The BBC reports of Daniel Craing being the newest actor to play the three numbers we all know so well, 007:
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.”
It’ll be really difficult for this guy to follow in the footsteps of Pierce Brosnan, but time will tell if he pulls it off. I for one will be eagerly anticipating the newest Bond Flick, Casino Royale.
