Anthony Horowitz originated and wrote much of the “Foyle’s War” BBC-tv series. He knows his historical stuff and can really put together a plot.
That is to say, there’s the potential for him to produce an awfully good novel using the Bond oeuvre.
Horowitz also did Collision, an artful and clever mini-series built around a car accident.
I liked the Foyle series a lot, especially the last (?) series where Foyle joins MI5.
As for James Bond, I like Dennis Craig as Bond, but Horowitz normally has more cerebral heroes.
It would be of great interest to me for someone to make a new Bond flick with less formula and more intrigue, suspense.
