Terence Young: James Bond's Creator? Young reasoned that a 1962 audience might not buy a hero who simply did his job and in the meantime slept with any woman he felt like, without seeming as derelict as the villain he was disposing of. Young knew that if James Bond were going to differentiate himself from the standard, run of the mill hero, he needed three things that heretofore the character was lacking. Young had done his job and felt that with FRWL Bond had been taken about as far as he could be without moving drastically away from the thriller genre into the general entertainment field. www.hmss.com /films/young.htm   (2295 words)

Young Bond: Silverfin - Book #1: A James Bond Adventure (Young Bond) on All Consuming I read with irritation that he’d got the Young Bond gig, assuming this to be the literary equivalent of the stunt casting that’s led to comedy actors colonising half the straight roles in British drama. James may be raw as yet – though he picks up a few tips and tricks along the way – but he’s recognizably Bond: determined, capable and decisive. Young James isn’t aided and abetted by contraptions assembled by the school geek; nor is he forced to face off against kids with deadly braces, prosthetic limbs or lethally-customised school uniforms. allconsuming.net /item/view/23215   (1009 words)

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: War Bonds War bonds are a method of financing war that reduces demand for goods and services by taking money out of circulation through investment in the bonds. But World War II bonds are probably better remembered simply because, by then, mass media had expanded considerably and the scale of the media campaign was greater. War bonds were but one of the means at the government's disposal to regulate the wartime economy. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419101296   (626 words)

007 James Bond: Pierce Brosan Web Page Off-hand charm and self-deprecating comic timing were two of the qualities this dashing Irish-born leading man brought to his winning portrayal of the sophisticated, often inept, con man/private investigator Remington Steele on the long-running TV series (NBC, 1982-87) of the same name. The actor's casual panache and his gift for quippery led the producers of the James Bond movies to select Pierce Brosnan as the new Bond upon the departure of Roger Moore in 1986. At the last moment, the canceled Remington Steele was renewed, and Pierce Brosnan was contractually obligated to remain with the program, forcing him to relinquish the James Bond role to the less suitable Timothy Dalton. piercebrosnan.jamesbond-online.com   (931 words)

icWales - Young James Bond fans want 'more gore' from author COMEDIAN and writer Charlie Higson has blamed the fact that his Young James Bond series is so gory on his own "bloodthirsty" children. Using his three young boys as a barometer of how the book is developing, Higson said that he always reads to them as he is writing and takes notes from his main audience. The writer also revealed that a graphic novel was in the pipeline for Silverfin and that he was in talks about film versions of Young James Bond, but they wouldn't appear until readers had read all five books. icwales.icnetwork.co.uk /0100news/0200wales/tm_objectid=17151041&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=young-james-bond-fans-want--more-gore--from-author-name_page.html   (551 words)

CBBC Newsround | UK | Q&A with young Bond creator Charlie Higson Charlie Higson is the author of the young James Bond novels which tell the story of the world's most famous spy as a teenage schoolboy. His second Bond book, Blood Fever, is out now, and sees the young James on even more secret missions in dangerous territory. I liked the idea of James teaming up with someone who was a bit of a villain, and it's useful to have characters who can do all the really dirty work for James - who is not allowed to kill people himself. news.bbc.co.uk /cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4580000/newsid_4583700/4583706.stm   (982 words)

Books | James Bond's schooldays His young Bond has nothing to do with the animated "James Bond Jnr" spin-off from the Bond films or RD Mascott's much-praised 1967 cult classic James Bond Junior 003, both of which concern Bond's "nephew". This also prevents Higson's young Bond being just a pale imitation of Alex Rider, the hero of Anthony Horowitz's wildly successful series of children's books, which in themselves nod in the direction of the Bond films. In a sense, a young Bond can never be the "real" Bond because adult readers won't believe that the real Bond would have had such childhood adventures. books.guardian.co.uk /print/0,,5140156-99943,00.html   (541 words)
