Bond is starting again from the start all over again, as we see with then new Bond Pick. He looks just like the first guy. That means more Bond movies, more Bond charectors, more everything. Thats why this pick is good. Im ready to ride the Bond train all over again!!!Brosnan messed it all up now we can do it again from the start in real Bong fashion. No more of this gamer Bond, we want substance and we got it with this pick.

He was really good in L4yer Cake too. I think its a promising choice. You just have to approach it from the perspective of not having any expectations.

Casino Royale should be great now. Craig looks like a real bloke, not some poncy fashion model like Brosnan. I’m a long term Bond fan, not just the films, but I’ve read all the books too. It would be unwise to film the novel as its written, though suspenseful, its low key, and there is no way the gruesome torture scene would make it past the censors. The best way to do it would be to borrow elements from the book but make it a little bigger in scope, even camp up the villain, Le Chiffre, a little bit. The director should watch the first six Bonds to get the right feel, and strictly no others.

I’ve only seen him in Tomb Raider and Road To Perdition, and a wee bit of Layer Kick, so it’s difficult for me to judge either. Although I wouldn’t mind Clive Owen, I think he has already became too, er, big, to be James Bond… being an Oscar-nominated actor and all. Better to get someone who is less well-known.

Daniel Craig is Bond?

That’s for the audience to decide I think.

It’s in Archangel, a made for tv-movie based on Robert Harris’ novel that made me think about Craig’s potential as the new James Bond. He should be great!

i think he’ll do a fantastic job as bond. if you need any proof, just watch layer cake, it shows his talent on so many different levels. and if you need even more, watch road to predition, he’s amazing is that. with all that said, i can’t wait to see the next bond.

Hey funnybunn, I agree! He does look like Steve Mcqueen, have yet to see Layer Cake though!

Meli, we can share Daniel of course. LOL Miss ya girl!

I hope that Craig will be the best Bond ever but he has a great deal of weight resting on his shoulders but more important is Martin Campbell. If he keeps the film dark and reality based than he stands a chance but if it is another special effects dissaster like the last Bond film than no matter how good Craig is as Bond he is just a puppet for the director to use. I hope they keep the movie real instead another video game like they were becoming. I don’t blame Brosnan I blame the directors and the producers for letting the franchise depart from Flemming’s Bond. I will certainly keep following the developments until the film is released.

Is it me, or did he look just like a modern day Steve McQueen in Layer Cake? I think he is great. Sexy, dangerous and witty. Blonde, James Bond is fine by me.

I like Daniel Craig and the fact that he’s not a huge name I think could be good for the Bond franchise. I think this news will upset a lot of people, but I’m actually happy about this. I was never a Bronson fan. I think Craig has that rough edge to give the boost this franchise needs. The last two Bond movies were kind of a snoozer for me, so I’m looking forward to how this next one will develop.
