There are certain characters in pop culture who, regardless of the actor who reflects them, create a certain kind and feeling about them when they were thought and talked about. For example, a broad public image of Batman is someone in a cape and a cap that stands out during the fight against crimes, which dominates, despite the difference in the bay between Adam West and Christian Bale. James Bond is undoubtedly such a character; While he was played only six different actors for 63 years on cinema screens – and all these actors brought something so unique to their portraits that they often ranked against each other In the order of personal preferences -still there is a sequence of persona pop culture.
The reason for this is actually quite direct. When Albert R. « Cuba » broccoli and Harry Saltsman in 1961 created Productions Eon Production Became a franchise A repetitive formula will be presented for this in a few short years. Broccoli and Saltsman, obviously Roald Dahl – Actual Plan to follow When in 1967 the writer was hired on the handle « You live twice », the manufacturer considered to be a faithful formula for a successful bond function. Although Eon’s bond formula has been revised just in decades, the heirs of Throne Barbara Brocoli and Michael G. Wilson remained true throughout their stay.
However, several bonds that are not included in Eon appeared on the screen. One of them as strange « Never say never again. » While Connears in this movie are still a cognitive version of the bond that we all know and love, another example of non-Enon’s screen connection is definitely not. Over the years before Eon did « Doctor », in the first novel CBS Network Licensed Conder Ian Fleming’s to adapt to the clock episode in which Bond is displayed fashion, which seems completely unrecognizable in retrospective.
Americanize James Bond
« Casino Royale », The first novel, which chronicles the adventures of the British Agent for the Secret Service of James Bond, the author (and former British officer of the Military Intelligence) Jan Fleming, became broken in England when he was published in 1953. Although the novel was not as popular in America as in the UK, which did not stop the publishers and film producers and television manufacturers sees the potential of the material. In the end, by the early 50’s, American entertainment was imbued with cellulose and detective fiction for several decades, and works by authors such as Dasiel Hamet, Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain, help create a genre that we know as a movie-noard. The law that conceded, gave way, gave way. So, it is not surprising that the producers see the cynical, cold Fleminga agent as a potential new source of more this type.
However, American publishers and producers, who may have been influenced by the growing xenophobia in the country, may erroneously believe that the US audience confuses the clear European adventure of Fleming, insisting on the Bond and Casino Royale. So the novel itself was published in the USA with the cover that made it look like a sticky detective story And it was restored with the name of the pulp « You asked for it. » The reason for this change is brazenly is the marketing more than everything else, and the popular publishers of the library imitate the novels of detective crimes that were already on the shelves. However, according to Raymond Benson « James Bond’s Bed Company », The official reasoning was that the publisher was experiencing that the Americans would not be able to say « Royale ». Cursing you, further « e! »
The only appearance of an American agent « Jimmy » Bond
Eviling from the deep British novel Fleming, the adaptation of « CBS » Casino Royale « (within the » CLIMAX! « TV series » Anthology « ) decided to go ahead and make its hero the American nickname » Jimmy « Bond (episode using the nickname only as a back cover, « Combing Agency. In an episode written by Anthony Ellis and Charles Bennett (veterans of some spy films Alfred Hichkok, such as » 39 steps « and » sabotage « ), Bond plays bars Nelson, the random norms of the noir in the films like the » shadow « .
Despite the fact that the episode naturally makes a lot of changes to the novel 213 pages of Fleming, condensing it to the 50-minute drama, it manages to keep the central concept of Bond, which requires a better enemy le ciffre (played no less than Peter Laure) in the Bacarat game. It is amazing how several changes serve for further American bonds, including changing its American contact Felix Leiter at a British agent named Clarence (Michael Pate). While Nelson acquires itself well enough in the roleAll these changes in Bond’s Person from Fleming’s novel leave him a little more than a spy character’s stereotypical cliché. The special qualities of the bonds already present in Fleming’s prose have not been found anywhere, and thus the original excitement of the character and novels died; A few years later, CBS even turned to Fleming to develop a current bond series, but the project was removed before it passed before the cameras.
« Casino Royale » CBS creates a precedent for a bond that was almost (and can still become) a reality
When the broccoli and Saltsman threw the « Doctor », they overcame several names before landing on Connery, one of which was Carrie Grant (which was rejected, given that the producers were insightful to make someone who made future films in the series). Despite the fact that the grant perfectly held a mixed British and American accent, his screen person usually coded it as an American, especially compared to the unmistakable Scottish cavalry. Thus, Bond was almost established as a dim American. However, this concept (perhaps delayed from the Royale Casino and its adventures in America) was quickly fired as soon as Connera’s appeal helped to make a connection with an international phenomenon.
However, the possibility of an Americanized bond has arisen again and actually reached the screen. … like. If « Octopus », The 13th Production of the Eon’s bonds was developed in 1982, Roger Moore insisted on leaving the role behind, and rumors, rumored, starting with his previous appearance as a character, « only for your eyes ». At first, Eon took the masonry from his word and began a wide search for his replacement. Although people like Timothy Dalton (who eventually takes role) and Michael Billington were included in this search, the biggest contender for the role was the American star: James Brolly. Brollyn even went to the test of testing on the part, frames that can be seen Most of the « octopus » home media released. It is undoubtedly surprising to see how carefully American Brolin delivers Bona’s curves as a character without this distinctive British aroma.
Fortunately (and, in irony), it was the coming view of Connera in « Never Cane Never », which allowed the producers to convince the masonry, and since Bond has played some way that was grown in the UK. Who knows, however; With the recent sale of Amazon character rights, the likelihood that we can still see the American bond may be low but never zero. The irony is that when it happens, the fan -baza cannot completely criticize the choice, because going against the precedent because Jimmy Bond Nelson first hit the screens.
