The irony of the James Bond movie itself was, that long before Sean Connery had said: "I will never do a Bond movie again." And then he did "Never Say Never Again", which actually is a "modernized version" of Fireball, in which Sean Connery also was Bond ... Not so difficult ... :)) Also applicable (to IDS, not Bond) is a German saying: "Totgesagte leben laenger." which translates to "Those who are said to be dead live longer." ;-) [ Although, regarding this theme and Bond you may remember (or watch) "You Only Live Twice" which is about Bond being shot dead right at the beginning of the movie ... ] All pretty old movie stuff by todays standards, but still fun. And (as far as I know) Bond movies are the biggest (financially) and longest (timewise) movie series in history (started in 1960 or 1962 with "Dr. No" - and that's now over 40 years).
