What if James Bond was created earlier, during World War 1? How would the franchise evolve if it survived into present day? Bonus points if Fleming still writes some of the books and films are still made.
Interesting.
It's possible it would be more undercover work, behind enemy lines; in the 1910s, that would've made sense.A grittier Richard Hannay? From John Buchan's thriller/espionage tales - "The 39 Steps" etal. Hannay was supposedly inspired by Edmund Ironside
Of course.There are a lot of stories you could tell with Bond in the 20s and 30s. Soviet Union, Germany, Ireland, anywhere really during the Great Depression.
You would have James Bond shooting Nazis. The mere thought of that gives me Goosebumps.

OK, your agent could have a different name. And be written by a different author.
Hmmm.. so, Richard Hannay it is!
