Oh wait.
Then again Orson Welles, Alec G, Pete Pos (oh i can't spell it) did play black or brown characters and they caused a stir. I think Jamie and Will should white up for the Bond role if they want to be taken seriously.
wait old quoting is dead?
anyway i agree about leiter part but assian moneypenny sounds interesting :)
if we have black bond would suck a lot
honestly i heard that angelina jolie was asked to be bond girl and she refused saying that if she is part of 007 movie she will be in it only as a bond
so how would you feel if female james bond was cast?
Every Bond cast in the films have been reinvented but to reinvent him as black, brown, yellow,green or purple would not sit well with the hard core fans out there as well as the majority of people behind the production.
If a black actor was hired to appease the pc masses, then this would not be a good idea.
A good actor is a good actor, but they do have to be a convincing representation of the original concept in my opinion.
Maybe, if the cinematic Bond lasts long enough, this may prove to be a generational thing. The next generation may have no problem with an actor who's black being cast as 007. Who knows? But right now, the fanbase and the general audience, I suspect, wouldn't accept it (just as all of us seem not to), so Eon are well aware it's a no-no, meaning it's highly unlikely to happen with the casting of Bond #7...
So not only the hardcore Bond fans and casual fans would not welcome such take on Bond, but EON would see their rights on Bond removed by the Fleming estate, which will find another company that will treat the James Bond name better.
Will Smith already have made Spy movie in 1998. There can have made sequels.
Denzil Washington get his agent movie with Man On Fire, but because there haven't tryde it yet, dificult to say or he be a good spy agent.
Eddie Murphy in I Spy. Again i haven't mind to see a sequel.
I see Colin Salmon or Nicolas Cage replacing Ethun Hunt or get there own spy franchise.
Jamie Fox i see more as Bourne releated chacter. This because there haven't tryde it yet too with him.
Of course there are stil things what can be a problem with casting a black actor. A chacter like 006 for example.
If a black actor playing Bond you expect atleast 2 people around him who be black too to make it intresting/work. But Bond Started as a white chacter. Nothing stop them to make a new spy franchise with a black actor.

Actually stick a PPK in his hand and I reckon he might just pull it off. Certainly no worse than Rog in AVTAK.
If we're going black though what about the bloke who plays Johnson in Peep Show. Certainly got the charisma and is British and looks like he might be able to handle himself in a ruck.
