Sean Connery no longer 'best Bond'

PRLog (Press Release) – May 27, 2008 – James Bond fans from around the globe have voted the newcomer as the best ever Bond.

David Black, who is chairman of the International James Bond Fan Club which conducted the poll, said: "This has come as a massive surprise.

"For most people, Connery is the ultimate Bond. He was the first and for many years considered to be the best.

"But for Bond fans, Daniel Craig exhibits all the traits that Bond creator Ian Fleming originally wrote about."

Craig is currently filming the 22nd James Bond movie - The Quantum of Solace - which is expected in cinemas later this year.

Mr Black added: "Excitement about the new film is already growing. Daniel Craig and the producers have managed to re-invigorate the franchise with something new and exciting.

"I think that too has appealed to our members which in turn has helped Daniel move quickly into the top spot."

The poll took place on the club's website at www.007.info and involved members in more than 40 countries.
