Is that an agenda or an explanation of how they crafted their story?
Leaving politics and "woke" movements out of this, if James Bond didn't have a colorful cast of people (both in personality and skin colour), it'd truly stand out as quite unbelievable-- especially considering the city this secret agent comes from.
I've never been offended by this casting, nor the idea that Nomi filled a vacated position that James Bond held while he was in the service. In fact, I immediately thought how his ego would be a little kicked by this and it will create some fun moments between the two. Just my opinion.
If they were really pushing this agenda why not go all the way and cast a black woman as Bond? I think it’s clear that they’re aware of the debate but I don’t see this as pushing an agenda so much as doing something interesting for a single film. Playing with expectations isn’t an agenda.
Im surprised they have any restraint it probably won't last long since they keep opening cans of worms. That's the exact issue is they don't see it as such neither does anybody else but if we flipped things around EON would be left in rubble from protests. I yearn for the days we could just go to the movies to have fun.
It's both. I would have no problem if they didn't have to go the extra step other wise I wouldn't have a problem with this film.
My bet is, James Bond will not be 007 at any point in this film.
Even writing those words gives me a little buzz. I think @Burgess is absolutely correct: they are playing with expectations, and, I will add, there will be plenty of tension that is derived from this new angle.
This would actually be great.
There’s no need to be so petulant.
I agree 100%. If another agent is given the number 007 it would make no sense to take it away and give it back to Bond; and this is assuming that he is returning to Mi-6.
I don't think he is, at least nor permanently . Bond is a free agent, no pun intended. This starts of as a favor for a friend, Felix, which leads to something with world wide and personal implications.
Now, it is possible that he is temporarily reinstated so that he again has a license to kill, but I don't think he would have the designation 007.
@FoxRox @Denbigh no name calling the mods @Birdleson agree on this if I was one I would name call you crossed the line
He already retired at the end of Spectre And drove off they won’t do that again
I think he is not re-joining the service, @Tuck91 ... He is a retired Mi6 agent who, as @Talos said, helps his friend Felix which then leads to something bigger. He returns back to M and Mi6 to work with them, but not as a Double-0.
So, at the end of the film, he won't be resigning again-- since he never came back as an agent.
Hah! I just imagined Q handing Bond a gadget, calling him 007, before correcting himself naming him "Jim" :))
He's an agent if he goes out of the field and it would make sense of the satisfying ending conclusion kill him isn't satisfying marrying maybe but it seems like they totally broke up. Plus rami wonders to Craig if he comes back due to the ending in the script.
We know Bond doesn’t play by the rules, so maybe Mallory gives him Diplomatic status to help the investigation. However, M warns Bond not to step out of his role and follow the lead of the new 007.
Bond will agree to the terms with every intention of breaking them.
As Lasha said in interviews: Nomi’s by the book; she does it the way Mallory wants it . Then in comes Bond to do it his way, against M’s wishes.
He will be out in the field despite the fact that he technically shouldn’t be.
But that’s James Bond for you...
Seems you read the script did you write some dialogue and all she says is by the book the rest is speculation by you and not written or said words he hasn't told bond anything skyfall and everything this is a different animal we know nothing so far. If I'm wrong Congratulations
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
M: "Well, 007, best get started on your new assignment."
Bond: "With pleasure, M. I'll go see Q about a new Aston."
M: "Oh, there are no new Astons, 007. You wrote four of the bloody things off, not to mention an Aston Martin glider - we had to cut overhead somewhere! No, you'll have to catch the bus from now on. Aaaand there it is now, the number 9."
(Bond gives the same annoyed reaction he had when running after the metro train, and starts sprinting after the bus. We see Bond run off into the London 'sunset', passing the old couple from SF, while the *007* theme plays into the credits, reinforcing his MI6 status.)
As for now, this is exactly what I'm expecting for NTTD.
If we didn't do that, we probably wouldn't have this franchise in the first place.
@Denbigh its hard when the journalists have been right so far. They got the plot right and now they gave away the first act. Via mashable
