The 6th 007...



Well this is somewhat like a preview, in addition to my venting of the anticipation I have to watch Daniel Craig, leaving all homosexual feelings aside. Doesn't it excite everyone to see a heavily battered and initially criticized blonde dude actaully go against all odds and finally end up with the prospect of being of one the best Bonds ever?

Yes, the critics, as in the ones that mainly criticize everything, have actually framed Daniel Craig to be the best Bond since Connery, after intitally writing him off completely. Hypocrites. Quoting ANI, "Craig makes Brosnan look a bit girlie in comparison. " Really? I was quite a fan of Pierce (Brosnan).(Read this ANI article) Apparently, Craig portrays a much more Ian Flemming-envisioned Bond: strong, aggressive, gritty and really really cool. The trailer for Casino Royale is half-impressive - not bad. It leaves you full of anticipation. (watch trailer above)

Daniel's husky voice, good looks, blue eyes, one hell of a built frame and apparently his ability to kiss(don't ask - just read this) should leave all you girls drooling, especially after he kicks some bad-guy ass. There is this one shot, which is also there in the trailer, where he walks out of the sea in his skimpy underwear, exposing his this hunky body (similar to Halle Berry's infamous orange-bikini 'Die Another Day' shot). Dream on girls.

Anyway, keeping all that aside, personally I can't wait for Casino Royale to hit the theaters. For us guys, this year's Bond-Babe is Eva Green. She is pretty hot. See below:


But hey, I am still more excited about Daniel Craig. :P

And for all you people living in Dubai, check this out: Casino Royale is releasing in Dubai before worldwide release. Can you believe that? Brilliant.

Casino Royale Release Date - UAE - 16th November, 2006
Casino Royale Release Date - Worldwide - 17th November, 2006

It's too early to comment, but to me, Craig does not look like the ideal James Bond..(that's what everyone is calling him these days!! how???). I guess we'll soon see....

Bet it left you drooling too...

Craig doesn't have the "Bond-ness" about him. I don't think he'll be a great Bond.

i hated what they said against daniel craig. i think he'll be a brilliant james bond. even tho ive never like the bond films much (dont kill me!) but i never like pierce brosnan.. he was too perfect looking. daniel craig is sooo rugged and gorgeous! and hes a decent actor, too. nice change to have a blonde bond. cant wait!

Cmon man..I think Pierce Brosnan suited the role of 007 perfectly. Ok...not better than Sean Connery, but he was pretty good!!

Daniel Craig was the worst possible choice to be Bond!

Craig is downright ugly and he's not even a very good actor either.

Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond since Sean Connery, and he should have been brought back for a couple more Bond films.

He can't drive the car, he got his front teeth knocked out, and well, he just ain't that cute.

On this i would really agree with Anjali that Pierce Brosnan suited the role of 007 perfectly... he was hot! he had the looks... that charm .. that sophistication .. he had what it made to be a true bond .. my opinion!

As for Daniel Craig...hmm ..not really turning on material.. would he make a good james bond? that only time will tell.. trailer looked good. He seems to have pulled it off decently... one of the best? i dunno (maybe i wont be just because i have a soft spot for Pierce Bosnan)

Nevertheless, cant wait to watch Casino Royale!

ello Anish! Having heard about Ewan Mcgregor turning down the part, i was immediately certain the u;timate choice would dissapoint me, although after I saw road to perdition I realised something else. Daniel Craig isn't the best looking guy in a photograph, however he IS in fact a versatile actor, and if im not mistaken, the producers wanted to perhaps add some depth to the movies. So far theyve only portrayed our fantasy to be a spy. (I'd like to say our fantasy to be every1 else's fantasy) I think this movie, atleast from the way the trailer's gone, and the fact that they're remaking the first one, I think they'd maybe like to show Mr. Bond as a person and not just an alpha male. A far mroe realistic approach i'd say. Mind you this is all guess work based on the fact that Craig has more than one style of acting quite unlike Brosnan(not that i didnt think he was awesome)it's always nice to see how people take to what is perhaps te closest mainstream Hollywood can get to a Hindi movie.
Tic Tac Toe!

Then again Harry, isn't that what Bond stands for...The alpha-male, the ladies man...Craig seems to me as a metro. - he doesn't fit it. Watch the other Bond's in action and you'll see what I mean...
