Ian Fleming's 007 book series made its debut in the early 1950s, capitalizing on a post-war world that was starting to change. It was seeking stories that were a bit more grounded, and Fleming found a winning formula with a gritty, darkly complex series of novels. As it always has been, however, intellectual properties that have even a modicum of success are going to be sought after for adaptations.
