Craig's In For Second Bond
Fan sites' tantrum imminent

Craig's In For Second Bond
He may be blond, he may have more angry Bond fans after him than the Moonraker scriptwriter, but this hasn’t stopped Casino Royale producer Barbara Broccoli from showing her support to Daniel Craig by snapping him up to star in the next Bond film.
 
"We are already working on the sequel," said producer Barbara Broccoli. "We're in the early stages of that. It will be an original story but will continue part of what the story is in Casino Royale."

At least they’re not remaking Dr No. Although that’s not a bad idea…

RE: what ever happened to George Lazenby?
L: Rock Lobster! i say give him another go. i'm not a Bond fan and find the news of another installment after Casino quite upsetting. will the franchise never end? Upsetting?   L: newbury Brocolli's just shoving Craig down our throats again. The best everyone can do is Boycott Bond. Even if you want to see the movie, at least boycott the first four weeks as the studios judge so much on the opening weeks box office. We've supported Bond for years and Brocolli just wants to ... Read More

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the Bond films should stop? There's too many now. I just feel that if they'd stopped earlier I might have had a bit more respect for the franchise. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a 'Real Bond Fan', I thought everyone would have got bored after the first 10. ... Read More

Sequel with no original yet?
How on earth can they set-up a sequel without the original even being seen? Unsure of its success as well! All those screaming Bond fans getting their knickers in a twist over Craig's casting, and now they're just going to ignore it and do a sequel? That's just weird. ... Read More

Shooting The Horse Before Its Left The Gates
I've been hearing that diehard Bond fans have been ever so slightly angered by the Daniel Craig casting decision. Admittedly my knowledge of this very vocal discontent has been minimal but has any one of these so called "real Bond fans" suggested another candidate (somewhat redundant at this stage but anyway) or are they just yelling at the top of their lungs "NO! UTTER RUBBISH! BRING ME ANOTHER! I DON'T CARE WHO SO I CAN SHOOT THEM DOWN IN FLAMES PREMATURELY! Some people do ge... Read More

How the fuck or why the fuck do people post multiple repetitive comments in one forum? It boils my pish! We got the point the first time man. Anyway... I think it's time someone had the balls to radicalise the bond franchise, christ, make him black, who gives a twat? Die Another Tomorrow Never Dies or whatever was balls, time for a new direction. ... Read More

judge the film by what you see, not what you hear!
Danial Craigs a good actor, he was the best thing in Layer Cake and Tomb Raider by a mile. He will make Bond a hard edged character like Timothy Dalton did, and when you look at his 2 films now they havent aged a bit. they're still as good as they were when they were released. ... Read More
