I do hope they stay with the premise Brosnan set up...it's a little more realistic...well as far as Bond movies go...It seems like Sean Connery was trying to do the same with his later movies...

Clive Owen Now we talking! Remember Samanatha Bond has already said if the new Bond is too young she will not return as Moneypenny. So we may loose 2 for the price of 1.

RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Pierce Brosnan Out As James Bond, 007
Good point. You know, I always want to take Hollywood to task for being too youth and looks conscious. Yet Sunday I had a conversation with some friends on what Black person would make a good James Bond. Three of us were considering people like Denzel washington (too obvious in my opinion), and even Don Cheadle (who'd be great). What surprised me was one Sister who kept rejecting Brother after Brother as too ugly. She kept naming people like Shemar Moore, Morris Chestnut, even Christopher Williams (from New Jack City). She kept focusing on only the men considered most handsome, without, in my opinion, looking critically at their acting abilities. Cheadle, for example, who I *know* could pull off a spy role, was rejected out of hand as too small and not handsome. I mused out loud that eternal question, does Hollywood dictate to us the type of actors we want, or do we tell them what we want? Her superficiality was very telling. Anyway, the whole conversation made me realize that some people are just as superficial as Hollywood hopes. It also made me realize that Blacks are sorely lacking what could be a great character: a superspy. Let's not fight for making a Black Bond, let's look at getting our own Black spy with his own story and history. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of B.
