Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz get 'hot and heavy' on Valentine's Day

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have reportedly been spotted cuddling and kissing each other on Valentine's Day.

After very quietly going public with their romance in the English countryside over Christmas, the sexy British stars ramped up their PDA on Monday in NYC, hitting the anniversary party for hotspot ‘The Box’, reports Usmagazine.com.

The duo shared a table with Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness as well as actor Alan Cumming.

Sipping champagne, Craig and Weisz were “making out and dancing all night,” says a witness.

“They were adorable,” adds the observer.

Once the band ‘Scissor Sisters’ began playing, the couple - onscreen lovers in the upcoming film Dream House - left their table and “started dancing...and they were kissing!”

Move Over Daniel Craig! Ralph Fiennes Is The New ‘James Bond’

Move Over Daniel Craig! 

Ralph Fiennes Is The New ‘James Bond’

What? I LOVED Daniel Craig as James Bond! He was ah-mazing!!! What’s going on here?

‘The Daily Mail‘ is reporting that Ralph Fiennes is being lined up to play James Bond as Daniel Craig’s replacement in what’s being described as ‘a darkly complex’ role. Director Sam Mendes is privately in talks with the actor for ‘James Bond 23‘ – a working title.

It’s the first of a new generation of Bond films, and the ideas Mendes has push the film into darker territory where the characters are modern, mature and challenging,’

Well, I have to admit Ralph certainly knows how to get into character. The way he plays Lord Voldemort in ‘Harry Potter‘ is memorable to say the LEAST.

Are you excited about the switch?

Sean Connery says no to James Bond's 50th anniversary

"James Bond" movie bosses were left disappointed after veteran actor Sean Connery declined an invitation to the 50th anniversary celebrations of the superspy series next year.

The Scottish star was the first ever actor to portray the suave British secret agent '007' in 1962 film "Dr No", and went on to play James Bond seven times.

The series is set to return to the big screen with Daniel Craig playing 007 agent for the third time. The release of the new film will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the franchise.

The bosses at MGM studio are planning to mark the milestone with a special event in which all former Bonds talk about their dealings with the character, aceshowbiz.com reports.

Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, George Lazenby and Roger Moore are all in talks to be part of the celebrations, but Connery has snubbed the organisers.

"Not having Sean would be a sad thing for these celebrations. We hope he will change his mind," a source said.

James Bond film back on track?

Daniel Craig could return as James Bond in the upcoming installment of the franchise, following reports that the latest 007 film is back on track.

Sam Mendes has pulled out of negotiations to direct futuristic thriller The Hunger Games because MGM are ready to move forward with production on Bond 23.

According to Deadline Hollywood, the shooting for the movie could begin by late summer or early autumn 2011. Earlier, the Bond flick was put on indefinite hold, with EON Productions blaming the financial difficulties of MGM studios, which is reported to have a 3.7 billion-dollar debt, reports the Mirror.

MGM announced this week that its lenders have agreed to extend the company's debt repayment period further.

The studio, which also has a stake in the forthcoming Hobbit movie, is going through a pre-packaged bankruptcy before Spyglass takes over.

Daniel Craig lands 'Dragon Tattoo' role

Daniel Craig has reportedly closed a deal to star in the US version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Craig will begin filming the movie in Sweden after he wraps work on Cowboys and Aliens.

Director David Fincher and producer Scott Rudin are reportedly still in the process of casting the role of Lisbeth Salander. Actresses including Ellen Page, Mia Wasikowska, Emily Browning, Sara Snook, Rooney Mara and Sophie Lowe are in the running for the part.
