They've announced the new James Bond. And he's blond. And I've never seen him in anything.
Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Looks like they're going back to the action-adventure Bond and away from the suave lover in a tuxedo .
Daniel Craig is more in the Sean Connery mold than the Pierce Brosnan. He has a tough persona, but he also played poet Ted Hughes in Sylvia, so he can do smart and passionate. I was very impressed with him in Layer Cake. He's one of those who doesn't look like much in pictures, but his intensity and voice and physicality make him very charismatic onscreen.
Saw the King Kong trailer before Serenity. Gotta say, it looks good on the big screen.
I'm actually pretty happy about the new Bond choice. I loved his character in Layer Cake. He'll do a good job of being believably dangerous.
I'm not sure why they're making a big deal out of his hair colour. It looks the same as Roger Moore's hair.
Daniel Craig!
I don't care really for the Bond franchise and cannot remember the last Bond flick I've seen, but I might just have to see the next one if he's going to be Bond.
I agree with Robin. He's not handsome in a conventional way, but in three films I've seen him in (Mother, Layer Cake, and Sylvia), he had an incredibly magnetic screen presence. Intense, a bit dangerous, and a generally sexy bag of sex.
I even liked him in Tomb Raider. I have no bad opinions about this choice.
He lloks like Steve McQueen a bit to me.
