I bet this black bond is confronted by white racism at every turn and bangs abuch of aryan broads in the movie too. More white guilt pc bullshit. Try making shaft or blade white and see blacks and libs go INSANE. Even that egpyt movie is getting shit for not making the egyptions black (protip - they wernt). Fuck everything

I love the guy as an actor, but seriously, casting him as bond is nothing more than political correctness and white guilt. What's next, a black Annie?

No racism at all, but Bond is a white British character, that is the stupidest idea that I have ever seen...
Bond is a cool British guy, set in the present day I don't see any problem with a cool British black guy being Bond. It's not like a black Lone Ranger or Sergeant Rock. Beats the idea Craig was floating of a Gay Bond

I remember reading that and being like, "BULLSHI... That... That actually kinda makes sense. Huh." Bond is a spy, basically a high stakes actor. With the exception of Vesper, he never really gets involved with women, outside of his job. Granted, I think he's a little more enthusiastic about it than a gay guy would be, but I could see the case to be made. |

This has nothing to do with getting the best possible actor (what's wrong with Daniel Craig?) for the role. This is a Hollywood studio wanting to cast a black man, just because. Just imagine the uproar if George Clooney were given the role of Shaft? He's actually a good actor and could pull it off. I kind of see Bond like the guys from Men in Black. You loose your personally identity and take of the one given to you by the agency. I don't the role being race dependent so much. I thought Craig did a good job as Bond but they seem to change Bond up every few years. As for Clooney being Shaft. Well yeah Clooney would look pretty stupid walking around the Bronx being a cop talking jive. It wouldn't be believable. |

That doesn't change my opinion though. Hollywood loves to do this. Kojak, Annie, Jim West, The Equalizer, Daniel San, etc... |

Herein lies the problem with affirmative action in whatever form it happens to take. Dude is a rock solid actor, no question about that. But does the studio want him for his talent or his skin color or do they luck out and get both? I'm a huge Bond fan and I'm fairly indifferent on this one. He'll have a huge burden of measuring up to the others before he even starts the role. Frankly I'd rather see him get a shot at defining a new character.

He's up there with Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, and others who surprised the heck out of me at how good they could do dramatic - non comedy - roles. I doubt I'll see Annie, but your observation does not surprise me. Heck, just watch his eyes in "Collateral" as he is reacting to Tom Cruise. That's a subtle skill not many seem to be able to pull off. Ironically, his real breakthrough tole, in "Ray," didn't allow him to use his eyes that way at all. I wonder if he can do accents? The next cliche step - if he has the chops - is to go that route, or do the mental handicap thing. |

I think it'd be great because it'd add to the fan theory that James Bond/007 is not one man, but a cover for a position within MI6.
Too many people are seeing him as Stringer Bell. I don't think they should drop Daniel Craig for him but if he's out for whatever reason then they should go for it. |
