According to a new report, Daniel Craig will pass the martini to “Captain Marvel” actress Lashana Lynch, who will be introduced as the new 007 in the still-untitled 25th Bond film.

Adam Howard
Updated 07.15.19 11:22AM ET Published 07.14.19 7:26PM ET
In news that will surely come as a shock to James Bond fans and the film industry at large, it was revealed today that longtime 007 Daniel Craig will pass the Walther PPK to black British actress Lashana Lynch in the iconic role.

For years there has been intense speculation about who would take over the reins of one of the most durable and profitable film franchises in history once Craig stepped aside. Much of that speculation has revolved around whether the series might make a nod toward diversity and cast a person of color or a woman for the first time.

But if the report from UK tabloid the Daily Mail is to be believed, the 007 producers are going for a radical twofer: casting a 31-year-old black female newcomer as Bond’s heir apparent.

According to the report, the upcoming, yet-to-be-titled 25th Bond film will reveal Lynch as the new 007 with Craig’s character coming out of retirement for one last mission.

This development will almost certainly divide diehard Bond fans who are notoriously protective about the series, which has spanned six decades and featured six white male actors in the black tux.

For instance, there has been a prolonged debate over whether current “Sexiest Man Alive” Idris Elba could or should replace Craig. In 2014, The Daily Beast broke the news that Amy Pascal, then-head of Sony Pictures Entertainment, wanted Elba to be the next Bond. And almost every interview or profile of Elba has seemed to renew the speculation, about which the Hobbs & Shaw star has remained remarkably sanguine.

Literature › Can You Do Worse Than These Horrible First Sentences Of Awful Imaginary Novels by losprince(op): 6:54pm On Jul 15, 2019
This is from the winners of the Lyttle Lytton Contest where people compete to write the worst first sentence (in 25 words or less) of the worst imaginary novel, like "The man looking at me had eyery eyes and they were deadingly deadly!"

The winners are below

2019: "Are you okay?” asks my sister Tlaloc. “You’re as green as the parrots that inhabit this part of the continent.”

...joins a pretty amazing list of awful past winners:

2018: As I felt the vampire sexily drinking the blood from my neck, the warmth between my legs grew both in wetness and in fear for my life

2017: YOU, the Anagramancer, stare down the invading MANTICORE: Will you ROMANCE IT (turn to 123), give it CREMATION (turn to 213), or summon EROTIC MAN (turn to 312)?

2016: It all started when my topaz eyes looked up into his soft emerald ones.

2015: I drew my customized Kimber 1911 .45, with the Pachmayr grips and skeletonized trigger, and leveled it coolly at the African-Americans.

2014: “Together, we will beat them all,” she whispered, caressing the circlet-girt fontanelles of her #royalbaby.

2013: The men greeted each other, wearing various smiles on their faces.

2012: Agent Jeffrey’s trained eyes rolled carefully around the room, taking in the sights and sounds.

2011: The red hot sun rose in the cold blue sky.

2010: "I shouldn’t be saying this, but I think I’ll love you always, baby, always,” Adam cried into the email.

2009: The mighty frigate Indestructible rounded the Horn of Africa and lurched east’ard.

2008: Because they had not repented, the angel stabbed the unrepentant couple thirteen times, with its sword.

2007: It clawed its way out of Katie, bit through the cord and started clearing.

2006: This is the cipher key for all that follows: |||||| || |!

2005: John, surfing, said to his mother, surfing beside him, "How do you like surfing?"

2004: This is the story of your mom's life.

2003: For centuries, man had watched the clouds; now, they were watching him.

2002: The pain wouldn't stop, and Vern still had three cats left.

2001: Turning, I mentally digested all of what you, the reader, are about to find out heartbreakingly.

Can you come up with stuff worse than these?

I have had 'Saving Private Ryan' in my list for about 3 years now but I have not been able watch it. The only time I attempted watching it, all the blood and gore in the first 10 minutes made me blanch and quickly close the movie.

I don't have the stomach for excessively graphic movies.

Well, except for John Wick grin
Why do you swoon at the sight of blood? I thought girls see more blood than boys huh

The perp is the man that played Papa Lannister in GoT, no? Have forgotten his profession, been a while since I saw the miniseries.
You're right, he was no Doctor, he was of the chancery profession.

I suspected the old doctor right from the start, wasn't very thrilled to be proven right in the end (I wanted to be surprised), but it was an entertaining watch nonetheless.


I recommend you watch other Agatha Christie's adaptations, namely Witness to The Prosecution and Ordeal by Innocence. They are not as good as ATTWN, but are good mysteries characterized by red herrings and plot twists.
It wasn't the old doctor, buddy.... Perhaps you're mistaken?

Thanks for the recommendations, will see. cool

Just watched the BBC one mini serie and then there were none based on Agatha Christie's best selling novel of the same name.

I had started reading the book and wanted to see the serie after I was through, but felt I would enjoy the story more visually (so I dropped the book and went for the show)- and I sure did!

Quality acting with some beguiling characters, good dialogue, witty sequences and the misdirections were well nailed down (at a point I stopped trying to solve the mystery and just focus on the entertainment cheesy), and the ending will leave you stunned because the killer was quite obvious you wonder why you didn't figure it out!

Would finish the book now. cool

I remember laughing hysterically with friends at this particular scene. The humor is so gloriously dark. grin

However, it's nothing compared to the graveyard scene. Rockwell's narration of the gun fight he scripted may very well be the funniest thing I've seen in a movie. grin
Hahaha that scene alone can be made into a movie and it will still sell. grin

Seven psychopaths 8/10

A unique narrative, witty and self aware of it's own goofiness, with many fvcked up individuals, no forced humour or expository characters. Well casted and edited, and well paced (though I felt pacing a bit faster wouldn't do any harm). An overall enjoyable picture that will live you entertained by the end.

grin grin grin grin

Beware spoilers below (can't help it, this part is so damn good grin)

Imagine being stalked for years to the point of madness, where you think your only solution was suicide, because only those who take their own lives are guaranteed a place in hell and you think that's the one place your stalker won't be able to follow you, so you pull out a knife and slit your throat; but the last thing you see as the blood spills is the stalker reach into his pocket, bring out a knife of his own, put it to his throat and slit (and he smokes a cigarette while the blood spills from his gullet). grin

Toy story 10/10

Seeing this movies as an adult for the first time I miss not seeing it as a kid, I can only imagine how awestruck I must have been and how inspiring and sophisticating I must have found it.

Such brilliance, hilarious, touching, amazing story, satisfying ending and the voice cast was excellent.

Would tackle the franchise now. grin

Thanks. I have downloaded the bolded because of the great reviews I saw online. I will look for the others to downloaded.

Martin reminds me a bit of Tarantino, mostly because of the often totally irreverent nature of their characters' dialogue. No subject is too taboo for them to discuss. It is very unique, albeit jarring
The bolded is one of the top reasons I love Tarantino's movies.

I agree with you.

My own concern is that the Nigerian government should invest in the entertainment industry.

There should be film schools to teach both acting and directing. We have multimillion naira industry that we export (our films are watched all over Africa) and yet the government does nothing to maximize it.
Do you know how naive you sound? Nigerian government that hasn't successfully improved prestigious aspects of the national life are who you expect to venture into entertainment?

The aviator 9/10

I recall the first time I watched this movie I was enthralled and found the lead character alluring, and now on this later viewing the experience has become even more effervescent. A story about a man battling with his demons, eccentric and charming, touching and soulful, Scorsese and Di Capirio did excellent on this one.

Lolz I don't think so. I saw the movie on a 1080p resolution & to be frank, the movie deserved every single one of those awards it got, taking into special consideration:
-The year the movie was made.
-Other nominees in the various categories the movie won
.
The awards it won goes as thus:
-Best Achievement in Cinematography
-Best Achievement in Directing
-Best Achievement in Film Editing
-Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score
-Best Achievement in Sound Editing
-Best Achievement in Sound Mixing
-Best Achievement in Visual Effects
.
With a rating of 7.7 on IMDb, & 96% respectively on both Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic, i'd say it deserved all the accolades it got.
You're on point, but I must interject that part of it's Oscar winning craze was in part due the portrayal of a strong female lead - you know how the academy award like to appear politically correct. But I must confess that the picture was fascinating, very suspenseful and really awe inspiring.

Princess mononoke 8/10

From the guy who made spirited away, an epic fantasy war anime with an adult story, beautifully drawn and fastidiously executed.

Watching it was a wonderful experience, the romance was bared down to a sufferable level and the philosophy is resonate.

This and spirited away are my top feature length animes so far, and they are spurring me to check out more stuff from studio Ghibli.

The tree of life 6/10

This movie starts out boring and incomprehensible, it might even induce some serious lethargy on the viewer. For the first 30 minutes or so I thought I was watching a discovery world plus Nat Geo wild documentary featuring voice over from an ancient Bible broadcast.

I somehow get what the makers we're trying to portray, plus the acting from Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain managed to pull me in and engage my attention, I must say that this was an audacious experiment and it could have been done better.

Granted, the picture wasn't made for entertainment purpose, you will have to have a strong spiritual orientation to be able to enjoy it, but I must confess the the movie did grow on me as it progressed.
