Bond producers refuse to comment on Craig speculation

James Bond producers have refused to comment on reports that British actor Daniel Craig will be the next 007.

A spokesperson for production company Eon said: "We're waiting for our director to finish the film he's currently working on. Then I'm sure we'll be commenting a lot on all sorts of things."

'Goldeneye' director Martin Campbell will start work on the next Bond film 'Casino Royale', after making 'The Legend of Zorro', which is due to be released in October.

A spokesperson for Daniel Craig also declined to comment. Other names linked with the role have included Clive Owen and Hugh Jackman. The new star will be the sixth official James Bond after Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, George Lazenby and Sean Connery.
