You Will Soon Have Daniel Craig Under Your Thumb

The first image from the new Quantum of Solace video game has been released and I'm impressed by the likeness they've created of Daniel Craig. Word is that, as a gamer himself, "Craig is even acting as quality assurance, keeping an eye on his likeness and the progress of development."

Since the game, thought titled after his second flick, will also cover the action of Casino Royale, let's hope that Craig doesn't leave out the most famous shot of all.

Daniel Craig: Why is Everyone Ramming Amy Winehouse Out?

Last week, news spread that Amy Winehouse was on the shortlist to sing the title track for the new Bond flick Quantum of Solace (for which a graphic teaser poster was released last week - above, right).

Daniel Craig threw water on the speculation to MTV: "Why is everyone ramming Amy Winehouse out? It’s just way, way off that. Everyone's speculating about it but we've got other things to deal with - there's no point in writing the song for a movie when we haven't got a movie."

Perhaps Craig will change his tune now that Winehouse is a five-time Grammy winner.

Daniel Craig to Get Naked For Next Bond?

Daniel Craig recently told Brit tabloid The Sun that he'd be up for getting naked in the next, as yet untitled, Bond film: "I'd go totally nude. I've got nothing to hide, and after all, we ask the girls to reveal almost all, so why not the men?"

Of his famous scene in Casino Royale where he steps out of the ocean in a pair of square-cuts, he said: "Did I know the trunk thing would be such a big deal? Yeah. I saw it on a huge billboard in Hollywood and people were screaming. It did make me feel rather nervous."

Said Brand: "He's a challenge to my heterosexuality. He's effortless. If I knew I was about to die, I'd be out there chatting up Daniel Craig. “I'm going to give him such a big cuddle, that man. I could be a vicious Bond girl!"

Ross later joked with Craig about his own admiration for the Bond hunk: "You've got a very distinctive looking face. If you don't mind me saying so. You're a very handsome man. I think you're a very handsome man. And I hope you find me a little bit handsome as well. You've got a craggy old face — in a good way. You've encountered this before, I'm sure."

Daniel Craig has reportedly requested that studio execs "modernize" the Bond series by including gay scenes as well as full-frontals "to please both his male and female admirers" (like Dame Judi Dench).

Said Craig: "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. I mean, look at (British TV series) Doctor Who - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye."

Daniel Craig: Hottest Bond Ever?

What a slab. The Guardian has a great piece on the new, buffed up James Bond:

"...Craig has made himself iconic in the most familiar way. He is simply demonically sexy. The frame of the movie where he emerges from the sea in those clinging trunks is so scorchingly hot I feel embarrassed watching it, even when alone. It has been used as the key piece of pre-publicity on the movie, and with good reason. Good film directors recognise gold dust when they see it. This is the kind of image that even straight men can't peel their eyes from...The traditional term for all this is 'homo-erotica'. But that's not quite right here. Craig in his swimming trunks has cemented the emergence of a new type of adoration of the male form. This is hetero-erotic, too."

Daniel Craig's gay appeal has to have been helped by his role in the recent Truman Capote biopic Infamous (even though he played a killer) in which he planted a kiss on the lips of Brit actor Toby Jones. And a recent quote from his Bond co-star Judi Dench certainly hasn't hurt. Said Dench of Craig's sizable appendage: "It's an absolute monster! Maybe I shouldn't have said that. How uncouth of me!"

Casino Royale is certainly the first Bond movie I've looked forward to in quite some time.

Toby Jones and Daniel Craig's Infamous Kiss

In the latest Truman Capote biopic, Infamous, Brit actor Toby Jones shares a kiss with Daniel Craig, who plays killer Perry Smith. In Venice for the annual film festival, Jones commented on the lip-lock:

"I had never dreamed I would kiss James Bond. It's not something I would ever aspire to. Now that I've done it, I hope I'm the first of many. It was slightly abrasive, but ultimately rewarding. And neither of us are gay. We filmed the prison scene right at the end and I was aware it was going to be a pressurised situation, this very intense scene filmed in such an intimate space. I thought it was going to be the really gruelling part of the movie. But it was fantastic to work with Daniel because as an English actor there's a kind of humour that goes with those scenes. You take it seriously but you also find a way to deal with it."

According to the article's author the kiss has "dealt a blow to [Craig's] James Bond image." When will the media stop insinuating that gay kisses are career killers and start treating them for what they are — part of a script.

Daniel Craig: Gays on Board with New Bond

The choice of Daniel Craig has inspired much criticism from die-hard Bond fans, but the actor has said he'll take the sexually adventurous 007 to new places in the upcoming Casino Royale if need be. Last month he told the UK's Daily Mirror, "In today's world we expect female actresses to go naked so why not men? I have told bosses I'm prepared to do a full frontal scene. I'm not shy and Bond wouldn't be shy about it either."

Perhaps his willingness to go full frontal is what has inspired gay men to flock to the next 007.

Said Craig recently: "I was out recently and all these gay guys were over me like a rash, but they never ask about the Bond plot."

A rash? That's not a very pleasant comparison, but maybe that's why he's fingering his thunderballs.
