This was done in the post-Fleming literature, but never in the movies. Except it almost was.
Forster said: “Haggis had an idea they weren’t fond of, and I didn’t know if it would work or not. The idea was that Vesper in the last movie, maybe she had a kid, and there would be an orphan out there. It wasn’t anything to insult the franchise. But they felt it wasn’t particularly Bond – him looking for the kid. I think Paul thought he just leaves the kid, he doesn’t deal with it.
So it’s not even Bond’s kid, despite all the headlines. But a child in a Bond movie rubs me WAY the wrong way.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt’s funny, after listening to the most recent Being James Bond podcast, and reflecting on the idea of the James Bond lifestyle, it occurred to me that, as a father, I could never really live that. Kids just seem completely out of place in the JB universe. I began reflecting on the idea that the events in Casino Royale may have left JB damaged to the point that he will never have children, and, to me, that’s as it should be.
