[QUOTE]The 46-year-old actor, famous for his role as Bond, James Bond, apparently begged director JJ Abrams for a part in the upcoming sure-to-be-a-massive-hit sci-fi flick, And JJ Abrams was only too happy to act as Craig’s fairy godfather, granting him the wish. According to reports, Craig has already filmed his mystery role, which involved him heading to Pinewood Studios in secret for two days last week. Fans might not even guess which part Craig is playing as his face won’t even be on screen, according to source.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/star-wars-7-daniel-craig-4258795[/url] [IMG]http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article3270643.ece/alternates/s615/Daniel-Craig.jpg[/IMG]
It says his face won't appear onscreen. Boba Fett anyone? Edit: Or Boba Fett's son.
Huh. Maybe some new masked villain I assume. Given the right makeup and costume I can see him playing a Jerec but doubtful episode 7 wI'll have anything to do with the katatn arc [editline]14th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Tehcmc;45978245]It says his face won't appear onscreen.

[QUOTE=Medevila;45978250]couldn't they have saved a lot of money and paid some poor acting grad[/QUOTE] Depends what he's doing. They could've saved money by not having a big star like Vin Diesel play Groot in GotG, but it really paid off in the end.
[QUOTE=redBadger;45978252] Didn't the guy who did Dredd get cast for boba[/QUOTE] I think that's just rumor for now.
[QUOTE=Medevila;45978250]couldn't they have saved a lot of money and paid some poor acting grad[/QUOTE] Well he was doing a kindness to Craig, so that would kind of defeat the purpose.
Probably gonna be a cgi alien or robot.
Not to mention, if he's there as a character that's going to have a larger role later, with face time and everything, they keep continuity by having him in early.
That's like if they casted Sean Connery in Episode IV, he would've looked like this [img]http://www.danvelazquez.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/zardoz.jpg[/img]
Daniel Craig is 46? Jesus Christ, he looks good.

(probably to some amount though)
I didn't see [I]Guardians[/I] because Vin Diesel's voice was in it. I don't feel star power applies to voice acting.
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;45979001]I didn't see [I]Guardians[/I] because Vin Diesel's voice was in it. I don't feel star power applies to voice acting.[/QUOTE] This would apply for any actor except for Vin Diesel. Dat voice man
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;45979001]I didn't see [I]Guardians[/I] because Vin Diesel's voice was in it. I don't feel star power applies to voice acting.[/QUOTE] For me it depends on who's doing the voice.
[QUOTE=gary spivey;45978442]-raw 70's sex appeal-[/QUOTE]No lie, I watched that entire movie as it was meant to be watched: completely and helplessly high off my ass. zardoz changed my fucken life man

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;45979504]I guess you hate the Iron Giant too?[/QUOTE] no he wasn't saying "I didn't go to the movie" he was saying "that isn't the reason I went to the movie"
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;45978745]Daniel Craig is 46? Jesus Christ, he looks good.[/QUOTE] i'm pretty sure that pic is way way old, from when casino royale came out if i'm not mistaken [editline]14th September 2014[/editline] quantum of solace i think (2008)
To chalk it all up: Mark Hamill Harrison Ford Carrie Fisher Peter Mayhew Anthony Daniels Kenny Baker Lupita N'yongo Adam Driver Oscar Issac Domnhall Gleeson Max von Sydow Gwendoline Christie John Boyega Daisy Ridley And now Daniel Craig? Damn.

Hopefully his chest appears on screen.

I can imagine him being an imperial officer or something, but I haven't really a clue what's going on in this timeline, if there's remnants of the empire or whatever. Maybe ex-imperial officer.
I really hope in the future films he can get more of an appearance or at least something reoccurring.
[QUOTE=Medevila;45978250]couldn't they have saved a lot of money and paid some poor acting grad[/QUOTE] cameos like this are usually done gratis
[QUOTE=SexualShark;45980026]he is gonna be a stormtrooper[/QUOTE] But Skyfall taught me he can actually aim a weapon
I am thinking imperial officer. He has that whole Aryan race look going on.
