Why not?
Oh, because the film is "woke" and how dare they and it's to appease the SJW crowd. Ridiculous.
He was in it to escape the trappings of marriage, to outdo his brother, to prove he was not the family's black sheep, to use his natural wits and curiosity about people and the world's dynamics. And... well, maybe for the money.
With the film rumoured to be around 3 hours long, I wonder if we'll get a long pre title sequence?
The cut needs to be locked at some point to allow VFX and score work to be finalised easier.
@MonsieurMerci yeah that would be good if there is anymore info.
Man she is so cute she is one of the things going good for this film.
Everyone already has her as 007 in their mind but if I'm wrong that would be great. Time will tell today if we see something during the super bowl I will be looking out for it.
@TripAces nobody owns 007 and same with the logo it means nothing it's a anybody's franchise.
.....what?
Yep you heard me
Aren't the two already synonymous in the popular consciousness anyhow? I would certainly like to think so by this stage in the proceedings.
If the rumors are true about Nomi being the new 007, it certainly will put a dent in the two being synonymous. Obviously most people instantly relate Bond with 007 and vice versa, but I'm just going along with the idea that the rumor is true and there'll be a new 007.
She’ll be in a Bond film though and nowhere else, so they are still synonymous.
I think 007 and Bond will probably stay connected after the film, but to casual audiences there is bound to be some confusion with Nomi being 007 it the rumor is true. We don’t even know for 100% certain if it will happen, or if it does if Bond gets the number back or what will happen with that throughout the film.
Yep I'm looking out for it.
@TripAces Wait till they mess it up when they reveal its nomi they have big mess to clean up. Woke power.
Yep the 007 logo now means nomi and anyone who wants it it's not Bond's and I know I triple posted.
I certainly wouldn't be losing too much sleep over it, just yet. ;)
If anyone can have it, then I'll take it. Sounds like fun.
Do you have some sort of legal obligation to use the phrase ‘woke’ in 70% of your posts?
IF (and that is IF) Nomi is 007 in this film, it changes absolutely nothing going forward. It is meant as a wink and a nudge. To have some humour from Bond seeing another person in his position. And in the end, it means nothing for the series. The next person to play Bond will be a man. Barbara said that numerous times, there is absolutely no reason to doubt her words or to not take them seriously.
And yes, @TripAces, in the marketing 007 is synonymous with Bond. And this means that a lot of people associate that number with the person James Bond. But for the sake of storytelling, they are not one and the same. The first one is a code name, that (like M or Q) can be held by multiple people. The second one is a name of a (fictional) person. And that person can have the code name 007, which he has had in all films, but not at all times.
But marketing and changing something for the sake of the story is different. The public also associates James Bond with the phrase 'Shaken not stirred' or with wearing a tuxedo. Those are also essential elements when it comes to the branding of Bond, and have been used in the same ways as the 007 number in marketing campaigns.
However, James Bond has had film adventures in which he did not wear a tuxedo. Daniel Craig's Bond didn't give a damn if he got his martini shaken or stirred. So the image created by the marketing, and the image of Bond that the public is familiar with (He's a secret agent with a licence to kill, code number 007, wears tuxedos and orders his martini shaken not stirred) can be subverted or averted if the story or a joke calls for it. Bond doesn't wear a tuxedo in all his films. He does not say 'Bond, James Bond' in every film. He does not hold his licence to kill in every film at all times. He sometimes doesn't care about how his martini is served. And yes, he is not always 007.
So why the fuss if Bond doesn't have his code number at the start of the film? Why the fuss if someone else has taken that number? Why? It has no impact on the series moving forward. Zero. The next Bond will be male, and will be 007. Maybe not for the entire movie, if they go with an origin story.
But by giving the 007 number to someone else (whether it's Nomi or generic British white male #5), they'll have a laugh and a giggle in this film. And some snappy dialogue.
NTTD is probably 3 hours long. We have no idea what happens. Maybe Bond gets the number back. Maybe Nomi is 005 or 009. No need to get worked up on it if we haven't even seen how it plays out and how the situation is treated.
‘Probably’? :D
After 58 years you really reckon people are suddenly going to get confused when they see that logo? Like they all see the Bat signal and say ‘isn’t that what Batwoman wears on her chest?’. C’mon: don’t be silly. There’s no need to feel threatened by this.
How long is that from now?
An hour or so
