Or it could be Bond against Brother Mouzon and Omar. Maybe Bond wins this time.
I wonder if they lowered the swim test so Idris Elba could pass it.
I can’t go along with changing Bond. Ian Flemming would be against it. Your changing the fundamentals of the character and trying to put a Social Commentary on a iconic movie character.
I am 63 and my brother and I saw Sean Connery when Dr. No first came out in 1963 and I have been a faithful fan long these many years through all the various changes of the leads.
While I liked Roger Moore, I didn’t always like how cartoonish the series became under him. I have to say Daniel Craig met all expectations and more playing Bond and was more to the outlines of Flemming’s character in the books.
Now if producers and writers want to create a new spy character and use Elba then I think that is fine. Just leave well enough alone.
If they make the change I probably will not be that interested in seeing the film. I will be interested in seeing the Box Office and if the that kind of change will work.
Just don’t make that kind of change if it’s based on Liberal PC crap.
Niven played Bond in a Casino Royale spoof film. There were rights issues because a guy named Charles Feldman had the rights to make that film because of a deal Flemming made years earlier and CBS made an American version with actor Barry Nelson playing Jimmy Bond and Peter Lorre playing Le Chiffe. You can find it on YouTube.
