Brosnan praises choice of Craig for Bond
Published Saturday, Dec 10 2005, 10:34 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly
Pierce Brosnan thinks that Daniel Craig is an excellent choice for James Bond.
The actor believes that producers should now let Craig play a grittier 007.
"When you look at Ian Fleming's work, it's there on the page. The martinis, the drugs, the cigarettes, the casino, the blood on the hands. But they never went there," Pierce told The Mirror.
"Hopefully, they will go there with Daniel. They have the product, they have the man, and I'm sure they will."
Brosnan, who describes Craig as "a fantastic actor", was told that he had been dropped from the role last year.
