Wright on Bond & Leiter, Director Marc Forster and a Possible Future Return!

00Twelve — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:01:03 +0000

In a new interview with Blackfilm.com, Jeffrey Wright answers questions about playing Leiter again in Quantum of Solace, what it’s been like to work again with Daniel Craig, his opinions of Marc Forster, and his enthusiasm with the possibility of continuing on as our beloved Felix in future Bond films. Here’s one excerpt to whet your appetite:

“What changes should we expect from Felix in the sequel?”

“Well, Quantum of Solace goes on to develop the relationship between Leiter and Bond. There is a kinship between the two of them that we continue to discover because they are similar in many ways. They are guys who are very much alone in their world. It’s a murky environment in which they operate and there are few people that they trust. They found a trust in one another and we try to explore that further. Outside of MI6, Leiter is Bond’s only consistent ally. He’s played a critical throughout the history of the Bond films.”

EON Productions’ Quantum of Solace opens nationwide in the USA on November 14th, 2008.

Jeffrey Wright Arrested in Louisiana Bar Brawl

LA Bar Brawl Was Racially Charged According to Oliver Stone

Righty007 — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:15:16 +0000

I can’t believe this kind of crap still goes on in the United States of America in 2008. We’re so close to electing the first African American president yet racism still plagues the country. Unbelievable. I hope Wright sues Shreveport.

From the Internet Movie Database (IMDb):

Moviemaker Oliver Stone has hinted the summer bar brawl that landed his W stars Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright behind bars was racially charged.

The director was with the two actors in Shreveport, Louisiana when both were cautioned and then arrested by local police for being drunk and disorderly during a fracas outside the Stray Cat bar.

Wright and Brolin have maintained their innocence and now Stone suggests the fight started after a barman took a dislike to African-American Wright - and the whole thing was handled by “insane” cops.

He tells the new issue of Men’s Journal magazine, “I saw Jeffrey being arrested. I guarantee you, that man was not drunk, and he was not disorderly.

“There was a white bartender who had taken a dislike to him a few days prior… and he’s (Wright) not going to take s**t from anybody.

“He was escorted out of the bar and treated in a rough manner by these policemen. That’s when Josh and his group went out to protest.

“The cops said, ‘Step back, sir!’ Josh said, ‘Sir, why are you arresting him?’ and then, boom, (they) maced him in the eyes. They tasered Jeffrey twice… and they beat up my assistant.”

Stone admits he stayed inside the bar because he knew he’d get arrested if he joined the fracas.

He adds, “These people were really rough.”

Police officials in Shreveport have conducted their own internal investigation following the events of the July brawl and declared the local cops committed no violations.

Confirmed: Leiter to Smoke Cigar in ‘Quantum of Solace’

Righty007 — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:50:16 +0000

Why was FelixLeiter.com created this year? Because Leiter’s the friggin’ man! Here’s proof:

In July, FLc reported that Felix Leiter lights up in a bar in Quantum of Solace. Now we know from this still that he is smoking a cigar not a cigarette!

The above image was taken from Omega’s new James Bond website. Here’s the bio they have for Leiter at that site:

“Although Leiter doesn’t have 007’s skill in the field, his knowledge and expertise have often arrived for Bond just in the nick of time. Over time Leiter becomes the closest thing Bond has had to a friend, as shown by 007’s extreme reaction to his torture in ‘Licence To Kill’.

Although Bond and Leiter eventually become quite good friends, not much is known about Felix’s private life. Bond first encounters Leiter, a CIA agent, in Casino Royale, when the CIA and MI6 join forces to topple Le Chiffre at the poker tables. Leiter occasionally demonstrates a sense of humour and irony, but little is known about his personal interests.”

I believe this will be the first time since Die Another Day that a Fleming original is seen smoking onscreen. FelixLeiter.com doesn’t advocate smoking but we certainly approve of it when our favorite fictional characters, James Bond and Felix Leiter, do it in the novels and films! Why? Because Fleming created these characters as smokers.

In Ian Fleming’s novels, Commander James Bond preferred a blend of Balkan and Turkish tobacco made for him by Morlands of Grosvenor Street and Felix Leiter preferred cigarettes made by the American company, Chesterfield.

It’s not clear whether Bond will also be seen smoking a cigar in Quantum of Solace but I wouldn’t count on it. He hasn’t been seen with a cigarette onscreen since Licence to Kill in 1989. I was born that year so that should give you an idea of how long it’s been!

Thanks to Roland Hasler for the tip-off! Much appreciated, brother.

Quantum of Solace hits theaters on October 31 in the UK and on November 14 in the USA!
