Daniel Craig denies James Bond role
LONDON, April 6. — British actor Daniel Craig has said he was not going to be the next James Bond, following a flurry of stories today claiming he had won the part. A spokeswoman for the star of the hit gangster movie Layer Cake denied the reports but wouldn’t comment further. Eon Productions, which makes the Bond movies, also refused to comment. This means that fellow British actor Clive Owen may still be in the running to take over from Pierce Brosnan. Other names mentioned to play the 007 role have included Eric Bana, Jude Law, Heath Ledger, Ewan McGregor, Dougray Scott and Australian Hugh Jackman. The next James Bond movie, Casino Royale, is being directed by Martin Campbell, who first took the helm on Goldeneye in 1995. The Sun today claimed that Craig had been offered a three-film deal by producer Barbara Broccoli. — PTI

I really, really hope that Owen is the next Bond. I don't really like him all that much (especially after that horrible, horrible movie about King Arthur), but he's really the lesser of all the other evils. I can't think of any other actor whose name has been attached that could do it other than Owen.
