Decades later, we know how they fared. Ali disappeared punch drunk into the wings, The Beatles got into a fight, John died and then George, but on 007, time had no hold. Seventy years after 'Casino Royale' came out as author Ian Fleming's first Bond thriller, the British secret agent is as immortal today as he was at the start of his first adventure.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> 'No Time to Die' <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, there are fans who follow the film pages with trepidation because the dramatic finale of 'No Time to Die' leaves little room for a resurrection, but that is a misconception. James is doomed to live, like an Achilles without a heel. For the body, we know from Sean Connery and Roger Moore, is finite, but the spirit is not. It will rise again and again in a new story, in a different actor. In the end, there is only one weapon that will be able to take James Bond to his grave, and that is the box office. Only when the 'box office' stops delivering will the eternal hero be finished.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22935\" style=\"width: 913px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22935\" class=\"wp-image-22935 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-903x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Karlovy Vary remake\" width=\"903\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-903x1024.jpg 903w, https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-768x871.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-1354x1536.jpg 1354w, https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-1805x2048.jpg 1805w, https:\/\/kingstreet-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-Casino-Royale-Karlovy-Vary-Oscar-Verpoort-scaled.jpg 1031w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Above: Casino Royale Karlovy Vary, below: Oscar Verpoort at the same venue<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meanwhile, there are generations of moviegoers who have no knowledge of a life without Bond - he was always there. For some, that knowledge has had consequences. The Hague-based producer and director Oscar Verpoort (1986), who devised and produces the successful TV show 'Mindf*ck' with Victor Mids, is one of them. He went further than the average fan in his adoration of Bond; as a teenager, he resolved to follow 007's footsteps. With spectacular results. Even on his first serious Bond trip, the secret agent turns up where no one expects him to.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">'A view to a kill'<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">They are seventeen when Verpoort and his friend Daniel van Biemen (currently first violinist in the Concertgebouw Orchestra and author of the controversial book 'Violist') visit Paris on an Interrail trip to see the Eiffel Tower where Grace Jones aka May Day jumps down in 'A View to a Kill'. On the way back, they stroll along the Seine. \"You have to remember that Pierce Brosnan had made his last film. The new Bond was coming,\" Verpoort says. \"Suddenly Daniel nudges me. 'Look, over there!' And indeed, I see a beautiful woman walking. 'No,' says Daniel, the man next door.' I look over and it turned out to be Daniel Craig. Of course that was insane, running into the man who would take over the baton for 15 years. We were bold enough to speak to him, though.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">'Sorry to interrupt you, but we are really looking forward to the new Bond movie.' <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">'So am I,' he replied and then took a picture of the three of us with my camera. The crowning moment of our first Bond trip.\"<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">'Casino Royale'<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Actually, Oscar Verpoort is far from being just about visiting locations, but more about the phenomenon as a whole and how Ian Fleming's oeuvre has been handled. \"The films based on Fleming's books are more powerful than those that came later. 'Casino Royale', the first film with Daniel Craig, was finally a real Fleming story again. Earlier, it did not succeed because the producers did not have the rights. That was another stunner of a Bond film. Apparently, it is hard to match Fleming after all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What I also find interesting as a filmmaker is that all the Bond films show such a beautiful time frame. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The makers try to be ahead in everything, with the result that you can follow what is going on in every film. In terms of typography, in terms of fashion and style, the title songs alone form a kind of history of pop music through the years. The same goes for the clothes.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aston Martin DB5<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He goes down the list of 25 Bond films in search of the best, the ritual of the true Bond fan. \"I have a soft spot for 'GoldenEye' because I saw it first in the cinema. 'Goldfinger', the third Bond film, was the classic. That's where everything fell into place. At first they were still searching, in 'Dr No' the book was still followed very literally, but in 'Goldfinger' everything fell together. For the first time the Aston Martin DB5 and for the first time John Barry made the entire soundtrack. Then they really realised: this is the formula.\"<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fl-builder-content fl-builder-content-1291 fl-builder-template fl-builder-module-template fl-builder-global-templates-locked\" data-post-id=\"1291\"><div class=\"fl-module fl-module-html fl-node-5e6e52367938f\" data-node=\"5e6e52367938f\">\n\t<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"fl-html\">\n\t<hr style=\"height: 2px; color: #a99179; background-color: #a99179; border: solid #a99179 0px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #94abb5; font-style: italic; font-family: 'Playfair Display';\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whenever Oscar Verpoort visits a location from one of the films, he always sets himself one task: he gets himself photographed in exactly the same setup as James Bond in the film.
