Can I just run the pic of him coming out of the ocean in the blue shorts in "Casino Royale"? This is...disconcerting. The combination of the huge shades, and the gaunt face and the white fuzz makes him look like whatever it was toddling off the mothership in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". This isn't Daniel Craig's angle. But what does he care? He gets to pick which actress he's going to tangle with in the next Bond epic! And choosing the next Bond girl is not something to be taken lightly. Ursula Andress, Grace Jones, um, Tanya Roberts...uh, and Teri Hatcher. Ok, it's not that deep.
"Daniel campaigned for Eva Green to do Casino Royale and is having a similar input in the casting of the next film," says my movie mole."There'll be four girls, all of whom will look Latin-American as much of the film is set in Panama, and Daniel is having a hard time choosing between those screen testing."
Brazilian actress Cleo Pires and Israeli Moran Atias are in the running
I like that name, "Israeli Moran Atias". I'm going to use that name when I forge checks in the future. I know Eva Green's kind of a spaceshot in real time, but she was totally pale and mesmerizing in "Casino Royale". So I think we should trust Daniel Craig's taste. Why am I so into that damn movie? Probably because Pierce Brosnan put me into a deep, deep coma from which I was only awoken by Danny kicking ass and taking names and creating booze drinks named after the lady he's trying to tag.
