Said the wag: "Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman in police uniforms? All the boys will be there!"

The BOYS? :shock:

Just checked some online buzz and it's looking very possible.

But this source can be believed.

Excellent!! So now we know what he is fitting in between Bonds and it won't be too strenuous for his shoulder. :D This sounds right up his street as well.....conflicted character full of angst.

He did say he wanted a nice theatre role and he's got one. Maybe if it is successful, it will come to London. Image

It's interesting that Babs is keeping her money-spinning man close to her side. :wink:

If this is correct I think it's wonderful. It means another opportunity to keep his acting credentials up to scratch and avoid the "Bond curse" of being type-cast.

Love it that it is making it all over the mainstream press, but not impressed that they cannot get basic facts right. :evil:

"Though Craig hasn't performed on the stage since his days as a struggling young actor...." - - - so what was his role opposite Michael Gambon in A Number in 2002 (the same year as Road to Perdition!!!) - was that fairy mist? :evil: Grrrrr........

I love that it is a two person drama - god, just the two of them...

I don´t remember, if it was in the open forum or in pm´s, but I have written just recently "Do a play, buddie, do a play" :lol: Seems he listens. Good boy, Dan :mrgreen:

I know I probably shouldn't "bite", but this report makes it sound like Daniel is somehow Hugh Jackman's "second wheel" and so I left a comment on their web site..........grrrrrr


"Though Craig hasn't performed on the stage since his days as a struggling young actor...." So his starring role on stage in London in 2002 with Michael Gambon in "A Number" was what? As this was the same year he co-starred with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman in Road to Perdition, and 10 years into his career, this hardly makes it a performance of "a struggling young actor" Very nice to hear his latest role is being publicised but it would also be nice if you got the facts of his career correct!"

I know that it's presumptuous of me... but I just made a date with a friend that's a big HJ fan. We are penciled in for a sometime this fall!
