Daniel Craig hopes his Bond 'is not as sexist'
CNN ^

Posted on 09/01/2015 9:35:10 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

CNN)Have we seen the end of James Bond, the ladies' man?

Probably not, but the actor who currently portrays him would like to think his version is more of a modern man.

Daniel Craig recently told Esquire UK that he has some very specific thoughts about the character he will next portray in the upcoming "Spectre."

"Hopefully, my Bond is not as sexist and misogynistic" as earlier incarnations, he said. "The world has changed. I am certainly not that person. But he is, and so what does that mean? It means you cast great actresses and make the parts as good as you can for the women in the movies."

Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in November's "Spectre."

It's been a decade

Maybe they could get Jenner to star. “Bond. Jane Bond.”

"The world has changed. I am certainly not that person.

So you won't mind if your leading lady/person will be played by Kaitlyn Jenner?

Craig's Bond has given up vodka martinis for beer.

Probably light beer at that.

I like the way they jump started with Craig being a new agent in the first film. He played it well. I like his acting in other Brit films. Just wish he’d STFU off screen.

PS: I like Elbe and all since The Wire. Might be interesting. I always thought Clive Owen would do a good job.

Ruthless, no humor. Connery defined the role and we can’t get past that. If you saw him, you never move on.

I remember when the last bond said in golden eye that cigarettes were a filthy habit that was it for me.
bond was a chain smoker. Read the books Hollywood. Stop promoting agenda.

Well, here are my two comments:

1)SPECTRE is the Special Executive Council for Terror, Revenge, and Extortion (in case anyone is interested), and

2)Go see 'Kingsman'. Different style than Bond, better in some ways. More fun.

If they remade "From Russia With Love", it would cause the NOW gang to spontaneously combust.

I liked Casino Royale and I like Craig’s portrayal of Bond in it. I like that Bond was masculine again. But, I mostly liked that I was introduced to Mads Mikkelsen, who played Le Chiffre, and have since watched some pretty good films with him in them since then (not including the recent Clash of the Titans).

I wonder if people will start to ask who was the best Batman like they ask,”Who was the best James Bond?”

Clearly the answer would be Val Kilmer. (just kidding)

Funny you should mention "the best Batman" --!! When I saw Michael Keaton, of all people (!!!) hit it out of the park with an intense Batman, and then Jack Nicholson as Joker, I thought it couldn't get any better.

Fast forward to the first two Batman flicks with Christian Bale ... he was even better than Keaton! And Heath Ledger as the Joker ... fabulouser and fabulouser!!! But only the first two with Bale ... the ones that followed were so heavy and predictable. Such is life and art. As Lauren Bacall lamented in To Have and Have Not, "Well, it was nice while it lasted."
