Denzel Washington is so overrated it's sad. I can't believe he won an Academy Award for that stupid Training Day movie. That movie was fucking horrible.
They have black people in the UK you ignorant ass. Bond's race is not essential to the story. His culture, nationality- British is. However, pdiddy would be awful.
gawd. jamie foxx really needs to shut his piehole. he doesn't want "equality" or any of that other crap, he wants blacks to be in the supposed place whites are now...and being a grouchy little indian girl...i am completely left out of the equation. so shove it jamie.
Bond's race IS essential to the story. He's a fucking white guy. Put a black guy in the part and all it'll look like is some politically correct, idiot director trying to make a statement.
Um, Angelina Jolie is going to be playing a Cuban of African descent in the Daniel Pearl story, so whatfuckingever! Whites historically played Asians, blacks, Latinos, etc. So, please, shut it. By the way, I don't like Foxx or Diddy.
All of the people who call Todd "racist" or "ignorant" for what MOST people know is true would go fucking nuts if someone cast some white girl or guy in a famous part which is traditionally filled by a black person.
Don't even try to deny that and please get your politically correct heads out of your politically correct asses. Kthx.
I could fall for a black British actor doing Bond at this point because anybody British with a nice body and halfway decent skills would be wayyyyy better than George Lazenby, but P Diddy? Fucking please. Yeah, I am sick of Jamie Foxx. Why do actors even talk when they don't have a script?
Denzel sucks, Diddy sucks and I thought Jamie was great in Ray, but he really needs to take his Oscar and shut the fuck up before he turns into another Sean Penn, Gwyneth Paltrow and all the rests of those actors who think they're geniuses.
You people are fucking ignorant bastards. It amazes me how racist people are. Do you even know any black people you fucking white supremacist ignoramus? I always considered the movie "Crash" to be hyperbole, but from reading this thread, I reckon it isn't it. I am shocked that people who are presumably young still feel this way about blacks. But would you ever mutter this nonsense out loud, or do you reserve it to the Internet because of your extreme cowardice?
I never had much regard for 'Suge' Knight (who is a REAL gangster compared to a wimp like Sean Combs) but I laughed out loud when I saw and interview with Knight and he said, "If me and Puffy were stranded on a desert island, it'd be cool. Puffy'd catch the food, Puffy would cook the dinner, Puffy would build the hut, Puffy would be taking care of all my needs."

Let's not forget blue-eyed Anthony Hopkins as a black man in The Human Stain. Some British black guy as James Bond would be no harder to buy than that BS. I'd certainly be more willing to see that than Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Granted, Sean P should have nothing to do with it. In fact he should stick to his dayjob(s). Stay off the movie screen.
11:27, chill out. all races and colors get made fun of on this website. it's not for the thin-skinned, whatever color that skin may be. don't worry, i'm sure brittany spears will do something stupid in the next few days, and then we will get to call her a white-trash redneck whore, and everything will be OK in the worlsd again. besides, how do you know that post was from a white guy. if chris rock said that stuff about blacks (and he does), you guys would be climbing over each other laughing hysterically.
heh! Scarlett'Rosa Parks' Johansen. Love it. Instead of trying to turn a white character black, why not make a develop a black spy character that has nothing to do with the royal secret service? A wholly unique story that hasn't been rehashed repeatedly. It isn't like there isn't a market for it. ISn't this the 22nd Bond film, the one coming up?
so is the idiot @ 11:27 who wouldn't know sarcasm, hyperbole, and trolling if a big black man was slamming them over the head with it. go find a band-aid for your bleeding heart.
I'm TOTALLY annoyed that angelina is playing a black/cuban woman. But let's not forget she f*ck(ng the producer and that apparently her sh!t doesn't stink and that she walks on water and that her baby is "the most beautiful baby on earth" (insert gagging sounds)
James Bond is British. If there were a wicked hot, smooth black brit he'd be a great James Bond. I would demand that he be british and not brooklyn-ish or compton-ish or watts-ish, however.
I totally concur with Todd's sarcasm and completely agree that Jamie Foxx is an idiot.
All the people doing the BS racist comments though (ie anon 10:56; 11:19)? Seriously? Please go kill yourself.
Angelina Jolie doesn't even look like a typical "white girl" so get off her tits. She could very easily look like Marianne Pearl, so don't bring that Team Aniston/Team Brangelina shit on this thread, you fucking nutcases. Try to stay on topic, please.
ok first.... "Dear 10:38, black people don't have pieholes. they have fried chicken holes, or watermelon holes.

Second, p diddy playing a Brit guy is just stupid. I mean come on, he does not look, act, sound like a brit. If he could then great but he doesn't and can't. Why are there so many different actors and actresses? Because they are better at certain roles....p diddy in my opinion could not act in anything. I think 90% of the people talking about this are not racist or against bonds being a black guy but that p diddy is completely uncharacteristic of the person he will be portraying. Does bond speak in slang? No. Does p diddy talk in anything but? No. Find a RESPECTABLE black actor and I would not mind.
A few years ago there was a SNL skit about this very same issue. Tracy Morgan was playing Bond, LaMont Bond. Star Jones was his bond girl, and he refused to do airplane or swimming scenes. Anyway, it was hilarious.
^ Yeah, but it's okay when Tracy Morgan and Dave Chappelle use those jokes, right? How do you know the commenters aren't black? You don't, so shut the fuck up.
While you're at it, go look up "racist" in the dictionary because most of you use the word without even knowing what it means.
Yes, whites are the only people to acceptably be made fun of. There's a double standard. Anyone who denies a double standard is flat out dumb or hasn't seen 'White Chicks.'
Ever see the opening on an episode of In Living Colour where Keenan Ivory Wayans shows how they spin a wheel to see which ethnicity will be made fun of? About 80% of the wheel was labeled 'white people.' I'm white and laughed my ass off. I LOVE Chapelle's Show too. ;)
"If you talk about race, that doesn't make you a racist." --- Charles Barkley (black man, married to a white woman, and has stated publicly that he would prefer his daughter to marry a white man)
Go ahead, call me a racist, I could care less. Just don't tell me East Indian girlfriend, Preeya. I'd sure hate for her to find out. :P
Where in that quote does Foxx say that Sean Combs should play Bond? Foxx stated that Denzel would have made a Bond when he was younger. Some of you seem to have prejudices that will not allow you to see a black actor in the role of Bond.But I'm sure there are black actors out in the world who play the role. Smart, charming, sophisticated, sexy men can be found in all races.
Marianne Pearl does look like someone of African descent, she's just not dark skinned. Her hair and features are pretty obviously those of someone of African descent. There are light skinned black or biracial actresses (such as Thandie Newton or Rosie Perez) who would be WAY better for that role.
Anthony Hopkins played a black man who was passing for white, so it stands to reason that a white man could play that role. Wentworth Miller is too young to have done the old man part, and as far as I know there's not a plethora of white looking black or biracial actors out there.
At some point, PC aside, when an iconic person/character has a certain ethnicity, it's kinda bizarre to switch it up and make them a new ethnicity just to showcase the latest popular actor. A white Rosa Parks, an Asian Daisy Duke, a black JFK, a Latino Fred Sanford? As much as everyone is supposed to pretend not to see ethnic differences, they are pretty obvious and there's nothing wrong with noticing. Let's not take it too far with the color blind thing. I'm black myself, and it gets really annoying when people are so scared to notice someone's ethnicity that it takes them 5 minutes to describe a person, when all they have to say is "the black woman over there in pink." Jesus Christ.
I'll assume you're asking me WHERE Charles Barkley said that he would prefer his daughter to marry a white man. Sir Charles said it in the Spring of 2005 while on the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch promoting his book "Who's Afraid Of A Large Blackman?" (Great book. Humourous and insightful.)
He said his reasoning is that the average young black male has no respect for women. Charles said it, not me. But go ahead and shoot the messenger. lol
My jaw hit the floor when he said that. But then again, Charles has never been the type to bite his tongue. One of the reasons why he is, and will always be, one of my favourite athletes. :-D
Great comment, but Rosie Perez as Marianne Pearl? Rosie will never be able to shake off that thick Puerto Rican, Brooklyn accent. Oh God, and that screechy voice of hers. Nails on a chalkboard. She'd be a horrible choice.
"Let's not take it too far with the color blind thing. I'm black myself, and it gets really annoying when people are so scared to notice someone's ethnicity that it takes them 5 minutes to describe a person, when all they have to say is "the black woman over there in pink." Jesus Christ."
Amen to 1:16. :)
I'm white, my girlfriend of 2 years is East Indian. When I go to her family functions, and someone wants to introduce themselves to me, she calls me 'the white guy'. And I take absolutely NO OFFENCE. Nor do I take offence when someone sings the classic Sesame Street line "one of these things isn't quite like the others". EVERYONE just laughs, because it IS funny.
"Let's not take it too far with the color blind thing. I'm black myself, and it gets really annoying when people are so scared to notice someone's ethnicity that it takes them 5 minutes to describe a person, when all they have to say is "the black woman over there in pink." Jesus Christ."
THANK YOU. the thing is, these PC morons never actually INTERACT WITH black people!!! they just want people to think they're oh-so-sensitive and progressive. i talk to black people, so i know they just want to be respected as human beings
I really don't have a problem with Bond being played by a black actor. Like someone else said, his race isn't integral to the story, unlike Rosa Parks, Ray Charles or JFK, who were real people with a known race.
I just can't think of any black actor who could convincingly pull off the role though. Even a young Sidney Poitier wouldn't work. Bond is a very special type combining many contrasting qualities. Many even say Sean Connery was and is the only one.
BTW would it change some of yours opinions if you knew Todd wasn't white? He isn't.
It's like i've always said, people don't fight for equality. They fight for dominance. If, 20 years in the future, somebody cast a white guy to play Jamie Foxx, there would still be a fucking uproar.
btw, Foxx is even more delusional than usual today. Hey, that rhymes. See, white men can rap.
I SAW THE SHOW "ROME" and CLEOPATRE WAS WHITE, NOT ARAB NOT ALF BLACK AND WHITE BUT REAL WHITE, THEY CHANGE THE STORY AS THEY WANT, SO, A JAMES BOND OF ANY NATIONALITY WOULD BE COOL ...
Cleopatra was not black or Arab, her family line was Greek. Greeks are considered white. So not a big change with the casting of a tan skinned, Mediterranean looking, white woman there.
August 03, 2006 2:33 PM - Um, Cleopatra as a white woman is historically accurate. She was Greek, not Egyptian. (Greeks are white, so don't even go there.)
Sometimes shouting out your view isn't such a great idea, is it.
You do realize James Bond is a fictional character whilst Rosa Parks actually existed, therefore making a white woman playing her a biological impossibility save for some east village experimental theater project? Strictly speaking James Bond could be played by P. Diddy or Denzel in the same way Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts starred in a movie called "The Mexican."
So JB could be black for purposes of a movie maintaining his horrible sense of humor (i hate puns). Bloody good secret agent though.
^James Bond is WHITE in the novels.... "The Mexican" was a GUN you fucking idiot.
BTW, the only people shouting "OMG, TODD IS RACIST!!" is white liberals. The ones that are still on their third Master's degree that mommy and daddy are still paying for who spend their spare time rescuing koalas and hugging trees. Put the bong and frisbee down.
joejoe- I am lovin you more and more each day. Yesterday it was the Tori Spelling Grasshopper comment and now this. I am dating an east indian guy and I'm white and the same thing happens to me. I am always singled out and ridiculed by his family because I'm white and I think it is so funny. They always have to ease up on the spices for poor whitey after I spent an hour in the bathroom after my first meal at his parents place. They will NEVER let me live that one down. It's funny. Anyway...Same thing happens when he comes to my family reunions and get togethers. He loves to make fun of himself in our setting. We have a sense of humour and don't take ourselves very seriously.
Everyone needs to lighten up.
P. Diddy shouldn't be James Bond only because he would do a terrible job and he would create a mockery of the James Bond character because of his acting. Race has nothing to do with it.
"Anonymous said... ^James Bond is WHITE in the novels.... "The Mexican" was a GUN you fucking idiot."
I see. Well since James Bond is based off a serial novel we wouldn't want to ruin the integrity of that. That would be like - i don't know - trying to cast Wilfred Brimley in the role of an older Jackie Robinson. Yeah, exactly like that.
What's that?
Denzel was cast in Much Ado About Nothing? That was a book wasn't it? Well was he black in the book? He bloody well better have been. Who wrote it anyway? Is it the same guy who penned the Bond stuff?
And yes The Mexican was a gun of course but it takes some sense of irony to appreciate those two words on a movie poster next to the whitest actors in Hollywood. I saw Mona Lisa Smile.
"Denzel was cast in Much Ado About Nothing? That was a book wasn't it? Well was he black in the book? He bloody well better have been. Who wrote it anyway? Is it the same guy who penned the Bond stuff?"
Denzel is extremely overrated. The only reason why people make a big deal about him is because he's one of the few black actors out there and he's been cast in too many films just like Sidney Poitier. At least Sidney is a good actor, though where Denzel isn't.
The only reason why Denzel won an Oscar is because the Oscars are bullshit and the Academy was sick of hearing threats and complaints from the NAACP and Jessie Jackson following assholes, so they did it to try and shut them up.
A Bond movie starring a a black 007 who's fucking a white Bond Girl or even a black Bond Girl would never be anywhere close to being a "blockbuster" and you all know it. And if you don't know it, then you're blinded by your bullshit political correctness. Get real, people.
"Hollywood is crazy ... First, they had The Mexican with Brad Pitt, then The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Well, I've written a movie, maybe they'll produce it ... It's called The Last Nigger On Earth, starring Tom Hanks..." - Paul Mooney (he's a black guy for all you white people crying "racist" around here)
Did anyone bother to go see the remake of Shaft? I don't know how it did at the box office. I like the original guy though, Richard Roundtree. The remake should have had someone white who takes himself too seriously, like Nicolas Cage or Brad Pitt. Just for a laugh. :) No! Steven Seagal!!
Todd is totally correct, especially since Bond was actually based on a real guy who was definitely NOT black. And it makes as much sense as having Scarlett as Rosa, blah blah blah.
Would it make sense to have cast a black guy as Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels? Of course not. The original role wasn't written for anyone of any particular nationality (Lucas wanted Japanese superstar Toshiro Mifune at first), but as the sequels come out, people have an idea of how the character should be. They'll go postal if it's changed. Not to mention that it would completely shoot even the PRETENSE of continuity to hell.
Jamie, either shut up or make your OWN spy blockbuster, rather than trying to cast a freak like Diddy as the iconic spy, thus ruining it forever.
Denzel is extremely overrated. The only reason why people make a big deal about him is because he's one of the few black actors out there and he's been cast in too many films just like Sidney Poitier.
totally agree. denzel is a REALLY BAD actor. he's considered good because he's a black guy that is considered to have integrity, and because women think he looks good.
morgan freeman is another black guy who's famous because he's not a gangsta. he plays the same character in every damn movie!
...mmhmm. Yes, plays are written with a fingertip in the steam on a bathroom mirror, not on paper with a pen or pencil, or perhaps in your case fingerpaints, right 7:58? ;)
By the way, UP YOUR MEDS! Aah, you're so right, it does feel better to scream. :D
"...why not make a develop a black spy character that has nothing to do with the royal secret service? A wholly unique story that hasn't been rehashed repeatedly. It isn't like there isn't a market for it."
With bio pics the race should not be changed, however when dealing with nonexistent fictional characters then the best person for the job should get the part.
Jaime Foxx as James Bond, why not?
That OC kid as Jet Jackson, why not?
It makes no sense for a black man to play George Washington just like it makes no sense for Scarlett to play Rosa Parks.
No offense to any race, but James Bond is a white guy. Always has been and always should be. James West was also a white guy and they cast Will "Oh, hell no" Smith for the box office bomb "Wild Wild West." That was a travesty.
I am sick and tired of Hollywood casting minorities in what is traditionally white roles. And I'm talking about re-makes here. Whether it's Kojak, Kingpin, The Wizard of Oz (The Wiz), etc. They're doing it just to cater to those minorities. It'd be like casting Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn to replace the cast in "Bad Boys." Or like the time Bruce Lee got bumped from "Kung Fu" and they threw David Carridine into a Chinese role. It's just stupid.
If Jamie Foxx wants to create a black superhero like Bond, then he needs to step up and make a new character himself. I guess it's just easier to steal what's already out there. Jamie Foxx better be thankful for what he has, because I predict his career is about to bottom out. Hey Jamie, we'll see you in the video store when "Leprechaun VII: Back 2 tha Hood with Diddy" hits the shelves.
you know, as a biracial 20 yr old (with black and white thank you) i would just like to say that NOT every fucking things NEEDS to be made "black"!
jesus holy shit Jamie Foxx! just b glad u won a fuckin oscar for playing ray! now go to ur mansion and go swim in ur money and leave the james bonds of the world to handsome white men.
thank you.
ps we have our "james bond" his name is Shaft! can you dig it? :-p
People had a fit about Bond having blond hair in the upcoming movie... I couldn't even imagine the uproar over a race change. You just can't up and change a characters identity like that when he's been around for 40+ years. Sorry Jamie but no black, Indian, Mexican, or whatever else is going to be playing Bond. And seriously P Diddy(or whats his new nickname)? There are probably a million better Black British guys who could play a British spy so much better.
Hell the Tanquary guy would be better then Diddy. At least he has class.
Sorry to hear your first serving of Indian food did a number on your insides. Fortunately, I spent my teen years in Louisiana eating Cajun food, and had been eating North Indian curry for years before I met my girlfriend. That being said, my girlfriend's family is from South India, and South Indian curry is very spicey. I felt the spice in my tastebuds, yes, but it didn't re-arrange my intestinal tract. ;)
Lord Mountbatten, I'm fresh out of chapati. How about some samosas?
To whomever asked to see my girl's anus: gather your Desi porn yourself. :D
What I like is the guy whose argument is that Bond was based off a real person. If that's true I think they lost that sense of realism a long time ago...around the time the chubby asian dude was killing people by flipping his derby hat into their chest cavity.
Anonymous should probably just stay anonymous.
I agree the race thing is silly but it's AS silly to think a black bond is such a wierd concept as it is to think the world is somehow owed a black bond.
And for the record the first person I ever heard mention using Denzel as the Bond character was film critic Roger Ebert and that was 7 years ago. Let's just call this what it was...an excuse for more scarlet johannsen pictures. Bond can be an eskimo if it gets that accomplished.
James Bond is so over anyway, like who really cares who plays him anymore? I can't even remember James Bond past Roger Moore. It's time for that vehicle to be shut down.
All the daytime actresses are blond and look alike; every show from Bonanza, Gunsmoke to John Wayne movies, had white actors portraying Native Americans or Hispanics so no one on this silly board can claim racism about anything or dislike someone's idea just because a person is of a certain color. If Hollywood wants it, they'll find anyone to play it. Who's going to play J. Edgar Hoover, the closeted mulatto?
While I agree with P. Diddy being a godawful James Bond, but if Denzel could do a British/Caribbean accent, then you might have a Bond movie that's actually interesting.
s. l. washburn said... joejoe - Indians are white, strictly speaking; Aryans, in fact.
Thanks for the insight. The tattoo of Hitler on her ass, her stiff-armed cab-hailing technique, her love for knee-high boots. How did I not know my dear Preeya is an Aryan??
I totally agree with Todd, and I'm black. As far as the whole double standard thing, when your ancestors have been slavea on plantations, then can make fun of black people as much as you want. Until then, u kinda have to live with it. sorry.
You are right, I humbly stand corrected. ;) Just researched the word aryan. I had no idea of its original, and long outdated, meaning. The shift from the original meaning to today's more generally accepted meaning beginning in the 1830s. Certainly long before my time.
I learn a new thing everyday. Today I learned two things: the origin of the word aryan, and that white supremacists/neo-nazis are dumber than I originally thought.
Uptight and suspicious? Damn, my 'Microsoft Exact Sentiments 4.0 Keyboard' must need replacing.
All yall must be crackers cause the comments yall making sound racist and out of line. I think Denzel could have been a good bond when he was younger too. Yall just don't want to see a black person shining as much as you white people. It's really ashame. That's Jamie's comment and he has a right to say whatever he want to say. So you crackers need to shove it. Yall just afraid cause we taking over. Don't be scared cause we would run it better than yall would anyway.

A wholly unique story that hasn't been rehashed repeatedly. It isn't like there isn't a market for it. ISn't this the 22nd Bond film, the one coming up?

I'm TOTALLY annoyed that angelina is playing a black/cuban woman. But let's not forget she f*ck(ng the producer and that apparently her sh!t doesn't stink and that she walks on water and that her baby is "the most beautiful baby on earth" (insert gagging sounds)
James Bond is British. If there were a wicked hot, smooth black brit he'd be a great James Bond. I would demand that he be british and not brooklyn-ish or compton-ish or watts-ish, however.
I totally concur with Todd's sarcasm and completely agree that Jamie Foxx is an idiot.

Second, p diddy playing a Brit guy is just stupid. I mean come on, he does not look, act, sound like a brit. If he could then great but he doesn't and can't. Why are there so many different actors and actresses? Because they are better at certain roles....p diddy in my opinion could not act in anything. I think 90% of the people talking about this are not racist or against bonds being a black guy but that p diddy is completely uncharacteristic of the person he will be portraying. Does bond speak in slang? No. Does p diddy talk in anything but? No. Find a RESPECTABLE black actor and I would not mind.

Ever see the opening on an episode of In Living Colour where Keenan Ivory Wayans shows how they spin a wheel to see which ethnicity will be made fun of? About 80% of the wheel was labeled 'white people.' I'm white and laughed my ass off. I LOVE Chapelle's Show too. ;)

Smart, charming, sophisticated, sexy men can be found in all races.

Marianne Pearl does look like someone of African descent, she's just not dark skinned. Her hair and features are pretty obviously those of someone of African descent. There are light skinned black or biracial actresses (such as Thandie Newton or Rosie Perez) who would be WAY better for that role.
Anthony Hopkins played a black man who was passing for white, so it stands to reason that a white man could play that role. Wentworth Miller is too young to have done the old man part, and as far as I know there's not a plethora of white looking black or biracial actors out there.
At some point, PC aside, when an iconic person/character has a certain ethnicity, it's kinda bizarre to switch it up and make them a new ethnicity just to showcase the latest popular actor. A white Rosa Parks, an Asian Daisy Duke, a black JFK, a Latino Fred Sanford? As much as everyone is supposed to pretend not to see ethnic differences, they are pretty obvious and there's nothing wrong with noticing. Let's not take it too far with the color blind thing. I'm black myself, and it gets really annoying when people are so scared to notice someone's ethnicity that it takes them 5 minutes to describe a person, when all they have to say is "the black woman over there in pink." Jesus Christ.

I'll assume you're asking me WHERE Charles Barkley said that he would prefer his daughter to marry a white man.
Sir Charles said it in the Spring of 2005 while on the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch promoting his book "Who's Afraid Of A Large Blackman?" (Great book. Humourous and insightful.)
He said his reasoning is that the average young black male has no respect for women. Charles said it, not me. But go ahead and shoot the messenger. lol

I really don't have a problem with Bond being played by a black actor. Like someone else said, his race isn't integral to the story, unlike Rosa Parks, Ray Charles or JFK, who were real people with a known race.
I just can't think of any black actor who could convincingly pull off the role though. Even a young Sidney Poitier wouldn't work. Bond is a very special type combining many contrasting qualities. Many even say Sean Connery was and is the only one.
BTW would it change some of yours opinions if you knew Todd wasn't white? He isn't.

You do realize James Bond is a fictional character whilst Rosa Parks actually existed, therefore making a white woman playing her a biological impossibility save for some east village experimental theater project? Strictly speaking James Bond could be played by P. Diddy or Denzel in the same way Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts starred in a movie called "The Mexican."
So JB could be black for purposes of a movie maintaining his horrible sense of humor (i hate puns). Bloody good secret agent though.

Denzel is extremely overrated. The only reason why people make a big deal about him is because he's one of the few black actors out there and he's been cast in too many films just like Sidney Poitier. At least Sidney is a good actor, though where Denzel isn't.
The only reason why Denzel won an Oscar is because the Oscars are bullshit and the Academy was sick of hearing threats and complaints from the NAACP and Jessie Jackson following assholes, so they did it to try and shut them up.

Todd is totally correct, especially since Bond was actually based on a real guy who was definitely NOT black. And it makes as much sense as having Scarlett as Rosa, blah blah blah.
Would it make sense to have cast a black guy as Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels? Of course not. The original role wasn't written for anyone of any particular nationality (Lucas wanted Japanese superstar Toshiro Mifune at first), but as the sequels come out, people have an idea of how the character should be. They'll go postal if it's changed. Not to mention that it would completely shoot even the PRETENSE of continuity to hell.

No offense to any race, but James Bond is a white guy. Always has been and always should be. James West was also a white guy and they cast Will "Oh, hell no" Smith for the box office bomb "Wild Wild West." That was a travesty.
I am sick and tired of Hollywood casting minorities in what is traditionally white roles. And I'm talking about re-makes here. Whether it's Kojak, Kingpin, The Wizard of Oz (The Wiz), etc. They're doing it just to cater to those minorities. It'd be like casting Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn to replace the cast in "Bad Boys." Or like the time Bruce Lee got bumped from "Kung Fu" and they threw David Carridine into a Chinese role. It's just stupid.
If Jamie Foxx wants to create a black superhero like Bond, then he needs to step up and make a new character himself. I guess it's just easier to steal what's already out there. Jamie Foxx better be thankful for what he has, because I predict his career is about to bottom out.

I agree the race thing is silly but it's AS silly to think a black bond is such a wierd concept as it is to think the world is somehow owed a black bond.

All the daytime actresses are blond and look alike; every show from Bonanza, Gunsmoke to John Wayne movies, had white actors portraying Native Americans or Hispanics so no one on this silly board can claim racism about anything or dislike someone's idea just because a person is of a certain color. If Hollywood wants it, they'll find anyone to play it.
