James Bond in Reboot Mode
While we await word on the fate of Bond 23, it seems that 007 has gone into reboot mode in terms of his literary and video game adventures.
To start off with, Ian Fleming Publications had previously announced "Project X," a James Bond novel to be written by Jeffrey Deaver. The news, however, is that this will be a reboot, reintroducing the character to the modern world. For more on that, just check out the video interview with Deaver below.
On the video game front, GoNintendo.com has gotten information on a reboot of the GoldenEye Nintendo 64 game, with the site noting, "GoldenEye for Nintendo 64 was a game that defined a genre. Now, after 13 years of gaming innovation, the legend is re-imagined. Developed from the ground up for the Wii, GoldenEye takes advantage of the latest technology to deliver the same intense experience with today’s graphics and physics. Play a modernized version of the classic story with the new Bond (Daniel Craig), more lethal and cunning than ever as you take on missions around the world. Relive all the legendary moments from the original game; St Petersburg, the Caribbean and numerous other levels. Leverage the classic arsenal of weapons and gadgets as you fight Onatopp, Trevelyan and their adversaries, from the classic PP7 to the high tech assault rifle, sniper rifles and even the tank. The enhanced multiplayer experience offers 4 player splitscreen like the original and introduces 8-player online matches. GoldenEye is 13 years better, are you?"
As with all rumors, handle them with a grain of salt until there is an official announcement.
