pernod 466 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 A coloured bond may be the way forward. I nominate Ali G.. well if they want to be stupid, lets go the whole hog. pernod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 They can have a "Bond" any colour they like. No doubt they'll have a Jane Bond before long and a gay one and a disabled one. The fact still remains that none of those are how Fleming described his Bonds. Even Craig being blond isn't true to the original. Having said that Idris is cool enough to be 007, but still not Bond material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 About as acceptable as having a black man play mcBeth, or a white man play Shaka zulu king. You might be on to something there. What about re writing Zulu. We could have 150 Zulus barricaded in Rorkes Drift armed only with spears and animal hide shields defending against 4000 red coated British army heathens armed with martini action rifles, following wave after wave of British attacks, at the end of the film the British stand in top of the ridge singing "God save the Queen" as the camera pans back to view the hundreds of dead heathen British laying amongst thousands of spent rifle cases. That might help redress the balance for the PC brigade if a Black Bond isn't acceptable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,509 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 They did it with karate kid and Annie..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Not seen Annie but the Karate Kid was a total reboot. And mr Myagi was still an asian martial artist which is probably something as integral to that character as being a white upper class person is to the character of James Bond.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 If we're going for authenticity, and upper class, maybe Boris Johnson as the next Bond? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I can just see him riding a motorbike across rooftops shouting "Oi, would you mind coming back here you bloody roughian!" at whatever villain he's chasing down!
