Casino Royale (News: 28/02/2006)



Right..

I've started a HUGE thread on the OUT website but I thought I'd bring some of it over here...and hopefully including some more exclusive stuff :)


As some die-hard Bond fans (who are reading this) may know, filming of this next James Bond installment is well underway. You may have also seen some of the on-set pics that have been posted on the net already. If not..check out some of them below:






Now, personally he's not my ideal choice for Bond! I'm wondering if he too is starting to think this...given the string of bad luck he's encountered since filming started. So what has happened to Daniel so far? Well:
  • He is now suffering from prickly heat, according to a British tabloid newspaper. A source on set had this to say about it: "It's driving him mad. He constantly wants to scratch. It's worst when he does a costume change. He's in agony! He's been moaning to his assistants that he's got prickly heat. He's extremely wary of being outside now but the nature of filming is such that he is out in the heat all day.";
  • he got sunburned whilst topping up his tan before filming in the Bahamas. Ooops!
  • he had two teeth knocked out whilst filming a fight scene in Prague;
  • he's admitted that he doesn't like guns and gets queasy on speedboats;
  • and to add insult to injury, Bond's traditional Aston Martin DB5 has even had to be converted to an automatic so the star can drive it!
So what can we expect from this actor? I feel he has a lot to prove before he is even accepted by the fans. Sure...his current fan-base may be singing his praises. He can talk the talk..but can he walk the way Bond can? I'll keep you folks posted on any further developments as and when i hear them!
