Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
Not sure if there's already a thread on this, but it has confirmed that British actor Daniel Craig is the new James Bond for Casino Royale. Check here for the article, where there's also a pic of him in 'Bond' mode:

I think he's a good choice.
Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
Wouldn't have been my choice, but at least he's British I suppose.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

At first when I heard about it on the radio I thought it was rather weird that a blonde guy is the new James B(l)ond(e). But now that I've seen the picture I don't think it's all that bad. Expected someone a lot more blonde..
Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
i don´t get the entire problem with him being blond.....wasn´t roger moore blond ??
P.S.- the harder thing for me now is trying to wath the movies with a straight face as "bond" seduces another bondgirl....yeah right! like that guy could do it

I thought Brosnan decided to do it one more year ...
Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
Good choice for a bad role. I think Craig can act - he was very good as Geordie in Our Friends from the North (and also light years away from playing Bond). More recently, he's had more typical leading man roles where he has shown a taciturn masculinity that would seem to fit the part. But he's probably conflicted about taking such a neanderthal role - he did an interview when he was asked whether he would try to bring more depth to the part, and seemed to answer that would not want to risk upsetting a money-making franchise.
Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
I'm not happy with this choice either... While the discussion is up, who would you rather see as Bond? It's hard to find someone who could be close to what Sean Connery was as Bond... The only one I can think of that could fit for the role is George Clooney. IMO Bond should be a slightly older guy who thinks more than he dodges bullets from several assault rifles firing at him, like in the good old days which are gone forever...
Under construction...

He looks the part, and he's British. Good enough for me.
I'll reserve further judgement until I've seen the film.

That's just it, though. The depth of James Bond is that he is more of a neanderthal - social commentary about the current state of the Scot on the world scene.Originally Posted by Simon Appleton

I'm glad he got it...there was a rumor going round that Robbie williams would be the next bond!!

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

For those who don't like it - just remember it could have been Clive Owen. That should make you feel a whole lot better.
Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
Gah!
Well, never heard of the guy, but I'll wait till I see the movie to decide. But I wish it was more of a Sean Connery...

Re: Daniel Craig is new Bond - Official
I feel that Craig may be able to bring some authenticity to the Bond part; less glamour and glibness, more gratuitous violence, upper middle class ennui and destructive sexuality. Craig's rather hollow, cruel face seems to predispose him for it. I am hoping for the best. After Brosnan, who gave it his best shot but who could not even say 'actually' with the Queen's proper intonation, everything is an improvement. The choice of Williams would have spelt instant death for the series.
I would like to see Edward Fox brought back as 'M'.
