It's hardly unknown for the Bond series to follow. LALD cashed in on blacksploitation movies, TMWTGG on the Kung-fu craze, TSWLM came out after Jaws and had a shark and even a baddie called, er, Jaws, while Moonraker went into production as a result of the success of Star Wars. License to Kill was an attempt to make a more hard-edged 80s movie in a Lethal Weapon/Die Hard mould (borrowing Robert Davi from the latter). And of course, the whole reboot of the Craig era was in order to take on the likes of the Bourne and Batman (Nolan era) movies.
^ Yeah, I know what you mean. I suspect that the story isn't accurate anyway.
The problem with the idea of the head of SPECTRE being Bond's long-lost brother is that it's the plot of Goldmember...
Daniel Craig has injured his knee, requiring arthroscopic surgery. It's believed to have happened shooting a fight scene. However, it's not expected to delay filming:

Yep.
Good ad. At first I was disappointed that it was all just a rehash of the first teaser trailer, but then we got some great new footage at the end.
On a side-note, anybody heard/read anything about Dynamite's new Bond comics since the initial announcement in late '14?
Nope. This SDCC will be a year since they announced they had the Bond license. Perhaps they'll announce something in three weeks at SDCC -- but I'm not holding my breath.
Just realized, they could be timing it to launch in October or November, to use the SPECTRE hype. I'm hoping that's it. Alright, let's wait SDCC out
Been too long without new Bond comics, I really wonder what the big deal is. Bond is such a visual franchise, you'd think it was perfect for comics.

I'm kinda scared that's going to be what happens...
... or his Fahjah... I mean Father...
Finally, some news on the new comics, and good ones at that; starting in November, Dynamite is publishing an on-going monthly "James Bond 007" title, with none other than Warren Ellis writing, and Jason Marsters on art.

Who is ready for... "James Bond, The Musical"?
Well, they've got some music to work with.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been done up till now. It seems tailor made for Broadway, especially if you go the 60s period piece route. You've already got an intro built around a song and dance number, and if they can get the rights to use some of the other songs to mix in between original music that would be great. I wonder if they're going to do projections of the dancers against a backdrop for the intro, or go for dancers swimming in a big water tank, which would call back to some of the old elaborate swimming stage productions.
Heck, didn't Norman originally compose the theme for a musical?
