LONDON, England -- One of the worst kept secrets in the entertainment industry is no longer a secret.

Daniel Craig, a blue-eyed and blond British actor, is the new James Bond.

Sony Pictures on Friday confirmed media reports that Craig will replace Pierce Brosnan as the suave British spy of the silver screen. (Watch video of new 007)

Craig's selection -- revealed by having the actor travel down the River Thames aboard a military boat, wearing Bond's trademark suit and dark glasses -- ends months of speculation over the role of agent 007.

Later, at a news conference in London, Craig appeared to be at a loss for words about his new job.

"It's something else, I can tell you, really," he said.

Craig added that his first reaction when told by producers was to say, "I need a drink."




Too bad Nobby, I was rootin' for ya.

And as for worst kept secret, I hadn't heard anything about this guy. I don't know even who he is.

They haven't announced the new Bond Babes yet. I live in hope.

Best part of that whole 'Cloak and Dagger' announcement: Craig was escorted by Marines in a speedboat, past the MI5 offices to a 'Top Secret Location' where reporters were searched, before passing through high-tech security to a 'briefing room'.

Alas, the night before, Craig's Mom had told local reporters how excited she was, and we all knew before the official event.

Nice to have an Englishman playing Bond for a change.

Weren't Roger Moore and David Niven the only English ones so far?

Does this strike anyone else as wrong?

I thought Timothy Dalton was a Brit too, but maybe not.

Yeah, I guess Bond is no longer tall, dark, and handsome. I guess we'll see.

Yeah, it's gonna take some getting used to Bond not being "tall, dark and handsome".

Layer Cake came out around the start of summer. When I was reading the reviews about this movie, the speculation that he was to be the new Bond man had already started.

Anyways, he had the lead role in this movie, which was done by Guy Ritchie (Madonna's husband) who also had a hand in Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
