Yes, Danny Craig is XXXX from Layer Cake. Not a bad choice in my personal opinion. He was also in Tomb Raider, plus a fair few other things.

Have to agree with STi, he's one pretty ugly dude. James Bond has to be good looking.
Brosnan was gorgeous.

Bond films of late have more been focused on cheesey moody shots to make brosnan look good than anything else, this IMHO has killed the films.

maybee its time for an uglier, more down to earth bad *** bond?



Martini Mr Bond?

No thanks, bitter - and a bag of grannies toenails.

Look at the Bourne Supremacy to see how the new Bond films should be made. Now of this overhyped gadget cr@p..... a bit of espionage sp?

Saw Clive Owen in the Driver and Closer. IMHO he would have been an appalling Bond - no class, much more of an East End thug made good. Brilliant Kray, but crap Bond.

But that's 2 films, so maybe it's just his excellent acting for both of them?

Oh no! another Timothy Daulton. Should have been someone like Christian Bale.

Oh god forbid, I'd rather see Peter Kaye or Ricky Gervais do it than this council house looking Chav. IMHO Layer Cake was pants too.

Top actor. I reckon he could be the best one since Connery as long as the scripts & stunts aren't as far fetched as they have been of late.

I don't think he's too bad a choice TBH.

He's not a bad looking bloke, certainly better than a wrinkly Connery - Apparition you nutter.

I am a little concerned that he's a bit of a munchkin though. How tall is he?

Apart from the fact that Brosnan is a total pouter he never looked butch in the way Connery could.

Brosnan was a perfect Bond........all his films were wrecked with "special" effects......but the bloke looked like Bond was supposed to.

Layercake bloke looks like a baddies sidekick at best.

and Bond is not the Bourne films (although Brosnan might be more convincing as am ex special forces covert assain than 19 year old Matt Damon! (were did the CIA find him? recruit him from Nursery?)

I agree but I think they could go a bit darker with the Bond films. The last one started off well but finsihed up like a comic book story.

Clive Owen would have been a good choice IMHO. Think Daniel Craig would pass for bond.

Tiggs - Thats the main thing I can't swallow about the Bourne films. He just looks too young.

Connery - excellent and the original.
Moore - smooth and slimey, not how Bond was intended but his films are the ones I watch over and over.
Lazenby - was "ok". Only did 1 film so dunno.
Dalton - The best "Bond" of them all.
Brosnan - took the best assets of all of the previous actors.

Craig - is not a Bond.

Owen - could be, lose a little weight and the rest will come with the role....just watch croupier ffs!!!

I've just been told that Wogan is saying (on his breakfast show) that Brosnan is staying and that all the rumours have been hype.

Anyone know what's happening?
