ADR in Popular Culture: James Bond as a Mediator?
This post has been viewed 2,441 times.
Sadly, the official cover story for the agent on Her Majesty secret service is an employee of a fictional import-export company named Universal Exports. Usually, he is ready to provide the enemies with fake business cards. In the case the curious villain calls a stated phone number, a specific person at the MI5 headquarters in London is ready to answer the phone and introduce him/herself as Universal Exports operator. Such a waste of potential. Imagine the cover story to be Universal Mediation Consultancy!
Someone may argue that Ian Fleming’s hero is everything else but a mediator: For more than sixty-six years, James Bond has been rather destroying relationships instead of creating new ones and improving old ones. Anyway, he is pretty distant from the sales representative too. Picking up a mediation as a cover story would not change the plot of Bond movies (and books) at all and it would help the ADR significantly, would it?
