Never Say Never Again
Two Bond films have been made outside the control of Danjaq, the first was the 1967 film "Casino Royale", with David Niven as Bond; the second was the 1983 film "Never Say Never Again", a remake of "Thunderball". "Never Say Never Again" was the result of a legal dispute involving Kevin McClory, one of the credited co-writers of the story used for the novel "Thunderball", who was awarded the film rights to the novel in a 1963 settlement with Ian Fleming.
