'The title of the 23rd James Bond film has been confirmed as Skyfall.

The latest 007 adventure will star Daniel Craig for the third time. Leading ladies have been confirmed as French actress Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris.

Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for 1999's American Beauty.

Mendes said the storyline will take the secret agent to London, China, Turkey and Scotland.

The movie, which sees the return of Dame Judi Dench as M, will also star Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem - as the villain of the piece.

It will be released in the UK on 26 October 2012.'

“Craig’s bumbling and ineptness”

Huh?? There’s all sorts of cleverness in Craig’s Bond that go well past one-liners. But he has those too and they are above par as well.

A—that was a joke. I know you Yanks have a problem with the dry British humour.

B—Most cars these days are automatic.

Given that Craig is a crappy James Bond and that Connery, Brosnan and Dalton aare too old, Wh do you think would make thew best James Bond out of the current crop of actors?

My pick would be Jason Isaacs.

Dame Judi Dench is a treasure. I like everything she does. I try hard to stay awake on Sat night to watch her in “As Time Goes By”.

Re: ...I am pleased they’ve done away with the PPK...

Well, then you should love the Sten my favorite Bond used... in the 1967 Casino Royale takeoff on 007--

It was... a hoot!

And it... still is--

If I do say so myself, it was... good, clean fun.

Connery set a standard that no replacement Bond has been able to match.

yeah, as an American of 100% English descent, English lit major, and (still, somewhat) Anglophile, I guess I'm just too stupid.

it most certainly was not a joke.

This gent had my vote over Craig:



He has been very busy over the last 5 years or so.

Yes it was.

He joked about Bond and Blofeld getting it on. I saw the interview, it was a joke.

I have an issue with anti-gun actors who make money off guns. Who then use their fame and money to try and take my guns. The few I did lose in that tragic fishing accident.
