Who among us is excited that the new James Bond film
Skyfall is going to be released in movie theaters. There were fears that the James Bond series---22 Official films + 1 Unofficial film which rarely gets counted (
Never Say Never Again) +
Skyfall=24 James Bond Films grand total---Was going to be canceled 100% forever. MGM/UA was going bankrupt forever and that bankrupt company was obsessed with taking the James Bond series into the graveyard with it. Enter courtroom battles and corporate boardroom negotiations and James Bond got a stay of execution. Now Daniel Craig is back as James Bond for his third film as the sixth incarnation of British Secret Service Agent 007. The commitment phobic, gambling addict, alcoholic (Martini shaken, not stirred), sexist pig with a license to kill genocidal maniac world domination obsessed terrorism supporting villains (And done so often) is back in active duty and ready to serve her Majisty's Secret Service. This time the revolving door girlfriend du jour is Caucasian French born actress
Bérénice Marlohe (playing the evil feme fatal working for terrorism) and African-British actress Naomie Harris either playing the fourth incarnation of Miss Moneypenny (The only girlfriend that James Bond never got rid of) or as a new character named Eve. Or perhaps Miss Moneypenny and Eve are supposed to be the same person. I'm not sure how Barbara Broccoli and her half brother Michael G. Wilson (They have the same mother, but different fathers. Dana Broccoli (maiden name Natol) produced Michael Wilson with former Batman film series actor Lewis Wilson and produced Barbara Broccoli with former unquestioned leader of the James Bond film series Albert Broccoli. When Albert Broccoli died and wanting to keep it in the family, both Barbara Broccoli and her half brother Michael Wilson took over the James Bond series as equals) is going to work out what exactly is Naomie Harris's role in the series. Is the originally Caucasion Miss Moneypenny suddenly became African-British? I guess we'll find out.
As I drive my Aston Martin (Relax, there's no way I can afford to purchase such an expensive car), here are some photos of current James Bond series actress
Bérénice Marlohe.
