Members Roman Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 From This Is London: It's James Blond By Nicole Lampert, Daily Mail, Showbusiness Editor 11 October 2005 He has just proved his ladykilling credentials by seducing Sienna Miller from under the nose of his friend, Jude Law. Now Daniel Craig is about to become the biggest seducer of all - Ian Fleming's James Bond. The actor, who found fame as Geordie in the BBC series Our Friends in the North in 1996, got the job after an 18-month mission to replace Pierce Brosnan. Scores of others, including Law himself, Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom, were considered but rejected. In the end a shortlist of two emerged - Craig and newcomer Henry Cavill. The pair were auditioned again and tried on tuxedos to see how they would look in the quintessential Bond clothing. Craig, 37, whose choice will be confirmed by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson later this week, will be the sixth Bond, but the first blond. He will star in the 21st Bond film, based on Ian Fleming's first book Casino Royale. Craig has said he does not like the fact that the films are more about gadgets than feelings. He added: 'It's a big machine and it makes a lot of money - so why would you change something that makes a lot of money?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hartless Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 So I don't know who this is...um I'm glad they didn't pick Julian McMahon or Clive Owen. Still, no Pierce...I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OneLife Fan Posted October 14, 2005 Members Share Posted October 14, 2005 Never really cared for the James Bond movies. However i did enjoy watching Sean Connery. HHmm..that man was simply gorgeous when he was younger. He STILL is a handsome looking man for an older man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted October 14, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2005 Personally, I feel that they should just end Bond. They're reaching now, trying to come up with really wild ideas for each movie. How many times can he save the world? And, they won't bring it into thge 21st Century.

Members razor32always Posted October 31, 2005 Members Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm so bummed that Pierce isn't still Bond. I wish the new guy luck because he has some pretty big shoes to fill. Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
