Casino Royale Trailer

I think I am the only person on the planet excited about Daniel Craig being the new Bond (well besides Daniel Craig himself). I have been a big fan of his for a long time . . . and you just heard his name 6 months ago when they announced him as the next 007. The fact that they are making a prequel makes the movie that much better, to witness the transformation from random agent to the best. My biggest problem right now - they have him signed, filmed the first movie, now they are going to make him gay, or at least explore that option. GIVE ME A BREAK! It's James Bond, they can't do that. "We don't want to ignore our gay Bond fan base." Well ignore them, because he isn't gay!

So whatever, do what you want, I will still be excited for Casino Royale!

this is the first i've heard of the gay Bond rumor...i seriously hope that's a sick joke. not that it's sick because it's homosexuality....it's sick because it's BOND. i mean, c'mon...if they were gonna do that, they'd have done it with Connery, a dude who could quite easily have swung both ways...


but yes, i was thrilled that Daniel Craig was going to give Bond the much, much-needed facelift it required...after Brosnan turned him into little more than a caricature (i still say that Timothy Dalton was just in the right place at the wrong time). just seeing Layer Cake makes me sure that Craig will do it justice...as long as the writing follows suit. the only one of the last few Bond films i can bear to watch is 'Goldeneye'....but that's only because 1) the villain was Sean Bean, and 2) it was the only villain in recent memory to actually have an interesting story.

gah...i was pretty excited about this until you mentioned the gay thing. i just hope there aren't a lot of one-liners about 'bond-age' and crap now...
