The choice of director has me interested as he was the director of S1 of True Detective.
@Rancid-Schnitzel There appears to be 5 writers including Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

Well I suppose if you're going to turn 007 into a woman then she's your man.

Yep, she’s clearly been tasked with punching up the humour and making sure the woman are well written.
Sensible to avoid easy targets for the woke brigade.
Not a fan of prejudging a movie based knee jerk reactions to casting and who’s writing part of a script.
In theory, after the last movie, having Bond retired is a good idea. It’s clever to have 007 as a black woman to swot away that casting pressure, as long as Bond ends up back in that designation at the end of the movie.
Let’s them pick who they want for the next one.
If it’s a soft attempt at completely rewriting the character then Bond movies will probably not be very successful from here on.
If the character is successful they could even have spin off movies. Can see why they are doing it.

Idris Elba
Too much of a TV actor. I find him dull on the big screen. Chiwetel Ejiofor might be a better choice.
If they really want to get radical with representation, then they could embrace the unthinkable and cast an unreconstructed London Aussie in the role.

Reckon Tem or Cliff might make a good fist of it.
"Churrrrr lady, you're looking miiiiighty fine"As if any of those two have the range to play anything other than Māori fullas. I’ve certainly never seen it. In any movie. Ever.

And Blow.
I skipped that as I figured Hispanic/Latino was covered by Training Day, but I'm guessing he played a Colombian, rather than a Mexican? His range is unreal.
He played Pablo Escobar. Three Kings is such a good movie.
Cliff Curtis can act. If I was choosing a Kiwi Bond I'd probably go for Karl Urban.

If the character is successful they could even have spin off movies. Can see why they are doing it.They could avoid the outrage by simply staying true to cannon and having her introduced as 0012 or something. If the character is well written you've created your own spin off.
Or this could all be to ensure they're building awareness of/ interest in the next iteration of the Bond series by utilising the woke brigade outrage.

@MN5 sounds like you missed Training Day and Three Kings.
Nope but I’m concerned about what you missed in my post
I haven't rifled through your post in ages. Tax return?
