Actor Daniel Craig has been confirmed as the new James Bond.



The English star of gangster film Layer Cake, who arrived at a press conference in London by speedboat, will play a tougher, grittier and darker 007.
"It's a huge challenge. Life is about challenges and this is one of the big ones as an actor," said Craig, 37, who will be the sixth James Bond.
He joked he "had a couple of Martinis" when he got the role. Casino Royale is due to start filming in January.
"We've got an incredible script and that's my first line of attack," he said. "Once I'd read that, I realised that I didn't have a choice. I had to go for it."
He admitted taking the role was a big responsibility but added: "I've just got to step up to the plate and deal with it."
Bond was "a huge iconic figure in movie history and these things don't come along very often", he said.
Director Martin Campbell said the 21st Bond film would be "definitely darker, more character, less gadgets".
Craig told reporters: "Together with Martin, I want to make the best film we can, the most entertaining film we can."
This is just terrible!!! Why oh why couldn't they give it to Clive Owen?

dalton rawked. it sucked they cut his run short. even odder being that he was a darker bond. L2K wasn't as much about taking down the bad guy as much as it was payback.

...i likes that.

this new guy is kinda mugly

If he's too dark, how about Christopher Walken ala The Continental from SNL?

This one shall rule them all, well except for sean. He was cool as ice in Layer Cake and will excel in the role as Bond.
