Saw the King Kong trailer before Serenity. Gotta say, it looks good on the big screen.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.

Hey. New board.
I even liked him in Tomb Raider. I have no bad opinions about this choice.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I saw Layer Cake, and thought it was a preposterous bit of fluff, and that Craig was reasonably magnetic, but not all that. I've not seen him in anything else.
My prevailing notion is, though, isn't he a bit old? He's probably 40, and that doesn't leave a lot of time for an every-three-years Bond movie before the chest hair turns white and they retire him as they did Brosnan.
Still, he's obscure enough he won't get shirty over other roles, his interpretation of Bond, etc. etc. I'm sure the producers were keeping that in mind when casting -- a Hugh Jackman would have too much weight to throw around, and that's the last thing an aging franchise needs.

Art Crawl!!!
Nutty, one of my friends is upset because of his age too. She thought that they were going to be exploring Bond's early days with MI-6.
Of course, that could be a completely different project.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's 37, just like Hugh Jackman, younger than Clive Owen by about 4 years -- Goran's the only kid (at 33) whose name I remember seriously tossed about.

Hot Doctor Luka is only 33?
t feels old
I love Clive Owen, but he's a bit too rough for the role. And Goran--well. Not British.
