English actor Daniel Craig has been chosen to replace Pierce Brosnan as the next James Bond. Craig, who is the first blond Bond, will take on the iconic superspy when filming for Casino Royale begins in January. The 37-year-old beat off competition from Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman and unknown actor Henry Cavill to star in the movie directed by Martin Campbell - who worked with Brosnan on Goldeneye. Craig said at today's press conference in London, "It's something else. I'm speechless. I've just got to step up to the plate and deal with it. I had a confidence about it but then that's because of the people around me who made me feel good about it. I knew positively on Monday. I was in Baltimore when I took the call. My first reaction was I needed a drink."

that's the fuckin worst pick they could have ever made. brosnan and connery are the only good bonds. this guy looks like a pansy, not james bond.

He's gonna need a whole lotta sterioids to buff up to look like he can hurt someone.

Hes about a good a Bond as George Lazenby

I thought the same thing when I first heard about this last week.

Looking at his filmography, I noticed there a couple things I would have seen him in (Road to Perdition, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), but I certainly don't know him by name.

I just hate how there's too many James Bond movies. And they all have "in your face" titles.

JAMES BOND. TOMORROW NEVER COMES.
JAMES BOND. DIE ANOTHER DAY.
JAMES BOND. YOU DIE NOW, OR LATER?

Like.. christ, how many times can evil USSR get ahold of something they shouldn't?
MoshNet
This guy just doesnt look tough.

bizzy bone for bond, bizzy bone for president. wtf? bizzy bone for everything?
MoshNet
Haha, I know. Bizzy bone is super duper.



Now, talk about bad ass. Bizzy is lookin' super tough there. I mean cmon' he isn't lookin ' all nonchalante for no reason. You know why he's in the pose ? He's chilled, but you fk with him, and hell bring you a beat down. He knows he's bad ass, and he dooesnt have to prove it. Plus, he can bust out with awesome raps while hes kickin villian ass. I vote him for James bond for sure.

And if he were president...

joking around in one thread is cool, but saying the same thing multiple times is just annoying.

anyway, yeah this guy sucks. he doesn't look like a bond dude.
MoshNet
I was being funny, it was relevant, that bizzy isnt near Bond material either, and infact if he was casted as bond, it be funny as hell. His hair, his overall appearance...

I only said one other thing about him in a complete different forum.

And man cmon, why even say anything, if your tired of it, just skip reading it and go to the next comment. It wasn't like I was being jared_good.

Ironically, you just named last 2. I do hope you're aware that James Bond is a francise that's been in existance since 1961. And even in the 2 accurate titles you named, USSR wasn't even involved.

Die Another Day was North Korea.
Tommorrow Never Dies involes a media mogul who can't pentrate China's media market
The World Is Not Enough involves a greedy oil tycoon.

Name me another movie series that has lasted 21 (+ 1 unoffical) movies.

Although..this may the bullet in the heart. Aside from a horrible casting choice, and horrible plot outline...

According to BondMovies.com....

-Q and MoneyPenny will not be in Casion Royale
-"definitely darker, more character, less gadgets" - Director Martin Campbell
- M will be in the movie, but Dame Judi Dench is not confirmed for the role
- Wilson also revealed work had already started on the 22nd James Bond film, which would be Craig's second as 007.





Frankly, this is a surefire way to blast a hole in the whole franchise. Moneypenny was a staple bond character. And Q....the original Q, Desmond Llewelyn, who was in all but 2 bond movies until his retirement/death. You can't cut Q out. They tried it once in Live and Let Die, and the fans were so pissed that that they brought him back right away. One of the best things about Bond movies was the Q/Bond relationship.

"What's this?" "Don't touch that 007" "Why not" "That's my lunch"

Oh well....This is like Joel Schumaker taking over the Batman series. Lets make it fruity and gay
Devil McDunnough
at least they did the smart thing and kept Quentin Tarantino from being the director, although if he was Pierce Brosnan would have been in it. can you imagine what the movie would be like with Tarantino as director???? wacko.gif
Hasin
lol it would be 007 with Swords! ohmy.gif

I think Daniel Craig was an OK choice for Bond. Let's face it, he's still got time to beef up for the role, and not to mention, it's not his muscels that make him Bond, but his gadgets, and I'm sure he'll have some kick ass new ones for this film. It's been too long since the last Bond film. I must say though, at least it's a Brit again, not someone trying to look like a Brit.
PIETER
Yeah, he looks allright.

Let's see if he can beat Sean Connery.

Hehe, no-one can beat old Connery.

Connery was propably the best, and Brosnan 2nd. Let's just hope this Daniel Craig, can entertain us as much as previous ones.
bd55
he does not look very James Bondish to me...
