I think Craig is great and I can't wait for him as Bond! I loved Pierce too, but Craig will bring more of a hard edged dramatic weight to a role that needs something new. The whole take on Bond for Casino Royale sounds refreshing and has rekindled my interest in the character.

We, the undersigned, fans of Ian Fleming's James Bond, wish to protest against the casting of Sean Connery as the 007. Mr Connery is a working class Scot, a million miles away from the refined, cultured upper-class gentlemen agent of Fleming. His look is not at all as the writer describes, nor is his accent and already-receding hairline appropriate for the role. Mr Connery is primarily a television actor, with a shaky and unproven track-record in cinema, and we are certain his charisma - which, in interviews, seems non-existent, where he seems uncomfortable with the public demands of the part - will not prove strong enough on the big screen. Why has nobody approached David Niven, whom Fleming himself suggested? He has the refined manners and proven track-record we would expect from the silver screen's first 007. We hope you will consider this request in the spirit it was meant - an attempt to avoid disastrous mis-casting that will, we are sure, bury any potential franchise/sequel opportunities.

All for Craig as Bond. Was not overly impressed with Brosnan except in Golden Eye. In addition, Brosnan did not make Bond, Bond made Brosnan. (I hate greed)....the franchise will survive and the nay sayers will cave in and watch.

I'm still recovering after the "Munich" experience - have seen Daniel before, but his performance in this movie left me absolutely speechless. A terrific movie, and to me personally Daniel contributed most to that. He's so charismatic and talented and I just could not imagine anyone else as a new James Bond. A really perfect choice, which will definitely add a new dimension to the character. Just cant wait to see it. From now on - Im a loyal supporter of Daniel Craig!

Daniel Craig is a great actor. I saw him in "Road to Perdition" and "Munich". Those are two movies with great actors like Paul Newman, Tom Hanks and Eric Bana. But did Craig ever look bad next to these guys? No, because he's a great actor. Brosnan was a nice guy, but the movies with Brosnan were not realistic. A car that could disappear? I don't think that's what the Bond-fans are waiting for. It's good that they took Craig. That means they want a more realistic, back-to-basic 007. So please give us Craig, a dry Martini, a casino, some nice women and a 60's Aston Martin. And not another Moonraker.

I don's care what colour hair Daniel's got, he looks awesome. It's a bout time Bond got his balls back and Daniel Craig is the man for the job. You think you come out of the SAS looking like Roger Moore? No, Craig looks like he eats gunpowder and... passes... bullets. I applaude the comparitively daring casting choice and wish Daniel the best, not getting behind him his petty and pathetic.

Is it true? After all these forest rangers like Brosnan, Dalton and Moore now a serious Enemy?

Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond and brought a new dimension to the role and I think Daniel is an 'aspired choice'. He is very diverse, gorgously handsome, a great actor and completely different from Pierce - what would be the point in someone similar that would not bring anything new to the role. I am just delighted Daniel chose to accept the role and can't wait to see the film. Daniel - Do not be detracted by small minded individuals. Your a fine choice.

I've been watching Bond films since I was 8 years old. They're the only reason I ever mastered English the way I did. And now Daniel Craig is next in line... And I applaud the studio for their bold choice. JB is not just about looks (which differ from 'is he gay?' Moore to 'that's a man, laddie!' Sean Connery) but about playing a respectable 3D version of what has mostly been used as a 2D character over the past decades. To those of you boycotting: Have you ever SEEN Layer Cake? Bond is Back! Let's enjoy that, yeah? BTW love the site...

Couldn't resist the pun! Well.. it's simple. As a fan of 40 years standing and an appreciator of ALL the fine actors work.... They were all DIFFERENT! Roger vs Sean anyone? But it's all BOND. Craig is a great actor and change is good, whilst respecting the past. Look forward to what should be a great film! It's in good hands.

Finally we have a proper Double O Seven who will play it like Ian Fleming intended, more along the lines of Connery's forst 2 films...and people are complaining? Hugh jackman would have been a boring, samey Bond, he has a thick Australian accent 10 times more than Lazenby had (and he slipped his voice from time to time). He would have been a Brosnan clone, and sorry but Pierce Brosnan's Bond and films were just formulaic, yawn inducing tripe. I want a proper Bond.

I'm a visitor here from a parallel universe.On my 'Earth' the new James Bond film Quantum Of Solace has opened big to rave reviews.It stars Hugh Jackman and was directed by Christopher Nolan.When I landed here and found that Dan Craig was Bond on your world I made immediate plans to leave.That is after I stopped laughing.

There are so many reasons why Daniel Craig should be James Bond. First; his appeal is universal. He has been an actor who has play gay/straight roles, period pieces and all genres. He is talented and he is amazing to watch... Not to mention one of the truly must "hung" actors in Hollywood. Try Tom Cruise for that one...

Daniel only have the "first time" problem, as the others 007. Michael Gambon, who co-starred with current Bond actor Daniel Craig in Layer Cake and Sylvia, was asked by Cubby Broccoli to audition for the role in 1970 to replace Lazenby. Gambon spoke of the situation in an interview: When he told me he was considering me for the part of 007 himself, I was amazed. I objected, "But I'm bald." "So was Sean — we'll get around it." he replied. "But I've got breasts like a woman," I continued. "Then we'll use ice packs before the love scenes like we did with Sean," he replied. While initially skeptical about Connery being chosen to play Bond (at one point dismissing him as an "overgrown stuntman"), Fleming liked his portrayal so much that he eventually added background to the character in the novels so that his father was Scottish. Accounts vary wildly in regards to which actor was Fleming's initial choice for the film version of Bond. Sources have suggested that Fleming favored Roger Moore, James Mason, and Cary Grant, among others. According to Sir John Morgan, Ian Fleming's step son-in-law, Fleming favored little-known actor Edward Underdown, who played an Air Vice Marshall in Thunderball. Salutes from Mexico City

Daniel Craig is a superb actor whose style oozes with a subtle intensity. That very style makes him the perfect choice to play James Bond; it gives him a cool, calm, and calculated nature with just a hint of boyhood brashness- in my opinion, these are the quintessential traits for any outstanding Bond performance. Craig’s performances in his other works, notably Layer Cake, speaks for themselves and are a testament to the fact that he may very well be the finest Bond actor. He falls well outside the normal pantheon of those expected to play James Bond while at the same time manages to perfectly embody the role. His removal from the archetypical Bond persona is a crucial move away from the stagnant and rehashed previous outings of the suave super-spy. After all, any actor who is admittedly, and rightly so, afraid of guns and takes on the role of one of the world’s largest “action heroes,” proves that Craig is looking to put more into the tired role than just a considerable amount of spent ammunition. His admitted hesitation in taking the long sought after role shows his recognition of what has become of the Bond character over the years and hints towards his hopes of adding a much needed depth to a character which at its heart is very interesting. I feel Craig is certainly a fine enough actor to give possibly the most unique, most accurate, and most enjoyable performance as James Bond that there ever was.

Thank God there's another decent actor who's playing Bond! I loved Timothy Dalton as 007, and I'm sure Daniel Craig will play the part even better. I don't know why so many people are clung unto dear-old Pierce. His movie became extremer threefold with every time!

Daniel Criag is definitely Bond. He's cool, suave, handsome and a fantastic actor. www.craignotbond.com is a joke. Just because he doesn't have dark hair doesn't mean he can't do a good job. Casino Royale is going to be a blockbuster.

I just looked at www.craignotbond.com, and it really made me laugh! Daniel Craig is clearly one of the finest actors this country has to offer, and his casting as Bond is ideal. Although there is a lot of fuss about his blond hair, I can guarantee that 20 mins into the film, nobody will care. Happy brithday Daniel!
