The new James Bond

[kiwishaq]

It's official, Daniel Craig will be the new James Bond for the upcoming 'Casino Royale' movie.

Should be interesting, a blond James Bond. Hmmm....

Daniel Craig name as first blond Bond

My name is Blonde...Jamesd Blonde. Actually I wonder if they will dye his hair. I think it's a good choice. He is a throwback to the early Connery days and will take the series in a different direction. Like Batman Begins did for Batman.

 

[kiwishaq]

Yeah, I'm hoping for a new direction. Bring back a bit of Sean. Connery was definitely the definitive Bond. I guess we'll have to take a wait and see approach to the hair colour...

Well, I think they maybe making a mistake....I hope they don't kill the whole franchise. I don't think he has the right profile (he's relatively obscure), the right charisma (he came across as a total prat in the press conference), even the looks to be Bond. Unfortunately, they turned down my application....

 

[ArmouredSaint]

what a bummer.hoped for the clive owen dude.much more bond like.this guy was in road to perdition.agree,they've made a mistake.what do the ladies think though? this guy has average looks,no suave one here.

Clive Owen didn't want to be involved in the Bond franchise. He didn't want to be typecast as Bond. I hear they're abandoning alot of the commercial formula from the upcoming "Casino Royale" and make it more gritty. Make it more like a spy-thriller. Seems like Fleming will be dancing in his grave.

Well, as far as being obscure, you have to remember that Pierce Brosnan had only done about two well-known movies before he did Goldeneye, mostly he did TV series.

I was skeptical at first, but now I think Daniel will do a fine job as Bond, I'm not really sure how much charisma you need to have, I've always viewed Bond as a not-extremely-likeable guy and from what I've seen of Daniel, he can pull off the not-extremely-likeable characters.

Now I'm just wondering if/when they're going to dye his hair.

 

[Kellen]

Never heard of him.Daniel,who?

 

[Meriadoc]

I think a lot depends on how well the film does. If it fails, he will likely not be asked back.

I'm tired of James Bond changin' so often They can cast pee wee herman for all I care.

hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!1 would he be going after the villain who traumatized the playhouse?

 

[WalkOn]

Even though Daniel Craig doesn't seem like the typical bond is a very good actor. If you want to see why he got the job just watch Layer Cake. He was pretty good in that and has a bond like presence in that film. But for sure I will miss Brosnan as Bond, he was the best since Connery.

 

[Fangtastic]

james bond films bore me.maybe if they cast Arnold I'd be moved to watch.


I did like that video duran,duran did though! that was enough bond for me.

 

[Snoofles]

hahaha!!!!!!!!! yeah, Katie got die another day the other day...i couldn't pay attention worth anything.

 

[WalkOn]

Unfortunately Die Another Day wasn't the best Bond film...the best in the Brosnan era are Golden Eye and Tomorrow Never Dies. But Die Another Day is definitely better than The World is Not Enough.
