Subject: RE: Idris Elba as James Bond? Yes yes

But you know, given the current trend of female remakes like Ghostbusters, Ocean's 8, etc., Bond could be re-imagined as a woman.

I'm not sure about the casting. Audiences don't mind a 40-ish male Bond, but they expect younger women. They need to get over this.

My pick for Jamey Bond would be Rhona Mitra. She would kick the ass out of a new Bond series.

Emily Blunt would be more age-appropriate, but much as I love her (I send her a card every Valentine's Day), she would be second on the list. She could probably carry it off, but Mitra would be more fitting as a harried, tough, performance under pressure type (consider Doomsday, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, and her stint as Major Dalton in the Strike Back series).

Emily could be the new M.
