'Spider-Man,' 'Harry Potter' producers hired for new 007 film

Methinks it's going to be bland with way too much introspective chit-chatting .

Oh no.

Black or Indian James Bond...

Black or Indian James Bond

I agree. No problem with that.

I worry more about the plot and Villain of the film. Bezos likes to decide directly what kind of content is included on things he controls, and since the usual Bond villains are too close to people like him or Musk, it may mean they could make it some kind of cartoonish exaggerated madman. Then again this would risk becoming too similar to Trump so that option is also closed.

Black or Indian antagonist is much more likely.

I don't think it's a coincidence that a billionaire who looks like Lex Luthor has a streaming platform that had two shows where the villain is a thinly-veiled Superman.

More of the same garbage??..

James Bond is way past its sell by date, Daniel Craig did us a favor by showing us that.

Good idea to hire people with a strong track record, let's hope 007 franchise can be revitalized!

Hopefully much of their compensation is $box office performance in nature, as the old Silcon Valley stock option playbook works 'results' magic!

A black or Indian 007? No way Pedro! That would be an insult to Ian Fleming and his vision of the character.

Ian Fleming envisaged him as being born in 1920, but no one expects us to find an 125 year-old to play the character.

Fleming simply took what was around him at the time he worked in intelligence during the War - white, men, educated at expensive schools.

The make-up of Britain has changed since the 1940s and 1950s, and it is reasonable that a British agent might be black or asian today.

As long as it stay out of wokeness and retarded political correctness garbage, all should be good.

The final Craig outing earned $775m according to the article - it is clearly a massive draw.

But Disney showed how it can destroy a franchise like Star Wars.

Keep producing a moving as they did in the past - approximately 1 every two to three years.

Ah-so

Might be reasonable for a secret agent to be black or Asian but then it wouldn’t be James Bond anymore.

Why not? Does he have to be really white? How about a Spaniard, or a Norwegian, or a Persian? What is Steve's 'vision of the character.'?

Clippety

Nothing to do with lightness of his skin but he’s a white character.

Indian or black is neither, nor are most Persians.

If you read the books and read what Fleming says about the character you’d understand.

I've read them all.

Nothing in them tells me that Bond has to be white.

I'd like the next Bond not to be white just to infuriate racists. Bond would like that too.

To be honest I really can't imagine an Indian Bond bedding a Bond girl, leave aside a new Bond girl in every movie.

Indian Bond girl is far more feasible, in fact we have already had one in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.

Do the Brits really have the financial capacity to fund supercars, expensive champagne and world spanning trips for their secret agents anymore?

But Disney showed how it can destroy a franchise like Star Wars.

How so? many things from Star Wars are massively popular and loved by the critics like Andor or Skeleton Crew? that is not really something that has been "destroyed".

Really, Is this how you spend your time? (Chuckle).

It has been a great run of films for Bond but I would say now with the franchise changing hands it is over. We still have a great library of films. The stuff that comes now will be caca.

Perhaps some time in the future Bond will be resurrected.

I’d like it too. Doesn’t take up much time.

I could imagine the hysterics on social media on this one. There would probably be teenagers spamming the living daylights out of it with multiple handles.

2/1 that they have, or even “6/3”.

Yeah, you guys keep on about “hysterics” and “infuriated”. Sorry to have to break it to you, but nobody is “infuriated” or “hysterical” over this except in your fevered fantasies.

Just bring back the db5.
