But Bond ISN’T black. What’s next, black Indiana Jones? Black Rambo?!
Why not? It worked for Kojak
You'll recall that was a huge success.
welcome to phase 2 of moviemakers doing black exploitation/pandering. of course they’re smarter now and say this is artistic and not at all like the black exploitation films of the 60s and 70s, many produced by blacks themselves.
can’t wait to see how Blindiana Jones and Blambo are received.
Bond is a fictional character. That’s like saying that Sean Connery can’t play Bond because he’s Scottish, and in the Ian Fleming novels Bond was clearly British.
The only question is whether Idris Elba has the screen presence to play Bond. My belief is, yes.
