UK's Daily Mail - currently basking in the glow of being a British tabloid NOT shuttered by a horrific phone-hacking scandal - reports that the next installment of the rebooted James Bond series has found it's Miss Moneypenny: Naomi Harris, late of "28 Days Later" and "Pirates of the Carribbean."
If this is legit, it will make Harris the sixth actress (three in the "main" series plus two in the "side" films); and the first black actress to play the role. That second part will, of course, pass by largely un-remarked-upon and will not at all generate bleats of outrage from "racially-conscious" white people about "losing" this or that artifact of pop-culture; as everybody got that out of their system on "Thor"...
...right? ;)
