Bond fans to boycott new film

James Bond fans angered by the decision to cast actor Daniel Craig as 007 have launched a website threatening to boycott the new film 'Casino Royale'.

The web site, www.craignotbond.com, calls on fans "to stop Sony and Eon [Productions] from ruining the future of James Bond by hiring Daniel Craig".

However, former Bond star Pierce Brosnan has defended his successor, calling him "a very fine actor".

He went on to say: "These are rocky waters, but I think he will have the last laugh."

Meanwhile, the craignotbond.com website describes Pierce Brosnan as "the most beloved actor to play Bond since Sean Connery".
