    Default 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:

    New Bond

    I think he's a good choice.

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

    what about the irishman?

    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..

    I hope Q is still John Cleese.

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

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

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    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'.

    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?
