Bond Book 'Too Old' For Big Screen

Film bosses have turned down the chance to adapt the latest James Bond book for the big screen - because its plot is too old-fashioned.

Devil May Care was written by British novelist Sebastian Faulks to commemorate Bond creator Ian Fleming's centenary this year (08).

Faulks confirmed in May (08) that Eon Productions were considering turning the book into a movie - but the plans have since been shelved.

Bond producer Barbara Broccoli says, "Devil May care is a period book which is set in the 1960s and it really wouldn't fit as one of the films that Eon has been producing recently."
