‭Pupil A: Hey are you the James Bond movie producer?

‭B: Who even are you? Security, there is a weird man in my office come get him‬

‭ : Wait, I don't want anything from you, I don't have any bad attention, just wanting to‬
A
‭talk about the casting of the next James Bond, some ideas?‬

‭B: Who even are you to give me advice ?‬

‭ upil A: (A) just listen, have you ever thought about how cool it would be to have a‬
P
‭disabled actor or actress in the next James Bond film? It could bring a fresh‬
‭perspective to the character!‬

‭ upil B: (B) Hum why would i have those sort of ideas, it's not right,my film is not for‬
P
‭those kind of persons, you know that James Bond is all about those‬
‭adrenaline-pumping stunts and action scenes. Would a disabled actor be able to‬
‭handle all the dangerous stunts?‬

‭Pupil A: (A) That's a valid point. But we've seen advancements in CGI‬
(‭ ‭c‬ omputer-generated imagery)‬‭and stunt technology‬‭and even body doubles.‬
‭I'm sure we can find ways to modify stunts to ensure the actor's safety while‬
‭maintaining the excitement of the action sequences. This way, we can still have‬
‭those jaw-dropping action sequences without compromising anyone's safety.‬

‭ upil B: (B) Even with all of those technologies, a disabled actor doesn’t have the‬
P
‭experience or the capacities to make such scenes. Normal people with no‬
‭disabilities require less compromises, less time and less money. Someone disabled‬
‭needs assistance in everything he does, and that is just not supportable.‬

‭ : That is actually true, but with all those compromises, have you imagined how your‬
A
‭image would positively evolve? So many people would love this choice and they‬
‭would support your film because you accepted the differences. Making a disabled‬
‭actor part of the project will have so many positive impacts on your brand image.‬

‭ upil B: (B) Okay, fair enough. But what if they react negatively? The Bond franchise‬
P
‭has a massive fan base, and they can be quite vocal. Some might not be ready for‬
‭such a change and could react negatively.‬

‭ upil A: (A) I get your concern, but change is often met with resistance. Remember‬
P
‭when Daniel Craig was cast as Bond? Many fans were skeptical, but he turned out to‬
‭be an excellent choice. Over time, people adjusted, and he's now one of the most‬
‭iconic Bonds. It might take time to accept the changes, but inclusivity is worth it.‬
‭ upil B: (B) I suppose you have a point there. And what about the risk of reinforcing‬
P
‭stereotypes? Casting a disabled actor might raise concerns about their disability‬
‭being the central focus of the character, rather than their skills or personality.‬

‭ upil A: (A) Absolutely, that's a valid concern. We need to be careful in how we write‬
P
‭and develop the character. The disability should be a part of their story, not their‬
‭entire identity. The disability can be a part of what makes the character unique, but it‬
‭should not define them. The character's skills, personality, and backstory should‬
‭shine through.‬

‭ : Okay, i really appreciate the advices and I will surely think about it, but did you forget you‬
B
‭illegally entered my office? I’m letting the security do their work with you, have a good‬
‭evening !‬
