Finally we have the trailer for Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film! Gotta say as a big fan of his YouTube series, this looks like everything I want out of a movie in this universe!

Euronews Culture can officially end all speculation by revealing that the identity of the new James Bond is… Irish actress and singer Jessie Buckley.

Please bear in mind what day it is… :wink:

The rest of that article is really good btw :rofl:

More casting news was also revealed, with Tom Hiddleston playing the franchise’s first Bond boy - named Fitty McCrotch – and the new M is set to be portrayed by none other than Gillian Anderson. Both frankly inspired choices.

An Amazon spokesperson told Euronews Culture: “We’re distancing ourselves from the previous stance held by franchise head Barbara Broccoli, who said that Bond should only be played by a man. We’re thrilled to have Jessie Buckley on board. Additionally, her initials are also ‘JB’, so that’s delightful. Plus, her singing background makes her the ideal candidate for the project, as we’ve been thinking of adding some musical numbers into the mix.”

[…] So, we’ve decided to opt for a radical new interpretation, one which will doubtlessly spark discussion."

"And by discussion, we mean rile up countless misogynists whose fragile egos and warped sense of masculinity will be assaulted by this news of a fictional spy being played by a woman,” they clarified.

Could easily be true though.
I’ve read James could also be a woman’s name

This couldn’t have happened to a bigger dickhead that is why, unfortunately, it says “Jonathan Majors” and not “Matt Walsh” or “Ben Shapiro” in the headline.

80s born people will know this - that time there was a action figure and cartoon series of this franchise. He Man, Skeletor, Ram Man, Beast Man, Leech, Manteena, Tella etc etc. I have around 5 action figure collect kept with my G I Joe collection. Those were the days - good to see a movie coming this year - it’s nostalgic.

I know this is just some old guy “get off my lawn” thing on my part, but can we please stop with these titles? “Godzilla Minus Zero”? That’s just “Godzilla”. I hate it.

Old guy pointless and unwarranted issue over.

There’s a deeper meaning to the titles. We don’t know what this one’s is yet, but the guy who made Minus One isn’t going to stumble over it.

I’m sure the story will be great and I trust that the people in charge know what they’re doing, but “minus zero”? Ugh.

Just like Minus One, it means something. It just hasn’t been revealed yet.

It means someone at Toho doesn’t know maths.

I dont care what they call it, as long as it is nearly as good as Minus One.

Titles have no impact on the product. It doesn’t matter if it’s called Minus Zero or Godzilla and Kong makes a porno.

I don’t think that’s correct. Titles can matter if they keep people from seeing a film. There are numerous films I have never watched because I thought the title was terrible or the cover art on the VHS tape was bad or I disliked one particular actor. People avoid movies for a lot of really (admittedly) dumb reasons, including bad titles.
