Wow. According to the slideshow, the producers "covered 100 percent of [the Tomorrow Never Dies] production budget with brand tie-ins by eight major partners." If that's true for the other films, it's no wonder the filmmakers let product placement deals dictate what Bond uses, rather than any sense of heritage descended from the novels.
