Daniel Craig to continue as Bond

Image
After winning rave reviews for Casino Royale, Actor Daniel Craig has signed a $60m (€41m) deal to star in the next four 'James Bond' films. The blond 39-year-old is currently filming Bond 22 - his second outing as secret agent 007 following the success of 2006's 'Casino Royale' - and movie executives have reportedly signed him up for another three films, tying him to the franchise for the next 10 years. A source says: "To date Daniel has been quite cautious over saying how many films he'd be starring in. "It was presumed he'd probably do a couple more but the word is the new deal ensures he'll do at least another four across the next decade." Craig's predecessor, Pierce Brosnan , starred in four Bond movies - but the longest-serving 007 star remains to be Roger Moore, who played the iconic role in seven films between 1973 and 1985.

Top 10 Movie One-Liners

They are a part of our daily dialogue. The perfect line for the perfect situation. Rarely does the brain and the mouth collide with such poetic harmony. These days we use words like "cool" or "awesome" when we could be saying things like " frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. " But really, who would say something that retarded. #10 " Bond...James Bond " - You can pretty much say any name this way and it sounds cool. Especially if you're Sean Connery. #9 You Can't Handle The Truth - As we look back, it's really quite ironic that this line was delivered to Tom Cruise. #8 " Are You Talkin' To Me? " - A useful line for so many social situations. Especially when you're being propositioned by a homeless person for some spare change. #7 " Say Hello To My Little Friend " - The perfect line for any man to use in any sexual situation. #6 "Go Ahead...Make My Day" - The king of all bad ass movie l...

Shah Rukh Khan's bunch of young and fiesty women hockey players are ready to hit the screens on Friday when Chak De India releases all over. The film revolves around the story of an Indian women's hockey team , that goes on to win a World Cup. Real life women hockey players are now hoping that it gives their sport a big boost. There were initial reports that Vidya Stokes, the President of the Indian Women's Hockey Federation was unhappy with the on-screen portrayal of the players. But it now seems that it was a clear case of misunderstanding. "She was asked if women's hockey is zero, and if they're being shown as hero, so she obviously reacted to it. Everyone knows the results, and my girls are doing very well, that's a fact. So neither are we unhappy, nor have we asked for a separate screening. We have no hassles with Yashraj at all," said Amrit Bose, Secretary, IWHF. The much-awaited blockbuster is the tale of a former Indian hockey goalkeeper, pla...

A source close to Aamir says that since the script demands that in the second half of the film, Aamir's character should sport a bald look to avenge his girlfriend's murder by the villain, the actor decided to do it. "Aamir has seen the original Tamil film and was so impressed by it that he wanted to produce its remake, apart from acting in it. The shooting of the film is currently on in Mumbai and Aamir is planning to go for the bald look in a month from now when they start shooting the film in Chennai," adds the source.

Actress Nisha Kothari has been chosen to play the role of Basanti in Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay . The actress is excited about it and has no qualms that she will be compared to Hema Malini. “There are bound to be comparisons, but my role is completely different from that of Basanti in the original Sholay. I am playing the role of Ghungroo in Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay and I will be riding an autorickshaw named Laila. Ghungroo is bold and has loads of attitude. I have a lot of respect for Hemaji and I am glad that I have got an opportunity to perform her role. I would request my audience to give me an opportunity to showcase my talent,” Nisha says. She elaborates about her autorick shaw and says, “Laila is very colourful and whatever money that Ghungroo earns is spent on the interiors of the rickshaw. Laila is decorated with disco lights, perfumes, a music system and picture of goddess Durga.” This is the first time that Nisha will be acting with stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Dev...
