For no objective reason what so ever, the idea of this makes me face plant. Make a super cool spy character, with no relation to the 007 franchise and I'm all good for it. But simply making some artificial reconfiguration of a pre-existing movie-verse just reeks of Generation X and Y's inability to invent an idea from scratch, instead of bathing in the richness of an older and more creative generation of folks.

We got James Pond in the late eighties, that's enough.
