Adi Shankar’s James Bond Fan Film Is Less Ambitious Than His Power Rangers.
 |
Having finally settled things with Saban and re-uploaded “Power/Rangers” with more specifically negotiated legalese, Adi Shankar has dropped his new “gritty reboot”: a James Bond fan film starring an aging Sean Connery Bond in the present day. Part RED and part Hollis Mason death scene in Watchmen, it’s done in animatic storyboard form, and features Bond pining for the old days when he didn’t have to pay for sex and could kill with impunity. Decent Connery impression too.
I typed this late at night when this video went up, so I hope it still appears below!
