It’s a 2-hour long dialogue between Bond (played by Wallace Shawn) and a villainous billionaire media mogul Fryston Gallibre (played by Peter Capaldi) who is trying to collapse western democracy through ever more bland homogenized remakes of beloved franchises.

In the end, Fryston realizes that Bond has never seen any of these movies or shows and isn’t really a fanboy of anything so he is immune to this assault on culture. Bond actually leaves confused and when trying to explain the whole thing back at the office he stops mid-sentence and asks the widowed Mrs. Money Penny (Judi Dench) If she’d like to go see a movie together, “apparently they’re quite popular!”

You know this is an Onion article because the real frontrunner for the role of James Bond is going to be, like every other role, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.

Seriously though, there’s a potentially great reboot opportunity there…

It would have to be very intelligently written to avoid the “reboot with women protagonist” clichés/pitfalls, the fact that 007 is a woman would have to strike just the right tone… misogyny would probably need to be faced with a good dose of “ok boomer” smirking, it would absolutely have to pass the Bechdel test…

But yea, that would be the first James Bond I’d go see in 2 decades, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.

And, if the villain were played by esteemed character actress Margot Martindale…

It’ll never happen, because they’d just have to pack up the Academy of Motion Pictures and go home, because it’d be all downhill after that film.
