OK, looked up Ildris Elba, I did like him a lot in Pacific Rim and Prometheus (even though it was a small part...)
He's a fine actor, and I'd love to see him do more, but he isn't Bond... I think Daniel Craig does a good job as Bond, he is pretty close in character to Flemings Bond, who was a bit dark and brooding. Connery was excellent of course, Some people say Lazenby was closer than Connery, but I think Connery was better. Moore was enjoyable and fun, but not close to the literary Bond. Timothy Dalton went back to a darker, more brooding Bond, and wasn't bad, but not so popular... Pierce Brosnan was sort of a cross between Connery's Bond, and Moore's Bond...debonair, dry sense of humor, a a bit dark.... I kind of like what Craig has done with it honestly...I think he has a few more in him, but if he wants out, he wants out I guess... |

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.

It's definitely one of those unnecessary attempts to be inclusive by Hollywood though. If you treat Bond as an identity to take on, and not a a singular person, then yes you could have virtually anyone play him but that's not how it's been handled to date. I'm all for more of us being included in movies, but it shouldn't be forced. It has to be natural. Producers don't want natural though. The American public doesn't want natural. |

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. Skyfall goes out of its way to make the point that Bond is Bond, not a code name and tthe same guy all along. Remember the scene where he goes to the secret lockup to retrieve the original DB5 ? |

I always thought Connery and Craig were a little too large to play Bond who, after all, is supposed to be a spy and supposed to blend in. Both those guys stood out too much, as would Elba (he's over six feet, isn't he?). That's why I always liked Brosnan. He was small-ish but with charisma and he had an air of cruelty about him (remember him in "Fourth Protocol"?).
I wonder why they killed "M" in Skyfall? |

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.

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

Quote HistoryQuoted: Since Bond's character is Scottish, I'll just leave this here: White: Total 5,084,407 96.02% African: Total 29,638 0.56% Demographics of Scotland - Ethnicity PC idea for a black Bond. More Hollyweird stupidity.

About the second Luther, I said: Damn, he'd make a great James Bond. If we can have Orange and Green Irish, whey can't we have white as well as black Scots?  Bin Dun Befoah

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I wonder if Benedict Cumberbatch could pull it off. He may be too metro to pull off the badass side. The whole point of Craig was to go back to the reough, almost thuggish side of Bond that was lost once they went to Moore, some of the later ones were better, but still just a touch too comic book |
