So..how long now to a knighthood? :)
It's the same story...
No, @DC007 is the torch carrier. He pleaded to open the show, but he isn't the current James Bond and all. Just minor technicalities... ;)
James Bond Honoured To Open Olympic Games
Daniel Craig says opening the London 2012 Olympics as James Bond would be a great honour - but he's denied filming a sketch in the Buckingham Palace as previously reported.
Speaking to LBC 97.3 on the set of new 007 film Skyfall, the British actor remained vague about rumours there'd been a personal invitation from the Queen.
"When am I getting it? Accordng to the papers, I've got an invitation, I've been, had tea, sat out with the corgis - I've been making a Bond movie for the past 6 months! Its all a bit of...I'm just a bit non-plussed about the whole thing."
The Sun newspaper reported on April 1st Craig and opening ceremony artistic director Danny Boyle have shot a short film that sees 007 at Buckingham Palace being told he is to launch the 2012 games. He's then flown by helicopter to the Olympic stadium and parachutes into Stratford.
When asked further about it by LBC's Showbiz Editor Jo Parkerson Craig admitted "If we were involved it would be an honour it would be great."
And Producer Barbara Broccolli was coy but enthusiastic about any role. "I think we're excited about the Olympics just as everyone else is its a great year to be British" she said.
But Dame Judi Dench - revising her role as M - didn't have a clue! "Who's in it? (Daniel) Is he? Oh he's kept that quiet - are you sure?"
So either Daniel's forgotten to tell her or Judi's a great actress...you decide!! 'Skyfall' is the 23rd Bond movie and is released in UK cinemas on October 26th.

I'm fine with being the torch carrier :)
But I doubt its true. Probably a joke or a prank.Or maybe not.
James Bond is a British institution ! and I'm sure the Queen would have a lot of fun filming such scene, which will become an instant classic.
Maybe after 50 years of service Bond and the Queen think otherwise? ;)
Also, didn't Bond not want to get knighted in one of the continuation novels ?
I could picture that scene perfectly. ;)
2nd film :)
He will this time :)
It's David Tennant who should be the final torch carrier.
NOT the right thing to say on a Bond board [-X
Why not?
It's cool about Bond being knighted though, reminds me a bit of Johnny English.
I like Tennant. But thinking of Britain, the UK, and the world: many more people around the globe would know Bond, not as many Dr. Who. And Bond is really iconic. Any other ideas who are actually being considered for the final torch bearer? I love the Olympics; I so wish I could be in London this summer!
