Here are some newish photos of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz from this past weekend. I didn’t get around to writing about them on Sunday or Monday, mostly because they’re just nice, normal photos of a sexy married couple and no one cares about that, right? We’re at the point where we’ve seen Rachel and Daniel in the same photo before, and they’ve even walked a red carpet together, but they seem wary of really putting their relationship in the spotlight. Well… let me say it this way: Daniel is a curmudgeon and he’s permanently surly, I think. Rachel would probably be fine with putting her marriage out there a little bit more, but Daniel’s surliness holds her back. That being said, I think they probably have a HOT sex life. How could they not? Torrid. Absolutely torrid.
I do wonder if Rachel and Daniel will end up walking on some more red carpets together when it comes time for Daniel to promote his new James Bond film, Skyfall. Daniel needs Skyfall to be a big hit. Cowboys & Aliens barely made a blip, and while The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo made money, I think many people kind of felt like, “Er, why couldn’t we just watch the Swedish films with the original, better Lisbeth, also known as Noomi Rapace?” So while Daniel got a “win” out of it, it wasn’t really his film to carry, it was Rooney Mara’s, and she was and is rather underwhelming. So… a return to James Bond. And hopefully this one will be better than Quantum of Solace (it would be hard not to be better than QoS), and hopefully it will make a lot of money and maybe Daniel will sell his relationship a little bit to make Skyfall a big hit. We’ll see.
By the way, did anyone else hear the rumor about Benedict Cumberbatch and James Bond? This comes from the UK tabs/rags – allegedly, Cumby is under serious consideration to play a Bond villain in a future 007 movie. A source told Express UK: “Benedict is considered perfect Bond villain material. Work on the next film will begin next year and the plan is for Benedict to be on board. He grew up watching Bond, so it would be a childhood ambition fulfilled. Playing a Bond villain is one of the plum roles in film history and he’d jump at the chance.” You may think it’s too soon to be considering this stuff, but Daniel just signed a contract for two more Bond films after Skyfall, and they’re hoping to churn those two additional films out for 2014 and 2016 releases. Which means they’ll need a script next year, which means, etc. As for the idea of Cumby as a Bond villain… I don’t hate it. It feels a bit too “on the nose” though. Too predictable.

That was funny as hell! First you see two hot people and then a lizard is thrown into the mix.

I do love these two. Actually, I think I love any couple that aren’t famewhores. But this pairing is at the top of my list.
YES, Cumby as a Bond villain. It might be an obvious choice but it’s a good choice IMO.
Yeah, just a little note to MGM if anyone happens to be reading this … I’m very much available to be the evil honey trap Bond Girl who’s shagging the villain.

*AHEM*
The villain usually has two of these: one who will fall for Bond and eventually betray him (you), and one who will stay with him till the very (horrifying) end…dying with him (me).

…..
Alright. But betrayal means I get the best of both worlds. The ‘Batch and Craig ¬¬
And before you say it, I’m well aware of how great a philandering womaniser Bond is, so somewhere inbetween the point where I have my wicked way with him and before he turns me into the authorities, I shall have already escaped and moved onto … oh yes – OSCAR ISAAC.
And now, I must bid you adieu – I have evil plans to hatch that involve cats with opposable thumbs.

*Clarfying: you’ll be the one betraying the Cumby-villain, after you’ve been dickmatized by Bond. I’m the one who will stay with him (the villain). There’s always a honey trap who actually hates Bond.
I shall have already escaped and moved onto … oh yes – OSCAR ISAAC.
*GASPS*
HOW. DARE. YOU!

I’m actually going to write to the Oxford English Dictionary and appeal to have ‘dickmatized’ officially recognised as a word. Brilliant ^^
If anyone would care for an update on my evil plan, my cats with newly opposable thumbs are in the process of mapping out my Black Widowesque trek through the film industry. Starting with your dear Mr Isaac, moving onto Bushy Beard Hardy, then next onto the Hiddleston– … second thoughts, maybe not. I’m not prepared for the onslaught of death threats from his stans.
Hmm, screw Cumberbatch, I’m up for being the next villain!

Sounds like a good (evil) plan to me.
I shall assist you on everything (especially with handling the rabid Hiddlestoners).

I like her bag! Where can I get a bag like that? Anyone know what that type called so I know how to look for it?

What’s it like going through life that actively hot? There’s something otherworldly beautiful about these two. Like they look so realistic, but just amazing. Jon Hamm’s in that crowd, too.

*raises hand*

Yes, I agree…IT IS an obvious choice. As said once here on CB, Cumberbatch’s appearance SCREAM villain.
Well, the good thing (for him, and for us to gossip) is that this may become another kind of “typecasting” he can complain about, right?

I think he would make a great Bond villain!

He will. And his voice? Can you imagine those smart-assed digs at Bond in *THAT* voice?
I’m going to watch “The Hobbit” just so I can listen to him — he’ll be voicing two charaters, The Necromancer and Smaug, the dragon (although he did the motion capture for The Necromancer as well).

They are sexy. Is she wearing his shirt? I think so. They are really well matched.
I love the curmudgeon for public consumption. He’s absolutely smitten.

I’m not normally hot for Daniel Craig but I LOVE a guy in a scally cap. So sexy.
I grew up in the most Irish town in America where most of the guys wore scally caps in high school and they just hold a special place in my heart.

He is just, so, so, good. Hot with an edge of cruel about him. Would die to see that in bed.

Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they are not there. I’m just glad she doesn’t pimp her son like some other celebs.

Love Daniel and Rachel together. She looks really happy, so he must be doing something right
He is not a curmudgeon at all. I know that is Kaiser’s favorite word to describe him. He is actually supposed to be very funny in real life. He is just a naturally wary guy in public particularly when papped. We will see his funny side when he hosts SNL on Oct 6th. Stay tuned, you guys
I am hoping she will walk the red carpet with him for Skyfall premiere.

I’d like to see Benedict Cumberbatch in a comedy/western/musical/something different.
Or maybe a remake of “Chariots of Fire,” because then he could be joined by a whole cast of good-looking guys, showing off their running-enhanced physiques. Mmm, yep, someone in the film industry should put that together and let me be the casting director, even though I have no experience whatsoever…

I love them both as actors and as a couple! It sounds like people are digging her look but I think her clothes look like a rumpled, washed-out afterthought. But, in fairness, I’ve noticed that it’s very easy for her to look disheveled. He, on the other hand, seems very ‘styled” in these shots…
