The next Bond could be...Idris Elba????
FOX.com Entertainment ^ | 12/20/14 | New York Post

Posted on 12/20/2014 9:49:13 AM PST by hoagy62

British actor Idris Elba could be the first black James Bond, according to more leaked e-mails from Sony Pictures.

“Idris should be the next Bond,” Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal wrote nearly a year ago in an e-mail to Elizabeth Cantillon, a former executive vice president at Columbia Pictures.

The leaked e-mail, reported by the Daily Beast, is from a trove of private e-mails, salary reports and bits of script and rough footage swiped and released by hackers believed to be from North Korea.

Current Bond actor Daniel Craig is signed on to one more “James Bond” installment, “Spectre,” due out on Nov. 5, 2015.

Yeah, no thanks. See, James Bond just isn’t black. So he can’t be the first black James Bond. Since that doesn’t exist.

We don’t need a “shocking” email from a SONY exec to know a Black Bond would result in a 50-70% decline in box office receipts.

But Bond ISN’T black. What’s next, black Indiana Jones? Black Rambo?!

Maybe they could just change the name to James Black.

Just give him a new name. Bubba, Snoop, or Ice would do.

The Bond Lady could be Le-a(pronounced Ledasha). Da dash ain’t silent.

I want to personally thank the Norks for shedding light on this abomination. Kim Jong Un’s father, a big movie officianado, would not stand for this garbage attempt at being PC.

” quite frankly...”No F-ing way.”

If nothing else works, he can always come out as a lesbian.

I don’t know if this actor has enough inner drama or presence to play James Bond, but I guess we’ll find out.
This will free Daniel Craig up to play the role he would be perfect for ‘The Story of Vladimir Putin’. They look like brothers, give or take a blond toupee.

And he’s queer, too.

So, in the movie, will his Black Bond character get all the white girls, or all the boys?

“Just give him a new name. Bubba, Snoop, or Ice would do.”

Hmmm. I guess “Leroi Bond” would be racist, right?

Well, the guy is British.

By the way, he played the drug lord “Stringer” Bell on the HBO series “The Wire”.
