Diddy Makes Official Plans for 'Remixed' Black Bond
04 Mar 2005
SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS will "remix" legendary British sleuth JAMES BOND to turn him into a black man from Harlem, New York, with a new name.
As speculation has been rife over the past several months over who will replace PIERCE BROSNAN in the coveted role, BAD BOY ENTERTAINMENT boss Combs recently confessed his ambitions to become the first black James Bond, and now he claims plans are officially underway to make his dream a reality.
He says, "We're gonna remix the whole situation. We're gonna change the name. It's a new time. We're taking the Bond imprint of what he stood for but we're gonna remix it.
"My name's gonna be ROBERT GROUND. It's serious, I'm about to announce the deal next week. I was saying it before but this is serious. You're finally gonna see a black Bond. He's gonna be from Harlem. It's America, baby, it's our turn.
"He's gonna be cool. He's a younger version of Bond. It should be out in the next 20 months."
But Combs does plan to keep one aspect of Bond intact - the new character
will also be a fan of martinis.
