Craig on 60 Minutes

Interesting that companies don't pay to advertise their products specifically in the film. Didn't know it worked that way.

Reading the first page, Saltzman is barely mentioned. What is the story behind Saltzman being so marginalized? Just a family thing is was there more to it?

I would think it would have to do with the family thing. Emphasis on your own relatives role in the success and not that of the other guy.

Although, I think it is quite unfair considering how after Saltzman left the films took a major hit in terms of quality.

Also forgot that he sold his half of ownership of Bond to the studio, which might have soured things between him and the Broccolis.

Saltzman's mentioned for about 5 seconds, I think.

Interesting featurette, I guess. A lot of focus on the money and the Broccoli Clan, and not so much the essence of the character.

MI6 is already jumping the gun with that bit from 60 Mins: http://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=10510

Until Wilson and Broccoli actually say "we're working on B24", I'll believe it. So far the only thing that seems solid is that writers contracts were inked back in June for the next two Bond films, no doubt because Craig's contract was extended for two more.

Anything to rake in an extra couple of page views.

The new Everything or Nothing documentary has a great deal more about Saltzman. I think it is a family thing. The Eon marketing (in particular its social media marketing) have hardly mentioned Saltzman or Ian Fleming.
