    Phoebe Waller-Bridge: James Bond Is “Absolutely Relevant Now” But The Film “Has To Treat Women Properly”

    Excellent new interview with PWB.

    Her comments are great. Firstly, the key point is that Bond is a character from the 1950s and some of his opinions are dated. It doesn't mean he wakes up in 2019 and is suddenly "woke". You need characters to challenge him and provoke his worldview.

    It's what the reinvention of the M character did in GE and what Vesper did in CR. He's a morally dubious character, but that doesn't meant the film around him has to be morally dubious.

    She seems to be the one Eon think can really spice up the script. Interesting to note that she is writing for Craig as well and not just the female characters.....

    This is the most promising part of her interview!

    "she said. “So, I was really excited about writing dialogue for him. I mean, the script was there. It’s already there. I think it’s unfair to say that I’m writing the script.”

    Quite a bunch of calculated bs she offers there.

    Moffat is a good plotsmith. But he can't do character or sexuality so no to him doing bond

    I think for Bond 26 and a new Bond actor? We need fresh new writers to move it on to the next set of 007 adventures?!!!

    If PWB contribution is a very noticeable one? I would have no objection if she fancied writing the next one?

    "(...°he can't do character or sexuality" really ? well i guess you didn't see his phenomenal take on irene adler in "sherlock", he would write a formidable bond movie for sure...

    Yes, I quite agree with you. Even Lara Pulver would be perfect as a femme fatale in a Bond film. Although this is the wrong thread for this. Shall we move this to Bond 26 and beyond? Is there such a thread?

    The more she talks about it, the more I want her contribution to be a very noticeable one.

    Can anyone enlighten me why PeterWilliamBlatty all of a sudden seems to be the flavor of the month? The first Thing she Always reminds me of is Seth MacFarlane.

    could be cool if there was a reference to DC ankle injury in the movie like in "spider-man 2" with the "i'm back! my back!" scene which is a wink to Tobey Maguire who suffered of a back injury before the shooting...

    Well, it finally happened. The PC, SJW crowd has its femi-nazi talons in our beloved franchise and it's all over. It's too bad. They ruined Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, and almost got the MCU taken down, and now it's Bond's turn. You can't be a straight white male, can't be masculine, can't be or do anything in opposition to their liberal agenda. Oh well. I can still enjoy the first 24 films in this series for as long as I wish.

    I know how you feel but I would suggest to wait for the film to release and then make any opinion about how you feel.
