Daniel Craig says there may not be another James Bond film “any time soon” - because of the credit crunch.

The ‘Quantum of Solace’ actor claims the world’s current economic climate is taking its toll on movie producers, who may struggle to find the cash for the next instalment in the spy franchise.

He said: “As far as the next film is concerned, there is nothing scheduled. Economically the world is in quite a lot of trouble so who knows if we can afford to do another Bond movie any time soon?”

Despite his concerns, Craig would have no hesitation saving the world as 007 again.

He said: “I’m quite superstitious and I don’t take anything for granted. I’d love to do another one.”

Craig, 40, has revealed similar character traits between himself and his onscreen hero, saying he could also end someone’s life to protect his loved ones.

He added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “I would kill for my family, it’s as simple as that. And my friends are the most important thing to me.”

James Bond is to swap vodka Martinis for a new ‘Zero Zero Seven’ brand of Coca-Cola.

The drinks giant has teamed up with the makers of the latest Bond film ‘Quantum of Solace’ to launch the special version of their Coke Zero drink - named after the agent’s code number 007.

‘Quantum of Solace’, which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the British spy, is released on October 31 and Coca-Cola will simultaneously launch the new ‘Zero Zero Seven’ logo and limited edition black bottles in the £5 million deal.

The company hopes the marketing strategy will make Coke Zero - which is a sugar-free version of Coca-Cola - more appealing to men.

A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said: “It’s an honour to partner Coke Zero with such an iconic franchise as Bond.”

Bobby Britton, brand director of Coca-Cola Great Britain said: “The new edgier Bond persona is the ultimate embodiment of the Coke Zero brand personality and expected to make the brand more popular with its target audience of 20-something men.”

The limited edition ‘Zero Zero Seven’ Coke will sell for £1.50 at upmarket department store Harrods in London, as well as being available at other outlets across the UK.

Daniel Craig has been voted the world’s sexiest man.

The British actor topped the poll, conducted by condom maker Durex, after showing off his toned muscles in his first outing as James Bond in hit 007 adventure “Casino Royale”

The combination of Daniel’s piercing blue eyes and rippling physique as he emerges from the sea in tiny blue swimming trunks in the movie proved to be a major vote winner.
He beat off stiff competition from a host of Hollywood heartthrobs, including George Clooney and Johnny Depp, to win the coveted title.

A Durex spokesman said:Daniel Craig is an obvious choice. He has all the attributes that make a real icon.”

The survey - which polled 4,000 women - saw British men outnumbering US stars eight-to-two in the top ten. “Sin City”" actor Clive O. finished as runner-up, while “The holiday” star Jude Law came third.
George and Johnny flew the flag for America in fifth and sixth place.
Former James Bond Pierce Brosnan rounded off the top ten, just below “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor Orlando Bloom, singer Robbie Williams and soccer star David Beckham .
