Helen Mirren Slams 'James Bond' Movies Over ‘Profound Sexism’


Helen Mirren is married to Pierce Brosnan in their new crime show ‘MobLand,’ but she is not a fan of his most famous character, James Bond

The popular action film franchise is based on a character created by author Ian Fleming for his James Bond book series. Brosnan, who starred in four of the movies from 1995 to 2002, recently told the Sunday Telegraph that it’s a “given” that Bond will be British, adding “I hope that [Amazon] handles the work and the character with dignity and imagination and respect.” Fellow Bond alum Timothy Dalton, meanwhile, has said the Amazon deal has left him “kind of sad” because “it is one of the few wonderful stories we’ve got in film that is British.”
