Bond Fans Not Happy With Craig
Author : Jason Hahn
In the upcoming James Bond film, "Casino Royale," British actor
Daniel Craig will play the lead role of James Bond. This,
however, does not sit well with a group of James Bond fans, who
have launched a Web site, http://www.craignotbond.com.
A statement on the site said that "EON Productions angered fans
around the world when they fired Pierce Brosnan at the height of
his popularity as Bond. To add insult to injury, EON cast a
short, blond, odd-looking Daniel Craig in the role of Bond."
The site goes on to ask, "How can a short, blond actor with the
rough face of a professional boxer and a penchant for playing
killers, cranks, cads, and gigolos pull off the role of a tall,
dark, handsome and suave secret agent?"
The angry group of Bond fans have threatened to boycott "Casino
Royale" and any other Bond films that Craig will star in.
Though Craig may have a wounded pride from all of these
happenings, he does have a big supporter in his predecessor,
Pierce Brosnan.
"I think Daniel is a very fine actor. These are rocky waters,
and they're going to get him one way or another, but I think he
will have the last laugh at the end of it," Brosnan said.
Craig has had roles in "Munich" and "The Jacket." He accepted
the role of Bond last October, and filming for the movie began
last month in Prague. Last week the producers of the film cast
French actress Eva Green as Bond girl Vesper Lynd and Danish
actor Mads Mikkelsen as the villain le Chiffre.
