Danny Boyle to make a feminist James Bond

  Danny Boyle has confirmed that he'll be directing the next James Bond film which will be the last instalment with Daniel Craig as 007.
  
  
   
  Danny announced that he and John Hodge, who scripted Trainspotting, were working on a screenplay for Bond 25 which promises to modernise the franchise. Danny isn't giving too much away but he did say that the series will evolve to address the #MeToo movement. As long as they don't get some hairy-legged fat chick to replace the iconic Bond girls I'm all good.
  
  
  
  When asked about the portrayal of women in the upcoming film, Danny replied:
  

   

  Quote:You write in real time. You acknowledge the legacy of the world of Bond and you write in the world, but you also write in the modern world as well.

  
  
  
  Although it's all pretty vague, Danny insists that Bond will finally meet his match in female form. After decades of Bond being labelled as misogynistic and sexist, they've certainly got their work cut out for them.

  I'm so happy that we now live in an era where the movie is decided on what is acceptable by the critics of the internet in advance. I have no problem with this Bond having a more feminist edge at all, I found him to be a bit rapey and gross in some recent instalments but was Bond ever meant to be a movie franchise that was a comment on our current world? Are these ideologies not better saved for other cinema where the idea is explore feminism in the modern world in thorough and focused detail? Bond is about shit blowing up, right? 
  
  I would however like a remake of that shower scene, the one where he saves the girl then later that night invites himself into her shower for a banging. I don't want a huge reworking just for her to see him come in and to turn around showing off her glorious form and say, "cheers for the saving and all that but I ain't sucking your dick about it. I need a shower, then bed as I'm fucking exhausted and I'm sure this palaver ain't over yet. May I also say this whole move is very fucking presumptuous of you and I'm worried about your motivation for joining MI5."
  
  The best thing about Bond will always be this....

  Great, because that’s just what everyone was asking for a modernised Bond that harps on about the metoo movement.
  
  I was looking forward to seeing another Craig bond film, but the fact that this is the first thing they are worried about, not the plot or what kind of antagonist they can put in there to challenge Bond. A feminist angle and the metoo movement... Yay

  metoo is potentially gonna find it's way into not only major mtion pictures but an iconic series like Bond. Im all for the movement and what it is acheiving but ffs, leave ithe politics out of our beloved motion pictures. This should not be the driving or central component in the new instalment of bond, with any and all idea's revolving around it with that at its core. Im all for a strong female in the bond films, jame's equal (and maybe then some) will create an interesting dynamic..but dont make it overly preachy if you know what i mean. I look to enjoy films as opposed to having messages rammed down my throat.

  I just have this image of Bond receiving some subtle as a brick to the face speech by a female character by the way Boyle says that. And if they make Bond look useless at any point to prop up some random female character then it could get annoying. Suppose at least it’s not Nolan directing, I know he was rumoured at one point and not a fan of his work at all.

  I do find Nolan's work a little hit and miss but a did love what he acheived with his 'Batman' movies. As for Bond as the supposed dirrection things are heading in, just so long as if rescuing a damsel in distress, he seeks her approval before rescuing her, is minndful of how he picks her up / touchs her / holds her and removes any and all innuendo then he should be fine. Of course by the time he's contemplated all that, they will most likely both be toast. On the upside though, suppose atleast it won't come back to haunt him years down the road..not t mention making for a dull as fuck movie experience.
