VENOM Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Nothing he said included Idris Elba, this is race baiting by the daily fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Edgar Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Could a white man play Shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thizz Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 But Shaft is literally an actual person albeit fictional. James Bond is just the code name for the agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 007 is the code name, Bond is his actual name its part of Shaft's character to be black, it wouldn't be a blaxploitation film if he was white - its not the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambino Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Iam Flemming wrote the books, Ian Flemming hired an artist to draw Bond as he envisioned him to look, and that vision was a White male. Therefore in that 007 world Bond is white. Shaft is a fictional character, BA Baracus is a fictional character, Bond is a fictional character. Leave them all alone with their respective skin colours IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 didn't Daniel Craig have blonde hair in Casino Royale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambino Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm sure not every Bond to date has shared the same colour hair tone. Some were probably a little more tanned than others too aye. The world ain't gonna end if Idris was picked to play him. I thought Daniel Craig was gonna be a weird choice when they made the new movies but I enjoyed them. Idris might do a good job but given the choice prior to any decisions being made I would not want to change Bonds ethnicity. I couldn't sit watching the A-Team with some muscular white dude running around shouting "I ain't gettin on no plane fool" without thinking it was a pisstake that a person with brown skin wasn't playing him.
