Just before Christmas, British actor Dominic West stirred James Bond fans by exclaiming that it was time for a transgender actor to be chosen to star as the next 007 and trans actors have grabbed onto this idea with gusto
The University of Oklahoma recently introduced a feminist course that focuses entirely on James Bond.
Actor Dominic West insisted in a recent interview with the Sunday Times that the next James Bond movie should star a transgender actor in the role of the famed master spy 007.
Actors Idris Elba sounded off in a recent interview, saying that an actor doesn’t necessarily have to be gay to play a gay character.
Actress Rachel Weisz has thrown cold water on the idea of a woman stepping into the role of iconic British spy James Bond in future installments of the long-running film series, explaining in an interview that women deserve to have original stories and characters created specifically for them.
British actor Idris Elba has suggested that the next person to play James Bond ‘could be a black woman’ amid fan-driven speculation that he should be considered for the famed role.
James Bond should be played by a woman, Theresa May has said, hailing the new female Doctor Who as a victory for “girl power”.
Roger Moore, the suavely insouciant star of seven James Bond films, has died in Switzerland. He was 89.
Everyone knows that Ian Fleming got the name of his hero from a book he had on the shelves of his home in Jamaica: Birds of the West Indies by James Bond.
The next James Bond should be a lesbian, says the Guardian. (Which, perhaps not uncoincidentally, has just posted its largest-ever losses).
In the wake of tragic mass shootings or terrorist attacks like the one perpetrated Sunday morning in Orlando, Hollywood celebrities are often the first to call for gun control measures. Yet Hollywood conveniently forgets that the movie business is itself at least partly — and probably largely — responsible for the glorification of gun use in American culture.
It took the combination of James Bond and Charlie Brown to save the box office after a disastrous few weekends of flops. Both “Spectre” and “The Peanuts Movie” reinvigorated moviegoers who turned out in droves to check out the new fare, including buzzy limited-release titles like “Spotlight.”
There is nothing like the anticipation of a new James Bond film. For 53 years and 24 films, Eon Productions has offered the only consistent cultural touchstone that has lasted throughout my lifetime. I’m only a few years younger than the franchise, and the promise has always been kept: “James Bond Will Return.”
James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore has again waded into public controversy by insisting that 007 could never be portrayed as a gay man – or be played by a woman – on the simple basis that “wasn’t what Ian Fleming wrote”.
In a new interview, actor Daniel Craig shuts down any contention that James Bond is anything but a one-dimensional misogynist.
Daniel Craig just finished a grueling, injury-plagued eight-month-long shoot on Spectre, the actor’s fourth outing as secret agent James Bond – so perhaps he could be forgiven for suggesting that he would rather kill himself than star in another 007 movie.
The final trailer for the new 007 film Spectre was released online Friday.
Former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan is just as in-the-dark as anyone else when it comes to predicting who will take over the role of iconic British secret agent James Bond when Daniel Craig hangs up the tux.
The actor who plays a character that is generally on the right side of the ruse might have been deceived out of a large sum of money. Two months ago, James Bond actor Daniel Craig gave nearly $50 thousand to a super
Fresh off an apology for describing black actor Idris Elba as “too street” to play James Bond, franchise author Anthony Horowitz announced this week how he intends to slowly drag the fictional British spy into the 21st Century’s cultural cesspool.
On Wednesday, new James Bond author Anthony Horowitz told The Daily Mail (UK) that he didn’t think Idris Elba, star of Luther and The Wire, would be a good fit for Bond.
The next James Bond definitely has to be black and he definitely has to be played by Idris Elba (The Wire; Luther). Anyone who thinks to diverge even slightly from this now officially accepted view, to be held by everyone everywhere
In today’s sensitive political landscape, Daniel Craig’s James Bond has thrived as a beta male. While Craig hopes to leave the role less “misogynistic,” Idris Elba, a fan favorite to succeed as the first black 007, is “too street” to play the character, according to franchise author Anthony Horowitz.
The world will soon meet the first mainstream black James Bond, but the man portraying 007 will not be actor Idris Elba, who has long been rumored as a possible candidate for the role.
The first extended trailer for James Bond’s next outing hit the Internet on Wednesday.
