As for the Olsen twins, well so far it's only a rumour, and as it's very early days I'm thinking it'll probably stay that way too. Not the most reliable source. As for Visnjic, I can see no reason not to include him. I'm sure we'll get to know more over the next few months.
I'm more interested in the title, the story and who's going to direct at the moment.
Can you imagine the Olsen twins as dual love interests for Craig's Bond? Talk about the Twilight Zone......

I don't think they're trying to sink to the depths of the Brosnan era again bj.
If the Olsen twins do land a role, I don't think it'll be as a love interest for Bond.

Having them would still be strange.

Well of course it would be. They don't seem to fit the Bond franchise. But I'm willing to give anyone a fair go.
Unlike some. :wink:

May 2, 2008: Iron Man: They showed the filming in the desert of this Favreau film. I cannot see how Downey Jr. can pull off a superhero role. Paltrow is his love interest. Lara Croft Tomb Raider was just on cable. Craig was no where near the bulked up hulk he was in CR. I wonder if he took steroids. Conditioning and eating might not do the trick in such a short time. He was quoted saying he is getty flabby now and will have to work out again to get in shape for Bond. Will he show up looking beefed up in Bond 22?

What are you prattling on about there bj?
You're now suggesting that Daniel Craig used steroids to get the body he had in CR?
Can he get that body back for filming Bond 22?
Yes.

He was never bulked up like that in any other film I have seen him in. Sylvester Stallone bulked up for Rocky 2,3,and 4, so it is quite possible that is the easiest route, especially these days.

He balked up for the role bj. I also think it's wrong for you to assume that he used steroids to do this.

With hard work, the right diet and correct supplements, it could be done BJ. Craig had a decent physique in Layer Cake and has obviously built on it.

Did anyone actually believe Craig looked better with the bodybuilding? I think he looked better with his natural build. James Bond is supposed to be tough and plausible, not the Incredible Hulk.

That was one of my problems with his role. Bond is not a wrestler in the WWE, and to me, it did not look natural.

I said I wonder if he took steroids, not that he did use steroids to attain that physique.

Interesting new avatar, but young Skywalker was Luke, not Anakin, or were you always Anakin,in reference to your avatar?

I didn't see the incredible hulk in Casino Royale.
And the fact that Daniel Craig bulked up for the role surely can't be a bad thing. All of the Bonds looked good physically. I really think some of you are clutching at straws here, regarding Craigs physique.
Was Red Grant a problem for anyone in FRWL?

Your avatar's namesake was perfect, as an enemy of Bond. Connery was not bulked up, neither was Lazenby,Moore, Dalton,or Brosnan, as Bond should not be.

So another problem some of you have with Craig is that he looked to fit?
Why am I not surprised. :roll:

Out of character for the role of Bond to be muscle bound Nash. Would you like to see Indiana Jones with a beard, Superman with no hair, the Incredible Hulk colored blue, Spiderman in a green costume, or an un-masked Lone Ranger?

Again you're clutching at straws here bj.
Craig was not so musclebound as to not look the part. So you don't like the blonde hair, and the two inches in lack of height are noticeable to you and it bothers you. And now his muscles are too big.
Were Connerys tattoos and lack of hair a problem for you?
Did Moores Bond going into space not make you wince?
I understand you don't like Craig, but this is getting ridiculous.

Count me as another person who thought that Craig's bodybuilding was uneccersary and out of character for James Bond.

Well I guess I shouldn't expect too many people to agree with me.
