I mean that was a world which was ripe for an incredible amount of sexism. One thing about Bond is that, now I look back on it, I think, 'Gosh'. I don't want my feminism "sneaked in ", thanks, I will take it plain as day, much like Killing Eve (which Waller-Bridge also wrote). When it was announced that Waller-Bridge would be on the Bond 25 writing team, it was assumed that the move was to inject some humour, while she said she'd try to "sneak in feminism". She also went uncredited for her writing role on Goldfinger in 1964. No in 1962 and From Russia with Love in 1963. The first was Johanna Harwood, who co-wrote Dr. It is worth pointing out here that Waller-Bridge is the second woman to receive a Bond writing credit. But a misogynist character does not, necessarily, mean it's a misogynist film. She also called him "a relic of the Cold War". I'd adore an erasure of the "sexist, misogynist dinosaur", as Judi Dench's first female M described Bond in her first outing as the head of MI6 in 1995's GoldenEye. It probably goes without saying I would love to see a woke Bond on-screen. Ursula Andress' Honey Ryder in the original 1962 James Bond movie, 'Dr No', which starred Sean Connery as Bond. If we can trust that Bond 25 won't treat the female actors as objects, that it won't have a 2019 Sean Connery-equivalent smack a lead actress on the behind and tell her to leave them to their "man talk", or that none of the characters will be called Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead or variations thereof, then for me the movies are making progress in the right direction.
It’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, of course she is right.Īs much as we would all like it to happen, there is no erasing every misogynist, either on and off screen. My initial thought was, "Someone is now taking her Kool-Aid shaken, not stirred".īut, in reality, she is right. The first time I read that, I will be honest, I rolled my eyes (forgive me Fleabag for I have sinned). It has just got to evolve, and the important thing is that the film treats the women properly. He doesn’t have to. "There's been a lot of talk about whether or not is relevant now because of who he is and the way he treats women," the Fleabag writer told Deadline. Now that she has signed on to polish the script, it makes perfect sense she would be defending the franchise. Daniel Craig starred as James Bond in Spectre, and is expected to make his fifth and final appearance as 007 in the next as-yet untitled film. Jonathan Olley/MGM /Columbia/EON Productions
