James Bond
James Bond, also known as 007, is a sophisticated fictional character and British spy created by writer Ian Fleming. Introduced in 1953, Bond is the main protagonist in numerous novels and short stories by Fleming, and after Fleming's death further literary adventures were written by Kingsley Amis, John Pearson, Raymond Benson and Charlie Higson among others.
James Bond is best known from the EON Productions film series. As of 2005 twenty official and two unofficial films have been made, with a twenty-first official film now in pre-production for release in 2006. Bond has been officially portrayed by actors Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan. The majority of the films were produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. Broccoli's daughter and stepson, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, later became the producers. Below are all those Bond Films - shaken, not stirred.
