Ian Fleming's image of James Bond; John McLusky's rendition of James Bond.1957
commissioned to aid the Daily Express
comic strip artists.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_(literary_character)
if you are a Bond fan ...then you gotta read this
Vodka martini, "shaken not stirred" - often said as part of a bad Sean Connery impersonation - is one of the most quotable lines from Bond.
Yet Her Majesty's top secret agent's love of the bottle would leave him impotent and at death's door.
Doctors analysing the Ian Fleming novels show James Bond polishes off the equivalent of one and a half bottles of wine every day.
They say he is not the man to trust to deactivate a nuclear bomb.
Doctors in Derby and Nottingham sat down to read the 14 Bond novels in their spare time.
With a notebook at hand they charted every day and every drink.
Excluding the 36 days Bond was in prison, hospital or rehab, the spy downed 1,150 units of alcohol in 88 days.
It works out at 92 units a week - about five vodka martinis a day and four times the recommended maximum intake for men in the UK.

a black bond might work, and it might not. just imagine he's on a mission that has world-wide importance, like some sort of nuclear bomb thing. next thing you know, he finds a lost wallet full of credit cards. well, is he gonna finish the mission or go on a spending spree??? it'd have to be the right black guy, lol...

Actually, that's a fitting image... Anyone watched Almost Human? Probably got cancelled because there weren't any hispanic androids.

Yeah, well, that's the right thing to say, if the best man for the job turns out to be black it shouldn't matter. There's however a difference between selecting the best man for the job from a list of actors regardless of his color and selecting the best black actor for the role.
Above all, they will choose an actor and disclose information that will make them the most money. The commercialization of political correctness...

Ha, actually agree with wilksey for once. Good post.
Don't think any rational person is saying that if you're against a black guy playing bond, you are automatically racist though.
It's normal to have objections and opinions on casting choices. Do you remember all the shit people were saying when Daniel Craig was cast? It varied from - no he's got blonde hair, bond has always been dark. Too - No, his accent is too common, bond doesn't speak like that.
You can disagree with the choice of Elba or whoever else is cast and not be a massive racist. It just gets a bit creepy when you're view is shaped by already formed fears and prejudices.

James Bond is an Industry, its anarchic and well past 'its sell by date'
the trend since the early sixties is to use the movies to 'product place' merchants goods, to the masses
as an icon to fashion for that particular year, forever out of reach?
indeed in many poor western colleges you can actually be accredited a degree in the 'subject'
it started with a washout from world war 2, Ian Fleming, a decadent middle class English nob,
a love torn homosexual, who had a hard on for a colleague, William Plomer,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Plomer)
who later became his publisher, then his agent in London
meanwhile Fleming was never a good writer or sailor, but was
'well connected' thru his dads banking, and used the British old boys club to the max

not heard anything about James Bond recently, i hear Tom Hardy is popular now i guess he will get it at some point
i was a little alarmed when i watched Denzel as the Equalizer recently
Robert McCall was originally a old grey haired white English dude in the TV series
i guess it does not really matter what colour skin the ACTOR has , the Equalizer TV series was pretty shit and the film was shit too even with Denzel assisting
it would be ok for James Bond to be Black imo
but i do not think the film makers would go for a Wesley snipes (dark chocolate) so they are limited to which blacks they can choose anyway
they could possibly use Wesley if they whiten him up , that would be fun
they will most likely find a milk chocolate type , he will look more natural wearing a savile row suit rather than Nike
Is Will Smith too old, can he do a English accent ?
Will could be James Bond , he can wear suits convincingly
perhaps Will should shave off his afro for the Bond role. or maybe wear a weave like this dude below
i vote Will Smith + weave
