Press Release Body = New James Bond actor Daniel Craig was being interview today on the American syndicated entertainment program 'Extra', where he was asked how he handled the reaction from hard core Bond fans, who were less than satisfied with him being chosen a the new 007 replacement?
Extra Reporter Tanika Ray: "There's a lot of people who are Bond freaks who are like 'I don't know about this Daniel Craig'."
Daniel Craig: \"We\'re making a movie, and I think we\'re making a really good movie,\" Craig said. \"When it comes out, if they still feel the same way then, you know, screw them!\"
In reaction to Craig's harsh words for the multitude of fans who have merely questioned him as the choice to play Bond, CraigNotBond.com Spokesperson Deanna Brayton had this to say:
"As someone who has been a lifelong Bond fan and an admirer of the humanitarian work and dignified bearing of former Bonds Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and Sean Connery, I believe that Daniel Craig has disgraced himself with his brusque remarks. It only goes further to support the position held by many fans that Daniel Craig has neither the class required for the role of Bond, nor the character to be the caretaker of such a beloved and iconic movie hero. Our only hope is that Bond fans who have been on the fence about Mr. Craig will now realize that we who were unhappy with him from day one were right all along."
