The 007 Scrapbook .

Thunderpussy

Thought I'd start a thread for all sorts of Bond related bits and pieces.
As some times You can come across a Bond related story or link but
Find it doesn't really fit in any thread, as it may be only slightly connected
With 007.
Like yesterday in The Mirror, Ronan Keating stated he'd love to play Bond.
and as the musical he's in is produced by Barbara Broccoli, he might have
A chance ) .
Found this cutting on how Hoover didn't want the FBI mentioned in GF !

The files show how spooked the FBI became at the prospect of being portrayed in the 1964 Bond movie Goldfinger, in which 007 foils the eponymous baddie in an attempt to steal bullion from Fort Knox.

Good idea, Thunderpussy. I had previously thought about starting an 007 Scrapbook myself.

The man who helped bring Ian Fleming's dashing secret agent James Bond to film is remembered by his children as a loving father who abandoned the lucrative franchise and skipped Los Angeles for St. Petersburg so he could devote more time to his wife. The late Harry Saltzman, in other words, was the antithesis of the British agent, who romanced different women in each Bond film.

Thank you for your kind words, Thunderpussy.

Indeed, I am a Bond fan, but have never been an avid collector. Therefore, my knowledge is pretty limited regarding the people behind the camera, behind the scenes information, etc. So I find some of this stuff very interesting myself.

On January 1st, 2015, the works of Ian Fleming entered the public domain in a number of countries. That means that the character of James Bond is no longer copyrighted in those countries, just like Sherlock Holmes has been for a while. But it doesn't mean that it's suddenly open season on that character.
