Good to see Sony get the light turned on their private behavior. They're always so ripe & ready to shine it on others.

Stings, don't it.

[unleashbaynes]

that's kinda a stupid thing to do. bond is a white character, if you want a black secret agent that's fine, but it should be a new storyline.

[ChumpDumper]

that's kinda a stupid thing to do. Nick Fury is a white character, if you want a black secret agent that's fine, but it should be a new storyline.:cry

Idris Elba played a good role in No Good Deed..the movie was brought down by questionable directing choices.

They gave the role to pierce brosnan at one time..what could be worse than that

just saying. they recently put on a play of 'a christmas story' with an all latino cast set in mexico and it just ended up raping the original story and being highly offensive to latinos. changing the races of characters just to be able to say that you did it doesn't really seem true to the process.

That worked out OK.

[G-Nob]

According to multiple news articles, after Spectre, Craig is signed for Bond 25 which won't be released till at least 2018 or 2019. You won't expect a Bond reboot for at least 3 years after that. In 2022, Elba will be 50 years old. I'm all for Elba being the next Bond, but he'd have to start now. Not to say he wouldn't still be in great shape!

"Pascal was born on March 25, 1958 in Los Angeles, California.[1] She is Jewish"I'm shocked. The hollywood jews have been generally been at war with White people and the right for decades. Of course black people won't complain, not until some Jew decides to make a MLK movie with a white lesbian, then they'll suddenly have a huge problem with changing the race of a character.

You didn't like? I felt he was very classy, obviously the polar opposite of someone like Craig who is more physically intimidating. IMO a secret agent wouldn't be the size of Craig, dead give away on secret missions.

Elba is a good actor, no doubt. Not sure I'd want him as Bond though. It depends on the alternatives.

I'm surprised Pascal has a job after bungling the Spiderman franchise and the recent PR mess. She's part of the Tribe though so she'll be fine.

[SupremeGuy]

Trill, do you or your people have any pride? Why aren't young blacks forcing hollywood to make movies based off of black authors/stories/characters? You're always talking about culture vultures(trash like azalea and bieber) but love it when white characters are transformed into black characters.

I'm asking, can you name me some great books written by black authors with a black lead character. I'm willing to read and discuss these epic stories that hollywood refuses to write about, if you are.

[Big Empty]

Black dude? James on Bond?

[boutons_deux]

A black Bond wouldn't be an artistic decision. It's only and always a business, a money (demographic) decision. A good black Bond with a good story, dialogue would easily be better than silly joker Roger Moore.

[Pauly D]

Just get Clive Owen and stfu. Don't know if anyone mentioned him in this long ass thread yet. He'd be the best Bond outside of Connery. He should've been the choice last time anyway

They are going to make a short video about the song...Stack O" Lee/Staggerlee. You know the story, no way in hell two white guys could play the parts of Stack O" Lee and Billy.

Tonto and a black Lone Ranger?

Ian Fleming the daddy of James Bond never meant for him to be a black man, that should be obvious. A black man with white women in 1953...?????????????

Even in 2014, it's highly unlikely a Black could infiltrate an elite organization. He would stick out like a sore thumb. Usually the Bond story lines involve businessmen and politicians. Unless it's sports or drugs, blacks aren't involved.

I can't believe we are even talking about this. You can't mess with Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade, Jack Reacher, Philip Marlowe, Perry Mason because of some movie. Those are white characters, and it stops there. You can't have a black guy play Fu Manchu, Thulsa Doom, Moriarity, Lex Luthor, The Joker. No more than a white guy can play John Henry, Shaft, Alex Cross.

So they make another King Kong. This time Ann is a black chick, that's not going to work. Hell, make the natives....white.....hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They finally bring Michael Moorcocks Elric of Melniborn the albino prince with his runsword Stormbringer to the silver screen, Elric is black, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Bond is known world wide, he's an icon. You can't make him an American, put glasses on him, make him a short Chinaman, a Samoan, a Cherokee or a black guy.

The black version of The Wizard of Oz was quite successful and is still very popular. You guys who are insisting that literary accurateness must be transferred to the film world don't have a problem with racebending when white actors play every possible ethnicity? I think you all are missing the point of acting and just like being spoonfed whatever Hollywood decides will make them more money.

But as far as James Bond goes, Idris Elba is every bit as capable as any of the modern film Bonds; but Bond isn't my cup of tea so I wouldn't watch no matter what color the actor playing him is.

That's right, and we all know the differences between blacks and whites goes far deeper than skin color. Ever see a white guy try and sing about slavery? A black guy singing rockabilly?


Some things are simply what they are, and if you want it realistic you keep it as it is. Try another remake of King Kong using a 4 foot chimp......good luck! Remake Mice and Men making Lenny a Harvard grad.

Idris Elba played the whitest Asgardian, Heimdall

He did a good job tbh

A good actor is a good actor, period.

So I'm all for Elba playing Bond tbh

Some things are simply what they are, and if you want it realistic you keep it as it is.Because James Bond is all about realism.

:tu

If Elba is capable to play a mythological character inspired by Vikings (you cannot whitter than vikings tbh), he is capable to play Bond.

[bigzak25]

I haven't given a shit about bond since casino royale, so they can do whatever they want.

[mingus]

No, I don't know what he's fucking talking about.

Maybe you can take a crack at trying to explain the importance of a racially pure actor's playing a fictional character in a movie, and how that purity is verified and manifests itself onscreen.

Its not important to him as long as whites aren't the ones getting the shaft. Where was the outrage over white actor playing Jesus (and not to mention Mary)--that's just one example. Another one is Argo--the lead's real name was Antonio Mendez, a mexican-American. Lol Ben Affleck gets to play him. And these are REAL people. Way worse than changing a fictionalized story.

Personally, I don't think the casting of him will be anywhere near as controversial as who and what race will play the Bond girl. There are not many movies with interracial lovers (more specifically with black male and white female), the few that do are probably under the radar.
