“James Bond is a male character! I hope there will be a lot of films that women make, for women, with women and about women. But I don’t think we have to take a male character and have it portrayed by a woman. So yes, I see him as a man, “said Barbara Broccoli, who in the past admitted that Agent 007 would not have to be played by a white man.
The Bond producer also admitted that she persuaded Daniel Craig several times to continue in the role. The actor wanted to leave after his third Bond film Skyfall.
“I kind of refuse to leave, I would be very happy if Daniel could continue in the role forever. So I’m not thinking about replacing it at all. It is something that I will not discuss with co-producer Michael G. Wilson until next year, “she added, adding that she now refuses to start the question of the sequel at all.
“When Daniel came, it was a completely different version of the character, which I didn’t know until then, as an adult it got me. Whoever plays this character must have the charisma and all the subtle nuances, “Broccoli does not hide that choosing a new Bond will be very difficult.
The first agent with permission to kill himself on screen appeared in the film Dr. Well, from 1962, the latest 25th bond film called No Time to Die will premiere on September 28 after several delays.

For the fifth time – and apparently for the last time – Agent 007 is played by blue-eyed blond Daniel Craig. He is the sixth representative of Bond and at first he did not lie on roses. This Briton brought more harshness to the character, but according to some critics he lacked the necessary dose of humor. Eventually, however, Craig took the wind out of the sails, and the last four films with it – Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Specter (2015) – earned more than any other part of this popular series.
From Conney to Craig
Scottish bard Sean Connery was the first to give Bond his face. However, the author of the literary masterpiece, Ian Fleming, did not trust him much and described him as an overgrown stuntman. Connery played 007 six times before being replaced by George Lazenby for a single installment. This was followed by Roger Moore’s longest-serving “dude” Bond (played seven times). Timothy Dalton has been Bond twice, Pierce Brosnan four times. Craig has announced the end after the fifth Bond race, and there is already speculation as to who will be next.
“Bond… James Bond,” is one of the typical movie buzz rock fans are waiting for. Her Majesty’s agent’s favorite drink is also traditional: a martini with vodka – “shake, don’t stir”. As always with the seductive ladies present, whether they turn out to be Bond’s allies or adversaries. Beauties such as Ursula Andress, Jane Seymour, Britt Ekland, Kim Basinger, Sophie Marceau and Halle Berry appeared in the roles of “bondgirls”.

Otherwise, little has changed in Bonds over the years. In addition to the legendary sports car Aston Martin, in which the 007 raced, there were also sports BMWs and Ford cars. In the famous martini drink, Smirnoff vodka was replaced by another – Finland. Bond’s Rolexes were replaced by the Omega brand. Especially in recent years, these films offer a relatively strong marketing opportunity, they call Sony phones, sip Coca-Cola Zero or wear Hugo Boss suits.
During his adventures, James Bond has already traveled to all corners of the world, underwater and into orbit. The most attractive filming locations included the Icelandic ice plains, the lunar landscape in Chile and the Caribbean islands. The agent also visited the Czech Republic, Casino Royale was filmed in Prague, Karlovy Vary, Loket or Planá in the Tachov region. In short, the Slovak Bratislava did not come either, where a 1987 bond film called Breath of Life was partly taking place (however, it was filmed in Vienna).
Music is also an important part of the films. From Dr. Well, from 1962, the central motif composed by Marty Norman goes through the series. The title songs were sung by star performers – Alicia Keys and Jack White (Quantum Of Solace), Duran Duran (Prospect of Murder), Paul McCartney & Wings (Live and Let Die), Tina Turner (Golden Eye), Sheryl Crow (Tomorrow Never Dies) ), Madonna (Don’t Die Today), Adele (Skyfall), Sam Smith (Specter) and for the latest No time to die young star Billie Eilish.

Bond also has fans in the highest circles. British Queen Elizabeth II. showed an unexpected sense of humor in 2012 when she shot a short scene with Craig for the start of the London Olympics. In the pre-recorded clip, the queen was transported by helicopter over the Olympic Stadium. Two stuntmen dressed as the Queen and Bond jumped out of the actual helicopter. When they fell to the ground, the real Elizabeth II. came to the stadium to applause.
Bond’s spiritual father is the British writer, journalist and naval officer Ian Fleming (1908 to 1964), who also drew on his own experience of espionage service to invent stories. He wrote twelve novels and two books of short stories about the agent. After Fleming, other authors continued to write stories – Kingsley Amis, John Pearson, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks and Jeffery Deaver. Already 100 million books have been sold about Bond worldwide.
