Daniel Craig arrives to press conference in true James Bond style

Casino Royale - 14-10-05

Daniel Craig arrived at his official press conference in true James Bond style today.

The new, sixth, 007 actor arrived at a press conference in London by speedboat.

Speaking shortly after arriving, Craig said, "I'd like to thank the royal marines for bringing me in like that, and scaring the shit out of me."



The 37-year-old actor will be the sixth James Bond, taking over from Pierce Brosnan, 52, for the next Bond movie.

Production of Casino Royale is due to start in January and director Martin Campbell has said it will be "tougher, grittier and more realistic".

Asked earlier this year if he would take the role, Craig replied: "Well, the emotional level is not there and that's important for me. I'd want that to change but I don't know how ready they'd be to change."

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
