Very strong "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" vibes from this article. One actress 50 years ago is hardly progress.
Rather than trying to redeem/rewrite 007, why not spin off a new character instead. Might take some effort and skilled writing, but Amazon have money right?
Not to mention all the actual racism, misogyny, and the rape.
I appreciate the Bond series as legend, but my partner and I couldn't face any more movies portraying the same icky encounters as in ~~the first Casino Royale~~ Dr. No. We just felt incredibly uncomfortable for the woman being taken advantage of by Bond, in a beach hut
We loved the Daniel Craig films, though. Suitably modern.
The first Casino Royale is a parody starring David Niven. As I recall they specifically call that out to some extent.
Ah sorry, I must be thinking of Dr No then. It had a scene in a beach hut. Thanks!
And both feature Ursula Andress as I recall
