'Bond 23' Finds Its Moneypenny & Villains

[AhealthyoverdoseofGS]

What is the reasoning behind Moneypenny being black? She's always been white, in all the movies and in the books. I was fine with Felix because he was never a defined character in any of the books, but are they going too far away now from Bond canonical?

[9luckycharm111]

@AhealthyoverdoseofGS

skin does not matter, it is the actor. Plus, she is pretty good looking.

[67Zaka]

Man, that new Bond girl is HOT.

[LegitBenDustman]

Total dead eyes, she scurred me

[flaperise]

What about John Cleese who played R (Q) in the last few pierce brosnan films, he only had very small minor roles but what better actor to replace the previous Q. ? Walking disaster once again starring daniel craig.

[amazingcrissangel]

@flaperise i wouldn't exactly say a "walking disaster" he's a perrttyy dope actor nd a good bond actor at that.... JS

[amazingcrissangel]

WHAT ABOUT Q??????

[thebuckrogers22]

@amazingcrissangel some 31 yr old is playing him i read

[TheDukeOfCastleWolf]

The group "The Asteroids Galaxy Tour" has a good song called "Push The Envelope" That should be the next Bond song main theme. It's sounds really perfect for the upcoming movie of the 007!!!

[TheDukeOfCastleWolf]

The villain will be Javier Bardem the spanish actor.

[MyAbcd12345678]

she pronounces Ralph's name wrong, it's not Ralph, it's pronounced Rafe

[HelmutVillam]

Apparently it's going to be named 'Skyfall'

[TheDukeOfCastleWolf]

@HelmutVillam That's pretty sure mate!

[Nobertify]

I'm looking foward to seeing Ralph Fiennes as the main villian, but I want Miss Moneypenny and Q to come back more

[Suport7000]

Q needs to be in this!

[mrfrisk007]

For gods sake, pronounce Ralph Fiennes properly

[MsNoisyNinja]

I'm sorry, did she say "Ralph" as in Lauren?

[noobnoob121]

They should some how get all the past bonds in there as different characters 

[ElectroWOWofficial]

Roger Moore

[gamer46ful]

Javier Bardem is just awesome! I loved seeing him as the villain in No Country For Old Men, there is no doubt he is going to screw this movie up. Also it has a great director, this movie shall not fail!

[9luckycharm111]

daniel craig is bond in bond 23, and Moneypenny is gonna be in it! she wasn't in Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace

[hapakomik]

I hope they have Q in this one

[burtha3]

Whatever they do, it can't be much worse than Quantum of Solace. I'm looking forward to this one. I think Sam Mendez will do a great job. Mark Forster needs shooting for tainting the Bond series so badly.

[Th3R4g3Qu1t]

If they don't have Javier Bardem flip a coin in this movie I will be quite disappointed.

[libertysunbeam2]

doesnt matter, as long as bond still drops the original john barry score that made sean connery's and moores films great, bond is still going to suck. bond movies have become five time re-heated pizza hut pizza. gaggy goodness of something that used to be great.

[Praetorianasp9mm]

I feel that we are getting away from the essence of the characters. It has nothing to do with the 21 century. Read the books.

[andyslaybids]

DANIEL CRAIG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fearoftuna]

i think she'd make a good moneypenny, it doesn't matter that she's black - WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY, it just makes it more realistic and she's a good actress! She played Tia Dalma for god sake xD

[jiyefuuu]

@Fearoftuna i'm not racist, lots of black ppl are very nice but it DOES matter shes black!! how can moneypenny be black.. i dont mind the other bond girls being black

[Zerojquan]

Ralph Fiennes better be a villain..

[58fenix]

@Zerojquan Yeah I agree

Bond 23 Confirmed facts and Rumors video!

/watch?v=fCrKv17sKLM

[RaikenXion]

Its funny but Ive always saw Ralph Fiennes as bieng born 2 play James Bond, I always thought he deserved a shot lol. And I really cant c Naomie Harris as moneypenny, as a bond girl yes but shes too young 2 play moneypenny lol.

[RevRai]

Ralph Fiennes? NYEEEHEEHEEEE

[cscentrlTV]

Clever Movies have really untrained announcers. These girls have made many errors in pronunciation, information & presentation. Isn't "Rafe" Fiennes instead of "Ralph" even though it's spelled like that?. Get your facts right before you speak!

[58fenix]

@chocalatewarriors we dont know that yet

[fg41395]

Bond vs. Voldemort...this should be interesting

[TheRomanBond007]

They need a German villan. I'm tired of Russians and Asian baddies.

[rishonsaeroon]

a Black Miss MoneyPenny Why why Lets make Bond Black in white Tuxido haha!!

I Wanna seee Bond James Bond Number 23

I dont hate Black People Dont hate me!!!!

[58fenix]

@rishonsaeroon yes you do why would you even say that.

[rishonsaeroon]

@58fenix Miss MoneyPenny was White so im a big bond fan my family is born in Suriname so!!!!

Idont hate BLACK people... they need to stick to his Origin of the story Where is Q if you need Him...?

[58fenix]

@rishonsaeroon First of all I'm a bigger bond fan than you and you are a racist.

Maybe you dont know it but you are.I have seen pictures of her and she looks

like a charming person.Monneypenny is a very charming person with a wide

personalty.She has that,so she will work.Black people need to stick with there

own origins.Thats something a racist would say,and you are.

[rishonsaeroon]

@rishonsaeroon i didn't say she is ugly or what se looks beautifull!!!!!

[RaikenXion]

@rishonsaeroon I dont even think it matters that shes black. Sorry but if u saying stick 2 the origin of the story, wot about M being played as a woman later on in the series?? Or Bond going more lighter and camp with Roger Moore's portrayal of the character??

[Looneylinens]

Who cares if they're black, it's not even a big deal anymore. MUSLIMS however...

[ArrowEraproductions]

It will be interesting to see how Craig will do with more classic Bond elements. He will definitely have to turn down the dark, hard ass Bond.

[58fenix]

@ArrowEraproductions you think so

[love102692]

BRING PIERCE BROSNAN BACK!!!!!!

[kcran5671]

How about Morgan Freeman as Bond?

[kcran5671]

Why not just make everybody black? Then will you be happy? Probably not, it still wouldnt be enough for you.

Every character in every movie will be black.

Black Luke Skywalker...Black Han Solo...Black Rocky...black Captain Kirk...black Indiana Jones...black black black are you happy yet?

[simmitz]

@kcran5671 It's 2011. There's black people. Get over it.  What are you afraid of?

[kcran5671]

They already have a black version of Bond...Felix Leiter

[SupaBriMan26]

@kcran5671 Atleast that Felix Leiter is the same in too movies. Jeffrey Wright, and he's awesome at it.

[simmitz]

@SupaBriMan26 I love Wright as Felix.

[kcran5671]

I would have liked to see Kevin Spacey go against Bond in a spy vs spy thing, maybe Spacey being an older more experienced spy to give Bond a formidable foe. But looks like its Badiem now. Bardiem seems too much like a thug, Spacey would be smarter against Bond.

THERES GONNA BE GADGETS IN THIS ONE, GOOD AND BAD GUYS WILL USE THEM.

RALPH IS Q.

[theworldisnotneough1]

Kind of disappointing, I miss the old James Bond movies. They have to work really hard to impress the hardcore James Bond fans.

[TheMestizoguy]

Finally god dam it was everyones reaction no doubt

[AshitaNoKanousei42]

Coolness. FYI, it's spelled "Ralph," but it's pronounced "Rayf" because they wanted to be difficult; like Colin Powell's parents.

[FightsRightsAlways]

yes, i hear what a lot of people are saying but come on people it's 2011 and it won't kill any of you to see a black women with james bond.if it does,then here is a very simple answer to your situation-don't see it,no one is forcing you.

[AJKombat]

Is Danial Craig in it?

[harrycarlitos91]

@AJKombat yes

[campbellsoup93]

Im gonna sound racist here, and i'm sorry.But Moneypenny can not be black. Now if they had changed M or Q into a different race that would be fine. Since those names are not their real names.They are just codenames and can be given to anyone in that position Moneypenny is the actual name of the character.And while i know that they have changed the actress who plays her many times it has always been the same character.They can not change the race of moneypenny and have her be the same character.

[harrycarlitos91]

@campbellsoup93 you know you sound kinda dumb, since felix leiter is a caucasian texan, and in casino royale hes black. It worked out just fine.

[gangstaleprecaun300]

And Idk if any fuckers see this as racist, its a general point of view. Deal with it. She does not fit the role, should've been Christine Hendricks

[gangstaleprecaun300]

All the previous money pennies have been white, why break the stereotype, cast her as a bond girl instead. And when the fucking hell has Ralph Feinnes not played a dark and complex character, just stop making bond movies they died when Daniel Craig got involved......peak

[factualclass]

I like the new cast, I just wish they pick another bond



[MightyDancer80]

The cast for Bond 23 is fantastic and excellent. I can't wait for Bond 23.

[LIFEWITHEUGENE]

Im very excited about the new Bond movie. Hopefully the theme song wont suck on this one like in Quantum. And about the race situation as long as they keep Bond the way he always is everyone else wont matter.

[maer06]

PIERCE BROSNAN!!!!!!!

[TheRomanBond007]

@maer06 Let's bring him back!

[abey3008]

I can't hear shit............!!!!!!!!!

[TheMrUsual]

She was Brilliant in Pirates!

[Archaeosix]

Anton Chigurh is going to be the next Bond villain?? Sweet!

Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"

Chigurh: "No, I expect you to call it."

[markit39]

fantastic piece of casting on these three.......quality

[TheScarletPimpaDale]

who ever does the casting for the nu bond movies should be shot!! wtf!!! your destroying everything good about it!! 1st a blue eyed blond with no gadgets that's not james bond thats a man from uncle!!! moneypenny a beautiful young black woman! moneypenny has always been a middle aged white woman witch bond flirts with giving off the message you dont have to be young to be attractive!! plus Danial Craig is a worse bond than that aussie bloke no1 can remember!!

[MrEvil37]

@TheScarletPimpaDale Dude, seriously, you need to embrace change. Daniel Craig is my favourite Bond because he brought something new to the role which hadn't been done before. I love the new films because they are far more realistic and believable. Who says that Bond can't be blue eyed and blonde? Who says that Moneypenny can't be black? You? Well, I'm glad you are not in charge of producing the Bond films.

[SirTimothyMarton]

Ralph should be the villian in my eyes Im not aying cause of HP (Which I love XD) but honestly in 2005 I wouldve said he wouldve been a good James Bond better than Craig anyway anyones better than Craig as Bond XD

I hope the role will do justice to Ralph hes a brilliant actor

[SINATRA303]

Ralph Fiennes is awesome, forget the shitty Harry Potter movies, I'm talking In Bruges and his roles in Schindlers List, Constant Gardener, The English Patient, Quiz Show etc. He's a great actor

[SirTimothyMarton]

@SINATRA303 He is a Brilliant actor but aside from the movies of HP which are quite good his portrayal of the villian Voldemort was outstanding

[PTVATLTM]

Yeah, bonds need some kick ass Asian women. It goes from white to black, to Spanish.

[MrElkiller1]

:oportal:

[theguy782]

what the fuck? im no prejudice dick but money penny is white! its been like that for nearly 50 years! what next mexican conan the barbarian and white blade??? i mean wtf like seriously they need to think about this shit because it doesnt make a lot of sense. she'd be a PERFECT lead bond girl!!! why the hell is she cast as money penny!!!

[JavierCarrascoMD]

@theguy782 calm down. I'm a bond fan myself. I love 007 but to be honest with you...I was expecting this, had a feeling, times change, I think anyone can be bond regardless of color and same thing with any other leading character.

[Linklex7]

@JavierCarrascoMD I agree with you. I wouldn't worry about everyone getting upset. These were the same people who flipped out when they made M into a woman.

[JavierCarrascoMD]

@Linklex7 cant wait for 2012 I love 007 !!

[Edge111189]

@JavierCarrascoMD I agree 100%. I'm very curious to as well that there will be a African-American Bond in the near future. Of Course after Craig fininshes his contract.

[JavierCarrascoMD]

@Edge111189 I agree. Times change and so does Bond and everyone else part of the Bond world. People need to stop using the race card and deal with it. I can tell we have a bunch of racist folks in other comments below. 2012 =BEST YEAR EVER, for BOND. *Lets hope we can live longer than the supposed end of the world in 2012 ;)~!

[harrycarlitos91]

@Edge111189 Im not against changing the race on some characters, but not James Bond. That would kill the franchise. Ive read all of flemings books, the short stories, watched all the movies, own most of the games. Im ok with black felix and black moneypenny, and even woman M and nerdy Bill Tanner, but James Bond will NOT be black. If he is, theyll kill the franchise.

[Edge111189]

@harrycarlitos91 Ironicly i agree to a point with you, im just backing up a friend on his opinion since he well is black xD. But honestly I can go either way. Just hope they make the next movies with more story and action like Mi3 and soon to be Mi4. Just have to wait and see. :)

[kane4life4ever]

i dont get it why is monney penny black, and why couldnt she be asian or south asian, or even mexican, why are recasts always white to black WTF

[darklighter1]

@kane4life4ever Hmmmm good point...never really noticed that before but I think you're right.

[wallflmas]

gerat cast so far but whos the bond 

[Mr100people]

i dont know how i feel about this...

[Pena1003]

HOLY SHIT Voldemort is in Bond!

[scott2scox666]

ralph fiennes is duuuuurty

[linkuei83]

Hope it's better QoS, really needs something to top off CR, but i got hopes that they learned and Craig will deliver.

[CarlCoxTwin]

nice a black moneypenny w sizzle interesting! who is the bond girl??

[GGBK28]

Javier Bardem as the villain started off as a rumor. This James Bond sounds cool already.

[101ChrisTube]

She was awesome in dead mans chest

[Cchandla]

y coudn't she be the bond girl??? arrrrrrg

[rocketman7911]

Is Daniel Craig still playing bind that is my question.

[kpdrrn32]

I've got no complaints about the cast that's been added and I'm sure it'll be a really good movie...But one day I'd really like to see an awesome female villain. It'd make it interesting, in my opinion.

[kemuael]

am a big bond fan and with the casting am impressed this probably will be a really good movie

not liking the name though "bond 23" o_O all james bond title are exotic and unique

what happened ? lol

[Spyke360]

@kemuael Bond 23 is the working title. They have all had similar working titles.

[kemuael]

@Spyke360 so its not the final title for it ?

[Spyke360]

@kemuael No. Its a working title as they haven't come up for the name or they are keeping it a secret.

[kemuael]

@Spyke360 well thats a relief

[nbafanboi23]

@kemuael obviously the name isn't made yet

[kemuael]

@nbafanboi23 ok thats a relief lol cause if that was the name i would be pretty upset lol

[KAZEEMA91]

JASON STATHAM NEXT JAMES BOND

[MrRynRules]

i wonder what the james bond movie would be like if christopher nolan directed it.... either way i would watch it....

[senyum0]

i dun much care about other characters. jus ast long as daniel craig and judy dench is on the next bond im ok

[SN1PERMAN84PAYBACK]

[AOmonsta]

Awesome. Daniel Craig has brought new life to the Bond series. Can't wait for the new movie.

[EnassiClothing]

[tolentino630]

9th!!!

[thefranticle]

wtf is moneypenny black for first felix then moneypenny soon bond will be black not that there is anything wrong with black people u see these characters r british they are not african

[TsugaruClan]

@thefranticle First, if there's nothing wrong with black people, then why are you complaining? Are you going to start your next post with, "I'm not racist, but..." Are you aware that "British" is a nationality, not a race? There are black British people, and Naomie Harris is one of them. She's British, not African.

[thefranticle]

@TsugaruClan just sayin the characters r white

[TsugaruClan]

@thefranticle But they're fictional characters. I personally don't see a problem with casting actors of different races. It's the character that's important, not the race of the actor or the actress. Are there any roles in your opinion that it's OK for minority actors to play?

[thefranticle]

@TsugaruClan honestly u should understand where I'm coming from omg imagine if they had changed harry potter to a black person for the final 2 movies

[Nintend0Nerd1000]
