Daniel Craig wants funny Bond

Daniel Craig - whose tough portrayal of James Bond in 'Casino Royale' was
critically acclaimed - wants the next film to be inspired by former Bond
star Roger Moore, who was famed for his wit and innuendo in the role.

He said: "There are going to be more gags. The next one's going to be a lot
funnier. To me Bond has never been that macho. That Bond is something that
Sean Connery created in 'Dr. No'."
Referring to the tongue-in-cheek names of previous films and past Bond
girls, Craig added: "There will be lots of Octopussy and Pussy Galore-style
gags. They're all great names - but the Bond jokes will be flipped on their
heads."

Despite his affection for Moore, Craig, 37, doesn't want to emulate any past
Bond actors, preferring to "make the role his own".

The next film is tentatively titled 'Bond 22' and is due for release late
next year. It will be directed by 'Finding Neverland' filmmaker Marc
Forster.
