First Casino Royale footage

Okay, a ton of Casino
Royale stuff popped up online and, like me, I know you're probably itching for more Bond. First up, the BBC has
posted the first footage from the set, featuring behind-the-scenes clips of Daniel Craig kicking ass, shots of the new bulked-up Bond on a
beach in the Bahamas, as well as the boy's bad-ass stunt training.
Since the quality of that footage isn't brilliant, you may want to check out ExtraTV's visit for another behind-the-scenes look alongside interviews with the cast. Unfortunately for those of us (quietly raises hand) holding onto that rumor about Daniel Craig and a certain little full frontal scene, the actor squashed the idea by saying it would hinder the rating of the film. Darn! And about those savages petitioning for Craig's removal as the next James Bond? Well, the actor says that if they still feel the same way after the film, well, then "screw em!"
Finally, The Sun published the first official publicity stills for Casino Royale. You can check out a scanned pic of the entire page here, while you can go here, here and here for closer looks.

Why have people got such a problem with Daniel Craig, i think that he will make a great James Bond, just looking at him he has that mean moody look that i think that this character has been needing for a while now

I agree, Daniel Craig is a great actor (LayerCake!) and I like his brooding silent badass thing. Brosnan was also great and Casion Royale may end up being a step in the wrong direction (the youth demographic push?) but there is nothing wrong with Craig as Bond. The thing that made Connery the best Bond was his ability to go from smug smirking to ultra hardcore serious spy in an instant, Craig can do that, and that is what the franchise needs again!

I wasn't so sure about him until I happened to catch Sylvia this week. He had a wonderfully deep voice and managed to barely contain a smoldering passion in some scenes.
Bring on the (semi-)full frontal! It's about time we had our beefcake in the bond series.

The only beef I have with the movie is the choice to have a modern setting. I think it would have been awesome if they set it in a time accurate of the beginning of Bond's career. But other than that, I am really looking forward to it. Yes, even after “Die Another Day.”
