Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | James Bond Producer: We're Going to "Modernize" James Bond Again for Today's "Evolving Male"James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli recently confirmed that future James Bond films will reinvent the character and stories for the modern world. ... The Guardian's Tara Conlan added, "She added that the next film would have to reflect the way the world has changed in the two decades since Craig was confirmed as the sixth 007 and pointed out that Bond has often been reinvented."In the last 20 years, men have become more effeminate and gay. Craig was already intended to be a "more evolved" Bond, as was Brosnan before him. What is left to evolve? How feminine do you want to make this traditionally masculine character? Oh right, and you sure did have Bond fighting terrorists a lot after 9/11. Oh wait, no you didn't. Closest you came was featuring a shady banker/investor for terrorists in Casino Royale. Then you went back to your mainstay, fighting Evil Rich White Men. Is it? You know, sometimes series take a "back to the basics" approach, too. And that usually works out well for them. And what creativity they showed! A 21st-century hero turned out to look an awful lot like Jason Bourne with a dash of Nolan's Batman, only more emotionally vulnerable. No, it wasn't. We tolerated his weepiness and longing to admit he's gay. We did not like that. Definitely do try to outrun modern men in becoming more feminine. And again, no one liked this, except you and Daniel Craig. The character has always been static in the books and all movies until this one, with the limited exception of the emotional hardening he experiences in the very first book ("The bitch is dead."). Even though OHMSS ended with Bond crying, he was back to being Bond in the next entry. (In the next book, YOLT, Bond is depressed and disinterested in his work, but when he sniffs out a chance to get vengeance on Blofeld, Bond is Back.) The most recent James Bond film, No Time to Die, grossed $759.9 million globally, which was good for fourth on the top grossing films of 2021 behind Spider-Man: No Way Home, Chang jin hu, and Ni Hao, Li Huan Ying. The movie had a reported production budget between $250 million and $300 million. However, it also racked up costs due to the fact it was delayed over a year. One report from Variety claimed the film needed to make $900 million to break even and that the movie lost around $100 million.The first and only Bond movie I have not seen since I caught the Bond bug when I was 10. I was turned off by all the woke commercials and Stronk Empowered Wimmens. And by Daniel Craig telling us he'd really like to see a Gay Bond. Glad it lost money. Though it lost money mostly due to Hollywood's lunatic overspending and the ages it spent on the shelf, paying interest to creditors, due to covid. But the wokeness did not help. And for those who doubt that when they say they want Bond to "evolve" like modern men are evolving: Here's an excerpt from the last official Bond-continuation novel. Kearse's excerpt sees Bond observing a number of guests who have also been invited to Athelstan's castle. It specifically describes a man named Roger Birkett, "Birkett was an ex-Tory MP, famous for promoting covid/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements. It was an anti-trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and he'd soon after set up the 'New Freedom Party'." It continues, "Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he'd been at any kind of function that was almost exclusively full of men. It felt strange. There was not even a pretence at diversity here. Athelstan hadn't been the least bit concerned about ensuring that half of the people he'd hired to carry out his coup should be women, or non-white, or disabled. This was an unapologetically old-school gathering. In Athelstan's world he was king and could do whatever he wanted." ![]()

I think the first novel in the series, 'Casino Royale', was the best Bond book Fleming wrote. I also think there was growth in the character in that he allowed himself to love Vesper Lynd, even though he felt betrayed by her--wrongfully, given the circumstances, but his hurt felt real. Throughout most of the book, you doubted he could be hurt emotionally, then he was. "The bitch is dead", sure, but she was also the love of his life. Before her, women had been solely recreation (Fleming's word).

Then you went back to your mainstay, fighting Evil Rich White Men.
Pierce Brosnan, I thought, was a great Bond, and the villains in his movies seemed appropriate. Only being partially snarky when I say "Tomorrow Never Dies" was excellent, and showed how huge, multinational media conglomerates are unaccountable, evil, and ridiculously powerful. Seems like a pretty based villain to my conservative eyes. And governments look pretty corrupt and untrustworthy in the Brosnan films, too, as I recall. Craig, however, sucks as Bond. I'm not a lady, but I can't imagine any woman thinks he looks sexier than Brosnan, let alone all the woke, beta, soy action and plot lines in his films.

Ace, glad to know you became a Bond fan as a boy, as I did. My mother bought all the Signet paperbacks. One night when I was about nine, she handed me Doctor No, open to the centipede scene, and said, "Read this."
I did and was hooked. When I tried to read on, she snatched it back from me with some comment about "When you're older." So I sneaked the paperbacks and read the action scenes. The long one in Doctor No is an utter classic. As an older teen I came back and read the books in their entirety, and got new things out of them.

Posted by: BeckoningChasm at October 25, 2023 *** As good as Casino Royale was (with Craig, I mean), Skyfall was even better. Long, yes, but never dull. And we get M quoting Wordsworth, a villain who is as hard to kill as a rat, a glimpse of the boyhood that molded Bond, and proof that he is a strategist as well as a tactician.

Thinking of the most recent Disney drek with female girl boss leads, we go one of two ways:
The Rey Palpatine route, where the character is a flawless Mary Sue that is already powerful, perfect, everyone likes her, and she doesn't need to develop, people just need to recognize her awesomeness and get out of the way, or The new female replacing Indiana Jones....Helena Shaw or something? It's the inverse of the scene in "As Good as it Gets": Receptionist: How do you write women so well? Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability. Here, modern women write a man they'd be attracted to: powerful, rich, handsome, popular, plenty of ladies...then they give him a vagina.

Dad can't easily channel surf anymore so the TV for his entertainment is on INSP. They run old westerns that are no doubt super cheap royalties due to being over 50 years old. It is kind of fun seeing character actors appear in a number of the series shot in that era and they didn't feel the need to attack family and Americana back then, and similarly with the old movies they show.

Moistened bints who marry Bond franchise producers and then take over after he dies from old age is no basis for a system of producing beloved movies. Studio executive supreme power derives from a mandate from the masses in boffo box office, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Why is James Bond still around anymore? I like most of the old-school Bond films, though they do get pretty campy at times...

Drive: "Supposedly there is an Edge of Tomorrow sequel in the works. Expect this one to be more girl powery."
Which is fine because the co-star was established as heroic de novo. They aren't redefining the male, just, presumably, enhancing the role of the female. That's the proper template.

Posted by: runner at October 25, 2023 05:28 PM (hht4k) I think the Turks have the second largest army of any NATO member. NATO will not cut them loose lest they look even more pathetic than they are.

My first test for anyone playing Bond is whether or not they can project the license to kill. Are they sufficiently predatory that they could kill at any time necessary? In some ways, Craig was a more thuggish Bond and better at portraying a killer in their majesty’s service than most.

Dear Whoever Owns the Bond Franchise;
You are a Hog farmer; you are in the Pork business; Hams, Bacon, Ribs, Pickled Pigs Feet and Hocks. This is what has made your predecessors richer than Midas, cranking out year after year of good tasty bacon and lard. You are not painting the Sistine Chapel, you aren't going to be enriched by "reimagining" the Mona Lisa. Just find another Craig, Connery, Moore or Brosnan, make another flick like your daddy did and find a bank large enough to hold the cash. Posted by: WALTER A ADAMS at October 26, 2023 08:02 AM (7mBVz) 447
>sometimes series take a "back to the basics" approach, too. And that usually works out well for them.
Since the black and white beginning of Casino Royale I've thought the best thing the Bond series could do is go back to the Cold War and do hard-as-nails assassination spy drama. Bond is absolutely a relic of a different time. That's a strength. Run with it. It's working for the Yellowstone franchise.
