I'm starting to worry about Die Another Day. Will there be elements from all James Bond Movies and all James Bond Books?

Look at Star Trek and you realize their jobs are not as easy as you might think.

Just look at YOLT and TSWLM - TSWLM is practically a remake. Ditto Goldfinger and AVTAK - AVTAK is very, very similar - destruction of large stock of world commodity to bolster the value of the villain's own supply. Not repeating ideas is very, very tough.

My first thought on seeing the DAD poster was, "it's a lost Icebreaker cover!".

DAD sounds like it's more Moonraker than Icebreaker, anyway.
