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:

New Bond

I think he's a good choice.

Wouldn't have been my choice, but at least he's British I suppose.

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..

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 hope Q is still John Cleese.

He was excellent in layer cake (a vastly underrated flick)

For those who don't like it - just remember it could have been Clive Owen. That should make you feel a whole lot better.

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...

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'.

'Get cracking, 007!'

Weren't the first 10 or so more about single one on one fights with bullets and infiltartion than blasting through Russian cities with a tank?
