Idris Elba isn't going to be the next Bond...

But he is going to lead the movie adaption of Stephen King's Dark Tower series! as Roland Deschain. So happy to see this green-lit, and great casting. I am sure he and McConaughey are gonna really bring those characters to life. Ka is a wheel.

Jordan Catalano said: "The next Bond is going to be Leslie Jones. I thought everyone knew that.

"

You misheard the announcement, they said Leslie Jordan.

I don't like McConaughey, I think he is overrated.

I wish they chose someone that would be a better match for the charisma of Elba in this movie.

I went from hating the sight of McConaughey to being amazed at how good an actor he'd become and then right back to hating the sight of him. I'm glad he'll be kept busy by this series for a while -- it makes it all the easier to avoid him.

Sahara and fools gold are two of my favorite movies. Matthew was terrific in both and didn't play the same character with a similar story. in all seriousness McConaugheys performance in interstellar is one of my all time favs.

I'm probably going to get pummeled for this, but I never got the Idris for Bond hype. I thought Idris was brilliant on The Wire and rose above the hammy writing on Luther. He's a wonderful actor, but I never thought, damn, he'd make a great Bond. And, no, not because of his race. I just never saw alignment between the role and the actor. I think having a black (or Latino or Indian or Arab or Asian) Bond would be fabulous, though.

Chiwetel Ejiofor doesn't have the right appearance/poise for the role. It's too negative. He doesn't have that kind of charm.

I think Elba does have that charm, but he is just too plump for the role.

Plump was Roger Moore. Plump was Connery in later years. From what I have seen of Elba plump is not an apropos word to describe him.

It's not a generalized thing about all black people, you know it's just the specific aspects of "too negative" Chiwetel and the problem with Idris, which practically rhymes with obese.

It's unheard of for actors to change their physical condition for a role. Get another white guy, problem solved!

There you go again. You need a fire extinguisher handy whenever this individual joins a conversation..A little reverse racism at work here. Am I surprised ? No. A shame someone has to use it to try and make a point.

Take your best shot Namo. If you do not know by now it will not work on me you will never will. Go bully someone else for kicks.

Mr. Roxy, I'm sorry to break this to you but reading comprehension has never been your strongest suit and for your information Namo is not a racist.

I think you are the one who needs to be hosed down.

-- There's just something about that guy we just, mmmmm, it's just we don't see him so much as, you know, a James Bond.

-- Which guy?

--- The one in a shirt?

-- Which one in a shirt?

-- Ohhh, don't make me say it...

-- Who are you talking about?

-- That BLACK Guy!

I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck Dave19 meant when he wrote that Chiwetel Ejiofor's looks were too "negative".

Where does he come up with crap like that?
