I'm for change but not this.
SF and SP are the biggest hits of the franchise since the Sixties. What a fail for EoN.
The decks will be cleared for B26 only if 25 bombs. As long as this more authorial, deconstructive and personal approach will pay, you better find another franchise to follow.
And the thing is, those arguing against the new 007 seem to be saying; A/ Only a man called James Bond can be 007. B/ The casting of a black woman is just a PC move.
Those arguments seem pretty flimsy when we already know, with Bond 25, they are making huge efforts to create rounded and intriguing female characters, hence the hiring of a very talented and sharp minded female writer to focus on the characters.
Yep, im with you.
Did you not see him wearing suits, driving Aston Martins and living in Jamaica carrying a speargun? :)
Seems pretty bang-on 'Bond' to me!
Correct.
Thank you, @ColonelSun . I'm with you on this. And I'm trying just to skim here for news, without getting bogged down into the explosions of angst and bickering.
They're making an action movie where James Bond is the hero of the story, a movie with uber Bondian locations, hot girls, fast cars, a world threatening villainous scheme and historical Bond characters coming back. What they are doing here is just putting Bond in a position he never had the chance to deal with in 50+ years, as a logic consequence of what Bond himself chose to do in the latest installment.
This is not rocket science either.
Have been seeing quite a bit of 'now I'm interested in this film' from people on social media.
Waiting for someone's comment like "evolving doesn't mean destroying" in 3,2,1...
BTW, I don't think the franchise needs a fanbase that wants Goldeneye all over again.
Same here

Take a closer look at the all the social media majority of them are already boycotting or disgusted by this idea
How Many of them do you think are older or younger fans.
If this rumour is true or not this news did gave the attention EON or Universal looking for. Films Marketing just got boosted on a whole different level although it's really hard to predict box office at this point.
Tempus fugit.
EDIT: I wouldn't call this a rumor anymore. We knew since a lot that Lynch was going to play an MI6 agent and many months ago Sassilive reported that Bond had a scene in a church with his replacement at MI6.
"This will be a very modern Bond for the MeToo era."
Hasn't Bond treated women properly the last decade or so? So what's new? I don't get it.
Are they going to strip Bond of all his masculinity or something?
Hope so ;)
What about a teaser poster? When do you think we'll have one of those? A brilliant one, I hope, unlike the last three.
True I just think the backlash out ways the positives.
Very funny
Funny? It's true! Did you not see any of those things and think it seemed like Bond?
Does the knowledge he's got a little secret identity card in his wallet that says '007' on it make those scenes better somehow? He doesn't become someone else just because he's not wearing secret 007 identity ring or whatever :D
He gave up being 007 four years ago; did you think people would go around calling him 007 once he's retired? :D
Look at the Red Bull F1 cars this weekend: they had the 007 logo all over them. The '007 iconography' isn't going anywhere. I'm not sure what you guys are worried about.
Does he get it back? How are people supposed to identify James Bond from the public?
Well he's a secret agent: you're not supposed to identify him!
And I'm willing to bet that yes, of course he gets it back. Because ultimately he's James Bond 007, yes. But it's like the examples of Batman or whatever that other folk gave- Alfred occasionally dresses in the outfit and is Batman briefly, but it's always Bruce Wayne in the end. And even when it's not (as in Dark Knight Rises), guess what- the series gets rebooted and Bruce is Batman again.
How does he get the 007 number back? Well either she dies, gives it up, or she's a baddie and dies! There's just nothing to worry about here.
I don't understand how anyone could be watching a brilliant action scene, or tense showdown with a villain or whatever and be unable to enjoy it because of the worry in the back of their head that he's not 007 at that moment.
I mean look at this:
Did you hate these scenes? Because you realise you're not looking at 007 there..?
He's just plain old James Bond. Double-O zero.
A baddie would be a good twist.
"007 is set to get dragged into the 21st Century with a feminist makeover"

As we all know, Bond is a sexist dinosaur who doesn't treat women properly....or something. So there we have it: B25 - the feminism entry.
