The new James Bond! — Forum Archive

12 Oct 2005, 03:41

I don't know if I should laugh or cry... They seem to have chosen Daniel Craig as the new Bond.

12 Oct 2005, 03:44

I was hoping for Michael Moore.

12 Oct 2005, 03:45

Isn't DC a bit short?!

12 Oct 2005, 03:47

He will become the first James Blonde :laugh: . Perhaps next week it's another chosen one. I'd have preferred Dougray Scott or Clive Owen.

Not that you think I made that up by myself...

12 Oct 2005, 04:21

I think Daniel Craig is a good choice. Ok,so he's blonde,but 007 has become a parody of itself now anyway and needs a kick up the arse! He was good in Layer Cake,and i think he'll bring something new to the franchise.

They need to make it more grounded-invisible Astin Martin for fucks sake?-let him take a kicking,give him a normal car.

The only other person i could see doing it justice would be Gerald Butler,but i think Craig would be the better of the two.

12 Oct 2005, 04:38

Its down to one of these two.

12 Oct 2005, 06:20

Clive Owen would've been good for Bond

12 Oct 2005, 06:23

At last everyone is better than Timothy Dalton :lol: .

12 Oct 2005, 06:26

Dammit, I knew the producers would ignore my headshot :banghead:

Never heard of the guy (which could be a good thing, or he could be the new George Lazenby). I thought Colin Firth might make an interesting choice, but I'm not in charge of the Bond franchise. Maybe that's a good thing... :shrug:

12 Oct 2005, 06:28

George Lazenby was cushty.

but because he was (still is) an Aussie, er...

Check out Layer Cake.

He is also in the first "Tomb Raider" movie if I remember right.

And I saw him in a very good TV-Movie based on a novel called "The Ice House" (1998).

i'll hang my head in shame, but i thought Timothy Daltons bond films are the best ones.

Six foot on the mark.

But I didn't know I was in the running.

Probably need to shave my goatee and lose the accent but if George Lazenby can do it...

:\pimp3:

Lazenby was just a bad actor.

An Aussie could nail the role, there were three in the running last I heard.

Daniel Craig doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. Loved Layer Cake but I'm not sold on it.

The idea of Casino Royale is to re-create the franchise with a Bond aged in his late 20's learning the trade. Craig looks too gruff and doesn't have the hair.

Perhaps a wig will do :evil4: .

14 Oct 2005, 05:57

It's official!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4337224.stm

Pierce is no more..........

:cry: :cry: :baby: :cry: :cry:

14 Oct 2005, 05:58

Its offically Daniel Craig. He arrived at a press conference in a speed boat,from the Thames in London this morning. A good choice i think.

14 Oct 2005, 06:11

I think that Stellan Skarsgård should be the new Bond :)

Or Peter Stormare

:evil4:

14 Oct 2005, 06:26

...is from merseyside inee?

Peter Stormare were in Fargo.

Stellan in one Lars von Trier film, with Bjork. Can't remember the title.

They're both swedish

14 Oct 2005, 06:34

Peter Stormare

14 Oct 2005, 06:35

Oh please... You all know Peter Stormare... He's one of the "Boy I've seen that guy somewhere before".

(Take e.g. "Fargo" or "Armageddon")

Oops, Rian you were faster in defending your homeboys...

14 Oct 2005, 06:36

Stellan Skarsgård

Of course.

14 Oct 2005, 06:37

I liked Skarsgards performance in "The Glass House"

14 Oct 2005, 06:40

I was rooting for Johnny Vegas. With the ITV Digital Monkey playing the chief villain.

14 Oct 2005, 06:54

Well folks give Mr. Craig a chance...

14 Oct 2005, 12:13

Apparently they WANT him to keep the blonde hair.

Well... Roger Moore wasn't that dark haired...

14 Oct 2005, 15:47

I wonder why nobody in Hollywood had the idea yet to do a movie with all James Bond actors together :D

15 Oct 2005, 02:16

George Lazenby has a guest role as James Bond in the Man from U.N.C.L.E.-revival-movie "Thunderball". (I'm a big MFU-fan :crazy: )

15 Oct 2005, 02:34

First offical picture.

The Daily Mirror are Hitting into mr Craig already calling him James Bland....oh dear, they're not fans then.

Can't say i'm that overwhelmed by the choice either but as i've never seen him in anything maybe thats why,

As long As Dame Judi's in it or even better they could get Patrick Stewart in as something,maybe S? Or maybe thats pushing it a bit too far.

No, you can't have a blond Bond! Come on now! I think they should make him dye it or give him a wig or something.

Why didn't they ask Patrick to do the Bond? :evil4:

15 Oct 2005, 09:43

Who is this guy ? HE'S UGLY !

Bond's not supposed to be ugly!!! He's a womanizer... and this guy just can't be one!

I really wish they had picked Colin Firth or Jude Law. They would have been more credible in that role, I think.

Ah, well... I'll give the guy a chance anyway. :evil:

i've asked myself that very same question!

By the way Mr. Stewart, I think that having Optimus Prime as an avatar is a very cool thing.

:bow:
