Why don't they adapt continuation Bond novels into new films ?


There's many OFFICIAL continuation novels, following James Bond in new adventures, and none of them has been used in the films.

Why ? Don't you think it would be great to see these new adventures ? And I might add that it would allow EON production to use beautiful titles such as "Devil may care", "Death is forever", "The man from Barbarossa" or "Zero minus ten".

My admittedly-vague impression is that EON would have to buy the rights to use the titles of the continuation novels, and evidently believes that it is able to come up with just-as-good titles on its own.
