The star popped into a North Yorkshire country outfitters with three friends to try on an array of caps.

Locals in Helmsley were shocked at his choice of headwear after seeing him emerge from Carter's Country Wear.

One said: "Most of the people who shop there are hunting, shooing and fishing types and farmers.

"I just can't imagine James Bond in a flat cap, he'll look more like Victor Meldrew."

Craig, who starred in the latest Bond film Casino Royale bought three flat caps in Carter's before leaving with friends in a Land Rover.

Jane Debenham who lives in Pockley, near Helmsley, assisted Craig but had no idea who he was.

"It could hardly have been less exciting because I didn't have a clue who he was," she said.

Invasion was directed by German helmer Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall) but, according to Collider.com, the reshoots that were recently done will change the film far more substantially than first thought.

Collider claims that "Warner Bros. saw an early rough cut of The Invasion and realized it needed a little work. The director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, was 'unavailable' to work on the planned reshoots, so Warner Bros. and [producer] Joel Silver brought in a pair of writer/directors that they knew they could rely upon, The Wachowski Brothers.

My night at the BAFTAs
Curtsying to Helen Mirren, threatening to arrest Idi Amin - and being called "a fucking fool" by Daniel Craig

I am standing at the heart of the glittering glamour-dump of the BAFTA awards, and He is walking towards me. It is Bond. James Bond. His expression is an angry blank, because he has just gunned down dozens of Armenian bomb-makers. (Or perhaps because he has failed to win the Best Actor award). I was sitting almost directly above him when the award slipped from his bloody grasp barely an hour ago, and he offered a forced hard handclap, each meeting of his hands representing another small fracture in his heart. I knew then Our Time had come. What Daniel Craig needs now to comfort him, I declared to the people sitting in the Royal Opera House with me, is the love of a fat homosexual. ... Читать дальше »

Starring actor Daniel Craig, the latest 007 film proved a huge hit with fans and won acclaim for Craig, who many people first doubted had what it takes to play the suave secret agent.

Tarantino said he wanted to make a more gritty and less glamorous Bond film with previous 007 actor Pierce Brosnan but was told that it was unfilmable, the Mirror newspaper reports.

But just months later production began on Casino Royale, with the emphasis on a tougher Bond and his role as a killer.

"I resent that none of them gave me a shout-out that I'm the one got them making Casino Royale," he said.

We all know Sir Elton John likes a spot of dressing up, and he didn't disappoint at his 60th birthday bash, donning his best military tackle.

Walking hand-in-hand with partner David Furnish, who was dressed as a US Marine, Sir Elton celebrated his 60th year – and artist Sam Taylor-Wood's 40th – at a fancy dress party in the East End.

The black-tie affair at Shoreditch Town Hall was studded with other celebs including Hugh Grant, Sting and Thandie Newton.

Birthday girl Sam led the way in a floor-length 40s white evening gown, while Daniel Craig sported a pin-strip gangster suit and Stella McCartney wore a long army greatcoat.

Sorry, Elton, but we think you're more Dad's Army than military chic.

Britain's biggest stars could all be found on BBC1 last Friday, using comedy sketches and live performances to raise money for the 2007 Comic Relief benefit. But of those who participated, the biggest buzz came from comedian Catherine Tate's contributions - reports the DailyReel.

Taking on such pillars of British society as Tony Blair and Doctor Who, Tate dominated the night -- especially when she met the biggest icon of them all.

Stars are arriving for the Orange Baftas awards ceremony in London.

Casino Royale star Daniel Craig, a best actor nominee for his performance as James Bond, said: "Win or lose, it's going to be a good night."

The film picked up nine nominations, while royal drama The Queen leads the field with 10, including one for Dame Helen Mirren as best actress.

LONDON Feb 4, 2007 (AP)— Daniel Craig was honored but Helen Mirren was denied Sunday at the 34th annual Evening Standard British Film Awards.

Mirren, who is an Academy Awards favorite for her turn as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen," lost the best actress prize to Judi Dench, awarded for her portrayal of a predatory schoolteacher in "Notes on a Scandal."

With just a few days to go until votes for Oscar nomination are due, let me make a last-minute push for what on the surface might seem a laughable candidate -- but bear with me!

I am speaking of one Daniel Craig as James Bond 007 in "Casino Royale," and I am not joking. Craig has entirely remade the concept of James Bond as a character, and with 40 years of prehistory, that's hard to do. His Bond was not only totally unlike the performances of the five actors who had played Bond before him, but it was a fully realized character, with emotions, tough choices and real acting involved. Plus, "Casino Royale" is a fine film, co-written by Oscar-winner Paul Haggis and featuring an excellent supporting performance from another Oscar-winner, Judi Dench, among others.

007 becomes top 2006 film in U.K.
'Dead Man's Chest' forced into second place

By ARCHIE THOMAS

LONDON — Sony's "Casino Royale" has become the U.K.'s top-grossing pic of 2006 thanks to another solid weekend holdover.

Last weekend, the Bond pic dipped just 20% to take £917,000 ($1.8 million).

Daniel Craig starrer has now scooped just over ($104 million) in nine frames, nudging it past the $103 million taken by "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," which opened July 7.

Launching in late November, "Casino Royale" got off to a fast start, banking $21.6 million in its first three days -- the third biggest bow in U.K. box office history. Fueled by strong word of mouth, "Casino Royale" did impressive biz over the holiday period.

Washington, Dec 6: Actor Daniel Craig who had a very successful outing as the new James Bond in 'Casino Royale' reveals that he is a huge fan of German heavy metal music.

The British actor has attributed his unusual taste in music to having a former German girlfriend. He also admits the he loves the music of long-running German punk rockers Die Toten Hosen.

"I quite like German heavy metal music, like the band Die Toten Hosen. It's probably because I was seeing a German girl for a while," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Craig was previously married to British actress Fiona Loudon. They had one child together, Ella, who was born in 1992. He is currently dating twenty-nine year old film producer, Satsuki Mitchell.

The 38-year-old actor upset many diehard 007 fans because, not only was he blond, but he also admitted to having a fear of guns and heights and allegedly struggled to drive a manual car.
However, Craig - whose portrayal of Bond was universally acclaimed -insists that is now all in the past, saying: "You have to forgive and forget and move on." Craig was one of the key components that officially made 'Casino Royale' the most successful Bond movie of all time. The action film raked in over £272 million at the global box office.

Ее патронирует знаменитая американская телеведущая Опра Уинфри. По слухам, актеры не хотят никакой роскоши и блеска. Для них будет выступать ансамбль традиционной африканской музыки. На более чем скромную церемонию приглашены Мадонна и Гай Ричи, Джордж Клуни, а также Дэниэл Крейг - новый Джеймс Бонд.

BLOND ..JAMES BLOND / HAIR WE GO.. 2

BOND star Daniel Craig has clearly developed a darker side since growing up judging by this teenage picture - his hair.

The 007 actor's barnet was even blonder as a youngster than it is today.

Former girlfriend Marina Pepper took the shot of Daniel when he was 18.

And she said she was shocked at how much his golden locks had changed when she saw the 38-year-old after he landed the spy role in Casino Royale.

Marina added: "I was surprised when I saw him on TV after he was named Bond because his hair looked totally different.

"He used to have strawberry blond hair, but seems to have gone darker."

The first fair Bond has come a long way since, but Daniel will never forget his roots.

Эта картина станет первой частью будущей серии из нескольких фильмов по фэнтези-трилогии Филипа Пуллмана "Темные начала". В центре сюжета мистической сказки — приключения юной Лайры Белакуа (Дакота Блю Ричардс) и роль, которую она играет в войне, столкнувшей между собой множество разных миров. Одну из главный ролей в проекте сыграет и Николь Кидман.

Actress SIENNA MILLER has vowed never to date an older man after relationships with JUDE LAW and DANIEL CRAIG revealed they can't keep up with her frantic lifestyle. Sienna split from on/off boyfriend Law, 34, in November (06) and she has also had a fling with new 007 Craig, who is 38. But the ALFIE star, 25, was far from impressed by their staid ways, and suspects a toy boy would better suit her party habits. She says, "They (mature men) want a sophisticated woman. But then I can also behave like a crazy young thing... and they can't keep up."

The new James Bond actor, who made his debut as the secret agent in the critically acclaimed 'Casino Royale', is famed for his piercing blue eyes.
However, Craig is paranoid he will lose his most attractive feature and his rugged good looks won't have the same effect on women.
He said: "Sometimes I think they are getting bluer, maybe. But maybe in 10 years' time they're going to go buoomph! And just go out, and that'll be it. Old grey eyes is back." Craig was recently named the world's sexiest man.
He topped a poll conducted by condom maker Durex, who quizzed 4,000 women on their favourite famous men.
Craig's piercing blue eyes and rippling physique as he emerges from the sea in tiny blue swimming trunks in 'Casino Royale' proved to be a major vote winner.
He beat off stiff competition from a host of Hollywood heartthrobs, including George Clooney and Johnny Depp, to win the title.

Многие женщины во время секса мечтают о Дэниеле Крейге, таковы результаты недавнего интернет-опроса, проведенного в Великобритании. Большинство опрошенных представительниц прекрасного пола признались, что они регулярно представляют нового Джеймса Бонда на месте их реальных избранников во время занятий любовью.

Крейг возглавил список мужчин, о которых фантазируют женщины, опередив судью из «Икс-Фактора» Саймона Ковела, которому удалось занять всего лишь второе место. «Я ожидал, что окажусь на первом месте, - нескромно отметил Ковел. - Я ведь действительно очень привлекательный».

Актер Джесси Меткалф, известный по фильмам «Сдохни, Джон Такер» и «44 минуты» оказался на третьем месте, на четвертом - звезда британского футбола Дэвид Бэкхэм. Брэд Питт расположился на почетном пятом месте.
