Daniel Craig - right choice for 007?

[Two-Face]

Well?

[Masut]

Well no one can give a definate yes or no because we haven't seen the film yet. So far he's looking good as Bond. I've voted 'maybe' because I haven't yet seen his performance.

[Mentok]

At first I was against him (I wanted Eric Bana :o ). After seeing the latest pics and the footage of him I think they made the right choice.

[MUGSY]

I think he'll do a good job. Hes a good actor, and from the pictures that we have seen latley he's looking the part. So I voted yes.

[AndrewBerger]

Absolutely the right choice. He has the right kind of predator style that James Bond should have but while still maintaining a sense of suave and cool(See Munich & Layer Cake). In my mind he also resembles Fleming's basis for the character's looks, Hoagy Carmichael...

I wouldn't want anyone else.

[Carmine Falcone]

Yes

[TheFalcon]

I voted Maybe. I'm not sure yet. Pierce Brosnan is the perfect Bond for me so Craig has to be really good to make me like him.
I don't think I've seen him in any movies yet so I don't know what to expect at all. I could probably get used to yet another different looking Bond so it all comes down to how he plays the role.

I'll probably try to check out Layer Cake and maybe some of his other movies soon to see how good he is.

[Maxwinner]

i would vote yes if he had brown hair or black....


bond can't be blonde!

[Avalanche]

I reserve judgement until I've seen the film, so I've hit maybe.

[Kevin Roegele]

Absolutely. He has the same rugged appeal Connery had, he has the reserved charisma, and he has the perfect upper class accent.

[Maxwinner]

but he does not have black or brown hair!
BOND CAN'T BE A ****ING BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Two-Face]

Too late, he is.:o

[Maxwinner]

I won't see this as an bond film....to me it will be a bad action movie :down:

[CConn]

Personally I'm still undecided.

[Kurosawa]

Maybe. he's a hell of an actor, and I did get the feeling from Layer Cake that he'd make a good Bond...but until we see a trailer at the very least, it's too soon to tell.

If he doesn't make a good Bond, it won't be from lack of effort...I can tell that.

[AndrewBerger]

I won't see this as an bond film....to me it will be a bad action movie :down:

Opposed to the last 3 efforts we got?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

at this time in the world we need a darker Bond.. I think Craig will deliver this.

[johnsonuk]

we do not know until we see him.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

That i agree with but from the footage we have seen..i think he is going to handle it rather well.

:up:

[rdh007]

The jury is still out, but I'm cautiously optimistic. (The emphasis is still on "cautiously", though ;))

[johnsonuk]

That i agree with but from the footage we have seen..i think he is going to handle it rather well.

but the only footage we have seen shows action.Bond is more than action shots.i want to see him in a suit,looking the part and more importantly ACTING the part.

Ok i will rephrase,he has the action down.and we have seen him in a suit..i can't wait for the teaser. he looks the part.

i mean see him suit and tie(not neccasarily tux) actually on film.but i was impressed with that pic.

[DACrowe]

I think the script, plot and material (as well as premise) are all VERY good for this movie and so will Eva Green be.

So he'll do okay, but I still think he was miscast for the part though and that will show in the sequels.

Oh well.

I agree. I think what people really think is a good choice is the decision to return the series to its roots. Craig will be a decent choice in that he is going to be asked to play the character more as a tough guy, and for many fans that's enough.

But Clive Owen would've obviously been the best choice. He could've handled both the menacing and sophisticated aspects of Bond with ease. He also fits the traditional image people associate with James Bond, and was clearly the fan favorite.

Christian Bale would've also been a good choice, and one much closer to the Bond of the script. He also would've brought his own fanbase to the character- which notably includes the under-21 crowd. When you consider that EON claimed to be trying to attract a younger audience with this reboot idea, it doesn't make sense that they would cast someone who looks as old as Craig.

To be blunt, if either of these actors had been cast, no one would be upset that Craig was not.

[MUGSY]

i would vote yes if he had brown hair or black....


bond can't be blonde!

Hey at least he has some hair, rather than Connery when he had to wear a toupe in the later bond flicks.

[sithgoblin]

Absolutely. He has the same rugged appeal Connery had, he has the reserved charisma, and he has the perfect upper class accent.
Dead on about his voice.... it's amazing how hearing him talk makes him seem so much more suave.

[Scooter]

Craig's doesn't look like it will be any fairer than Moore's was...

[Masut]

Maxwinner, stop being one of those whiny crybabies. Everyone's over the hair colour thing now, and if you aren't then that's sad. Your loss if you won't go see the movie because of it.

[Super Flight]

I wish he had darker hair.....

[Blayton]

How hard would it have been for him to Change is Hair Color. Everyone keeps saying that Roger Moore also had Light Hair. He sucked so I don't know how this that is a defense.

Personal opinion then. Craig's hair is Blond and the movie is being filmed. Of course I would have liked it to be dyed but they didn't feel the need to. Can't do much about it now

[Jack Napier]

To all those who complain about Daniel Craig being blonde: do you have any idea how homosexual you sound sometimes? Granted, I'm sure many of the people who complain about the hair are women, but still, for those of you who are men, quit looking at Craig with metrosexual eyes and realize this: the guy is gonna be one badass James Bond. You know why it's a good thing Brosnan's gone? He was fierce at first, and he really tried to impress everyone in "GoldenEye", and he succeeded. But in the last one or two, he was too comfortable in the role. It's like playing James Bond was his retirement fund.

Daniel Craig is more determined to win people over than Brosnan ever was, and to me that merits respect.

I gotta say, you speak some truth there.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

What do you mean comfortable? He found his groove and he was good with it.

The problem wasn't Brosnan, who really is MY fave, it was the scripts and the muscial chairs played by directors.

[Maxwinner]

Moore did not have blonde hair....

he had friggin brown hair...


From wikipedia:
Roger Moore also sported a lighter sandy coloured hair throughout many of his films, however, he is not considered blond.

I'm not saying Craig will suck because he has Blond Hair. All i'm saying is Eon and Sony should have made him change his color for the role.

[Chaos Bringer]

oh. yes. he. is. He absolutely KILLED it in Layer Cake and he's got the right 'tude and physique for the role. This might be the best Bond yet...

Each actor played their own version of Bond. I happened to like Moore's.

I don´t understand why People think Craig is to soft to play Bond....he has a Body of steal and a very masculine Face,i´m sure he will give very much to the Character,particularly to the Action/Super-Hero and Playboy side of "James Bond".....Craig is for me a much more interessting Actor then this lame Ass Brosnon.

he gave Bond a fresh perspective.. he made him care.

Sorry I disagree about this, like Robocop said Brosnan made an iconic figure of Bond he's second after Connery if not first and he sold in the box-office.

Pierce Brosnan always be known as James Bond of the millennium to some public or some Bond fans and doesn't matter who plays 007 after him.

In 1995 after six-year gap, Bond was back with a bang and Brosnan playing the lead role. If GoldenEye flopped we would have waited even longer so thanks to Brosnan & producers of 007 we have CR look forward to in November 17th 2006.

Now we have Daniel Craig as Bond in my opinion he's wrong choice (not cos he's blonde) cos some of the roles he played aren't a Bond moments but I'm looking forward to how he will turn out as 007.

Brosnon did nothing special to the Character of James Bond....exactly like the other fools who played the part after the brilliant Sean Connery,but with the Cast of Daniel Craig i see light on the end of the Tunnel.Brosnan made him the smooth suave badass that he hadn't been since Connery.

Lazenby was just a fill-in. Moore was just blasphemous with his hammed-up Adam West send-up of Bond. Personally, for me, Dalton was incredible as Bond, much darker and more dangerous than Moore or Lazenby, and while I would have liked to see Dalton stay in the role, he also made a good set-up for Brosnan.

[chaseter]

Brosnan was awesome. My first choice was Clive Owen but our new Bond is looking good so far. Cannot wait to see the film and then I will decide.

[drunkhomer]

yeah i wanted clive owen...
at first i thought craig didnt suit bond cuz i jsut htought he was ugly...but now after seein sum pics wif his new haircut and after him buffin up a bit....i'l jsut hav 2 wait

I don't know, but I really hope he does a good job.

Despite you looking foward to craig as Bond, "some of the roles he played aren't a Bond moments" is one of the most stupid comments I've ever heard as an argument that acts against Craig. So, the roles he does in otehr movie should reflect some elements of Bond? No TF.:o

While I'm happy that Daniel Craig got the part, anytime I see a commerical for the DVD release of "Derailed", I'll be thinking "SHOOT, I Clive Owen to be James Bond..."

I think deep down, he would be a more universally appealing choice than Craig, but Craig is still good nevertheless.

I'd like to see Owen as 007 although it's debatable whether he has the charisma to entertain the audience for two hours.

You cant really judge a person if their right for a role from his past work. I bet some though Sean Connery was just boneheaded weight lifter. Or how the hell is Mel Gibson going to play a Scottish folk hero? Honestly its a real dumb argument.

You have no valid point here. Craig is an actor, its in his job description to act out a role he's given. If he's able to act the part why shouldn't he get the role. Think, man think.:o

[DarkPrince]

At first I was a little against Daniel Craig being the new Bond; as Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery will always be my Bonds. However, after looking at some pics and footage here and there, he might do alright.

When I first heard that Craig had been cast as the new Bond I just about soiled myself. No matter how well Craig "acts" like James Bond, he simply doesn't and never will have the all-important "look" of Bond. That fact is his parents' fault, not his. No matter how well he "cleans up", he'll be a joke. Casino Royale may turn out to be a decent spy/action thriller, but it won't be a James Bond film. Nice going EON......................

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Daniel Craig will be superb as James Bond. Whether his hair is the right colour or not, he has the smooth yet rugged, dangerous yet cool presence not seen since Connery. He certainly looks like he could take Brosnan down in an instant.

When I watched the interview, he gave the impression that he was nervous of saying it (he said something about trying it in the mirror but having to turn away) - he's well aware of how big a deal it is.

He also says that he's seen all the films at least 3 times each.

This guy is well aware of the legacy he has to live up to - I wish people would stop trying to fish for stuff that suggests he isnt taking this role seriously or he's only going to do a 'half-arsed' attempt at it. :mad:

Of course he'll say it in the film. They more or less said that in the very same interview.

[sithgoblin]

How do you think EON chose Daniel Craig then?
A screen test?

[SpyderDan]

I voted maybe.

I think Craig could do a really great job in the role. The real problem is that they cast guys like Brosnan and Craig as 007 and then they don't write the script to the actor's strengths. They can't turn Craig into something he's not.

[James"007"Bond]

Craig looks good enough and actually looks more realistic than Moore and Brosnan did as a trained spy. They've gone for realism here and thats what we'll get. Craig at some point will have a well groomed/smart/sophisticated look but we'll also see a rough, rugged look too because this is Bond's first outing and he's coming off his services with the navy and what ever else Bond did before he joined mi6. These new Bond movies will be all about the prgression of the Bond character and that is something you and many others fail to understand.

[James"007"Bond]

yeah..but he better say it..the fans are already screaming for craigs blood..

By the grace of God he'll say it and to make it even better they better play the theme tune when he does ala connery in Dr.No.

Its not always about writing a script to the actor's strengths. The actors make it their own and in this case, Craig hs stated that he'll make Bond his own character and thats great news imo because Craig is an awesome actor and he's well aware of what the Bond character is like, so all he'll hve to do is take the script, take what he knows about the character and use his great acting skills to deliver a performance that'll mke any Bond fan proud.

I agree that Daniel Craig is a good actor, and I'm sick of everyone already saying "this film's gonna suck!" WITHOUT EVEN HAVING SEEN IT.

Bond isn't just a look, he's an attitude. IMO Craig has the ability to not only take the Bond attitude as we know it, but make it his own, much like Pierce Brosnan brought a more weary, sardonic edge to 007.

I'm not worried at all, I think Craig's gonna do fine.

[D'Artagnan]

A screen test?

They have to choose people with Bond potential to screen test in the first place. They don't simply throw anyone into a screentest in the hope they'll miraculously be good.

"Who's next for the Bond screentest?"
"Oh, anyone really....John Goodman."
"Cool, can my dentist have a go? "
"Sure."
"It's a woman."
"I said sure."

James Bond can't be blonde!!!

You have no valid point here. Craig is an actor, its in his job description to act out a role he's given. If he's able to act the part why shouldn't he get the role. Think, man think.:o

That's brown hair in the sunlight.

[WhatsHisFace]

I don't care who says what. This guy isn't right for Bond.

Yeah, he's put a lot into this role, even losing his teeth.

That doesn't mean anything though. He just isn't right.

This. Youre saying he isnt right for the role because he doesnt look right. You mustve seen the movie to know he isnt right in the context of the film. Or else youre just not a fan of blondes, who play charismatic leads.

Maybe I just know that James Bond is a good looking spy and not a balding, wrinkly man and that no matter how good Craig is in this role, the movie could have been even better with attractive characters.

I don't need to see this movie to know that it has ugly characters. I can tell that by the cast list and a two-second Google Image search.

Ugly is subjective and its not always about looks. If youre calling Eva Green ugly then you need to get some glasses man. Daniel Craig isnt wrinly, its called rugged. And hes not balding either, he just chooses to cut his hair short.:confused: We have some top notch actors working on this, there are better looking actors yes, but id rather take talent over looks.

[WhatsHisFace]

So would I, but there are british actors out there who are both more talented and attractive than Craig. The guy's rugged, but not in a handsome way, and this movie's going to take a lot of heat for that, both from commentary and the box office.

I dont know, I dont check out guys or anything but a lot of women seem pretty fond of him. Im not talking about celebrity women, even though hes had his share, I mean suburban housewives with internet connections. They offered the role to ever British actor they could and they all turned it down. I wonder, have you watched Layer Cake?

[WhatsHisFace]

I unfortunately missed that one, but I've seen some of his other movies and he doesn't carry the charisma or the presense of the other Bonds. Casino Royale seems like it's trying to be "The Bourne" movies but Craig isn't even as cool as Matt Damon.

Matt Damon is cool? Either way the direction of the film isnt his fault. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Are you going to at least watch the film?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the Bond I'd most like to look like, aside from Connery, is Craig's. I think he's quite handsome and exudes an intense, raw masculinity that has been absent since Connery took his leave.

Furthermore, I don't know how you can say he's not handsome:

Craig's presence in MUNICH blew me away - he was just incredibly cool and charismatic. It was as if Steve McQueen had been reincarnated as a Brit. I think Craig can return some much needed presence and gravitas to the role with some genuine style after the hollow, "trying-to-be-cool-but-never-quite-getting-there" Brosnan Bond.

[Dark Knight]

Craig is in excellent choice......

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I hope he does good........however.....he's probably the ugliest Bond. Maybe 2nd to Dalton. No....I don't look at dudes that way......but Bond is a legenadary P.I.M.P., he's supposed to be a good looking dude. But, a trade here I suppose.

my only advice is to try to not think about it and then judge him on the film and his performance,that is what i and i have to say many many others are doing.if after that you still do not like it then at least you have grounds for your argument and no one can say you are wrong because it is based on your oppinion.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, that's true......judge when the film is released.

Til then though....it's fun to argue, though.

Craig *does* look good. He looks darn good. There's a raw masculinity and sex appeal there that really makes him stand out. (And you must be absolutely blind if you think Dalton was ugly.)

It always amazes me when people who slate Craig as not being Bond material say they haven't seen Layer Cake. Layer Cake is the prime reason why I (and a lot of others) think Craig will be a good Bond.

Go watch it and see if it changes your mind (even just a little).

[Brian Braddock]

I agree. Craig has this in spades. Raw masculinity and sex appeal is whats Bonds about - he doesnt necessarily have to look like a bloody male model!

[Warhammer]

I say possibly.
Give Daniel Craig a chance.

...Although I wanted Pierce Brosnan (Best James Bond) to finish his 5th movie before putting up the suit.

Snap. Prior to Layer Cake I only knew Daniel Craig from his amazing turn in Our Friends in the North (excellant series by the way) and wouldn't have thought of him as Bond for a second.

Then I saw Layer Cake, followed closely by Enduring Love. Layer Cake might as well have been subtitled 'Daniel Craig's audition to be James Bond'.

I've been saying Daniel should be Bond ever since then. He's easily the best actor of his generation, a generation that gave us the likes of Ewen McGregor, Rhy Ifans, Jude Law, Christopher Eccleston and Johnny Lee Miller. He'll be a great Bond.

I seen Layer Cake once in a cinema and I liked his performance but his no Bond material what so ever he looks more like a Bond villain than 007 but hey he's good actor I'm sure he'll do well.

[PhotoJones]

i think so

[James"007"Bond]

Have you actually looked at some of the on set pics? He looks like a Bond that has just got his 00 license to me. People need to understand the nature, premise and what the story is about before they stt bumping their gums.
Bond in this movie isn't supposed to be as smooth and as slick as we all know him to be at first. All of that will be seen as his charter develops during the course of the movie, you know, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

[Two-Face]

Sorry to say this but he's ugly.

[James"007"Bond]

If you think he's ugly then there's no need to be sorry about it.

[Amm-arD]

All i can say is thank god they didnt cast Orlando Bloom for a 'young bond'!

I think the script, plot and material (as well as premise) are all VERY good for this movie and so will Eva Green be.

So he'll do okay, but I still think he was miscast for the part though and that will show in the sequels.

Oh well.

I agree but we will see come November 17th.

[Kevin Roegele]

Craig kicks ass already. He has the smoothness and sophistication AND the macho appeal. None of the other 007s since Connery have had that.

I think he's going to be superb.
