E-book details script development of 007 films

Promotion for Scripting 007

A new e-book, Scripting 007, examines script development of the Eon Productions series of James Bond movies.

The e-book, by Clement Feutry, runs more than 1,300 pages. Scripting 007 traces various treatments and draft screenplays for each film. It can be downloaded free of charge.

Here’s part of a description:

You know the name, you know the number, but do you know… How it was planned to pit Bond against Goldfinger’s twin brother on several occasions? What exactly was in the script for the canceled spin-off about the character of Jinx, envisioned after Die Another Day? How Thunderball was first envisaged as a film, before becoming a novel, then a film, and yet another film later? What would Timothy Dalton’s third film look like? What is this action scene in the London postal railway network that was imagined for four films but never ended in any of them? How Max Zorin’s character original plan was to divert a comet and make it crash into Silicon Valley? 

“This is the History (with a capital H) of the James Bond cinematographic saga,” Feutry said in the e-book’s introduction.
