Topic	Producers are 'leaning toward' Idris Elba as the next James Bond
Southernfatman 08/10/18 2:51:39 PM #148:	KamenRiderBlade posted... So are many others including myself. But "In Universe" how do you explain James Bond being alive and young for so long and looking different due to being portrayed by different actors? The only logical explanation IMO is that "007: James Bond" is a identity assumed by those who agents who make it to the ### agent level and assumes that persona for the sake of their cover. As time moves on, the title and history is passed on to the new agent who takes over due to death of the previous agent or retirement of the previous agent. That's the only logic I can come up with on short notice that would connect every single James Bond film together properly and connect Idris Alba as the new James Bond. I just don't think about it that much. It's like comic books with their sliding timelines. Batman isn't an old man either. I'd actually rather they not do a race swap, but if the actor is good enough it's not a deal breaker. I'm more worried about them actually making a good JB movie at this point. I just never liked the code name theory. James Bond was written as one person. Yes, the movies are different, but a lot of Ian Fleming's ideas are still there in the series. I don't see why it's so bad to stick with the original character. I don't feel the James Bond movie formula needs to be changed to draw in more interest. They just need to make a good movie. I also didn't like the idea of rebooting JB either. There was no need to. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:906638904] in Producers ...
