    Good choice - lets have a blond haired blue eyed ugly actor play a charatcer that is know for being dark haired and handsome.

    What is going on? I'm gutted.

    Hope Daniel Craig and the Bond team prove me wrong with Casino Royale

    It reminds me of the casting of George Clooeny as Batman. I doubt the new movie will get the production money that the last ones have had, it sounds lile they are trying to make this a low budget film. Friday October 14, 2005 the death of James Bond.

    Okay. That's great. :s So Daniel Craig will play Bond. Let's then have David Spade or Rob Schneider play the villain and we can have the ingredients for the worst ever Bond. My god, don't the producers have any brains? Craig is not Bond material. Bond must be tall, dark and hansome. Or at least two of the three, and he isn't even one!

    "...more character, less gadgets". Now where have we heard that before?

    First time I heard he could become Bond, I didn´t even consider him for 5 seconds.
    Let´s keep our fingers crossed.

    By the way, I can't really remember, because I welcomed the choice back then: Have people been this upset when Brosnan was announced?

    He just said that he doesn't know, how many films that he would be doing?,
    and his body language, was that of a very nervous person, when he said it!!. ;)





    I'm sure he knows he's on shifty ground. Like I've said before; Craig's aware of the tremendous pressure he's under just to make par...

    I read his body language more along the lines of not wanting to discuss how many films he was booked for- look how quickly MGW took the question over.

    Maybe (hopefully) it's a one off!!

    and in 30 years time people (bond fans) will look back and say 2That is the best bond film of the series" like they do with Georg Lazemby and O.H.M.S.S

    Well since it appears to be a three picture deal, I suppose we have two more movies with Mr. Craig

    when asked what he thought about getting Bond:

    he said that the Royal Navy driving him at high-speed down the Thames: "...scared the sh*t out of him!".

    You star Craig!, you absolutely f*cking star!!!!.

    I imagine Haggis is furiously re-writing the script right now.

    "Bond races down to the South of France in his fast car? Actually, that sounds a bit scary. Maybe he should get the train - it's much safer. Tortured by Le Chiffre? Ooh, maybe he should just get a stiff telling off instead - don't want to frighten Jamesie."

    Craig, you tw*t! You're supposed to save the world, not soil your pants!

    At least Campbell was making the right noises - a "tougher, grittier" Bond with fewer gadgets and more characterisation, especially with respect to Vesper.

    So - right film, wrong Bond.

    Not unless he totally sucks...but then again who knows

    Oh my god Pierce this is like a mirror in the series to what happened with Lazenby.

    OHMSS - if only Connery had do this film

    Casino Royal - If only Pierce had done it

    One thing though remember connery came back for diamonds are forever !

    So I guarentee Craig will only do one film !

    She isn't getting a lot of camera time, unfortunately.

    Give the guy a break - he might just be ok - after all, the grittier Bond is what a lot of people have been waiting for. I agree that i'm gutted it's him, but he might just suprise us all. After all, flemming didn't like connery at first. Lets just hope the script is far better than DAD.....
