The next books to film

Re: The next books to film

How many sequels has the Bond movies had? I guess you're right ,even Bond got boring when Ian Flemming's material was used up.

20 movies so far by the same group of producers. If you count a spoof and another version it's 22.

There is another one planned for 2006 called Casino Royale.

Re: The next books to film

Bond movies are not sequels. They are self contained stories. A sequel is a work continuing the course of a story begun in a preceding one.

Well they do have some characters that appear in most if not all of the movies, like "M", "Q", Moneypenny and of course James Bond himself. Also some of the plot lines span movies too like Spectre.

So maybe it's a series of movies. In any event 20 is an impressive number. Star Trek only had 10, Star Wars went for 6 movies, Dirty Harry had 5. There might be other series/sequels out there.

number 21: never say never again
# 22 1967's Casino Royale spoof
# 23 2006 Casino Royale
#24 and the first:
"Climax!" live television "Casino Royale" broadcast 21 October 1954
Had... Barry Nelson as Jimmy Bond, Linda Christian as the Bond girl, Peter Lorre as the villain, Le Chiffre. Michael Pate as Clarence Leiter. Leiter in this was the Britsh agent, and Bond was CIA. funny. Have this on video. It is strange to see a one take straight through live production complete with flubs they had to live with and continue acting through.

Do you know how many of these films were based on Ian Flemming's actual works in Playboy or novels?
