007 fans are on the edge of their seats. Tomorrow, the next James Bond will be revealed, ending months of speculation. Sony Pictures said on Thursday that the new actor to take the role of Mr. Bond will announced in a London press conference on Friday. The actor will replace Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in the last four films. The frontrunner for the role is Daniel Craig, a relatively unknown actor in the US, but a big star in Britain. Craig, best known stateside for his part opposite Paul Newman and Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition has recently been the subject of gossip. The actor has been tied to the break-up of Jude Law and Sienna Miller, his co-star in Layer Cake. Gossips claim Jude broke things off permanently with Miller after learning she had been fooling around with Craig. His growing notoriety as a result of the affair could contribute to his likelihood to become the next Bond. Actors also rumored to be competing for the part include Orlando Bloom, Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana.
