Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: "As we wrap production on Casino Royale, we couldn't be more excited about the direction the franchise is heading with Daniel."

"Daniel has taken the origins of Ian Fleming's James Bond portraying, with
emotional complexity, a darker and edgier 007."
The 38-year-old actor, who was chosen to replace Pierce Brosnan in the role
last year, has faced criticism from some fans because he has blond hair,
can't drive a manual car and doesn't like drinking martinis - Bond's
favourite tipple.
However, new Bond girl Caterina Murino insists Craig is a more realistic
secret agent than his predecessors.
She said: "This James Bond doesn't look like a little cartoon like before,
like the last one or so charming and playful like the first James Bond. This
is new."
Craig's second outing as the British super spy is scheduled to be released
in 2008.

Daniel Craig has agreed to reprise his role as the suave spy with Sony .
