Devil May Care - Review Roundup

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:04:18 BST

A week after it's publication, the latest James Bond novel, Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks, has received mixed reviews. According to theBookseller.com, the novel "was judged enjoyable by most, but some of the reviewers preferred to highlight its faults". Jeffrey Taylor of the Sunday Express was the most positive reviewer, describing Devil May Care as "a warm-hearted, superbly crafted pastiche and like all good reproductions has its own unique quality . . . the depth of Faulks's research is staggering and relentlessly played back as the precisely judged chapters ease you along". Below is a round-up of comments from some of the reviews: "Smattered with plausible Bondisms" Daily Mail "Superbly crafted pastiche" Sunday Express "Sometimes it all seems a little familiar" Daily Express "Full of lazy errors" Mail on Sunday "A brave effort" Observer "A superficially classic Bond caper" Times "Everything is laboriously spelled out" Financial Times by Golrush007

'Fleming' biopic in the works

Wed, 14 May 2008 09:42:28 BST

According to the LA Times, Leonard DiCaprio has become a producer on 'Fleming', a screenplay by Damian Stevenson about the life of James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming. The current version of the screenplay begins on the eve of Fleming's wedding to Ann Rothermere, which took place shortly before the publication of Casino Royale, followed by flashbacks to Fleming's earlier years with Reuters, and then with Naval Intelligence during World War II. Producer Andrew Lazar pointed out that the aim is not to emulate the Bond films, but rather to show the fascinating way that Fleming's own life "informed the James Bond character". This is not the first production to tell Fleming's story. 1989's, 'Goldeneye' starred Charles Dance as Fleming. Also in 1990 Jason Connery played Fleming in 'The Secret Life of Ian Fleming', and in 2005 'Bondmaker' starred Ben Daniels as Fleming. by Golrush007
