‘Skyfall’ Trailer: Daniel Craig Smolders in New James Bond Preview (VIDEO)

Andy Scott — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:00:26 +0000

“Some men are coming to kill us. We’re gonna kill them first.”

Such is the theme of the first official trailer for Skyfall, the latest — not to mention long-awaited — installment in the long-running James Bond movie franchise.

In the first Bond flick in four years, Daniel Craig returns to the title role as another outside threat hones in on MI6. This time around, things get especially personal, when pieces from M’s (Judi Dench) past come back to haunt her.

How will it all go down? Based on the trailer, it looks like it’s going to be another action-packed, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride, filled with A-listers (Javier Bardem! Ralph Fiennes!), Bond girls and — yep — a shirtless Daniel Craig.

Skyfall, from director Sam Mendes (American Beauty), opens November 9. The project was previously on hold, due to financial troubles with its studio, MGM.

Check out the trailer in our video above!

Amanda Hasaka — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:45:16 +0000

Craig. Daniel Craig.

Filming has finally started on Skyfall, the latest installment in the James Bond franchise, and some photogs caught the British actor on set in London on Friday. Looking like a complete smokeshow, Craig brought the sexiness in a perfectly tailored suit. We’re not really sure what’s going on in these scenes, but we’re sure he is going to kick some you-know-what!

We’re not really sure what’s going on in these scenes, but we’re sure he is going to kick some you-know-what!

According to IMDB, the film should be released later this year and the plot is as follows:

“Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.”

We can’t wait to see Daniel do his thing on the big screen!

‘Community’ Star Donald Glover Reveals Man Crush on Daniel Craig (PHOTOS)

Amanda Hasaka — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:21:46 +0000

Who doesn’t love Daniel Craig?

In a recent interview with GQ, hilarious Community star Donald Glover talked about a number of topics, but ultimately started dishing on the hunky Girl With the Dragon Tattoo actor.

When the mag asked who Donald would pick as his best dressed (British) man, this is what he had to say:

“Daniel Craig. Man, that’s a good-looking dude. Every time I see him I think, “I’d totally do him”. He exudes a confidence that I want. He’s got these weird zombie eyes that are piercing – you don’t want to look into them but you can’t help yourself. He’s always dressed super-well but doesn’t look like he’s trying. I like the polos on his broad shoulders.”

Love it!

This got us thinking about all those other same sex celeb crushes, because it’s not just the dudes who are admitting their guy crushes. Ladies are feeling the love, too!

Hilary Duff recently revealed she is girl crushing on Charlize Theron, while Emma Stone has admitted to digging Mad Men star Christina Hendricks.

Andy Scott — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:10:07 +0000

In what may go down as the hottest magazine issue of the new year! Vanity Fair on Tuesday released the official cover for its February edition, which features none other than George Clooney, Daniel Craig and Matt Damon.

With photos by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, the magazine puts the three Hollywood hotties through the famous Proust Questionnaire. The results? Well, you’ll have to read the full issue to find out, though the magazine did offer a bit of a tease on its website.

If George Clooney could choose what to come back as, it would be his dog—as the actor states, “he lives better.” The Descendants lead also admits to being displeased with his posture and considers patience the most overrated virtue.

Interesting!

For more on the issue, head over to Vanity Fair’s website. Of the three men, who do you think is the hottest: Daniel, George or Matt? Cast your vote in the poll and defend your decision in the comments!

Amanda Hasaka — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:47:42 +0000

Rooney Mara might be grungy and tatted up for her Girl With the Dragon Tattoo role, but she looked elegant at the film’s UK premiere!

The actress was joined by her co-star Daniel Craig as they walked the red carpet at Odeon Leicester Square in London on Monday evening. Daniel looked dashing in a winter coat as the two posed for photos.

Though it’s chilly in London, Rooney showed just the right amount of skin in this backless and cut-out white gown.

Hollywood has been buzzing about the release of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for quite some time, and audiences will finally get to the book’s adaptation when it’s released on December 21. Check out the trailer below.

‘Dragon Tattoo’ Extended Trailer: Must Watch! (VIDEO)

Laura Franco — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:10:54 +0000

There’s only two weeks left until The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo hits theaters on December 21 and now fans have been treated to an extended trailer.

The eight-minute video gives a closer look at Rooney Mara‘s gritty take on heroine Lisbeth Salander and further delves into the intense plot surrounding Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig). Rooney went into a complete physical transformation to become Lisbeth–compete with tattoos and piercing—and even stripped down for some risque photo shoots, but she was up for the challenge, telling Entertainment Weekly:

“There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn’t up for the challenge … The motorcycle was the thing I really didn’t want to do. You know, you’re going to be raped, be naked… But as soon as he was like, ‘You’re going to have to ride a motorcycle,’ I was like, ‘Oh, really?”

It seems like fans of Stieg Larsson’s 2005 best-selling novel won’t be disappointed: the film is definitely living up to its title as “the feel-bad movie of Christmas!”

Jackie Willis — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:31:08 +0000

It’s being hailed as the “Feel Bad Movie,” and though it’s not hitting theaters until Christmas time, a new extended trailer has hit the web!

Rooney Mara has transformed herself from the preppy Boston college girl in The Social Network to the edgy, dysfunctional and brooding Lisbeth Salander.

The actress stars opposite 007 actor Daniel Craig as the goth computer hacker in The Social Network director David Fincher‘s take on the first book of the late Stieg Larsson‘s hugely popular Millennium Trilogy. Craig takes on the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who is asked to solve a decades-old mystery.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo began shooting this fall in Sweden, and is scheduled for a worldwide release December 21, 2011. The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest are the other two films of the proposed series. The book series was also made into a movie trilogy in Sweden and actress Noomi Rapace played the role of Lisbeth.

Gabrielle Chung — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:00:11 +0000

With so many movies hitting theaters this Friday, it looks like there will be something for everyone at the box office!

If you’re searching for a good laugh, look no further than rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love! Funnyman Steve Carell plays Cal, a clueless husband who’s thrown under the bus when his wife asks for a divorce. Rounded out by a star-studded cast that includes Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, and Marisa Tomei, Carell attempts to hit up the chaotic singleton scene. Oh, did we also mention a shirtless Ryan Gosling will be acting as his mentor?!

Speaking of hunks, Cowboys & Aliens certainly does not shy away from handsome men!

Daniel Craig teams up with Harrison Ford to kick some extraterrestrial butt in the action flick. Set in 1873, the unlikely duo finds themselves fighting for the Earth’s survival in the dusty plains of Arizona. A movie with both Mr. James Bond AND Indiana Jones? We’re in!

Rachel Weisz’s Triple Outfit Change in NYC (PHOTOS)

Derek Schauer — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:39:16 +0000

Oscar-winner and newlywed Rachel Weisz had a fashion-packed day out in NYC while promoting her new flick, The Whistleblower. Rocking her brand-new gold wedding band, the actress made the talk show rounds in three different dresses!

Ever the mixer and matcher, Rachel clearly planned ahead, as she wore the same jewelry and sleek aviators with each new get-up! The British star first stepped out in a black dress, then a navy frock before glamming things up in a red number when she attended the film’s premiere in a form-fitting red dress.

The actress, who married James Bond star Daniel Craig in a secret ceremony last month, has been very hush-hush about the details of their nuptials, but Craig did spill a few details: “I did it secretly. I can’t tell you how I pulled it off. My private life is incredibly important to me, and certainly that aspect of it is more than incredibly important to me.”

When a couple looks this good, how can you blame us for wanting to know all of the details! We guess we’ll have to watch them shine on the big screen. The Whistleblower arrives in theaters on August 5 while Craig’s upcoming Cowboys & Aliens hits theaters on Friday, July 29.

Newlywed Daniel Craig Covers Esquire & Talks Latest ‘Bond’ Installment

Mariah Haas — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 23:59:57 +0000

The handsome British actor Daniel Craig is famous on the big screen for his daredevil roles so it should come no surprise that he’s ready to take on a new role in the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens, in addition to his James Bond duties.

It doesn’t matter which film you’re watching the cunning newlywed in though, because we all know his striking blue eyes can make quite the lasting impression.

Esquire caught up with the blue-eyed brit to get to know him more off the screen.

So not one word about the next installment of Bond, which he refers to simply as Bond 23?

“No-no-no, Sam’s gonna do it, Sam Mendes, and I’m really… really lookin’ forward to the fact that he’s gonna do it,” he says, snapping to. Mendes directed him in the gloomy thriller Road to Perdition in 2002. Craig tricks out a little smirk then. A concession, a comfort maybe.

“This has become my way, it’s as simple as that,” he says. “I mean, since I’ve just become James Bond. And I think, you know, that means being something that people feel they own. And all of the sudden I’m getting magazine covers, when I got nothing for ten years before that. I say it’s just pure luck. And doing covers, people interviewing me, and they want to know everything and I’m going, I’m not gonna … tell you!”

Craig settles once more into the clutch of his muscular recline. “Well, you know,” he says, sliding the Ray-Bans from his nose. “I mean this is actually very nice. We can talk about anything else, and hopefully it can be made interesting.”

Okay, then. What does he want to talk about?

First, it should be said: He’s right about this. He can talk about nearly anything and it is pleasant, informed, normal. Mostly the jabber of the everyday: children, politics, regret. His daughter comes up, a student in a college on the East Coast of the United States.

“I don’t really talk about her, because — well, she can’t defend herself. But she’s fantastic. Fantastic, and she’s — you know, she’s doing something.” A certain lightness comes over him then, a loosening of the features, a squaring of the hips to the table edge. The sun angles along the courtyard wall, and on his face: the shine of a pride not often allowed out for a walk. “I mean, she’s finishing her education, in the States. I said, ‘Look, there’s an opportunity here, you should take it.’ I’m in that position, and I guess that’s something that feels more than lucky. It feels essential.”

For him as a boy, he says, it was more luck. “I’d left home at sixteen, so I was independent and I could apply. I got a full grant. But I got full grant and full maintenance, … but I mean, it made the difference. I got through college,” he says. It is strangely difficult to imagine Daniel Craig as a twenty-year-old college student.

Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz Get Married — Confirmed

Celebuzz — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 23:49:15 +0000

Did wedding bells just ring for James Bond star Daniel Craig and his girlfriend Rachel Weisz? According to Rachel’s rep, they sure did.

Rachel’s rep confirmed to Celebuzz that the couple have indeed married, but did not provide any other details. The couple, who have been quietly seeing each other since November after filming The Dream House together, tied the knot in a low-key ceremony on Wednesday of last week, according to the Daily Mail. Held in New York, the ceremony was attended by only four people.

So, who were the lucky few that reportedly got to attend the ceremony?

According to reports, Rachel’s 4-year-old son with Black Swan director Darren Aronovsky, Daniel’s 18-year-old daughter and two family friends were at the low-key ceremony.

Rachel was with Darren for nine years, splitting right before she and the James Bond actor became an item. Daniel was also recently engaged to his girlfriend of five years, Satsuki Mitchell, before calling it quits.

This is the first marriage for Rachel, 41 and the second for Daniel, 43. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Olivia Wilde Goes Make-Up Free in Hawaii (PHOTOS)

Maria Mercedes Lara — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:35:00 +0000

Olivia Wilde got into the vacation spirit when she relaxed on a balcony sans make-up in Hawaii earlier this week.

The House star is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood and by the looks of these photos, that pretty face that you see on the screen is naturally good-looking.

The actress – who is currently in Hawaii for the Maui Film Festival – relaxed on her hotel balcony in sweat shorts and a loose-fitting blue t-shirt. Olivia was joined in Hawaii by Tron: Legacy co-star Garrett Hedlund, Megan Fox and Andrew Garfield.

Speaking of beautiful people, Olivia recently admitted that she has a little thing for her Cowboys & Aliens co-star Daniel Craig. “He is the most beautiful man on earth,” Wilde told E! Online. “He really is.”

Apparently Olivia wasn’t the only lady on set who thought Daniel was a serious hunk – the recently-divorced beauty reported that female executives behind Cowboys & Aliens kept highlighting Daniel’s, er, talents: “They kept making [Daniel's pants] tighter,” she reported. “You could tell we had female executives because he kept getting tighter pants and he would have random shirtless scenes. We were like, ‘Yes, finally the ladies are in charge!’”

Check out the trailer for Cowboys & Aliens below.

According to MGM, Daniel Craig will reprise the role of the super-suave British spy, despite initial questions as to his availability. Working behind the camera will be Jarhead and Road to Perdition director Sam Mendes, who will inherit helmsman duties from Solace’s Marc Foster. Veteran Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, meanwhile, will be joined by The Aviator writer John Logan to pen the script.

New James Bond Movie Scheduled for 2012

Celebuzz — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 15:31:04 +0000

Dust off the tuxedo and shake up those martinis; James Bond is back!

After ceasing plans for the 23rd James Bond movie due to financial problems, MGM is going forward with the film, eyeing a November 2012 release date for the next installment of the super-spy cinematic series.

MGM, which officially filed for bankruptcy and began restructuring proceedings earlier this year, is seeking a partner to fund the movie.

It’s still uncertain whether Daniel Craig, who played the suave British agent in 2006′s Casino Royale and 2008′s Quantum of Solace, will reprise the role. Craig is currently filming the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo remake, which is expected to bloom into a multi-film series. Nor is it known whether Sam Mendes, who was previously attached to the project, will be back on board to direct.

Are you excited to have Bond back? And if Craig doesn’t play him, who will? Let us know in the comments section.
