oh Lord...that life jacket will follow him around his whole life, just like the blue shorts.

I thought they made him wear the life jacket? that's all they needed, for their newly crowned James Bond to take a header into the river and die.

mmmmm...Goran Visnjic...I agree, I sorta wanted him to get the part cause he is sexy to me...even if he is a wife cheating jackass of a man in real life.

He is? I haven't heard anything about that. Too bad, I think he's very sexy also......[/quote]

yeah, unfortunately while his wife was having trouble getting pregnant and they finally adopted a child, he was busy knocking up a woman in Croatia who had his biological child around the same time the adoption was finalized. He didn't tell his wife about it until the woman in Croatia went to the media and demanded a paternity test. Can you imagine what that felt like, to get hit with that news that your hubby knocked up a chick during a one night stand after you tried all that time to get pregnant?

Austrian town hit by James-Bond-fever

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:33:07 GMT
Vienna - Residents in the western Austrian town of Bregenz were keeping their eyes peeled Tuesday for actor Daniel Craig who is shooting several scenes for the upcoming James Bond movie in the town. A film crew will be in town until May 9 to shoot scenes for Quantum of Solace, the latest instalment in the movie series featuring the British secret agent.

Filming Tuesday started with a chase scene in the city's festival hall, a spokesman for the Bregenz opera festival said.

The city's annual opera festival, with its signature floating stage on Lake Constance, will play a prominent role in the movie.

In the evening several streets in the medieval town, with a population of 30,000, will be closed off for filming, before filming on the floating stage Wednesday.

For James Bond to chase his adversaries across the huge stage, which is dominated by elaborate props and a huge eye, festival organizers set up a complete performance of Puccini's Tosca, complete with audience.

National Post spoof Daniel Craig diary entry

Dear Diary: Daniel Craig
As imagined by Joseph Brean of the National Post

MONDAY

Bad news from Italy, where they are shooting scenes for my upcoming James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, whatever that means. Last week, a spectator had a heart attack. Then the Aston Martin delivery man drove the car into a lake. Today, a stuntman was hurt in a pile-up. The papers are calling it a curse, which frankly is better publicity than all that nonsense last time about how I was punched in the teeth, got heat rash and can't drive standard. But it's got me worried all the same. I fear these mishaps are symptomatic of declining standards in the Bond franchise, and not just on safety. Consider my latest female lead. Her name is Camille. Seriously, does that sound like a Bond Girl to you? Sounds like a horse-faced royal consort to me. No hint of perversion, no erotic little cipher. It's a name that belongs in bloody Atonement, not the Quorum of Scholars or whatever, and it's not the first time. Remember Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale? Pretty, yes, but her name sounded like something Latin you'd say to a priest. "Vesper Lynd, father, for I neglected my knitting this week." Bollocks, I say. Bring back the lusty moniker. Sean Connery had Plenty O'Toole and Pussy Galore. Roger Moore had Holly Goodhead. Pierce Brosnan had Xenia Onatopp. Even Timothy Bleedin Dalton had Lupe Lamora. And me? I get Camille, just Camille, like Cher without the innuendo. Forget the unscripted car crashes, that's plenty enough to kill the box office in Middle America.

TUESDAY

I woke up in such a funk that I called the producer. Her name is Barbara Broccoli. For real. I said she must be really steamed over these accidents. No answer. I should watch those vegetable jokes, what with all the people being injured in car crashes. So I told her that in my next film, we should script a character called Vershali Undress, an Indian arms dealer who takes Bond to Bollywood and gets him Kama Sutrified. I said we could probably get Aishwarya Rai, but Cathy Cauliflower was cold. "What next film?" she said. Now, I may look like I'm chiselled from marble, but I have feelings, you know.

WEDNESDAY

Another flippin' accident with the stunt cars, and this time a stuntman is in a coma. This Quarrel of Solar watchamacallits is going off the rails, and the studio has suspended filming. This gave me an opportunity to have a word with Marc Foster, the director. He sounded quite upset when I called, and did not seem very enthusiastic about my latest idea for an Italian Bond Girl called Bertha Submarino. "I'll talk to the studio," he said.

THURSDAY

Given this unplanned vacation, I'm just lounging around the house today with my fiancee, Satsuki Mitchell... See! That's what I'm talking about. A name's got to be memorable. Satsuki is, but Camille? Sounds like a type of towel. Anyway, Satsuki and I came up with another Bond Girl prospect --Pokki Nippelsen, the Scandinavian nanotechnologist. But then she stormed off when I suggested Sienna Miller should play her. "Okay, okay," I called after her. "How about Jodie Foster?"

FRIDAY

Barbara Broccoli called today with an unusual message. It seems the writers are complaining about my "meddling," and she's on their side. She said I'm "talent," not "creative," and I should keep my ideas to myself or risk a union grievance. I said she should bloody well concentrate on stuntmen who send rare sportscars plunging off corniches, not actors with a bit of vision. But that's that, I suppose. So much for the sultry Russian cryptographer, Vaginica Trot-sky.

Thanks a lot for the newspapers Montana

Nice to have some german text for a change.

By and large, it says that they choose to forward the chase scene in the Festspielhaus. Someone complained that they had to remove poster from the walls mostly those of wrong sponsors LOL.

Daniel is playing his little GET AWAY games, so that the waiting peopler either got to see nothing at all or his double.

Apart from that, only things we know. Tonight is the filming with 1500 extras (D_C maybe?)

Oh and one waiter said, he looks like a mix of Steve McQueen and Vladimir Putin. So what else is new?
