Re: james bond returns.........as a teenager ?
I just hope that he keeps to the same style as Ian Fleming's books, not to the style of the films.
Don't get me wrong, I like the films, but I just think the films were different to the books.

Charlie Higson? The guy from the Fast Show? And he's going to be writing "Young Bond"?

He played various Fast Show characters, including "Fat Tony", "Ted", & others.
I've just found this profile: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/profiles...e_higson.shtml
Does sound like he has done more than simply write / star-in comedies.
"Charlie Higson is also a successful novelist."

God no...
Its not enough that the last bond film was a crock of brown stuff but now they have to create a teenage bond to please the kiddies.
I feel like puking, bond used to be good, not WAY over the top cgi and explosions. Ian Fleming - im sorry man.
