The Name’s Bond, Jane Bond

My Dr No Canvas

I’m huge fan of the original James Bond movies and I own every Bond movie made, I also have a collection of the cars that were used in the movies and I have a huge canvas print of the The first James Bond Film – Dr No with Sean Connery as 007. Now most women feel that James Bond was a chauvinistic womanizer and yes I see their point of view but as a woman I loved these movies they had great fight scenes, awesome gadgets and lets not forget plenty of gorgeous women that definitely can hold their own when it comes down to it, and with Daniel Craig not want to play 007 again the coveted role is up for grabs, personally I didn’t think Daniel Craig made the best Bond he lacked that certain charm and with the times changing perhaps so to should the role of Bond. There is no time like the present to explore having a female Bond – Jane Bond.

It has always been something I have wanted to see, a woman playing Bond and over the years I have had some awesome women in mind, however the best person to be Jane Bond in my opinion is Gillian Anderson she ticks all the right boxes of what Jane Bond needs to possess, She needs to be somewhat emotionally void (We have seen Gillian do this with Stella Gibson in The Fall), She needs to be strong, intelligent, desired by both men and women and can look sexy in a tailored suit as well as a dress.

What happens to the Bond girls you ask? Well for me the Bond girls are also an integral part so there would still need to be Bond girls along with some Bond boys and a mixture of men and women villain’s. Twitter recently had voting with the hashtag #NextBond and Gillian emerged as the clear fan-favorite, “The Fall and The X Files” actress responded to all the hype and excitement by tweeting a fan-made Bond poster (allegedly made by photographer Karla Carbajal) featuring herself.

It's Bond. Jane Bond.
Thanks for all the votes! (And sorry, don't know who made poster but I love it!) #NextBond pic.twitter.com/f8GC4ZuFgL

Daniel Craig ‘Done’ Playing 007

Despite being offered a two-film deal of £68 million, Daniel Craig has confirmed he will not be returning to play James Bond.

This news follows on just a few days shy of bookmakers calling off bets for British actor Tom Hiddleston to be next in line on the throne that is the James Bond franchise.

Daniel Craig has been playing the iconic role since 2006 when he featured in Casino Royale, and has pulled in over £2billion in box office revenues during his time.

Inside sources said Craig had intended for some time that Spectre (2015) would be his last time stepping into the spy’s shoes, and that MGM hoped a large sum on a contract would help persuade him. However, an LA film source said; “Daniel is done – pure and simple – he told top brass at MGM after Spectre.”

Overall, this shouldn’t come as a surprise – Daniel Craig has always held criticism’s for the franchise, including a public interview in which he said he would rather “slash my [his] wrists” than take on the Bond role again.

Now, after nine years in the role, film makers need to once again search for an actor to fill those very big and most likely gadget riddled shoes. Whilst Tom Hiddleston has been the name thrown around the most, Idris Elba is a name that’s been thrown around for some time. He would also be the first non-white actor to play the role.

EDITORS NOTE:- Sorry guys and gals but I can’t be more excited about Daniel Craig leaving, I for one will welcome Hiddles if/when he gets the role 😉
