Aw ffs. Another 20 pager. Can I sum it up?

Some people will moan about political correctness

Some people will say “Why not a disabled Muslim woman Bond?”

Some people will say his skin colour doesn’t matter.

Someone will make reference to Ian Fleming.

Someone will ask how a man without Scottish and Swiss parents who went to Eton could be black.

Someone will say that Bond is timeless and must adapt, white blokes might have been inconspicuous in Russia but not the Middle East

Someone will be called a racist. Someone will be called a millennial fanny.

Two bans.
Well - that's another thread over, next.:lol:
 
Depends what the producers are after. Older Bond could work, but physical work has to be realistic in that case. Remember Moore bursting out of his shirt despatching villains and stunts with aplomb. If they want young Bond you're looking at early 30's imho to fit in the naval career and working his way up at MI6.

For me the sensible option is to reveal Bond as a codename rather than an individual, each suited to his era. Then you could have Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig and whoever is next in the best Bond movie ever.

Personally I'd go for Shazad Latif.
 
Well, if we’ve got to be true to the original character from the books, Bond is also ninety-eight years old. If only Wilfred Bramble were still alive he’d be the perfect Bond.
