The new James Bond movie has experienced more makeovers than one of those houses Ty Pennington renovates on ABC. But this much is true: Daniel Craig is the new Bond. And he has quite a bit to say about it.

While speaking candidly with MTV, Craig revealed the following tidbits, [featured in blue]:

1) He digs the script. "['Crash' writer] Paul Haggis has done a rewrite of the script and has written great dialogue. The lead girl part is fantastic, the characters are all fantastic. It's a Bond film. We're making a Bond movie first and foremost.".

2) It's not your typical Bond flick. "Although director Martin Campbell will be returning from "GoldenEye," the November '06 release (and 21st film in the series) will be unlike both those movies. It's going to be very different from anything else...it will have certain elements that will make it a Bond movie." Including the Ian Fleming source material, which is being jazzed up a bit. Case in point: Bond's game of baccarat will be switched to the trendier game of Texas Hold 'Em. And the cars are flashier, naturally.

3) He is optimistic, kind of. "Yes, I could fail miserably, but maybe I can do something that's different and make the franchise last another 30 years — as opposed to another three."

Now all Craig needs is a leading lady. After bigwigs Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron passed, Jessica Simpson is in talks to be the next catch. Then again her marriage was also rumored to be the real deal, so never believe everything that you read.
