James Bond Actor Wants Some Boy-on-Boy Action
The newest actor to portray James Bond, Daniel Craig, stated the character could use some updating and modernizing. He claimed the best way to do this is to give the notorious ladies man some new proclivities. Craig suggested a gay scene might spice things up.
"I mean, look at (British TV series) Doctor Whothat has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye," he added.
Craig also stated he was fine going full-frontal in the newest Bond installment, Casino Royale.
"Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it,"
Um, ok
Was it really your dick, dude? Craig reportedly had a body double for nude scenes.
"I had stunt men all the way. Stunt penises? I've got four or five."
Whats with the stunt penis? Dame Judi Dench claimed you have a gigantic schlong. She caught a glimpse of your junk when she was stalking you outside your trailer.
She revealed: "It's an absolute monster! Maybe I shouldn't have said that. How uncouth of me!"
Oh, Judi! You dirty girl!
Cornell's Casino Royale Theme
In late July, when it surfaced that Chris Cornell was tapped to do the Bond theme for Casino Royale, I didn't hide my disappointment. Cornell is loud, but he's not grand or classy, which is how I like my Bond themes.
The Cornell choice is not too surprising as Sony has made it clear they wish to revamp the classic camp and cool of James Bond in favor of a colder, harder edged hero and bigger special effects. While we have to wait until November 17th to judge the movie's merits, you can already put your votes in whether Cornell was sound decision.
Here is the trailer with the Cornell penned theme:
If the sample was too short by your standards to make an informed decision, here is a link to the complete song.
James Bond Theme: Shaken, Not Sure.
The rumors circulating the web that Goldfrapp was on the menu to write the theme to Casino Royale, the latest Bond Adventure, an interesting choice to be sure, have been subsequently quashed by Musical Director David Arnold. David Arnold told BBC's 6 Music:
The Goldfrapp thing came about I believe as a Bond fan made up a fake fan art poster and put it on the net. He listed on the credits music by Goldfrapp as that was a band he would like to see doing it, and a French website decided that it was real so published a story. The internet is really quite amazing.
He added that he had already been working with the chosen artist for the films main song and that their identity would be revealed soon.
Sadly, reports suggested that Goldfrapp was very excited to do the theme. Bad news guys. At least you'll always have "Miami Vice." So who is doing the theme? If you believe him, Chris Cornell said in an interview with a Finnish Newspaper that he's doing it.
To be asked to pen the James Bond theme has always been a thing of honor. While the franchise has sometimes had a penchant to tap the hot thing on the market, legends have often stepped into those shoes including the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, and Madonna (which was a mistake, sorry Madge).
You have to bring your A game to the studio when writing for Bond, because the backdrop is usually some seriously hot women with guns. While I don't think a song is gonna top Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better," the argument could go on forever. You know Kanye's got Shirley Bassey's back with her "Diamonds are Forever," and you know GNR loves Paul's "Live and Let Die."
It is unfortunate but unsurprising that as Sony tries to change the tried and true more cool than killer, gadget savy maestro that is James Bond into some cold assassin for younger, action hungry audiences, they are also handing over theme song crown to Chris Cornell of Audioslave.
Chris had this to say about Casino Royale:
I haven't seen the new Bond fully, because it is still being edited, but I have seen several clips of it. Absolutely amazing movie. Very different than earlier Bonds.
Maybe he's lying.
He's not.
