would make just as good a Bond, if the cover of the new Empire magazine is anything to go by!

I keep repeating it, but it isn't easy.
Well that's okay Barry... I'm sure words will fail most people! )

Ditto. I'd just posted a longer opinion of that pic but in the interest of maintaining the ceasefire I'll just bite my lip and follow Barry's advice instead.
But I do have one question: who is Old Man Steptoe?
Think Stanford and Son only the original was a bit grimier.
EDIT: Sorry; Sanford and Son.
Well I'm quite aware of what he looks like now; I'm surprised so many aren't. I do wonder why they did this photoshoot outside- it was up against a backdrop but in daylight. Odd.
So the old 'face' chestnuts are dropping again, but where's the 'bad PR'/ 'no-one cares about this film' crowd?
I sometimes wonder if this whole Craig affair is just a bad dream. Stuff like this simply reinforces the feeling.
Wilfred Brambell is James Bond !!!
I think you could cut some slack here em. Even as a Craig supporter I can see this isn't the greatest pic and Hardy is right, it does look like he's in The Untouchables or something.
Craig looks a lot better on screen than in photos and I just hope this isn't a problem, but if they continue to put shots like this on front covers of high profile movie mags, it could well be.
And CR on the front of Empire magazine isn't exactly the worse news this film could have.
And they will be getting my money the minute its on the shelves.
I like Empire and they are generally quite positive when it comes to Bond so I'm sure it will be full of good stuff and much better shots.
True- although the presence of yet another Star Wars feature puts me off slightly! They do one every month it feels like!
Agreed but at least they tend to ignore Posh and Becks which is a bonus
I'm sure some of the pics inside will be a lot better than the one on the cover. Its just a shame that the cover is what people will see regardless whether they buy the magazine or not.

My first guess would be that AKB46 has finally made a successful infiltration of the British magazine industry )
"This just in, from a leading British entertainment magazine: Actor Daniel Craig, who has been cast as the new James Bond for 'Casino Royale,' due for release this November, is not as good-looking as previous actors who have performed the role! Moreover, it appears that he isn't getting any more handsome as the production wraps! A spokesman for Eon has denied comment on these latest developments.

Instead, he went out on top---with his fans wanting more; clearly the classy alternative. If only all Bond actors had done the same {[]

Someone on another board did ask Brioni and they told him they were supplying Bond's outfits for this film.

Loeffs I think you make a good point that Pierce went out on top. I also think EON could have handled the switch to a new Bond way better. If they had, some of the animosity that Brosnan's fans have and may be projecting onto Craig wouldn't exist.
I would have liked to have seen Pierce do one more with the understanding it was his last go as Bond. The movie could have been released last year and then EON could introduce a new 007 in 2007. P&W supposedly had a script ready for the next Brosnan Bond movie, which was dumped in favor of doing CR. Had EON been functioning on all cylinders I think they could have pulled it off. Then I would have had one more Brosnan Bond and Blue would have had Craig in 2007 and we would all be one big happy family.
