TEASERS OF THE JAMES BOND FILMS

Teaser is a film term for a sequence that takes place before a movie’s opening titles—a hallmark of the Eon Productions James Bond series.

JAMES BOND OF THE SECRET SERVICE

Early working title of a script by Kevin McClory, Len Deighton, and Sean Connery that was planned as a remake of Thunderball but was never produced. McClory had cowritten the original story for Thunderball with Ian Fleming and screenwriter Jack Whittingham as part of an early attempt to adapt Fleming’s Bond novels to the screen

His World Never Dies: The Evolution of James Bond by Dave Holcomb – is a new book on James Bond which we found to be a nice read. Dave weaves a story on how Bond has evolved over the decades with some unique insights, a treatment of masculinity, sexism, race, and a concept called the History Gyre.

BOND, JAMES

American ornithologist and author of the famous book “Birds of the West Indies”. Because that book occupied a prominent place on author Ian Fleming’s coffee table in his vacation home in Jamaica, it inspired him, in 1952, to choose “James Bond” as the name of his British Secret Service agent.

BOND, MRS. JAMES

Short-lived identity of the Contessa Teresa “Tracy” di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Only a few minutes after her wedding to Bond (George Lazenby), she’s machine-gunned by Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat)

BOND, SIR JAMES

Retired British Secret Service agent portrayed by David Niven in Casino Royale. In this undisguised parody, which has nothing to do with any of Ian Fleming’s original books, Sir James’ heyday was during World War I when spying was an art form.
