yep, THAT'S him, the search is over......and he's English.

 

He was considered, but his Oscar nomination for "Closer" has priced him out.

 

They are looking to go the cheap route = relative unknown

 

On a perosnal note my choices were:

1.Clive Owen

2.Hugh Jackman

3.Eric Bana

 

But Julian and Daniel are the official final two from Sony.

Well hell, I"m cheap.

I'm surprised nobody saw Road To Perdition here, especially with a thread going on right now about favorite local films. But that Daniel Craig guy would be downright nasty as Bond.

 

I am also a bit surprised at the lack of love for Dalton. IMO he was the second best Bond so far, second to Connery. But I also don't rate Brosnan that high. I would take him over Moore, but Moore still gets viewed for out of nostalgia. But that last Brosnan film was easily one of the worst Bond films ever. Terrible stuff, absolutley terrible. The two Daltons are two of the best Bonds though, IMO.

 

I am not familiar with the first guy mentioned though. TV series guy, never watch TV shows. So by default I go with Daniel, but I can't see him as Bond really.

 

I've seen Road to Perdition, the near perfect gangster flick. I voted for Craig as well because he always plays a tough character, and I'd like a more gritty Bond. I'm not sure what to think of McMahon, he looks like a Bond but I haven't seen him enough to really know what he'd be like as 007.
