The role of James Bond is probably only men who have a British citizen or one who belongs to the Commonwealth. An internal memo in the Amazon studio is said to have set this.
The “Bond Spirit” must remain
In this regard, “Daily Mail” quoted: “’Amazon’ strives to keep the spirit of ‘Bond’ alive. And that means that he has to be British or from the Commonwealth – and it has to be male. “
However, the quote is a suspected, internal, memo and not an official announcement. A statement that is intended for the public is still pending.
But who has been James Bond so far?
So far, six men played the iconic role of the 007 agent. Five of them were born in Great Britain and grew up there. One, George Lazenby, was born in Australia and grew up there. However, he moved to London and worked there as a model. He was supposed to be dressed as Sean Connery as James Bond and with his haircut.
The thing with Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig was the first James Bond to have no brunette hair. Which was initially reason enough to reject in the media. However, he received public support from several former bonds and former bond base. And when “Casino Royale” came to the cinemas, Daniel Craig was ultimately enthusiastically accepted as James Bond. In the next 007 adventure, however, he will no longer be seen as a main character.
What happened before
Anyway: The takeover of the MGM Studios by Amazon and an additional deal about the bond rights recently changed everything for the agent film series. The Saga’s long -time developers kicked off. Since then it has been around in the spy headquarters.
But ex-producer Barbara Broccoli is said to have insisted that Bond remains British before she agreed to sell the corresponding rights to Amazon. The purchase price is said to have 770 million pounds. After the transaction, there had been violent friction and comments by the long -standing creative team.
Fans and insiders had repeatedly complained about the Amazon Studios efforts to develop spin-off models. Among them one that focuses on the early days of 007S secretary Miss Moneypenny. A kind of youthful side narrative under the roof of the MI6 secret service center. So far there have been 25 bond films, starting with “Dr. No “from 1962.
Nevertheless, the search for a new bond continues. In conversation with fans: Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Ryan Gosling and Chris Hemsworth.
