The Bond producers started moving toward diversity back when they first cast Dench as M back in 1995. I also recall the Pierce Brosnan films in which she first appeared being quite well commercialized, though I can't recall whether Brosnan did "in character" commercials during his tenure.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-26359895495519340812013-02-21T10:46:58.137-05:002013-02-21T10:46:58.137-05:00I reviewed this when it was in theatres, in my own...I reviewed this when it was in theatres, in my own inimitable style. I wouldn't go so far as to make comparisons to Nolan's Bat-trilogy, but rather, the creative minds involved with the Bond franchise decided to make adjustments (i.e. a younger, African-American, or in this case, African-British, Moneypenny) to fit a more cultural diverse society in the 21st century. I definitely have to go back and watch Casino Royale & Quantum Of Solace on DVD, and soon.<br /><br />The downside, though, is that this was the most commercialized Bond, what with Daniel Craig appearing in character in an ad for Heineken, for example. None of the other Bonds did that. It's not needed.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.com
