James Bond Producer: We're Going to "Modernize" James Bond Again for Today's "Evolving Male"

So a tranny then?

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?

Broccoli went on to justify why she believes the character needs to be reinvented for the modern era pointing to Pierce Brosnan's GoldenEye film as well as the recently concluded Daniel Craig era.

As for GoldenEye, she said, "I go back to GoldenEye when everyone was saying 'the cold war is over, the wall is over, Bond is dead, no need for Bond, the whole world's at peace and now there's no villains' -- and boy was that wrong!"

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.

Conlan also added that Broccoli informed her "that modernisation is necessary whenever a new actor plays the part."

Is it?

You know, sometimes series take a "back to the basics" approach, too. And that usually works out well for them.

Conlan also added that Broccoli informed her "that modernisation is necessary whenever a new actor plays the part."

To that point she discussed Craig's era of James Bond noting she and other Bond producers "wanted to focus on what a 21st-century hero would look like."

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.

"Daniel gave us the ability to mine the emotional life of the character ... and also the world was ready for it," Broccoli said.

No, it wasn't. We tolerated his weepiness and longing to admit he's gay. We did not like that.

She informed the outlet, "It's an evolution. Bond is evolving just as men are evolving. I don't know who's evolving at a faster pace."

Definitely do try to outrun modern men in becoming more feminine.

She had also already posited the idea that Craig's Bond figured out the emotional arc of Bond saying, "The films over his tenure were the first time we really connected the emotional arc."

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."

Now, in fairness, I think that EON, which owns the film rights, does not own any of the publishing rights. But I bet you they talk! They each depend on the other to protect and extend the value of the Bond franchise.

Boy I sure hope that 4chan doesn't start an op to pressure EON to make Bond an evolved Transgender Man. I sure hope no one puts EON in the difficult position of having to make Bond gay or trans or anger the Alphabet Squad.
