Simply Irresistible, Pt. 2

Entertainment Weekly has chosen this fall’s Casino Royale and its new James Bond, the fantastic Daniel Craig, to feature on its latest cover.

Let me just say it now: fall can’t get here soon enough.

The 21st installment of the spy series, which is based on author Ian Fleming’s first OO7 novel and examines James Bond's formative years, will arrive in theaters on Nov. 17.

While Craig was a controversial choice to take over the role most recently played by Pierce Brosnan, producer Barbara Broccoli is confident the actor is everything Bond should be.

“He’s sexy and charming and virile [and elegant], but can also be dangerous,'' she told EW.

Umm, bring it on!
