See Daniel Craig as James Bond in a new video now, without waiting for Bond 23 in 2012! Recalling the denoument of Cyril Connolly's spoof "Bond Strikes Camp," Daniel Craig has dressed in drag to support women's equality for International Women's Day 2011 in the short promotional piece "Equals?," directed by Craig's friend Sam Taylor Wood. Of course there's nothing unusual about an actor using his clout to support a good cause. What's kind of unusual about this is that he's doing so in character, with Judi Dench playing M and addressing 007 in voiceover. Therefore it's not merely Craig, but Bond himself who returns in drag later in the scene! I've got to say, I think it's brilliant using James Bond to promote women's equality. I wouldn't be surprised if Barbara Broccoli had something to do with this piece as well, at least sweeping aside any copyright issues. It's a very cool video and I respect Craig for making it.

Thanks to Josh for the alert on this one!
