None of the stories that Craig played Bond in were written by Ian Fleming anyway...

"Casino Royale" was the first Bond story written by Fleming and the first Craig Bond movie.

None of the movies were 100% in line with the Fleming books. "From Russia with Love", "Goldfinger", and OHMSS were the closest. Others simply borrowed a title and several scenes were lifted from different books altogether. The Faberge egg in "Octopussy" was lifted from "The Property of a Lady" which was in the collection of short stories "Octopussy and the Living Daylights." The scene of being dragged behind the boat in "For Your Eyes Only" was lifted from "Live and Let Die."

Yes, indeeed...

Movie MOONRAKER is different from novel MOONRAKER...Hugo Drax is still the villain in the novel...However, in the novel, he does not deal with space shuttles...His main weapon is the rocket...

Novel SPY WHO LOVED ME is about Agent 007 dealing with gangsters in upstate New York...
