  • You Know My Name, but Who Am I? Structure and Agency in the Making and Remaking of James Bond
    Green, John Paul (2008) You Know My Name, But Who Am I? Structure and Agency in the Making and Remaking of James Bond. In: Recycling Culture/s. John-Paul Green . Cambridge Scholars Press, Newcastle, pp. 93-102. ISBN 1- 84718-429-4 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/4766/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. You Know My Name, But Who Am I? Structure and Agency in the Making and Remaking of James Bond. In 1969 the advertising campaign for the sixth James Bond movie, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, promoted both the movie and the new James Bond as “a little bit different”, while at the same time reassuring the audience through a montage of shots that the latest film would continue to provide action set pieces, beautiful girls and the most vile of villains. Of course the main focus of this particular advertising campaign was to promote the casting of George Lazenby as the new James Bond – the first actor to take on the role since Sean Connery (and who had played Bond in five successful films). The producers of the James Bond movie franchise had to juggle selling a fresh face and a revived franchise, with the reassurance that the things the audience liked with the Connery movies was still going to be present here. Almost thirty years later in Goldeneye, the now female head of MI6 reminds Bond and the audience that he is a “cold war relic […] a misogynist dinosaur.” The face may have changed–this time the role of James Bond had been taken by Pierce Brosnan, who became the fifth actor to appropriate the 007 moniker, but by the end of the film Bond has reassured both M and the audience that he can still defeat the villain (a rogue 00 agent, further reaffirming Bond’s credentials as the tried and trusted face of the Secret Service) and get the girl, as he walks off into the 1 sunset, literally carrying Natalya Simonova in his arms.

  • The New Q, Masculinity and the Craig Era Bond Films Claire Hines
    “Brave New World”: The New Q, Masculinity and the Craig Era Bond Films Claire Hines In Spectre (Mendes 2015) Ben Wishaw reprised his role as Q, head of MI6’s Q Branch, and the man behind James Bond’s life-saving gadgets and weaponry. They met for the first time in Skyfall (Mendes 2012) and this encounter helped to reset the relationship between Q and Bond, in keeping with the theme of old versus new that was very much a part of this 50th anniversary Bond film. Q tells Bond that, “I’m your new Quarter-master”, as they sit side by side on a bench in London’s National Gallery, in front of Turner’s painting of The Fighting Temeraire (1838), an evocative metaphor for Bond as an ageing agent.1 “You must be joking” scoffs Bond in judgement of him for looking too young and inexperienced to handle the job. Yet in the course of the conversation that follows Q is able to match Bond with some witty comebacks, (re)establishing the mutual respect and trust between them that the film further develops. This is carried over into a second appearance in Spectre when Q is given a more expansive brief. At the end of the meeting scene in Skyfall, having matched Bond’s witty repartee, Q stands up and leaves Bond with a Walther PPK gun and a radio transmitter. He wishes him good luck in the field and politely reminds him to return the equipment. “Brave new world” says Bond now alone, talking aloud to himself, but also a deliberate aside to the film audience about what Q’s demeanour might represent for Bond and the franchise.
