On Zir Majesty's Secret Service: Producer of James Bond Franchise Says The Next Bond Might Be "Non-Binary"

Headline joke from radar in the comments.

James Bond will return... for bottom surgery.

Barbara Broccoli confirmed the next 007 won't be a woman, but the character could identify as non-binary during Friday's episode of the "Girls on Film" podcast. Non-binary is defined as someone who doesn't identify as being male or female, usually choosing to go by "they" or "them" pronouns.

"I do, because I don't think that we should be making films where women are playing men," Broccoli replied.

"I think we should be making more films about women," she further explained. "I think Bond will be a man."

"Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?" host Anna Smith asked.

"Who knows?" Broccoli replied. "I mean, I think it's open. We just have to find the right actor."

Honestly, it sounds like she's offering "maybe... possibly... one day..." to an activist "journalist" who won't take "No, Bond is a man" as an answer, but why hedge?

Why not just say "No"?

Barbara Broccoli used to answer this question clearly when she'd be asked "When oh when will James Bond finally be a woman?" As if... as if it's some rule that male characters must be made into women.

She would say "Never, James Bond is a man."

And now... well, maybe he'll be non-binary.

The Bond franchise has been getting more and more woke with every movie. I've been seeing them later and later. The last one I saw in theaters was Skyfall. I paid for Specter on video on demand; I will wait until this last one is included in something I already pay for (like Amazon prime) before seeing it, if at all.

I just don't care. This isn't James Bond.

This is Commander Gayballs. Codename Double-Ohhhh Myyyy.

I'm done with Bond. They've lost me, so they might as well pander to their #Woke audience of non-binary people and women who totally are into the male fantasy of being a kickass secret agent who seduces women and kills people without consequence.

I mean, there's so, so many such people. Every girl I've ever dated was always begging me, "Oh please oh please, let's watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service again!"

Everything woke turns to shit, as a wise non-Latino once observed.

Speaking of everything woke turning to shit: Steven Spielberg's unnecessary remake of West Side Story has bombed with a $10 million opening, below the quite modest projections of a $12-17 million opening.

Is it #Woke? Well... it's so #Woke that Spielberg decided to not use any English subtitles for all the Spanish spoken in the film, because the English subtitles would...

colonize...

the spoken Spanish.

Now that's #Woke, baby.

Oh, I mean: that's WokeX.

Spielberg's racial patronizing was so pathetic, he decided to punish and exclude anyone who's not bilingual by not including subtitles in scenes where everyone speaks Spanish.

"If I subtitled the Spanish I'd simply be doubling down on the English and giving English the power over the Spanish," the virtue-signaling Spielberg squeaked from his gerbil cage.

What does that even mean?!?!

I'll tell you what it means... It means his West Side Story remake is more homework than entertaining.

So I guess this means non-Spanish-speakers just shouldn't go see the movie at all -- they won't be able to understand the story -- and I guess a lot of them are making that exact choice.

The producers of the movie want you to know it is full-on woke and overtly political.

I've never seen the original -- is it political? Is a major idea in the original that... the American dream is a lie? Or that "gringos" kill everything they touch?

Because that's a big point in this one.

And that was at least 29 years ago (I was a fetal prodigy).

That said, I’m pretty sure the premise in the original is that in America, the tribalism of older countries is unnecessary and very deadly baggage. I don’t remember if they overcame it or if they died just like in Shakespeare’s version.

Possibly the largest "atrocity" in history was the Moghul (Muslim) conquest of India.
India was so ruined by it, for centuries, that they were easy pickin's for the East India Company and British colonization. There is a lot of thoughtful reasoning that the British colonization actually helped to resuscitate Indian culture and nationhood. But they still hate the Brits.

==========

It's not clear if No Time To Die was profitable.

$771 million is a lot of money...but not for a movie that cost about $300 million to make another $300 million (at least $200 million) to market and just sat on a shelf for a year which affected EON's balance sheet in material ways (interest payments, starting and stopping marketing at least twice, and such). All while theaters had their cut of each ticket.

I would honestly not be surprised if EON ends up losing $50 million or so on the box office returns, that it should make up rather easily through physical disc and streaming sales, though.

More franchises could be as infinitely rebootable if the producers were willing to simply recast their primary actors regularly, but they're terrified. LucasFilm could have rebooted Indiana Jones easily in the 90s with a new actor replacing Harrison Ford (possibly the plan with River Phoenix before he died), but they went the TV route instead which, ironically, tied the franchise to Harrison Ford more tightly than loosely.

87 If you put me in charge of Bond films here's what I would do:

First movie is him as a young man, in WWII being recruited to work as a Commando. Show his training and how despite being so raw and young, he's a natural who learns quickly and catches on after some really terrible mistakes. Show him on a raid where things go horribly wrong (someone leaked it to the Germans). He escapes and recovers in France with a girl whom he falls in love with, but no longer trusts anyone else.

She betrays him to the Germans but he manages to escape, make it to England, and eventually kills the guy who betrayed him and his fellow commandos. Churchill awards him and says that young fellow has a future. The future M is there and agrees, and has a proposal about building a new intelligence services after the war.

The next films are period-accurate films in order closer to Fleming's original books, set in the 50s and 60s.

90 I still say Skyfall was one of the best Bond movies of the entire franchise -- an adventure with all sorts of layers that did not detract from you enjoying it as an adventure. It would have been a dynamite movie even if it had not been about somebody named James Bond. Not only did we get a number of great action sequences, we saw Bond as a strategist as well as a tactician; a glimpse of what made him what he is; and the scripters even went back to the original Fleming material for part of his backstory and the names of his parents.

Grand stuff.

93 A *very* popular Tex-Mex chain of restaurants in and around the Houston area is "Gringo's". The signage is a rip of the classic Las Vegas sign, you know, the one with the directional arrow wrapping around the top of the sign, and in this case, pointing to the restaurant.

Very good food, at not very cheap prices, but that's not the heart of the matter. Thing is, the owner (Russel Ybarra) is a self-made zillionaire from the business, and is a MAJOR contributor to the PTSD Foundation of America's "Camp Hope" facility here in Houston. The guy absolutely bleeds Red, White & Blue, and he doesn't take an ounce of shit from the libtards. This is a business worth supporting, if you're in the area.

97 FYI, re "Romeo & Juliet"...
Yes "Troilus & Cressida" (Chaucer's original about 250 yearliet) does have some similarities, BUT the story "Romeo & Juliet" was based on a "true" early Renaissance story.

Cool fact: the Nurse reference an earthquake when Juliet was born. We know from the play, set in July, that she was born 2 August (Lammas, or Loaf Mass) and that she would be turning 14. There was a recorded earthquake on that date in the 1300s.

French playwright Edmond Rostand, who wrote "Cyrano de Bergerac," wrote a comic version in which the father are plotting to bring the kids together by pretending to forbid their relationship...
...which was the inspiration for "The Fantastiks."

112 Ian Fleming's 'Casino Royale' is one of my favorite genre novels. The thing I like most about it is Bond's transformation as the story progresses. When we first meet him, Bond is presented as brutal, even animalistic, and views women solely as recreation. Then he meets Vesper Lynd and falls in love. At one point, he admits to her that he's killed good people in the course of his career and feels badly about it but goes on because the stakes are high in the spy game and it's all he knows. We genuinely feel it when she betrays him even though she was being horribly coerced into doing so.

So much yet-to-be realized potential in the Bond character. So many good stories that could be made with him. Instead, we get this. Fleming deserves better.

114 Possibly the largest "atrocity" in history was the Moghul (Muslim) conquest of India.
India was so ruined by it, for centuries, that they were easy pickin's for the East India Company and British colonization. There is a lot of thoughtful reasoning that the British colonization actually helped to resuscitate Indian culture and nationhood. But they still hate the Brits.
Kind of written out of (or frankly not included) in most history books.

This used to be a fundamental question when shooting a movie. This used to be especially pertinent with 007.

But the Left -- the self-same who called out the Right for being preachy back in the day -- can't even allow a project out of the gate unless it checks off grievance group priorities.

Some channel was playing Star Wars movies over the weekend. It got me to thinking about how I'd seen A New Hope six times in the theater as a kid. And when it came on, I realized I hadn't seen the latest installment at all. The fun, escapist, based original cost me less than it would have to see the latest grrl power, lesbo-kiss, multi-culti tangle of plot lines just once.

The Left, in addition to ruining everything they touch, has completely lost the purpose of all those things it ruins.

Well, yes and no. There's a great deal of historical accuracy in Apocalypto.....if he had made the movie about Aztecs rather than Mayans. I don't know why he didn't just have them be Aztecs, because the story would be the same.

But it made me remember that the Spaniards were the colonists of the Indians originally. So why is Spielberg so lacking in history education is the question.

192 The original West Side Story was Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden love in the midst of stupid rivalry driven hatred. It's kind of a mixed bag. The Jerry Robbins scenes in the film are some of the best of the musicals era. But they fired him because he was taking too long shooting the film. You should definitely see it.

236 In "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" an alien race systematically replaces real human beings with alien doppelgangers in order to destroy the human race and supplant it with their own in order to colonize the earth.
Leftwing Hollywood has been diligently bodysnatching American culture with woke remakes in an effort to supplant our traditional culture with theirs - giving us gay Supermen and female Ghostbusters and the like - in order to remake America into a communist nation.
The American public has grown wise to what they are doing (if not the reason for it) and so, when a remake appears, their first gut reaction is to assume it's some kind of woke-adulterated counterfeit of the original, and will have none of it.

Nevermind that this completely stands the books on their head. The idea is that men and women access magic in different ways, and that the male way of doing it has been corrupted so that any man who tries will go crazy.

Only the Dragon Reborn can learn to do it. So a female Dragon would be just like any other woman.

And Rand Al'Thor is the Dragon Reborn, so if the series makes it anyone else, they'll need to do a complete rewrite of the source material. No way that can end badly.

No the original is just what what West Side Story was written to be. Romeo and Juliet with modern setting and conflict. Instead of Montague and Capulet it's the Jets and Sharks street gangs doing a typical territory turf war. Minimally political in that one gang is Latino and one gang is white blue collar. Pretty much the extent this is used is to put enough ethnic divide between the gangs such that they are collocated and involved in said turf war. Doesn't really get into racism of politics at all.

294 This is only a bi Bond. He doesn't actually transgender. The gimmick in the next movie is that he'll start out as Mr. Bond and then mid way through the films become Ms. Bond.

I'm so confused. I thought bi meant you liked sex w/ both boys and girls, and trans meant your sex went from boy to girl?

Yeah he was a competent conductor but I wasn't a fan of his own writing. There are few musicals I enjoy, and West Side Story was not one of them.

303 Wheel of Time plot twist - they have to drop it at some point. Correct, men use the male-half of the magic which shows up as black "weaves", and the women use the female half, which shows up as white weaves. The effects in the show are pretty cool. Anyway, I think part of Robert Jordan's tale is that men and women are at odds, at least those in power, with deadly consequences. The dragon-reborn, if he is a savior instead of the anti-christ, can bring the sexes to work together to 'break' the wheel-of-time they are otherwise stuck having to repeating over and over. Work together and break the wheel, or not and break the world again to repeat. That's what I remember anyway. YMMV.
New politics says that view (men and women working together) is problematic. Hopefully they can reconcile their woke bona-fides in the intro with something that works closer to the theme in the source material.

Kinda, there is a song wherein the mention that America is kinda better than the PR but everything costs .

Said below, just watched it again last week. Its a pretty racial immigrant bigotry preach fest. the kids run wild, bad homes (officer Krupke song) and its kind of a law of the jungle lifestyle. Couple senseless deaths later you get a morale.

It was pretty preachy. Couple good songs. A lot of "dance fighting" which Garrett would probably enjoy.

432 About the most political the old Romeo & Juliet retelling was was this:

The male Puerto Rican immigrants/gang members are pissed because shocker, trying to make it in effing New York Gross Tenement City is not much better than trying to make it back home in third world Puerto Rico. They're not any richer and they have to work just as hard for it, and they also claim that employers favor white guys and pay them more.

The female Puerto Rican immigrants/gang members' chicks hated Puerto Rico and are more free in America and also are not pregnant and barefoot.

Kinda surprised by that last bit as I type it. Guess they couldn't have all of them hating on America, I don't know. Just the guys.

I saw a Forensic Files type show years ago, where this buttoned-up, staid Texas sheriff was explaining to the interviewer that he stumbled on to a sex criminal because other local perverts knew him as a peeper who was "in to, uh, what they call, uh, 'golden showers,'" and that the MO fit the crime in question.

This guy was evidently physically disgusted by all of this, and very uncomfortable answering these questions about this suspect. Like, pulling on his collar, turning red, spitting the words out. That's how I felt explaining what furries are to my stepdaughter.

442 I actually liked "No Time to Die". Much better than what I had expected. Then again my expectations going into the film were as low the Marianas Trench, so I suspect it was hard to be disappointed.

One thing about that film that was really disturbing was the baddies genetically modified super bioweapons. Yes I know much of that tech is fiction (for now). However malevolent rogue intelligence agencies, mad scientists with no ethical or moral restraints and the peril posed by these bioweapons in the wrong hands are not fiction.

446 7 the fucking lunacy of trying to ignore that Spain was a colonizer...or rather, more accurately, conquistadors...

anyway, you see the Spanish founding fathers of most of South America were their own versions of our WASPS...being WCCS or something.
======
Not to mention that the heirs of the Conquistadors were really and truly racist. The terms "mestizo", "mulatto", "quadroon", and "octaroon" all come from south of the border, courtesy of the slave-owning, Indian-suppressing, racial pyramid of a Spanish Empire.

447 And really, who exactly wanted a remake of West Side Story? Was not the old film not a classic? Did it not have imagery, music, and songs that have stood the test of time? Did not Rita Moreno and Natalie Wood look hot? Spielberg just made it longer and added crap highlighting social issues that everybody who saw the original stage version or the old movie already knew and understood from just watching! So yeah, no one's interested.

"West Side Story was always gay and dumb, anyway."

Can't speak to theater peoples intelligence, but about 90% of the male dancers in stage and movie productions (and a good proportion of the crew and non-dancing cast) are really fun-loving fellows.

West Side Story -the original Broadway show, the 1959 revival, and the '61 movie - is a completely non-woke tragic love story with wonderful music.

451 Amusingly, if you click through and read the article, they talk about a puerto rican mural getting defaced which had something similar to 'patria es valor y sacrifica' which they ran through google translate, because they thought 'valor' meant 'value' and not courage.

Then again, they couldn't define courage anyway, so...

Posted by: Xenophon at December 13, 2021 09:58 PM (Czm5z)

452 Now I wonder; is the Spanish spoken in WSS the Puerto Rican dialect you would expect to hear in NY? Or did they use the Spanish spoken by Hispanics in CA?
And no matter what dialect they used there are subtle differences between them so that it's possible that not all Spanish speaking people will understand exactly what the dialogue is meant to convey.
It just reminded me of an old TV show in which the man being honored as Hispanic Police Officer of the year pointed out that while he was of Columbian descent, the awards dinner had a completely Mexican atmosphere.

I don't recall it as being particularly so, having seen it with my 8th-grade English class on a field trip down to London. As others have noted, it's basically Romeo & Juliet set in 1950s NYFC.
