    Nope no way, who made that decision?

    I don't see a glimpse of James Bond in him!

      WTF I thought they wanted a younger bond...not someone who is nearly 40 years old?
      Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

        I could see him as a nemesis of Bond, but Bond himself? Heads should roll for this decision.

          LOL, I am 38 and I can still train in martial arts for 2.5 hours straight But I agree they should've selected someone yonger if they want the guy to last several movies without quickly showing his age.

          My vote would have been Clive Owen.

            Hey what are the odds of a Bond Girl?

            Like Kate in the PC game series No One Lives Forever

                They tapped Craig months ago, and IIRC he turned them down. Is this just another rumor?

                  That's because Hollywood has conditioned you to believe that all blonde people are evil. I do however seem to remember something from the books (haven't read them in 20 years tho) about JB having dark hair, but dye is cheap.

                  I can't remember seeing him in anything so I have no idea whether or not he would make a good Bond, but Clive Owen would have been a good choice, I think. Owen looks just like George Lazenby with blue eyes, and Lazenby was probably the best Bond ever.

                    Don't worry, with just a touch of make-up, good lighting and the right camera angle, it'll be fine...BOOBY implants, even better.

                        Well the point I was trying to make is in Casino Royal, Bond is in his late 20's, kind of a strech doing that with someone who is nearly 10 years old then that!

                          Rowan Atkinson looked more a James Bond character in Johnny English than this guy would...

                            Watch "Layer Cake". He'll be fine.

                              Leaks from the Bond producers say that Daniel Craig was far ahead of the competition.

                              According to them Hugh Jackman was "too fey", Colin Farrell "too sleazy", Eric Bana was "not handsome enough" and Ewan McGregor "too short" at 5' 10".

                              For those who don't know "fey" is slang for "fairly gay"; meaning a heterosexual male with homosexual stereotypical traits.

                              Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman is "too fey" ??
