    To all those who are positive this was done for diversity and political correctness, I ask you this: What was the casting process like? You must have been heavily involved if you know exactly why these decisions were made.

    That was an attempt at sarcasm ;) hence the "lol"
    I have nothing but respect for EoN, Barbara and Michael. This is not just a job for them, this is their life, their family legacy. But most people don't see that or care and i have to accept that.

    Oh ok I didn't catch that lol @00Agent

    Excellent response by Naomie Harris. Casting her as Moneypenny was brilliant!

    Look at the Bond Instagram page proof that nothing is changing never seen them post a love scene on any social media page and it's from the Daniel era

    It only happened in the comics a good amount of time ago.

    I'm not really familiar with comics but I'm not surprised it's a Hollywood trend whether you hate it or love it

    Black female 007, what an original idea!

    007 being a woman isn’t necessarily as big of a deal as other character changes, because 007 is the codename, while James Bond will still be the focus and still a white man as Fleming created. Bond is still overall seeing the least changes compared to many others.

    Chris Hemsworth will be in it though:

    It's not certain yet, but it's likely.

    Yeah it's just one film though it's not going to be the future of the franchise

    @FoxRox I see it as a win win they get what they want we get we want EON is a family business to them if they didn't care about the characters future they would have sold the franchise by now

    Hopefully not another quiet week. We may have to wait until August for more significant news though.

    Hey @Sani, Ian Fleming also wrote about M re-assigning James Bond to the diplomatic branch and re-numbering him 7777. I don't think this was a promotion, lol, since Bond had been drinking heavily and making mistakes ever since Tracy's death... M was ready to fire him...

    @peter yeah I just wonder as a brand and logo to people who are general audience members who know nothing about Fleming I'm sure they have to take this into consideration but I'm not the marketing team it will be very interesting to see how they pull it off if they do do this.

    @Sani the victory is we get the future which is starting over new Bond different continuity. If Spectre wasn't botched so bad we would have a new Bond with this one.

    Bond gave his resignation to M and it was accepted in Licence To Kill, 30 years ago. Plenty of people managed to understand that the 007 logo all over the posters of the film were the branding of the film, despite, I'm sorry to tell you, James Bond not being 007 for the majority of that movie :)

    I thought your issue was the 7777 thing being hard to publicise?
    And you think LTK didn’t do as well as the other ones because he wasn’t 007? Really?

    @mtm no it would be a nice easter egg 7777. No I know I was just poking fun i don't think that was the reason or at least the only reason it was the tone of the film. it is ironic though. ;)
