They have already turned “M” into a woman, and Felix Leiter into a Black guy. I strongly suspect Bond would be a Muslim except the name just doesn’t sound Arabic.

Actually I haven’t even bothered to watch the last dozen or so Bond Movies. They basically have turned into cartoons.

They turned into cartoons with the switch from Sean Connery. Even Lazenby's Bond was still okay.

What I'd really like is something along the lines of "The Man Who Would Be Bond" that was set during WWII, and showed the life of Ian Fleming (yes, it was most certainly embellished).

Make the original Bond stories, set in the original period of the books. Complete with nekkid women and all. The movies really were cartoonish compared to the books.

What's interesting to me, is that Daniel Craig is the Bond I see when reading the books when it deals with the cold, calculating, get-the-job done nature of the character. But Connery is the Bond I see when reading pretty much any of the banter with other characters, and the women.

If they could mix Craig's ruthlessness with Connery's charm, it would be perfect.
