'No Time To Die' director Cary Fukunaga says Sean Connery's James Bond basically 'rapes a woman' in past films
Fox News
The director of the upcoming James Bond film “No Time To Die” discussed the character’s film legacy in the wake of the #MeToo movement, specifically calling out Sean Connery’s first iteration of the world-famous spy.
The director told the outlet that the hardest part of the movie was making the character’s womanizing legacy palatable for an audience that was particularly self-reflective of the entertainment industry’s treatment of women. The film began development in 2016, long before an expose on now-convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein kicked off a national reckoning against predatory behavior.
That led the director to note that Bond in general has a history of casual misogyny.
