Daniel Craig\u2019s 007 may have gone out with a literal bang in 2021\u2019s No Time To Die<\/a>, but James Bond author Anthony Horowitz has an issue with the movie\u2019s controversial ending. Best known for his series of Alex Rider novels<\/a>, Horowitz has also been commissioned by Ian Fleming\u2019s estate to pen three official 007 novels, beginning with 2015\u2019s Trigger Mortis.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with Radio Times<\/a> about his new mystery show, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, Horowitz explained why he would never contemplate writing a screenplay for a new James Bond movie, despite having already written three official 007 books. Check out his comments below:<\/p>\n

You need a thick skin for that business [of dealing with big-budget film producers]. I\u2019m probably happier out of it.<\/p>\n

Horowitz also went on to explain that the decision to kill Craig\u2019s Bond in the final moments of No Time to Die was a mistake, and he would not know where to begin in terms of resurrecting the character for the franchise\u2019s next installment. Check out his final comments below:<\/p>\n

The last time we saw Bond he was poisoned and blown to smithereens \u2013 how will they get past the fact he is dead with a capital D? I think that was a mistake, because Bond is a legend. He belongs to everybody, he is eternal \u2013 except in that film.<\/p>\n

If I was asked tomorrow to write the script, I wouldn\u2019t be able to do it. Where would you start? You can\u2019t have him waking up in the shower and saying it was all a dream.<\/p>\n

\"Daniel
\n Daniel Craig’s James Bond is sailing in No Time to Die<\/p>\n

While the James Bond movies have always had a loose approach to maintaining continuity between the character\u2019s various incarnations, the decision to kill off Craig\u2019s Bond<\/a> at the end of his final movie still came as a surprise to many.<\/p>\n

Even though established audiences are all expecting the next Bond movie to take place within a freshly rebooted continuity, some more casual viewers are still likely to experience a certain degree of confusion when Bond 26 introduces the next 007 to the world.<\/p>\n

No matter how well Bond 26 director Denis Villeneuve<\/a> and screenwriter Steven Knight work to establish their version of the character, the decision to kill off Bond for the first time in the franchise\u2019s decades-long history will likely still have a lingering effect on how he is received moving forward.<\/p>\n

Our Take On Moving On After Bond\u2019s On-Screen Death<\/p>\n

\"Daniel
\n Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time to Die<\/p>\n

Curiously, while Horowitz may not know how he would approach his own Bond 26 script, the author has already utilized the perfect device to cleanly separate the new Bond era from that of the recent Craig movies. Rather than placing his version of 007 in the modern world, Horowitz\u2019s books take place in the same era as Fleming\u2019s original tales.<\/p>\n

With Knight already well known for writing historical fiction, there is probably no better screenwriter to tap into this same approach and deliver a Cold War Bond taken straight from Fleming\u2019s original pages. By placing the new Bond back into his original setting, Bond 26 could easily delineate the character from the one who died in No Time To Die.<\/p>\n
