UPDATED: CASINO ROYALE Teaser!! In English This Time!! And Bigger, Too!!
UPDATE 11:09 PM CST: You can get the English language teaser from Sony's website as well!
When
That CASINO ROYALE trailer we saw earlier this week…the one in French?
Well, looks like the folks at moviefone have the same trailer, but target=parent>in English! And, with a considerably larger/clearer image if I’m not mistaken.
Took me a bit of time to download this – patience may be required.
Thanks to Henry Talbot for the heads up…

+ Expand All
-
Still not interested. I wish Brosnan could have been Bond forever.
-
I'm glad they're getting away from the lame bad-sci-fi look of the last film. Haven't seen Layer Cake yet, I heard he rocks in it but damn, Daniel Craig is one foul-looking dude.
-
So what do you call a Casino Royale if you don't use the thrice-cursed metric system?
-
where Bond was dubbed by Inspector Clouseau. However, it's nice to finally know what that hot chick said to Bond as she went into the room. I had to marinate on that one for hours. My French isn't even that bad, but that one had me stirring and stirring. At last I finally know what it was she said: "Hi". *Wipes sweat off brow. Phheeew.
-
Craig still doesn't look like Bond to me though.
-
craig looks like a monkey in the tuxedo
-
Seriously. I understand that they have to expand on the story and whatnot but jeez what was all that nonsense?
-
What does Bond say after M says "I want you to take your ego out of the equation."? I can't understand him.
-
He said something like "so you want me to be half monk, half hit man"
-
ok. after listening to it about 20 times, I think he's saying "So you want me to be half monk half hitman." ? err... ok?
-
Well, at least in that last shot he doesn't......yikes! Just plain scary looking man. Looks like someone pissed in his martini or sumthin. What the hell is going on? I love Tom Welling, and Pierce Brosnan, yet I approve of both the Bond and Supes trailers. Maybe X3 burned me out on my hating......but, of course, that one deserves it.
-
monkey in a tuxedo! monkey in a tuxedo! hahaha
-
The music is deceiving... hearing that theme would get anyone pumped for this but watch it muted and tell me honestly if this even really LOOKS like a Bond movie. I dunno.
-
How boring and uncompelling. Though everyone has REALLY nice bodies.
-
Yes, I think that fits quite nicely. I wonder how many people will be thinking the same thing simultanteously all across this nation when this trailer hits theaters?
-
In this clip, in his demeanor and intent look on hs face.
Gonna watch for this one. -
He looks like a genetic throwback.
-
Pricks.
-
If I were to put a bag over Craig's head, that is.
-
i say bring it on... looks a lot better than anything we've seen from 007 recently... having judy dench is kinda lame though
-
i guess we find out where he gets the "00"
-
Although the film looks like it'll be good, I don't think Daniel Craig is going to win us over as James Bond.
-
Sorry "Pirates", "Superman" and "Cars" (wtf??) but this is the first exciting trailer to hit AICN since MI:III, and I have more faith in Bond this time than Hunt. Craig looks amazing in my opinion. He's tough but not in the smarmy way that Dalton was. Brosnan was terrific, but he had only one great film (Goldeneye) and then he was just too old and the films were just too awful. Connery will always remain tops, but I think Craig will give us our money's worth. This trailer has given me hope...I was much more skeptical about the project after reading the script reviews. This looks very BOND to me, and that's why I'll be there on opening day. In fact...first day and first screening.
-
Looks like it could be pretty dope to me. Bond is not supposed to be handsome, he's supposed to be tough looking, and that is what Craig is, he looks like he could kill you. Pierce Brosnan looks like he'll blow you.
-
I'm so much more excited about Craig as Bond than about that meatball playing Superman. Eat it.
-
And I dunno about this new fuckin Bond. Maybe they'll work Gay 008 into the story somehow and spend half the time focusing on a spy in New Hampshire finding hot sausage stuffing ass love while hiding from the military establishment out to get him.
-
Dalton was easily the best Bond ever. Period, end of story. Connery has too much camp, and the only great film he was in was Dr.No, the rest ranged from good to awful. Both of Dalton's films are classics. He is the only Bond to have more than one great film. Lazenby obviously had OHMSS, Moore had Moonraker, Connery had Dr.No, Brosnan had none, his films were awful, not Bond in the least. I really hope the people who like Brosnan get therapy, he was terrible. Timothy Dalton rules, they should have brought him back, he still looks good, tough older Bond, love that shit.
-
Now that is what i am talking about. i am glad that bond is being portrayed as a rough edged individual that gets straightened out so that he can fit into upper society. A coiled sping that is ready to F*CK SH*t up at the drop of a hat! BRING ON THE BADDASS!
-
Seriously man, I know about shrinkage, but stuff a sock down there or something when you're striding dramatically out of the water.

I really like it. Excited about Craig was bored w/Brosn
by george newman
I was really bored with brosnan. Craig is an exremely fresh breath of air. This looks fantastic. My only reservation is the poker, but whatever...
-
But it looks cool. I was a Craig hater but he looks like the kind of british spy who would knock your teeth out and fuck your mom at the end there so... Let's give him a shot.
-
There is definitely some Blue Steel or Magnum in that last pose.
-
if they have a bunch of "00" agents, and they keep replacing them when one dies, could thye not have more than one 007...and maybe the code name is james bond...and therefore anyone can play him anytime and continuity is fine in terms of who is bond
- then again i might just need some sleep -
am i the only one that likes this choice? kinda like how i'm the only one who likes lazenby.. moore and dalton were garbage, brosnan was lukewarm at best, i think craig will do fine and i honestly don't care if he's not pretty enough. before seeing the trailer i was pretty much wondering why they were still beating the dead horse 007 franchise but this looks like it would be a good note to go out on. every brosnan movie but goldeneye was garbage, give the new guy a chance.
-
i agree with you 100%
Lazenby was the SHIT! -
I loved him in GoldenEye. I was disappointed with Tomorrow Never Dies. World is Not Enough was mediocre was some bright points--no rewatchability factors. I did not want to see Die Another Day, and I still haven't. But he really redeemed himself with Everything or Nothing
-
the hangover of a lifetime but is trying to mask it with 10 cups of Starbucks. Maybe it's me. But they could've picked someone who looks a bit more... "fresher"...
-
Actually, I have no reason to say that. It's just funny when people get angry at a studio.
-
This guy is gonna knock your teeth out and fuck your mom.
-
and I gotta say, it has to be one of the best Bond flicks ever. Famke (Gawd dammit she was hot), Bean, and Alan "I am INVINCIBLE!!!" Cumming? Sweet cast. And if you do not agree, you are a "SLUG-HEAD!" ;)
-
Craig looks as ugly in English as he did in French.
-
the leads in films aren't attractive enough. Oh yeah, I forgot, you can't be a good actor unless you're attractive. I bet you guys would all be perfect for the role, right? "Bond is supposed to be good looking!!" You're acting like Craig is fucking quasimodo. The man probably gets way more ass than everyone on this talkback, and the ladies like him. Besides, if you're a guy and you're claiming that Craig not being attractive enough is a distraction from (or flaw of) the movie, you may need re-evaluate why exactly you go to see Bond movies, as well as your sexuality.
-
We referenced quasimodo (in different contexts) only 2 seconds apart!
-
Miami Viceishness of the design. Mostly it is Craig punching men and kissing women, so it's difficult to tell if he has charisma or not. Every woman knows that a man's looks are entirely forgivable if he has charisma. However, my gut instinct says, "no". His most charismatic scene is him walking out of the water in the short shorts. The rest of the time, he looks like a thug in the employ of a drug dealer.
-
Damnit I'm fried.
-
I think Daniel Craig as Bond is refreshing and is probably the closest thing to Sean Connery ever. Looks exciting. I just hope it's more R-rated.
-
closet gays because they think Bond is supposed to be very attractive given that EVERY SINGLE BOND ON FILM TO DATE has been attractive?
-
Just said that they might need to reevaluate their sexuality if him being not gorgeous is THAT big of a deal to them. Really though, if Bond needs to be super attractive in order for a person to enjoy the movie, I think that person may have a bit of a problem. Besides, Craig is fairly average looking. I don't see what the big deal is. They're trying to make the movie more on the realistic side, so Bond doesn't have model good looks. Also, isn't the good looking James Bond a hollywood invention? I read somewhere that the Bond of the books is not that attractive at all.
-
But I'm still kinda apprehensive on Craig still. I'm not hating, just cautious really. And Merrick if that took you a while to d/load then you need to put some money down on a higher speed ;)
-
People who are using his looks as a serious strike against the movie. I feel like they're pretty inconsequential, personally.
-
that last zooming close up shot of Craig was really ugly. His face looked swollen and made of play-doe.
-
But, Craig still looks more like Quasimodo than he does James Bond. He probably does get more ass than everyone on this talkback. The kind with four legs,long pointy ears and a tail. The ladies that like him are blind,retarded or both.
-
no matter how much of a disappointment the films always turn out to be. Brosnan always struck me as more of smug yuppie than a deadly spy. Dalton had a viper like quality and cold eyes that made me beleive he was capable of murder, so kudos to him. I'm on the pro Daniel Craig side but calling him on looking like Zoolander is one of the funniest things I've heard in weeks. The fan boy in me still years for a moody, hard-R Bond movie directed by Fincher with complete creative control... and a Luc Besson 007 would be nice too.
-
...you're right, y'know. The Bond of the books was written as handsome, sure, but he was never a "pretty boy". Bond's not s'posed to be attractive because of the way he looks. It's because of the way he acts and who he is. He's a "blunt instrument"...a dangerous, confident, yet charismatic thug. THAT'S why chicks dig him. Just ask any wigger. And then have Bond beat the shit out of them.
-
...that was my Craig endorsement right there.
-
in a pretty way. But he had tons of charisma to spare. And he could be calculating, although what surrounded him was certainly not deadly serious as the books attempted. The issue is if Craig has chemistry or if he will seem like a flat, emotionless thug.
-
until a longer trailer with more than one line of dialogue is released. I just think we should be arguing for/against Craig on the merit of his charisma and acting ability, rather than his looks.
-
...long live the metrosexual. Now I'm gonna sit back and watch the shares in my "Pffft Salon" go through the roof. Remember, a pedicured foot is a pedicured mind.
-
This guy is a revelation. He was brilliant as XXXX in Layer Cake and he looks great as Bond. I was never a fan of the series or of Pierce Brosnan so that kept me away from the recent 007's but I'm really looking forward to this one.
-
lets hope he pulls another goldeneye out his ass and not a Mask of Zorro.
Looked good. -
"Nicked it off sum geeza inna car park, didn'eye?"
-
Hilarious! Very well done! That said, I think this rework may pull it off somehow. Better than the abyssmal last one, anyway. Oh yeah, and no matter how hard I try, I just cannot get down with this Merrick character. Don't know what it is. Trying too hard to be accepted, or something. Be yourself man, and just roll with it. Stop trying to be clever, for the love of Bob! If you are already being yourself I suspect you need some time to settle into your new position. If you are still behaving in the same way 6 months from now, then God love you man, cuz no one else will.
-
The movie looks... *okay*... if you adopt the notion that "James Bond" is a persona or codename that is passed on from one agent to the next. Read it that way and it makes enough sense for M to be the Judi Dench incarnation as well as all the other stuff that may not gel if, like me, you have a strong opinion of who Bond is. I'll be there, I guess. If only to cop a perve at that girl in the red dress. Holy Gaucamole....
-
Don't know who exactly you are referring to, LaserBrain, but if it is Eva Green of "Dreamers" fame, then, yeah, DAMN! As for the other stuff, I grew up loving Bond, but the last few of the Brosnan franchise have seperated me from the character I loved. I'm ready for a new idea, I just hope it isn't too f**ked up. I still hold some faith, and I'm not a Daniel Craig hater. Craig can do cool when he needs to.
-
No HK, the other girl. However Eva Green certainly sweetens the deal.
-
Every time I see him in the role, I cannot help but laugh. Anyone who's seen I'm Alan Partridge will know what I mean.
-
And I love the instant full screen stream. Nice work Sony, more trailers should do this.
-
I love Craig. I love the idea of him as Bond. I'm sure he will kick ass. But with all the haters, and all the new stuff, we don't need the added distraction of having to accept a Bond with spikey highlight. If they gave Craig a "Conery," it would grease the wheels a bit.
-
We've always loved our Bonds despite the desperate shit they've done on the side. OK, I have to admit that Connery was cool because he basically sauntered his way into the job, and was completely badass and cool. Moore, well, he'd already been Simon Templar, but he was also an integral part of, "Gaiety George."
That other, "L," guy, well, not worth mentioning. Dalton? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, ridiculous, and we all know it. You like Dalton? You don't like Bond. - oh yeah, Flash Gordon. Terrible. Not to mention a bit part on Charlie's Angels, Awesome! - Then came Brosnan, the saviour of the series. How many good Bond movies did he make? One? "Die Another Day," was one of the most horrific Bond outings I've ever seen. I know that Pierce had starred in such vehicles as, "The Lawnmower Man," and, " Love Affair," before, "Goldeneye," but even his awesome wickedslick half-irish accent couldn't save what was dying. Rework? Thank heavens. Starting fresh? awesome. It has been a long time since seeing a Bond flick was worth it. Hope this doesnt' suck.
-
better than the recent movies methinks *although it's gonna take more than a bit of black and white to make an edgy bond* It's such a fucking shame this wasnt brosnans swan song. the producers are fuckers-this is a bargain bin dvd imo....
-
Haha. I'm still laughing about that one comment. That last shot was supposed to come off as what? shocking? alluring? provacative? bleah. whatevers.
-
I'm not sure that Moore sucked on every outing, seeing as he was a reinvented new sort of Bond. I had some fun with those flicks when I was younger. But, I cannot deny the ownage that Roger Moore was handed when Connery made, "Never say Never Again." That movie went back to a Bond we could get down with. Not a great film to be sure, but did the Bond thing proper.
-
Monkey in a tux..... well, strangely Fleming throught Connery looked like a Gorilla forced into a dinner jacket. He thought he was too much of a thug to play the role (there is a line similar to one from this trailer.... see the synergy ?) and hated the idea of him being his creation on screen. Then he changed his mind when he saw Dr. No. Oh, and STFU. Arguing over who makes the best Bond is like arguing over who has the best God. Everyone has a different idea of what their deity should be, and everybody elses's deity just cannot be accepted. Each Bond and portrayal of Bond was of their time, just as this will be.
-
Octopussy won over NSNA at the box office. NSNA was panned.
-
What the hell are you talking about, everybody who's anybody knows that Krishna's the best god! The dude can dance better than Jackson in his prime...and he's blue.
-
I am afraid Ganesh is the best, especially when played by the Simpson kids. Elephant god's rock and you know it ! You see...... pointless. When I was a kid, Moore ruled. Then when I read the books in detail, Dalton ruled. Connery was the best when I grew out of Moore. Lazenby sooooo should have done another one. After seven years away Brosnan ruled and there are parts of Tomorrow Never Dies that are still amongst the best 007 portrayal ever committed to celluloid. Go on, ask me one about sport ? (joking....)
-
sorry, but Shiva in his destroyer incarnation - Kala Bhairab - is the way coolest divinity. Seppukudkurosawa, you jumped the gun.
-
Please, a 00 should have class, not look like a truckdriver.
-
...SO THERE BABEEEE.
-
complete with that suitcase/x-ray machine and chase through a... contruction site. although craig looked like an interesting new choice to play bond and the story as an origin story is at least sort of new, the film and tone still looked the same and seemed to scream "i am tough!" "i am a badass!" "i am high budgeted!" without really doing it.
-
The blatant baiting of Carver at the launch party and the dealing with Kauffman are the two bits that stand out in my opinion. But hey, opinions are like arseholes !!! And when you have a franchise spanning 42 years, 21 films, based on countless novels, 6 (official) actors in the lead and so on then OF COURSE the opinions vary wildly and differently and that is the inherent greatness and interest of the Bond series. No other franchise can come close to the debate levels possible about this one.
-
is entirely faithful to the book, other than the hair. Fleming described Bond as an essentially ugly looking man - the deal with Bond is he has magnetism. Incidentally, far from being typically handsome, he describes a huge scar down his cheek. And why is he hard? Not because he can fight - because he can take the kind of beatings that would leave Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne needing therapy. If Jack wasn't too busy chasing after his daughter of course.
-
Craig is a great, intense actor, and if he were cast as a random tough guy government agent who is upgraded to secret spy status, as a completely different character, I could accept this. It looks like the action is kick ass. But I simply can't accept him as Bond. He would have been pretty damn interesting as John Constantine, though, no?
-
I was never a fan of the Connery Bonds. They were okay, but they just didn't grab me. The Moore Bonds are the ones I grew up with and I found them acceptable ( okay, Moonraker sucked, but For Your Eyes Only was great. ) When Dalton came along I flipped. He's my favorite Bond by far. Why? The man looked mean. Look at those snake eyes. I wish he could have kept on with a few more J.B. movies but the powers that be said no. I think I'm going to like Craig as Bond because as mentioned above, Bond was not good-looking and looked like he was a good scrapper. Brosnan was just too suave. All I could think through his movie was that he still looked like he was in those old soda commercials where he played a Bond-like character ( remember those? )
-
Fleming never described Bond as ugly but gave him ".....a hard, ruthlessness to his good looks and a thin, vertical scar down his right cheek to punctuate the cruel ruthlessness about his features......" and also mentioned on a number of occasions "....cold blue-grey eyes...". It is a fallacy he was ever described as ugly. And every woman I have spoken to seems to think Dan Craig is very swoon worthy. They like his ruggedness.
-
The bit where he runs along the construction site with people all shooting an shit looked just like Tomorrow Never Dies? Non? I want to see that chimp's nutsack pulped with a carpet beater! Just me? I'm overall happy about it though, after the last one the franchise *really* needed a reboot. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief enough for the last one...(Hide *behind* the invisible car. Sheesh!)
-
Flemings own words, from an interview he gave with (I believe) the Times prior to the release of Dr. No as a movie, when asked to describe 007 were : "He is good looking in a dark, rather cruel way." so never, ever, ever was he described by Fleming as ugly. He did once refer to the scar as "Ugly" though which is where the confusion might come from.
-
Dalton was offered GoldenEye and it was written for him, but HE said no, the producers really wanted him back, as he felt he had been associated with the role for far too long during the legal troubles without even playing the character on screen for 7 years. So they tested again and Brosnan was picked (Babs wanted Sean Bean, but settled for him as the villain).
-
is going to get shafted with all these blockbusters out there.
bwahahahahah -
I happen to know hundreds of women with pock-fetishes. Just the mention of Craig's name gets them salivating.
-
daniel craig is a bit of rough to them. they like him. not skinny geeks or obese nerds. sorry you all have no chance!
-
Haywire is spot on. A quick straw poll of the women in the office here, looking at the various shots of Craig as James Bond, has resulted in very favourable results for Mr. Craig.
-
I grew up on Moore and hence he has a fond spot in my heart but I also loved Dalton.
Dalton was the first time I ever felt menace from Bond. He was one angry dude in his movies.
Brosnan was a safe pair of hands but some of his movies were really bad Bonds. The world is not enough has to be the worst ever!
I like the idea of Craig as a more rough and tumble Bond, more in the spirit of Lazenby and Dalton than Connery and Moore. -
I'm bloody reading the books at the moment and I know Fleming has not once described Bond as ugly. In fact most of the time the women class him as at least quite good looking.
I agree with the talk of Dalton. He had class, but also looked like a killer- loved that bit where he goes off to whack the cellist, but tags her instead.
Bond was never superhuman, not some Adonis, and I think Craig fits that mould. Funnily enough, I saw Spartan the other day and although I was dead against a Yank playing Bond, after Kilmer's performance in that, I could easily accept him as Bond. Stone..fucking...cold. -
That is a lie. It is common knowledge that Dalton's only fan at Eon was good old Cubby, and once that glorious bastard died it was the end for Dalton. My question is this, why doesn't Michael G. Wilson co-write any of the scripts anymore? I thought he was good as a writer, not so good as a producer.
-
You are dead on in your assessment of Connery. He was ruggedly -- even thuggishly -- handsome but his charm and swagger carried him the rest of the way across the goal line. Craig has the same kind of looks going on (that Joe Montanna athletic thing) and, for a taste of his screen presence, I highly reccomend watching Layer Cake. It's like Connery redux except for the overconfidence witht he ladies (which was designed, I believe, to make Craig's character more likeable). Point being, I honestly believe based on what I've seen from Craig that he can give us a deeper, more compelling version of Connery's Bond...right down to getting knocked out in every movie and waking up with that convincing "What'd they put in my drink?" grimace. Just give it a chance. Unless the director's a serious ass clown, I don't think Craig will blow this.
-
so what's up with quicktime? Everything seems so washed out. Is it a problem on my end or the quicktime itself? Oh and cool trailer BTW.
-
I'm sorry, but I disagree. Dalton was offered GoldenEye. In fact Timothy Dalton was still signed on for that film and at least one more. But a series of events cropped up that estranged EON from its studio, the most notable being the selling of television rights of the EON series. When at last these issues were resolved and work resumed on Bond 17 (eventually known as GoldenEye), Dalton surprised many by announcing he would NOT return as Bond. The public, he said, had associated him with the role for eight years, and that was long enough for him. He was eager to move on to new challenges. He officially left the 007 family in the spring of 1994. And the Ian Fleming foundation, Pearson just about every worthy Bond guide (official and independent) agree with me. Sorry matey.
-
..is besides the point, because Danny Craig (apart from the aforementioned Pock thing) isn't that bad a looker. He's a man not a manicure. Like people above keep on saying, chicks dig dicks, and apart from that unflattering "shrinkage" shot in the pool, there's little doubt that Craig's of the XY chromozone persuasion.
-
I haven't bothered with the past three or four Bond flicks, not because I didn't like Brosnan, but because the movies have been so frickin' generic. This one, though, I'll give a shot. If the attitude behind casting Craig extends to the film itself, it could kick ass. I'm seriously tired of prettyboy Bonds -- I like the idea of a Bond who looks like he's actually endured the beatings he gets in these movies. Because come on, you know that any actual human being who goes through what Bond goes through would look like a human cauliflower. Realistically, after being shot and blown up about 10,000 times he should be a shattered invalid stuck in one of those black boxes like Capt. Pike in "The Menagerie."
-
I officially dub thee "C-Bond"
-
This is a great trailer, and is making everyone want to see this. People will go to it and make up their own minds, regardless of script/story/continuity flaws that are going to litter the movie. I suppose if you think 'fuck it, it's Bond, bring it on' and don't dwell too much on the faults or the change of tone/style, it will be a good experience. Supes is gonna blow though, apart from the visuals.
-
He got a cap knocked off, and it was re-attached that afternoon. The rest was due to the shit sucking trough pigs that are the gutter British tabloid press who, when in need of news, just make it up.
-
You can see a lot of it in "Layer Cake", and even more in the Bond stuff that's leaked out. He'll be great.
-
Craig should be playing Rorschach in a Watchman film.A ginger shortarse.Talk about perfect casting.Monkey in a tuxedo! Very funny!
-
Thanks for the clear up about the ugly ref - I remember it in the book but read it years ago - if it referred to the scar cool - either way he has something ugly on his face - this is not a pretty boy we're dealing with, and Craig has cruelty in spades. Brosnan got way too manicured - and the hair too bouffant. I forget the novel it was in - but in what one is he in a plane in an insane patch of turbulence, everyone is screaming but he mentally goes to his "fortress" - and just switches off every emotion? That is a good director's note for Bonds. He can go on autopilot.
-
No problemo buddy. I have a funny feeling it might have been in the novel of Diamonds Are Forever, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I thought Diamonds Are Forever was also one of Fleming's weakest novels.
-
There's also one around that era, maybe Live and Let Die, where he imagines having some kind of trick lighter - and dismisses the idea as the kind of nonsense device the service hated. Cut to invisible car.
-
I remember that part. I can't pinpoint the book, but I know what you mean. There were some gadgets though. Bulgarian tourists with tricky camera bombs ahoy !
-
Jesus, that is one pug-ugly son of a bitch. Who gives a shit if Ian Fleming's original characterization of Bond was Hoagy Charmichael? James Bond, the icon, is elegant, sophisticated and deadly. That's what makes him so dangerous. This guy just looks like a hood.
-
beginning harkens back to the original black and... white... bond, oh wait. But in any cause I liked what I saw. If you've seen Layer Cake then you have no worries about him as Bond. If not, go watch it and get back to me. And there was one thing missing from that trailer. CG, and I like it. CG is needed for Superman catching a plane. But flipping a car/boat/whatever over an explosion should be practical. Kudos.
-
It would be nice to see a serious Bond flick for a change.
-
First, I dig the overall look. Much better than the overly stylyzined shit of the last two Bond movies. However, Craig looks REALLY haggard. And that isn't particularly a bad thing, but we're so conditioned to Bond being sexified that I don't know if audiences will take to him. We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic about it overall.
-
I'm willing to give Craig a chance. All I'm saying is that this trailer does not display his charisma (should he possess it), which I think should be the first thing to be put on display considering they are attempting to sell a new Bond - don't you? That's what carries or sinks the Bond franchise - plain and simple. Which doesn't explain how Brosnan kept his job through three films, but nevertheless...Connery is still the Bond to beat. I grew up watching Moore, and For Your Eyes Only is still my favorite Bond film because it's such a great movie on its own, but most of Moore's work was already treating Bond like a parody of itself.
-
Dammit. That would have kicked several varieties of ass. Just picture him instead of Brosnan in the pre-titles sequence or the tank scene, let alone the rest of the movie. It would have solidified Dalton as a top Bond, instead of the mixed reviews he gets now thanks in part to the shoddy License to Kill. *friendswithbenefits.com*
-
...go in and photoshop Clive Owen into that trailer? I'm not trying to hate on Craig - I think he was an interesting and adequete choice - but I can't help imagine what it would be like to have Owen in all those scene, especially the last shot. Considering he looks nothing like any of the previous Bonds, Clive Owen somehow had that perfect sense of Bond to him. I bet in the future people will assume that he played bond at some point, just because it already seems like he did. Anyway, good trailer, and I love the fact that it feels different (includinbg Bond) then every of the other movies.
-
1) M is still a dame, which just doesn't work for the character or the M/Bond interactions. M used to be like a stern but caring school headmaster to Bond's roguish pupil, instead now M is more like a bitchy nagging wife. 2) Bond is going to play poker in this one instead of his traditional baccarat. I know Bond is suppose to reflect the prevailing trends and styles, but he always used to be high class in whatever he did. That was part of the essence of the Bond character. Poker is a huge step down for him. It's too plebian, if you will. What's next, foregoing his martini's in favor of a can of Miller? Trading in the Aston Martin for a 10 year old pick-up?

Like the look of this, Bond will rise and claim back his crown from all those American usurpers (I'm looking at you Hunt and Bourne)
-
They should have went young, Henry Cavill or someone. Now you're doing a "new James Bond for a new millenium" and you've got maybe 3 movies before Craig has 'grandparent' written all over him.
-
Clive Owen has all the charisma of a sack of cabbages. Did you see King Arthur? It was like he'd been tranquilized.
-
...for this film. I am now sold on Daniel Craig now that I can hear his voice. It's not the greatest but it's not bad. for me he echoes/channels Connery's bond more than anyone else. Whether he succeeds or not is a decision that can only be made after the film so for now I'm happy with how the film looks and I'll be there opening weekend.
-
That King Arthur script was bong-water written for teenyboppers to play.
-
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
-
Judging from his trunks, the water must be very cold...
-
It's going to be interesting to see how audiences react to this. That final shot is shockingly bad. I'm still not sure why they feel a need to bounce between extremes with the actors that play Bond. Are we really supposed to believe that Craig is the only guy they could find who could play the role darker? He comes across as a generic tough guy- not James Bond.
-
That's the presence that comes across in the trailer.
-
Oh and Craig looks hard as fuck.
-
he's not handsome...he looks ugly
I can expect these type of comments from a 13 yr old girl, but us??? Are we hiding something? -
I'm not 100% sold on Craig, but he's got my ten bucks.
-
in that tuxedo. You just have certain expectations from Bond and one is the right kind of swagger. I don't think 13 year old girls these days really go in for Bond anyway. They like "dreamy" guys like Orlando Bloom who look like 13 year old boys.
-
Craig is an immensely ugly fucker, Mr.Bong. Would you like to see Superman played by Paul Reubens? Or, a remake of Gone With the Wind with Jim Carrey as Rhett Butler? You don't need to be a 13 year old girl or gay to want to see James Bond portrayed by someone who looks the part. They could have cast someone better looking than Craig. Like the Elephant Man,maybe.
-
It looks like a wicked action movie, but it doesn't feel like Bond. And This craig guy just really doesn't look the part at all. I have no problem with a "serious" Bond film, but this guy, however good he might be as an actor, just doesn't have the presence that I associate with a Bond.
-
I don't see why men can't have an opinion on other men's looks.It doesn't mean anything and if you think it does or it's odd then you're a homophobic idiot.I know Johnny Depp is a better looking chap than Danny Devito.Doesn't mean anything,it's called using your eyes.There are dozens of actors who are better looking and cooler than Craig and quite a few of them would have been up for Bond if asked.A tougher Bond wasn't contigent on casting Mungo Craig.You could have gone down this road with another actor and not pissed off half the fanbase.The alphabet man is right.That last shot of Craig in a tuxedo is unbelievably hideous.To go slightly agaisnt type is one thing,to cast a man who looks like Marty Feldman's character in Young Frankenstein is another.
-
Round One: Connery Vs Lazenby - Winner Connery (the original 007 easily beats the kilt wearing pretender by a swift knee to the exposed bollocks). Round Two: Connery Vs Moore - Winner Connery (by simply turning up, prompting the limp wristed Moore to shit himself to death). Round Three: Connery Vs Dalton - Winner Connery (a tight round this, but when Prince Baron pulls out his Flash Gordon ray gun, Connery disarms him, and buries it up his ass). Round Four: Connery Vs Brosnan - Winner Connery (the foppish 90's Bond passes out just at the sheer sight of Sean's manliness). Round Five: Connery Vs Craig - Winner Craig (in a shock final round the blonde Bond rips out Connery's spine and uses it as dildo to shaft Miss Moneypenny with). This actually just happened by the way. No. Seriously.
-
would be a close match, but connery would beat the living hell out of him. Craig didnt get this big till he went on steroids, whereas Connery was a body builder for a very long time, and he stands about half a foot taller and outweighs him by thirty lbs. Dont believe me? Check out Darby O'Gill and the little poeple for Connery's prime physique. He would have beat the hell out of this thug.
-
Bond isn't an Everyman. He's also more than just a random tough guy. After all, the iconic image of Bond is that of a guy in a tuxedo- not the type of character that springs to mind when you hear the term, "badass". He's more commonly associated with charm and gadgets than brute force. I mean, Charles Bronson could've kicked Roger Moore's ass in the 70's, but that doesn't mean he could've played James Bond.
-
I fear Connery would go a bit gooey as he'd be too worried about his wig being blown off, and besides he's a vain cunt and would surely like to keep his looks, whereas the blonde thug wouldn't give a fuck as his head already looks like a potato. Also he's fucking pumped to high heaven on steroids and fuck knows what else so wouldn't bother about the pain too. No, Craig looks like he could do some serious damage. Oh and least we forget Connery had a fetish for baby suits (ala Goldfinger) so you can forget the 'Hard man' bollocks, he lost that image WHILE he was in his prime.
-
short shorts. There is a short list of men who can pull off wearing those things without looking gay, such as Sean Connery (in his prime), Hugh Jackman, Tom Selleck, etc. Which Craig is trying to pull off here, but would be more successful with the bag over his head as I suggested previously.
-
I could definitely get used to picturing him when I picture Bond. Don't really know what all the haters are complaining about. As for the trailer, I liked it a lot...it was all noir in the beginning, followed by your very Bond-ish sun/stunts/girls/gadgets routine. Honestly I think it looks great.
-
sweeet. very sweeeeet. Hair stood up on the back of my neck. Eat doggie doo haters! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
-
(sorry about the double post)...this movie'll come out, and it'll be great, but there will be a backlash by the general public for changing Bond. So they'll get Bronsan back for the next one, but then he'll quit. So they have to find another dude who feels like Bond. Enter Clive Owen. And no, I havn't seen King Arthur, but I have seen Croupier, Bourne Identity, Sin City, and all the Hire shorts.
-
He will bring some grit to the role that has been missing for some time. But,Brosnan (a very popular Bond)should have been given one more go at it.
-
It looks pretty good--as an action/bourne film. As a Bond, I dunno, Craig just doesnt seem to have it. Oh, and I've heard him speak in his Bond accent--he talks really muffled. So, his voice isnt much help, either.
-
Thos who are Bond "lyalists" seem to forget this series was getting too lame and predictable. This looks to restart the saga, and I am all for it. It's still gonna have the women, but not the laziness of the action genre. Myself, I am all for it, I mean Bond is supposed to be the king of the spies, and yet the movies have been trailing intelligent espionage thrillers for far too long. This looks to bring it to a Bourne/Mission Impossible setting. Foreign environments/lovemaking/action!
Personally I think.. "It's about damn time!" -
...the folks who are vehemently opposed to Craig on the basis of looks feel the need to post this in the same talkbacks numerous times while the "this looks great" or "I could see him as Bond" posts tend to come from different folks each time. Seems some people are trying to make a minority opinion seem more weighty by posting more frequently. Multiple screen names would help your cause a lot and, if you believe certain folks, are quite easy to obtain here.
-
That shit rocked! I am actually excited for a Bond flick for a change~!
-
Go on admit it, you would never give Bond a thought if it was still Brosnan. It's gathering interest as people are curious to see what it's going to be like with someone who isn't an obvious Bond clone. So in my humble opinion, they've done exactly what was needed. If he's crap, they'll replace him and new interest gained again. Win win situation for them.
-
alucardvsdracula and moondoggy2u are right about Connery. He was a nasty sonofabitch in real life. In 1965 I encountered Connery shooting "A Fine Madness" at the side of the Brooklyn Bridge. After the shoot wrapped, he walked towards his modest compact car with driver. As he approached the car, a crowd of kids chased him asking for his autograph. As he got to the car, he turned and said, "Get the fuck outa here, ya little bastards." Everyone was stunned but recovered and started yelling insults at him. He got into the back seat of the car, and as the car pulled away he looked at us through the rear window and gave us all the finger. He would kick the shit out of Craig even at his advanced age. Connery was the real deal. And, the one and only 007.
-
...snakes on a plane
-
That the famous Bond logo takes place in a bathroom.
-
Can't imagine what everybody is bitching about. I mean, would you really prefer Brosnan in an invisible car getting shot at with laser beams from space? really?
-
Honest to god, Craig Ferguson, would have been interesting as Bond. Yeah, I said it. What? WHAT???
-
I mean, isn't this like a prequel kinda? She was introduced in Goldeneye...wouldn't it have made more sense to recast M?
-
If they don't mention anything, we can just assume, that he is inheriting the James Bond alias, and the 007 title. Sorta like the way they do with the xXx's.
-
After watching Layer Cake and the trailer, as a female fangirl, I'm sold. If Daniel is even half as good acting-wise as he was in that movie, then it'll be a good Bond film. On looks, every single man in RL looks like a monkey when stuck in a tux in one form or another. I can forgive the potch-marked face too for those eyes ::glances down at the ocean shot:: and the rest of the package. In the words of Mel Brooks, it's not the size that counts it's how you use it.
-
James Bond is NOT a legacy alias to be passed down from Double-O agent to Double-O agent. He's one guy -- ONE -- and if you're going to reboot the series a la BATMAN BEGINS, you'd better recast M while you're at it. Now the mass majority of people who go to see this flick will think, "Wait, wasn't he already OO7 and isn't she the second M? Craig looks older than Pierce Brosnan, so this must be a sequel, right?" Craig is a Done-In-One Bond and the new George Lazenby.
-
Dench as M is a problem. However it is fairly safe to assume that, one or two references aside, James Bond movies have NO continuity. Anyone who ever reads comic books will know how a story can still be spun despite there being absolutely bollocks all continuity of any discernable nature. The same question could be asked as to why Felix Leiter is in this and has not met 007 before, and has all his limbs, but in LTK he made Bond his best man and got fed to a shark. Just let it go, and think about how this sort of thing never stopped you enjoying Marvel or DC works.
-
I declare myself with officially no interest in seeing the latest Bond film for the first time ever. Since "You Only Live Twice" hit the screens when I was about 8 I've seen them all. I have the steel box set of all the dvds. Now, it's done. Barbara Broccoli has achieved what even Moonraker couldn't. Way to alienate an entire fan base - schmuck !
-
Brosnan is like 17 years older than Craig. And if you think about it, having James Bond as a alias, MAKES PERFECT SENSE. And if they have changed that aspect, or choose to do, it would help the series. Imagine Craig trying to take down Brosnan, Dalton, and possibly Connery in a future flick. And honestly, didn't anyone find it retarded in the past that, the worlds biggest super "spy" just threw his name out there all the damn time? It SHOULD be a alias.
-
IGN has the story...apparently they will shoot the next intallment of Bond back to back with Casino Royale for 2007 release because its Bond's year..
-
I merely implied, it should be if it already hasn't. Hows that for back pedaling?
-
I agree. It makes him somehow less iconic and ultimately derivative, even if it seems like a good formula on the surface.
-
The shot of him coming out of the ocean is like LESS THAN A SECOND!! You obviously has to PAUSE on that shot to get a look at the man's package SO SORT YOURSELVES OUT you closet self-loathing idiots! It's not only women who think Dan Craig is a spunk - ask your gay friends (you do have friends, right?) what they think! Anyhow, this teaser trailer has not enough substance to tell us v.much about this new flick but at this point in time, it seems like the producers are doing everything right. Bond was cast well, maybe could have been cast better - TOO EARLY TO TELL. I think Dame Judy Dench is perfectly alright to reprise her role as M - if only because THE WOMAN CAN ACT! If you're too SMALL-MINDED to want to give this film a chance, fine - but don't go bitching about your own problems to the rest of us! Seriously people GET A LIFE!
-
that last comment wasn't aimed at everyone - just those who can't seem to get past what the man LOOKS LIKE!
-
You have 2 scenarios here: 1.) This is a complete reboot of the series. In which case it wouldn't matter who is playing M because it's a fresh start. 2.) James Bond is just an alias, which btw it was suggested in HMSS. (When George's 007 tried to pick up a chick on the beach, she ended up running away and he remarks "This never happened to the other guy.") So again it's not a problem. Judy Dench is fine as M. There is no need to replace her.
-
And Daniel Craig has a really hot body. Yum yum. The makeup department just needs to add a little something to conceal the redness, maybe some pale highlighter to brighten his eyes and bingo. He's our man.
So much better than sad Brosnan in DAD, with his saggy man-boobs and matted grey chest hair, who couldn't even feign interest in the skantily clad Rosamund Pike and Halle Berry writhing all over him. This Bond looks to be a Connery/Dalton type. Craig forever! -
That was simply a sly wink, a nod to the audience that it was a new actor. Nothing more, nothing less. And as if an alias would ever get passed on from SPY to SPY ??? FFS ! "Hey, this legend has been busted. Lets get another agent and give him the same legend and send him back out there !" FFS. Stupidest idea since Brocolli turned round and said "You know what, let's put Bond in space!" or Purvis & Wade said "I think we are on to something with this invisible car!". I realise that in the world of comics characters and costumes that seem to rotate on and off each other with 'nary a nod towards anything approaching continuity of character but the Tux is not a costume. The man is James Bond. There's only one James Bond. He has, at times, been Jim Boldman, Peter Franks etc. etc. but underneath he is always one, only one, James Bond. M and Q, however, are aliases / code names.
-
I have also seen very little to persuade me that Clive Owen is not a charisma vacuum. Sin City, King Arthur, Croupier, Closer, Chancer and so on. Nope, never understood the hard-on people have for him.
-
...this is going to be a major hit. This guy looks really like someone you wouldn't mess with, just as connery did. So far they appear to be pressing all the right buttons...roll on the next trailer...
