DANIEL CRAIG - HINDS SAYS CRAIG WILL BE BETTER BOND THAT BROSNAN

DANIEL CRAIG's JAMES BOND performance will outshine PIERCE BROSNAN's portrayal of 007, predicts the Craig's MUNICH co-star CIARAN HINDS.

Hinds was impressed by Craig's acting skills on the set of the STEVEN SPIELBERG thriller, and insists he will bring an edgy quality to the classic character in upcoming Bond movie CASINO ROYALE.

He says, "Daniel will be thoroughly dirty. He's a great choice.

"He'll be much tougher and grittier Bond, much tougher than Pierce Brosnan.

"Pierce was in that phase where Bond had to be suave yet hard. But Daniel will be very different."
