First look at Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg in ‘THE SOCIAL NETWORK’ sequel.
The film follows an engineer who becomes a whistleblower on Facebook's most guarded secrets.
Leonard Nimoy performing “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" from his 1968 album 'Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy' on the short lived variety show Malibu U, 1967.
He’s been in the press frame for this role since— fff, Quantum? He’s been asked about and spoken on it a number of times. He’s had plenty of opportunities to make this “Bond shouldn’t be black” point.
I love Idris Elba.
But I don’t think he’s right. I’m also suspicious that he’s saying all this after it’s been made crystal clear that he’s not going to get it.
It feels like pandering of the worst kind to me. Pulling up the rope ladder to a treehouse he never got to play in.
Idris Elba says James Bond doesn’t need to be “woke”
“Bond is big all over the world. And audiences won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period…
Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.”

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
This is a bit more action packed than opening a suitcase but this is one of my favourite uses of the Bond theme, purely for that bass as he pulls on the blind 👌
