I just can’t imagine a Bond film I’d rather see than one written by Warren Ellis. He absolutely nails the character of Bond (particularly from the books), and seems to have a very keen insight into the movie version.
Bond is not a superman. He prevails because he is quite simply nastier and more determined to wreak utter bloody havoc than the next guy. In some ways – and I don’t think Fleming was unaware of this – he is what Allen Ginsberg called “bleak male energy,� causing and taking immense damage in single-minded pursuit of what he wants.

He is England’s blunt instrument of international assault – the spiteful, vicious bastard of a faded empire that still wants the world to do as it’s bloody well told.
Most importantly; he beats people up and makes stuff explode.
Yeah. I think a Warren Ellis Bond film would be, well, just fucking amazing. I so hope this happens. (via)
