Yes I have heard a bit about Daniel Craig being James Bond... sometime this week we should get the official announcement at long last. Daniel Craig or Clive Owen would both make very good Bonds I think, but still wouldnt have minded one more Brosnan. At least they seem to have canned the politically correct idea of a female or black Bond. That would have been fine if every new 007 was a different agent taking the number, but it isnt. It is still James Bond, sexist white male!
Of all the people who should have been Bond in their prime, Sam Neill was a glaring oversight. Though, imagine him alongside 007 as 004 or something for a couple of films!
Also, random idea I had the other day - I would love to see them do two Bond films that actually follow on from each other. Have a dark ending to one and the true conclusion in the other. The closest thing so far is simply having Jaws feature in two films, and the mention of his wife in a couple of films.
