From Sweden With Love contributor Brian James Smith, our man in Scotland, reviews The Hook and The Eye – a Felix Leiter adventure by James Bond continuation author @raymondbenson.bsky.social and published by Ian Fleming Publications today. jamesbond007.se/eng/recensio...

Excellent news! Both are creative producers of successful franchise movies - SPIDER-MAN and HARRY POTTER respectively, as well as many other successful films. Pascal oversaw CASINO ROYALE, QUANTUM OF SOLACE and SKYFALL (the most successful Bond ever), while Heyman brings a British sensibility.

@brianjamessmith.bsky.social reviews The Search For Bond: How The 007 Role Was Won And Lost by Robert Sellers published by The History Press. With Daniel Craig’s departure from the role, it is an indication of what may be going on behind the scenes at this very moment jamesbond007.se/eng/recensio...

@brianjamessmith.bsky.social remember guitarman Vic Flick. Despite playing the most famous film theme in the world, Vic admitted he didn’t have a favourite piece of music. “I’m proud to have been associated with the Bond films, Mancini, Bacharach and countless others” jamesbond007.se/eng/memoriam...

Saddened to hear VIC FLICK passed away, the original JAMES BOND THEME guitarist on DR NO and most of the Connery Bonds. He returned for 1989’s LICENCE TO KILL. I used to stock his CD JAMES BOND NOW. I would just give him a call when it was time to restock. He was a genuinely lovely guy. 🎸
