Since they just did Bond's younger years with Daniel Craig, they should bring Sean Connery back and do Bond as a pensioner. He would be significantly outnumbered by women in the old folks home, so he would get massive amounts of tail, and he could bust up the UK's version of medicaid fraud rings. bumdumdumdumduhdundunbumdumdumdumduhdundun

Quote HistoryQuoted:
While I don't have an issue with a black Bond in theory, I am concerned that Hollywood would fuck it up. Hollywood is overly PC with black actors in my opinion, and in order to avoid offending anyone tends to make black "hero" type characters flawless. This, of course, makes them boring. No one wants to see Mr. Perfect handle the situation perfectly. It is a character's flaws which give him something to overcome, and thereby create plot and drama. We sympathize with the flawed character because we are flawed and we want to see the character overcome those flaws and succeed. One of the best parts about the new Craig Bond is that he is a flawed character, and his flaws create obstacles for him to overcome, and a plot for us in the audience. I worry that if Hollywood goes for a black Bond they'll go full retard PC and make Bond a one-dimensional snoozefest. The bond movies arent made in "Hollywood" the main filming is done at Pinewood Studios in England.

Idris Elba has really good screen presence, think he would be a great Bond.
Didn't know Colin Salmon was considered, he'd be another great choice.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wait,,you mean Citizen DOESNT make a Watch with a miniature rocket-launcher on the band??? WTF  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: There is a level of differentiation that can still allow suspension of disbelief. On the list of things you have to suspend disbelief for in the James Bond series - physically impossible gadgetry, nonexistent international relations, phenomenally loose women, etc., the race of the actor portraying Bond is incredibly low on the list. Shit, the most realistic scene in the last 30 years of bond films was M's appearance before a bunch of stupid, self-important bureaucrats in Skyfall, and that was immediately counterbalanced by the ease with which Javier Bardem's character and his henchmen waltzed into the place guns-blazing. Wait,,you mean Citizen DOESNT make a Watch with a miniature rocket-launcher on the band??? WTF Imagine my disappointment when my Omega Seamaster didn't have a laser built in.

Well he's a black British actor. What's the difference? Because the author didn't write the character as a Black, an Asian, or an Indian in 1953? I'm going to take a wild guess that there weren't any black secret agents in mi6 in the 1950s either. Maybe in Jamaica or the Bahamas, but a merry old England , highly unlikely. |

Same way there will be no white blade, or spawn or shaft. it's not a racist things, it's just who the character is, if there gonna make him black might as well make him Asian, or Spanish or middle Easter, the race does not fit the character.. Not only just the race, but I think it will change the whole dynamics of the character. Plus hows black bond gonna drive anywhere, he'll get pulled over in his Aston Martin for driving while black!

I wish they'd make a movie where Felix is the main character and Bond is a side character. Like how Bond is the main character, and Felix helps out sometimes.
I think it'd be super cool. Or maybe another American CIA agent played by Idris Elba, or Chiwetel Ejiofor. Not because they're black, but because they're very good actors. Though I think Idris Elba is more suited to play the role of an intelligence operative. Michael Fassbender would also be a great choice. |

That's more important than era, race, or story. Quoted:

Or would that just be too far fetched... In Skyfall they revealed that Bond was his real name. So it's not a cover identity. But what about the Goldfinger car? Who used that but an earlier James Bond? Man, this is getting more and more confusing! Like I said. Seems to me like it's a personal vehicle that Bond had all modded up, or maybe that dude's car from Casino Royale that Bond stole. It comes off more as a homage from the director/writers to the old Bond films more than a hint plot wise at the old movies. |

Hey, what about both Craig and Elba doing a handoff of the 007 designation? They could reveal the whole Bond identity is a cover, like "M" being the same from person to person.

And maybe even before For Your Eyes Only; I've never seen a lot of the very early Bond films. |

Oh, I knew about those (I'm a huge Bond nerd.) but I'm referring to Skyfall specifically, because it's a reboot, and until stated otherwise, assumes the other films did not happen. |

Holy shit, a challenger rises! The Operative would be awesome...he has class, bearing, but can have a menacing presence and he's not an overpowering 6'+ beast! Quote HistoryQuoted:

Fantastic actor. Wouldn't mind Chiwetel Ejiofor as well. Daniel Craig is fine as Bond. I won't blame bad writing on him. Holy shit, a challenger rises! The Operative would be awesome...he has class, bearing, but can have a menacing presence and he's not an overpowering 6'+ beast! Ya, I know there was a lot of talk after Serenity about Chiwetel being the next Bond; he'd be perfect. I didn't know who Idris was before The Wire, and had no idea he was a Brit until well after. So the dude can act.
I'd hate to see Idris or Chiwetel get the nod, only to be paired with a shit script. |

Mehh, when Sean Connery retired as Bond, Bond retired with him.
All subsequent "Bondlike Characters" sucked in varying levels but sucked none the less. Black Bond? LOL, sure man whatever you think. Some characters are white anglo-saxon protestants, they just are. Maybe remake Shaft or Super Fly, or Action Jackson .
