The New Robin Masters?

#1 Post by Styles Bitchley »

Just doing some thinking here and wondering if Robin Masters will also be a woman - given that Higgy baby is. They wouldn’t even have to change the name. I think some of the wealthiest authors of our day are romance novelists like Danielle Steele and Jackie Collins. Just some thoughts.

All good points Styles. It could easily be a woman named Robin.
Looking forward to the hearing Robin's voice on the phone!

I hope that if Lenkov does go with a woman they call her just by Robin and not Mrs. Masters...it just doesn't sound right...sorry ladies.

OK Kenji, I have to respond :evil: (just kidding :wink: )

Well of course Magnum would call her Robin but "Juliet" would refer to her as "Mrs. Maahstus"... does that sound better with a British accent? :higgins:

Gulp....it's feeling a little hot in here. :oops: :wink:

She might be Miss Mashstus too, otherwise there has to be a Mr. Masters (new one) somewhere out there..... maybe she is a widow. We are starting to sound like expectant parents....will our Robin be a boy or girl. :wink: :lol:

That was one of my first thoughts when it was announced Higgins would be a female. With Lenkov in charge, I would actually be surprised if he doesn't do this. Now, any choices for the voice??? I go with Helen Mirren or Emma Thompson (I'm feeling a British accent for the character)

Lenkov was posting old pics on Instagram yesterday because he said he was bored on the set, and this was one of them...

Who knows, but just thought I'd toss that out there.

If you want a Jackie Collins like character for a female Higgins might as well get the sister..........(and she is a dame now).....I actually have the Playboy issue she appeared in around here somewhere :wink:

Interesting RG!
I find it interesting that Lenkov chose this time to "randomly" toss that pic out there for no other reason than being bored......YIKES....he better not be already bored on the reboot set! :shock: :wink: I'm guessing this could be one of his hints/teases of what's to come. I would prefer Steve's choice of Helen Mirren or maybe even Judy Dench for a female voice for Robin. You would think with today's technology they could play around with old lines Orson Welles has said and slip them into the reboot....that I would love, but maybe we are not there yet.

Peter Coyote, if he is available. Or how about Liam Neeson? :)
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!

We now know that the new Robin Masters will be a male and his novels are loosely based on TM's adventures.
The first novel that is brought to our attention is WHITE KNIGHT: SECRET STATE
, a #1 best selling novel that has TM HALO jumping from space which isn't true, but he did HALO jump over North Korea. :wink: Throughout the trailer TC is teasing TM, calling him the White Knight.
It will be interesting to see if future novels will be from a Robin Master's WHITE KNIGHT series......i.e. WHITE KNIGHT: BEHIND ENEMY LINES etc.. or was that a one off.

Go to :39 second mark for confirmation Robin is a man.
