New Bond

Daniel Craig.

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."

Henry Cavill was screwed.

Was Daniel Craig in Layer Cake?

If not, I have absolutely no idea who he is.

[Evafreak]

He was indeed in Layer Cake as the main character, still though he's 38 not sure if thats too old or not to play Bond

[apsham]

THAT's 38?

He's sexy. Very much a "bad guy" face, though.

The guy who played Jesus should have been Bond.

[Summers]

Jesus was a Carpenter.

[tristy]

Jesus was a Jew too, what are you trying to say, RACIST.

[Summers]

I'm saying Jews are Carpenters.

If Jesus was a jew, why do the christians claim jews killed Jesus?

[apsham]

If Jesus was a jew, why do the christians claim jews killed Jesus?

They were all like "You're not the messiah" and he's all like "Ahuh" and they're all like, "Fuck you, you're dead."

[tristy]

because they're bigots.

[Summers]

James Bond could have saved Jesus.

[tristy]

I doubt it, his knees would have turned to dust.

[Summers]

Jesus would make him some wooden ones.

[MalaCloudy Black]

He'd make him some wooden ones out of wine.

I like how there's been more posts in this about Jews and Jesus then about Daniel Craig being Bond!

On to that, he's a meh choice for me. Wasn't overly impressed with him in Layer Cake, but he wasn't bad. Could have been better, could have been worse, I'll see how he goes.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I don't even know who Daniel Craig is. Bring Back Pierce.

[Summers]

Henry Cavill will be Bond in my heart.
