It's official: Daniel Craig is the new James Bond! The actor has been signed to a three-picture deal starting with the upcoming 007 film, Casino Royale. I haven't yet seen any of Daniel Craig's movies so I can't pass my judgement on him. His filmography includes Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Road To Perdition. He is the sixth actor to play the role of the suave secret agent double-o-seven.
After a long 4-year hiatus since Die Another Day, they have finally moved ahead. Die Another Day, although a huge commercial success, was undoubtedly the worst Bond film ever. The director, Lee Tamarohi, and the extra defensive producers were responsible for that. Casino Royale will be directed by Martin Campbell, who has also directed Goldeneye (1995), Brosnan's first Bond movie.
It's sad not to see Pierce — "Pyrus" as Maddy calls him — as 007. He could have been there for a couple of more films.
Since the release of Dr. No in 1962, Casino Royale will be the twenty-first Bond movie. The shooting will begin from January, 2006 and is due for worldwide release on November 17, 2006. The director, Martin Campbell, has confirmed that Casino Royale will be a "grittier" movie — with more character, and less gadgets and technology: "However, the traditional key elements that had attributed to the success of the series would still be there in good measures."
