Jody Comer would get my vote - akin to the "Killing Eve" role [pretty / hard / bi]
Make it steamy & violent as per KE too

[Film] Next James Bond?
- Thread starter Popeye
- Start date
Or maybe a new series of films could be made for her. It doesn't make sense for her to be James Bond.
Agree. Except it would start in the 1950s.
I'd like to see the books all filmed verbatim and in period. I love the clothes-, cigarettes- and booze-fetishism of the books. I love the authenticity of the settings (all of which were real places - Goldfinger's art deco house isn't too far from where I live). I love the thoroughness of Bond's craft. (And, let's be honest, I loved the 'deep cleavage' and small arses of the women protagonists).
Rather than full movies these could be done as TV series. I'd be in.

Absolutely with you. However most of the films would be 18 rated. For example in “From Russia WithLove” the scene with the gipsy girls fighting in the book has has them naked versus the somewhat less steamy film version. I like your thinking
Plus masses of abuse of dexedrine by Bond. Not to mention 60 fags a day. And let's not even start on his *negotiated* seductions
And we though there was a kerfuffle when channel 4 ran Blackeyes.
(I'm still in. There is a great deal I can tolerate for a Sea Island shirt and a lightweight worsted American suit. And a Martini. One of my favourite moments was 30 years ago, in a swanky bar in a London hotel, I ordered a Martini and the barman shot back with "vodka or gin?". I always have it with gin, but I'm not an imitator. I'm an innovator. I asked him to put a few olives in it.

I think they trashed the franchise by killing Bond.
Obviously they’ll get round that. Likely a re-set rather than “he actually escaped” scenario.
They did it all wrong in my opinion.
Not sure I’m that interested in any more Bond but we’ll see. And if a middle aged white bloke isn’t interested, they’ll struggle to get an audience. I think.

Anything that stands out in that lot? The Harry Potter one is weird and disappointing.
I'm not sure how any of them would compare to James Bond, who's been in 25 blockbuster films, changing ethnicity.

I would suggest Jesus, Genghis Khan and Cleopatra might be more well known and probably in more films

Whilst you’re innovating, you could ask for a nice Red Pepper and Pesto Focaccia to go with It.Plus masses of abuse of dexedrine by Bond. Not to mention 60 fags a day. And let's not even start on his *negotiated* seductions

it might obscure the influence of the olive.
Is it 1956 that Khan was last whitewashed? Hopefully we've moved on since then and I don't think many of us would like him played by a white actor in any modern blockbuster. Jesus has been whitewashed for hundreds of years, so portraying him as white in films is hardly surprising, even though it's inaccurate. But as with Genghis, he shouldn't be played by white actors.
