It's a little premature... but it seems that the new Bond has indeed been chosen. Although of course, until anything is revealed to us officially, we shall issue a pinch of salt with this news.

In a massive blow to all those who hoped beyond hope that Pierce Brosnan would in fact do just one more 007 film - the apparent chosen heir is all brand new. And he's blonde.... Step forward Mr Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig - the new Bond? The recent rumours that Daniel had a brief fling with Sienna Miller - his mate Jude's former fiance - will only enforce his appropriateness for the role. According to the Daily Mail, we will be officially informed of the new James Bond at the end of the week.

It seems it came down to a battle between Daniel and Henry Cavill. But after trying on a tux or two and several auditions it's apparently Daniel who's come out on top... but we'll keep you posted just in case Pierce is still in with a shout...
