensitive as an exposed nerve, and yet still able to laugh off a direct blow to the testicles from Mads Mikkelsen; he bleeds the same way as the rest of us, but scabs over twice as hard. Connery will always be treasured for giving birth to the character, but it’s Craig who finally allowed him to grow up.
