One of the reasons that villains such as Javier Bardem’s Silva and Mads Mikkelsen’s Le Chiffre were so terrifying were that they felt realistic a ruthless internet hacker and the arms dealer of a major drug cartel were far more believable than a crazy SPECTRE terrorist hell-bent on creating a ridiculous weapon. Placing Bond within the center stage of American capitalism is an inherently exciting prospect how would Bond react to figures such as Succession’s #1 boy, Kendall Roy ( Jeremy Strong)? Seeing Bond face off against greedy Wall Street tycoons would certainly be an interesting new take on the Bond villain. However, 1979’s Moonraker has nothing in common with the legitimately thrilling, reality-based Fleming novel that didn’t feature lasers, Jaws, or the idea of James Bond going to space. 2006’s Casino Royale is a fairly straightforward adaptation that even uses specific lines from the novel, including Bond’s venomous final words for Vesper Lynd ( Eva Green), the one “Bond girl” that actually broke his heart.
“007 in New York” is one of only four of Fleming’s original titles that have yet to be adapted, alongside “Risico,” “The Hildebrand Reality,” and “The Property Of The Lady.”īond fans know that some of the film adaptations tend to be more accurate than others. Fleming’s personal exploits were actually the subject of an underrated 2014 miniseries titled Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, which starred Dominic Cooper as a version of the author who was just as suave and debonair as 007 himself. A feature film version of “007 in New York” would be the perfect way for the next era of the franchise to find a new, globalized element that shows how Bond is perceived by a different country.įleming’s life was actually just as exciting as the characters he created, as his adventures in the navy between 19 were thought to serve as the inspiration for many of his stories. While the Craig era of the franchise explored how Bond fit into a post-9/11 world and spent time detailing his relationship with Felix Leiter ( Jeffrey Wright), there hasn’t been a Bond film that has spent a significant amount of time in New York. However, that singular element is enough to warrant the expansion into a feature length adventure, as Bond has only occasionally traveled to the United States over the course of the franchise.
Unlike some of Fleming’s other shorts, there’s more focus on Bond’s opinions about his “American cousins” rather than the details of his mission. Bond ventures to New York City in order to inform an American CIA agent that her boyfriend is actually in league with the KGB, and completes his mission with relative ease. The 12-page adventure was originally published in the October 1963 edition of the New York Herald Tribune, and focused on Bond’s somewhat tumultuous adventures in the Big Apple. Disclaimer: Button Badges are NOT Suitable for Children under 36 Months.Compared to some of Fleming’s other short stories that were adapted to the big screen, such as Quantum of Solace and The Living Daylights, “007 in New York” is relatively light on plot.
