Will we see adaptions of Non-Fleming's Bond Novels?

MilleniumForce

Now that most of the stories (or should I say titles) of the original bond books are gone, will we ever see films based on Non-Fleming novels? And what would your opinions be?

LPFilms

Some of the films didn't really use plots close to the stories they were named after (YOLT, TSWLM, Moonraker, AVTAK). They can still use those plots, but change things up enough so they don't end up with the same names, characters, and or story-bits. Aside from that, I personally don't really see them making films based on Colonel Sun, Devil May Care, or Carte Blanche etc. It's a great idea for material, though.

I hope they make Devil May Care into a film, but I highly doubt that

In regards to the Non-Fleming Books, they have used some small Elements from one or two of them. AVTAK has the Ascot Race Course from License Renewed, and the Blimp Climax is from Role Of Honor. Both are from J Gardner -{

The Greek Setting from FYEO was originally from Colonel Sun by Kingsley Amis.

I read somewhere that apparently there was a Deal between EON and the Fleming Estate, which stipulated that only the Fleming Books and Stories would adapted. It's most likely just a Rumor though

Though I've enjoyed reading most of the non-Fleming Bond books, I hope they stick to at least a Fleming thread in the coming Bond films, even if it's just a title reference, character, or scenario. Given the license they've taken over the years, one would think that the short stories and books could still provide material for many films to come.

Agreed, plenty of Fleming left to be used in new stories. Even spectre
Has a tie in with the short story Octopussy -{
