Actually ANYBODY rather than that blond guy!Haven't met anyone who liked this new Bond movie and if they don't wake up soon,they're gonna kill this great spy nove/franchise.\n\n Hugh Jackman would be perfect,screw the being British requirement.For me anyone who can portray an action adrenaline-driven,dark but righteous,lonewolf mutant can play pull off a suave,dashing,secret agent blindfolded!

I believe he is making a new film that should be out in 2007 with Kate Hudson at least that's what I read in my people magazine.  I can't wait to see him again in a movie either he is to gorgeous to be hiding away.

it really depends how old you are the same question has been going on for like 50 years about James Bond 007. I personaly think Christopher Reeve is the REAL super man but some that is 17 years or under might think other wise.      And just for arguments sake Shean Conery is the REAL 007.

James Bond was created by author Ian Fleming and remains one of the most famous secret agents in modern fiction. \n\n\nBond is a cool, handsome, dangerous agent for British Intelligence; his code number, 007, indicates that he has a "license to kill" in the line of duty. Bond travels the globe and uses his wits, fighting skills and a grab-bag of high-tech gadgets to battle super-villains often bent on world domination. (The gadgets, which played only a small role in Fleming's early novels, became a Bond trademark in the movies.) A few of Bond's personal traits have become famous, including his preference for martinis made with vodka and "shaken, not stirred," his use of a Walther PPK handgun, and his habit of introducing himself as "Bond... James Bond." Fleming wrote about Bond in a series of novels that ran from 1953 to 1964, including Casino Royale (1953), From Russia With Love (1957) and Goldfinger (1959); later the series was carried on by authors John Gardner and Raymond Benson. The popular Bond movie series began with 1962's Dr. No and extended into the 21st century, with Bond played by a string of actors including Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

I agree.  I think Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Jackman are total babes.

i  agree  he  doesnt  look  like  a  james bond the way roger moore did (in my opinion the best james bond) \nhe gives the impression of being a fiery character , bond is cool , non-chalant , confident , and disinterested .\ni personally think he only got cast after he played an israeeli commando in (munich)

Was the other one, Pierce Brosnan, able to drive a stick shift? Anyways, I can't believe they picked Daniel Craig. And they are probably going to get rid of the corny one-liners and jokes that make the movies a Bond movie. They plan on doing a serious Casino Royale> That's the worst idea in the world!

I totally agree.  I'm not a live and die Bond freak, but, I'm a fan.  Craig doesn't look like a Bond.......James Bond.  What were they thinking.  Bond is supposed to be suave and handsome.  This guy's not even close.

I saw this at a cast and crew screening in London last weekend: I'm not a huge Bond fan, but I do enjoy them on a purely popcorn level and this was definitely one of the best in recent memory. The tone is much edgier and nastier than the Brosnan movies, harking back more to Dr. No or For Your Eyes Only. The action sequences are brilliantly shot and edited for maximum impact and are some of the best out of any Bond movie. Martin Campbell, who also made 'Goldeneye', was an excellent choice and, for me, is one of the best Bond directors. What gives this the lead over recent Bonds is the more realistic feel: the exotic locales, fast cars, spectacular action, beautiful women and many other Bond hallmarks are all here but gone is the campy tone that marred, say, Die Another Day. Yes, the whole franchise is based on an entirely ridiculous and cartoonish notion but the more serious and harder-edged tone works really well here. In this context, Daniel Craig gives an excellent performance as Bond. I'll be the first to admit that I raised an eyebrow when I heard he was cast but he really makes it his own. It's hard to say whether he's better than any of the other Bonds: Connery and Brosnan felt right for the style of Bond movies they were in. Here, as suits the overall tone of the film, Bond is much more of a sadist, a cold-hearted killer with very little sense of empathy and Craig, with his piercing eyes, suits the role very well. He's charming and funny when required and totally convincing in the action sequences. The violence is less cartoon-like and flippant, too, with every punch, kick and shooting looking like they really hurt. Also, the story is just much more engaging than many a Bond film; the script's not going to win awards but it's consistently inventive and intriguing. Whilst the film has enough of it's fair share of action, the emphasis is equally on character and storyline and less on gadgets and sheer implausibility. When there isn't a huge action sequence happening, you don't miss it: the film's longest set-piece, the poker game at the Casino Royale, is as (or not more) gripping and entertaining than any of the chases and shoot-outs. The only minor gripes that I have are a slightly too long running time: the film drags a wee bit towards the end and, although it helps the tone of the film, we don't hear enough of the Bond theme tune! However, great directing and performances from everyone involved, along with Phil Meheux's excellent cinematography, Peter Lamont's as ever superb production design and all the other top-notch craft and technical departments make 'Casino Royale' a classy and very enjoyable night out at the movies.

Mike Myers wants to create another Austin Powers outing and suggests that the timing is getting near, especially considering there is going to be a new Bond...possibly...sometime...From Entertainment Weekly through Coming Soon:\n\n"There is hope!" says Myers about the popular comedy franchise. "We're all circling and talking to each other. I miss doing the characters." The first three films have earned a massive $675 million worldwide, so New Line Cinema is probably looking forward to another installment as well - and what better time than with a new James Bond movie on the way?

James Bond is good - a bit of boyish fun and violence but still teaches them respect and good manners! A hero for life! And he always gets the girl - that can't be bad!

The original James Bond - and arguably the best - was Sean Connery, who accepted a license to kill from 1962 to 1971, plus a final "unofficial" Bond film in 1983. His Bond movies included "Dr. No" (1962), "From Russia with Love" (1963), "Goldfinger" (1964), "Thunderball" (1965), "You Only Live Twice" (1967), "Diamonds are Forever" (1971) and the 1983 version "Never Say Never Again."\n\nActor George Lazenby was the second James Bond and starred in only one film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969. In that movie, Bond got married, only to become a widower by the end of the flick. Lazenby couldn't live up to the larger-than-life Connery Bond and backed out of a seven-year contract to do more Bond films. Producer Albert R. Broccolli asked Connery to return to the role and paid him $1.25 million plus 12.5 percent of the film's profits. Connery was back.\n\nSean Connery passed the torch to Roger Moore, who donned the Walther PPK in his first Bond film, "Live and Let Die" in 1973. Roger Moore became the quintessential James Bond for a new generation, playing 007 for 12 years. His films consisted of: "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974), "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977), "Moonraker" (1979), "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), "Octopussy" (1983) and "A View to a Kill" (1985). Regrettably, according to some critics, Moore overstayed his welcome - playing the role well into his 50s.\n\nActor Timothy Dalton replaced an aging Roger Moore in the release of 1987's "The Living Daylights." Dalton's James Bond was originally supposed to be played by Pierce Brosnan, but NBC renewed his contract for a fifth season of "Remington Steele" and Brosnan was out, at least for a while. Dalton signaled a return to a more rough and tough Bond style. However, public reaction to Dalton as Bond was somewhat mixed. Dalton's only other Bond film was "Licence to Kill" (1989). Dalton left the role prior to his third film, which was scheduled to be shot then released in 1991.\n\nPierce Brosnan got a second chance at Bond-dom in 1995 when he starred as Agent 007 in "Golden Eye." Brosnan was a hit, and many argued that he was the best Bond since Connery. Brosnan played Bond three more times: "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999), and "Die Another Day" (2002). Brosnan was reportedly fired from the role prior to his fifth film as Bond.\n\nThis brings us to the sixth, and most current Bond, 37-year-old actor Daniel Craig. On Oct. 14, 2005, Craig was named the new Agent 007. He'll reportedly star as Bond in Casino Royale, scheduled for release next year. Craig is the first blond actor to play Bond and only the second Englishman (behind Moore) to star in the role.

Without a doubt.  He is a breath of fresh air to the Bond Series!!!

Yes, I seen him in a movie a few days ago.  He is gorgeous.  There was a question about Tom Cruise being so sexy.  Dermot's got him beat by a mile.  Dermot is a real doll.  He's not real popular yet, but I bet in time he'll be one of the sexiest men alive.

I think they are Christopher S. Bond  and James M. Talent. Here's a link, I'm not sure I understand it though.

I think he's going to be great. From the photos and little footage available so far, Craig has the goods to be an excellent Bond, closer to the Ian Fleming novels. \n\nAudiences will have to leave their preconceptions of the movie-Bond at the door though, and many may not be open-minded enough to do that. I suspect that "Casino Royale" is going to be excellent.
