being a hot black lady in the next movie!
It's a hotbed of anger and craziness on that board
I have always loved Bond as a suave English dude but if they want to switch it up and use the character ('Bond, Jane Bond') as a new character I don't really get the angst...
Pam Grier could have been perfect but she's very American and 70 years old now
Rami Malek and Christoph Waltz are going to co-star...
Sounds like a hit to me
She has a very thin resume. I feel bad for her already.
shareSure are:
Brilliant news for me, finally something trending on here that I actually have a opinion on and enjoy reading what people have to say being a big James Bond fan and all that.
No, I think it's stupid. 007 is James Bond and James Bond is a goodlooking, suave, British gentleman womanizer. Daniel Craig was already miscast.
Create a new franchise about a black female spy called 006, no problem.
This is a ploy, a gimmick to get people talking about the movie and going to see the movie. It is an ill-advised move for the franchise. Lynch could have been given another 00 agent number, but no, they had to go and pull this titanic blunder. James bond is synonymous with 007, 007 with James Bond. Ian Flemmings James Bond 007. To have someone else, black, white, man, women, play James Bond is travesty.
Now, yes, 00 agents are replaced when they did. We see that in Casino Royale when James Bond is granted 00 status and winds up with 007. There are 00 agents 002-009, and throughout the Bond movies the names change. For example, 002 has different names in Thunderball and The Livingday lights.
People will make the argument that once James Bond quits/retires he loses his 007 codename. This is wrong. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, bond quits, comes back as 007. License to Kill, Bond quits, even attacks M16 personnel, still gets called 007 by Q throughout the movie. Die Another Day, Bond is is captured, MIA, could even be KIA, comes back as 007 later in the movie. Skyfall, Bond dissapears into retirement, comes back as 007 with the line "007 reporting for duty".
The real reason a black woman takes Bond's codename is to appease a loud minority of people, fake social justice warriors, "woke people", triggered political correctness morons, people who think there is a gender for every day of the year, people who sexualize children and want to normalize pedophilia.
I can't wait until the Craig era is over, because its crashing down in flames. I pray we return to a classic Bond formual with a new Bond and these Craig reboots are forgotten in the future.
As a big Bond fan I agree...the series could use a shake up
shareI remember the good old days when Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, and Adam West all declined the role because they felt Bond must be British.
shareExactly, Stratego. Just create a new franchise or spin-off of 006. Why bother coming up with characteristics for a character if somebody in the future is going to take it and changed the original creation?
shareWhilst I’m not going to be organising any angry mobs armed with flaming torches & pitchforks any time soon, I do wish that instead of changing established characters in a forced way, that maybe some new, fresh characters could be created instead?
shareSome people are really overreacting. James Bond is still James Bond, a white man played by Daniel Craig, in the movie. This new character is just given the designation of 007 while Bond is retired. I'm sure Bond will come out of retirement and go back to being 007 by the end of the movie.
shareI'm assuming this is the case but I'd not really mind a big change in the character...it could be interesting!
shareShogun... we already know you don’t have to be a British gentleman to carry on the Bond legacy under a different designator than 007. The short gentleman who was also quite a womanizer from the Philippines was perfect!
Are we good to go?
Hell yeah. It’s Agent Double “O!”
🤣
