I think the problem is that no-one seems to be going to the bother of actually clicking! :D
I've watched a couple Youtube videos of movie fans ranting about this "news" and openly admitting they won't even read the article nor see the movie when it comes out.
I trully believe that even 10 years ago no one would have cared. It would have been business as usual. But now everything is so politicized and people are so paranoid and want rage on the internet about everything. It's pathetic.
And of course the 'press' (whatever you wanna call them) is aware of that and is just feeding that need.
The big issue, which is discussed in the thread about common misconceptions about Bond movies: casual viewers have a vague idea at best about Bond and mix every movie and characters. So Goldfinger is Bond's nemesis stroking a cat, M gives Bond his gadgets, Moneypenny is a codename and she dies in CR, etc.
Oh and James Bond lives at 221B Baker Street and steals from the rich to give to the poor.
Well, Bond doesn't need those kind of "fans".
Exactly. One video started with the guy saying something like " First off, I'm not really into Bond. Not my thing, but here's my opinion............."
I shut it off right then.
What an arrogant pratt.
Has nothing to do with Bond anymore, and all with crappy internet activists and conspiracy nuts.
This might be going on for a couple of days or weeks and could get worse with some real weirdos and conspiracy nuts coming out of the woodwork. Or "content creators" as they are called nowadays.
Kinda hard to watch to be honest, watching my favorite franchise being dragged through the gutter of public opinion for no reason at all. I'll just ignore it as good as i can.
I don't want EoN to bother with this crap either, they should focus on making a film. The tabloids should always be beneath them. They will share something when they are ready.
These people are wilfully ignorant morons, and sadly you've contributed to their ad earnings! :D
I can't believe it has to come down to that.
I think EON need to put out a statement as soon as possible.
God no. The tabloids will do whatever the tabloids will do.
EoN should wait till all this crap dies down (give it a week) and then they can drop a teaser or poster, just usual marketing. No reactionairy stuff.
Imagine EoN reacting in any way shape or form to these news now, and tomorrow the tabloids will write, "EoN is changing Lashanas role due to public backlash."
I agree or someone can message or post on Cary's account. Someone here said that he respond to his fans in social media. He might be able to post something clever.
To this day I have never once seen people react so strongly to something Bond related. It looks to me as if people are more butthurt over this than a a blonde Bond.
I think they will use the teaser trailer to shut the mouths of those morons, alongside with the misdirection media are fueling.
BTW, nowadays everything is going crazy. 2 years ago poor Kelly Marie Tran was consistently insulted by racist and sexist comments just because of the poor role Johnson wrote for her. And we are talking about a character no one cares about. Imagine the pressure of Lynch who's portraying an agent with the codename 007 in a Bond film...
Ecxactly. Keep in mind these Rumors are FALSE. This is not a ghostbusters scenario where the main cast was really replaced by women.
The trailer will probably clarify this.
All these boycotts are meaningless right now because these people don't even know what the hell is going on.
Boycotting a film that isn't even shot yet lol... wtf.
It's rather embarrassing (spoken in my best Connery voice).
It's a shame to have to go through this in the first place but if it's gonna happen I'd rather now than later.
It's not all ignorance its falsifying things that aren't true she is isn't becoming Bond and not leading the franchise forward it's a false firestorm.
The only thing for EON to do is take it in stride and play with the whole concept in the marketing - have that scene where Lynch is 'revealed' as 007 in the teaser (I'm sure it'd be a great moment for that), have Craig and Lynch side by side on the teaser poster. That's how they make it clear that she isn't replacing Craig as Bond - which is an issue on both sides of the debate thanks to the clickbait omitting this important context.
That would kind of be pushing it but I see what your saying. I think they shouldn't do that to prove nothing is changing.
The press started it they are the true Bond villains.
People made a false assumption and made it apart of a political debate when it has nothing to do it it part of the story how things left of from Spectre it's all a coincidence.
I'm sorry, but I'm very sad.
Not as sad as Eon will be to lose you, I'm sure.
