I just spent an hour in the casting department looking for an English Victoria Bond, and I found a Scottish Victoria. Holly McDowell looks like a Victoria. She looks like Sean Connery;s granddaughter, Compare their eyes. There is something deep going on. They are beyond being clever. These eyes want to best you, make sure their supperior intelligence comes out on top.
“Don’t fuck with me!”
The above image will be the poster for the movie that reads…
HE’S BACK
I know Holly can act, but can she be taught by pros – to really act! Conidder the silent movies. Imagine Holy-Victoria is laying some bullshit on her, trying to get past her. Her eyes do all the arguing!
C’mon! Lets get this movie in production. Im getting old, here, and they’re about to take away my food stamps. I run the largest blog in the world on a $1,000 a month budget. Give me a million dollars and I have The Royal Janitor on Broadway!
In the novel On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Bond reluctantly relays to professional genealogist Sir Hilary Bray that his father was a Scot from the Highlands near Glencoe and he has no living relatives.
It was not until the penultimate novel, You Only Live Twice, that Ian Fleming gave Bond a sense of family background, using a fictional obituary, purportedly from The Times. The book was the first to be written after the release of Dr. No in cinemas and Sean Connery’s depiction of Bond affected Fleming’s interpretation of the character, to give Bond both a sense of humour and Scottish antecedents that were not present in the previous stories. The novel reveals Bond is the son of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond, of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, of the Canton de Vaud. The young James Bond spends much of his early life abroad, becoming multilingual in German and French because of his father’s work as a Vickers armaments company representative. When his parents are killed in a tragic mountain climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges near Chamonix, eleven-year-old James is orphaned.
Some say James Bond was born in Berlin. Others say he was born in the Vaud. My fathers grandfathers came from Berlin, and my mother’s people are said to come from Rougemont – located in the Vaud!
Last night I declared – Checkmate – because I had won a literary game. But, the dark game is not over! The Domonique of the Cross of Rougemont has sequestered the mystery of the Shroud of Turin and the Rougemont Templars….to a safe place!
“But the links between 007 and Switzerland go deeper than the odd actress or director. Bond is, after all, half-Swiss: his mother, Monique Delacroix, came from canton Vaud (before dying in a climbing accident in Chamonix).
“One story says Fleming had a girlfriend in Geneva – he spent some time in Switzerland and Austria where he learnt to ski – and this was then worked into his novels,” said Daniel Haberthür, president of the James Bond Club Switzerland.
