Anyone who has not seen the movie "Layer Cake" shouldn't be posting in this thread. Rent it and look foreward to the best Bond movie in a while (That, or Hold'em really jumps the shark!)

Not only was he great in L4yer Cake, he does a great job in Munich too

The bond actors seem to go in cycles, from Bad ass Killer (Connery) to campy (Moore) back to Killer (dalton) and again back to campy (Bronson). Looks like the pendulum has shifted again. There's probably something to be said about the state of the world and popular culture at the time of each movie in that but i'm not going to take the time to analyze it.


For what its worth in my opinion Craig looks more like the Bond depicted in the books.

I just posted about L4yer Cake tonight, and I agree with the previous statements. At first I was annoyed with this selection of bond....but now I have to say I think he'll do a great job...

I really enjoyed Layer Cake a lot, and it made me like Daniel Craig and think he would be cool to see in some more movies.

He could definitely pull off the mean streak Bond needs to pull him into the modern age and away from the type of worn out silliness that Roger Moore started. Espionage actually has lots of potential to be really gripping and scary and dirty, and we could use a some of that in the Bond series. I look forward to having a Bond again who when he says he's going to break your arm, you start sh*tting bricks.

Who knows if Craig will fulfill that or if they will try to keep things going along the same silly arc it's been in for the last 30 years. Well anyway, we can hope.

Your opinion is wrong, then, because Craig looks nothing like the Bond described by Fleming.

I think Craig would do a great job, but as always, its going to come down to the script. Finding out that they are changing the setting from a bacarrat game vs. Le Chiffre to a Texas Hold'em tournament is a big red flag, for example. I'm fully expecting this film to suck.

In the books, one of the women describes him like 'Hoagy Carmichael' but crueller, and with darker hair, or something like that.

Here's Hoagy:

Just saw him in Munich. He doesn't look too much younger than Brosnan.
