It’s all over the net just now, but one of the more trusted sources I would credit is Vic over at Screen Rant where he shows the story from This is London with a story from the Daily Mail.
Now before we go any further let me say that many of the rumours have come from papers such as the Daily Mail and the Sun, neither of which are sterling news sources, but as I say it’s everywhere so maybe it is true…
In the end a shortlist of two emerged – Craig and newcomer Henry Cavill. The pair were auditioned again and tried on tuxedos to see how they would look in the quintessential Bond clothing.
Craig, 37, whose choice will be confirmed by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson later this week, will be the sixth Bond, but the first blond.
I’m with Vic here, there was a big hoo-hah about Brosnan being too old to play the younger Bond and that there was only a certain age bracket they were looking at, Campbell even reiterated that just the other day, but now we’re being told that a 37 year old has the role? Strange, and daft if age was a concern, still, I always thought Craig was a good choice.
What do you think, are you happy about this (if it’s true!)?
