Nevertheless, you can say something about that.
I think, that.........IF the producers keep everything going.........James Bond 007 can last a very long time. Perhaps James Bond can celebrate the 100 years existance? But why? It's very simple. James Bond is an arche-type...........a certain type which can last a very long time. Even the word 'arche-type'comes from greek mythology, and you know how long the stories of all these greek gods and goddesses are lasting? In fact...........I think James Bond is the new arche-type of the new era (ahum), in fact of the 20th and 21st century.
One more thing............James Bond is also capable of adapting. He can adapt in times of economical crisis (TMWTGG and LALD). He CAN survive (GoldenEye), he can reflect actual news (TND)
