New role for 007
James Bond star Daniel Craig has been signed up to play a washed-up British Hollywood actor.
The 39-year-old Craig, who won rave reviews for his role as 007 in Casino Royale, has been cast in Flashbacks of a Fool alongside other British actors Helen McCrory, Olivia Williams and Emilia Fox.
Craig, who has become one of the most sort after actors in Hollywood, is to play a star in his 40s whose allure is starting to fade.
He comes back to Britain for a funeral following the death of his best friend from his childhood.
The experience sparks flashbacks of his younger years and of a tragedy which forced him to look for a new life in the US.
It is believed filming begins on the movie, directed by Baillie Walsh, later this month in South Africa and London.
