We have new 007

The name's Bond. James Bond
.

This line has almost become a trite, but has always been associated with class and elegance! After Pierce Brosnan announced that Die Another Day would be his last outing in the famous tuxedo, the search was on to find his successor. Couple of days back, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Sony Pictures Entertainment, announced the arrival of new Bond Man. It is Daniel Craig, who takes over 007 mantle.

Craig will follow in the footsteps of previous Bond stars Pierce Brosnan, Sir Sean Connery, Sir Roger Moore, George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton. Daniel Craig has been cast in the role of the legendary British secret agent, James Bond, in the highly anticipated 007 adventure thriller Casino Royale.

Casino Royale will be the 21st James Bond film produced by the franchise holders, EON Productions. The MGM/Columbia Pictures production begins shooting in January and is due for release worldwide on November 17, 2006. It will be filmed in the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Italy and the UK.
