Gripping Takes on the Future of Bond: Naomie Harris' Concerns Rather Than Hopes
- Actress Advocates for Conventional Marital Ties
In the evolving cinematic landscape, speculations soar as Amazon MGM Studios take the reigns for the Bond films, revitalizing the iconic secret agent's 007 saga. Naomie Harris (48), long-time franchise actress, expresses her reservations about the anticipated modifications to the celebrated agent's profile.
Naomie Harris: A Voice of Traditionalism in the Bond Universe
British thespian, who graced the big screen as Moneypenny opposite befuddled former agent Daniel Craig (57) in "Skyfall," "Spectre," and the recent "No Time to Die," recently sat down for a heart-to-heart with Harper's Bazaar to express her concern for the franchise's preservation of traditional elements.
"I genuinely worry they'll overmodernize Bond," Harris averred. "Growing up with Bond, I think this particular character needs those classic elements for audiences to connect." Asked who she thought could potentially carry the torch, Harris cryptically commented, "I recently worked with Regé-Jean Page in 'Black Bag,' and let me say, he sure knows how to rock a suit..."
With Craig's retirement following "No Time to Die," sparks have been flying around potential successors. Among them, names like Regé-Jean Page (37), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (34), Paul Mescal (29), and Stuart Martin (39) appear in the gossip mill.
Respect and Imagination: The Keys to the Bond Legacy
Just a few weeks ago, the news broke that "Spectre" and "No Time to Die" producers, Barbara Broccoli (64) and Michael G. Wilson (83), would be relinquishing their creative control over Bond. Pierce Brosnan (71), a former incarnation of 007, recently shared with the Daily Telegraph his hopes for Amazon to uphold the legacy by treating the work and the character with "dignity, imagination, and respect."
