Anthony Horowitz, author of three continuation novels (Trigger Mortis, Forever and a Day, and With A Mind To Kill), has given several interviews this year in which he's expressed his feelings about Eon's decision to kill off James Bond in 2021's No Time To Die:
“I do think it was a mistake, if I may say so, to kill Bond at the end of the last film, and I regretted seeing that, because Bond, you can’t kill him, he is an icon. He is a legend. He belongs to everybody, he is eternal – except in that film."
I couldn't agree more! Happily, the creatives behind No Time to Die are gone (buried under stacks of money, apparently) and we have a new team in charge. Horowitz gave his thoughts on them as well:
"David Heyman, who I have met in the past, is a fan. He’s the man behind the Harry Potter films, and he is probably our most successful producer if not (just) in the UK, in the entire world. And I do think with him and Amy Pascal is going to be in safe hands. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens."
Now, if we could just resurrect 007 in a proper book!
