Bond, James Bond

Being an ardent fan of Britain’s most stylish Super spy, I was keenly following the 'hunt' for the new James Bond. Finally, the hunt is over. Read on...

Daniel Craig has been revealed as the new James Bond!!
This was announced at a press conference in London. Daniel '007' Craig arrived to the scene by a Speedboat!!
He will take over from Pierce Brosnan for the next film Casino Royale. Casino Royale is due to start filming in January.

The English Media is going over board about this 'New Bond' being the first 'Blond' Bond!!
(Hey, I just 'made up' a tongue twister!! New Bond is the first Blond Bond!!!)

Other contenders for the job were Clive Owen, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law and Colin Farrell. And if rumors are to be believed Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom were in the list too.
