Bizarre-developed Bond opts for EastEnder over Daniel Craig

Activision's plan to annualize the
Bond franchise -- regardless of the status of a movie to tie into -- has already come unraveled, with the decision to
pull Mr. Bond out of
Modern Warfare 2's line of sight this holiday. So, Bizarre Creations' "
racing and driving focused" crack at
Bond is now due in 2010, unattached to the Daniel Craig-powered, as-yet-untitled 2011
Bond movie. This poses an obvious question: With no theatrical attachment, will
confessed gamer Daniel Craig reprise the interactive Bond role or will Bizarre's seemingly unique take on the license also have a unique actor in the role of 007?
According to Adam Croasdell, the
EastEnders star (it's a long-running BBC soap opera, for the non-British amongst us) has wrapped up voice work on the game. "Oddly enough I have just played James Bond in the new
James Bond video game -- how weird is that?" Croasdell told BBC Asian Network, as reported by the
Press Association. "I think video games and the making of that type of technology, being in a funny one-piece suit and being shot with 60 cameras, I think that's sort of the future."
We're right there with you, Croasdell! Oh, and you better get used to that one-piece suit ... Activision has plans to milk that
Bond license before it expires in 2014.
