Daniel Craig needs love

. A group of James Bond fans have launched a Web site, http://www.craignotbond.com, to protest British actor Daniel Craig replacing Pierce Brosnan in the 007 film franchise, and boycott the upcoming Bond movie "Casino Royale," reports nwsource.

EON Productions angered fans around the world when they fired Pierce Brosnan at the height of his popularity as Bond," said a statement on the site. "To add insult to injury, EON cast a short, blond, odd-looking Daniel Craig in the role of Bond."

"Craig, described by The New York Times as having a 'pale, flattened face and large, fleshy ears' is a terrible choice for Bond. If EON Productions and Sony Pictures will not accept they've made a big mistake, then Bond fans promise to boycott Casino Royale!"

Meanwhile, Sky news Uk is reporting that Daniel Craig had two teeth knocked out during a round of pretend fisticuffs while filming Casino Royale.

According to the Sunday Mirror, it was an actor playing the villain's henchman who did the damage.

An on-set insider said: "Daniel was filming with some minor actors when he got hit in the face.

He was reeling from a heavy blow and staggered back holding his face.

"He put his hand to his mouth but the blood started to seep through his fingers - it was horrible."

Former Bond villain Lee said Craig, had already been "condemned" by the media.

"People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film," said Lee.

Lee, who was Scaramanga in 1973's The Man with the Golden Gun, added that Pierce Brosnan had been "the closest" to Bond author Ian Fleming's creation.

Speaking at the Bangkok International Film Festival, Lee defended Craig against media claims he is unsuitable for the lead role as the suave secret agent.

"There's been a lot of nonsense written about him being James Blonde," Lee said.
