Blond - James Blond!?!?

Craig could be officially introduced as the new Bond, James Bond on Friday at a press conferece scheduled by franchise masterminds Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson.

This is fucked, I hope Clive Owen goes all Medival on their ass - at this point I think the role out to have been his; though judgement must be saved til after the film is released.

Per the latest spate of reports, Craig recently met with Broccoli about donning the tuxedo and was also spotted in London bookstores asking about a first edition of author Ian Fleming's first Bond caper, 1953's Casino Royale, upon which the next 007 movie is based.

At last month's Toronto Film Festival, he said Casino Royale will take Bond back to basics, eschewing spectacular special effects for a more character-driven, plot-oriented spy thriller, in the vein of the early Sean Connery films.

"We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28," Haggis told reporters. "It's very difficult to think of new ways of blowing things up. It's the journey that's the thing--finding a new journey for the character."

I like the idea of this new guy instead of someone we are more familiar with. He has a roughness to him that is appropriate for a character like Bond.
Owen Wilson? are you sure?

Forget Bond, Bourne has taken over.
