Spectre feels like the end for the Daniel Craig James Bond era. The star is signed for a fifth film and was a producer of the latest 007 adventure who recruited director Sam Mendes to return.

After 24 films and more than 50 years, creators still find inspiration in the Ian Fleming novels. EON Productions went back to the first Fleming novel for Craig’s first film. Casino Royale was followed by Quantum of Solace then Mendes explored Bond’s youth in Scotland in Skyfall. In Spectre, Oberhauser (a father figure in Bond’s life mentioned briefly in a short story) was part of the story that saw the return of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Blofeld to films.

Is there anything left from the Ian Fleming novels that can be used for future films? Here are 7 Ian Fleming story elements for future 007 movies: Continue reading From JAMES BOND Book to Movie, 7 for 007.

The Aston-Martin comes roaring back with other super car action in SPECTRE. The 24th James Bond adventure marks the return of the classic car that dazzled fans in Goldfinger and Thunderball.

Daniel Craig’s latest mission makes nostalgic and look back at our 7 favorite gadgets from the 007 franchise:

Attache Case from From Russia, With Love.

The first proper Bond “gadget” from the second and our favorite film. Q (Major Boothroyd) outfits Bond with this cool case secretly packing ammunition, a sniper rifle, throwing knife, gold sovereigns and a tear gas cartridge. This case was critical in Bond’s Orient Express encounter with the assassin Red Grant (Robert Shaw) one of my favorite henchmen of the series.
