Last year, the estate of James Bond author Ian Fleming announced that William Boyd, who wrote the screenplay for Robert Downey Jr's "Chaplin," has been hired to write the next James Bond novel, which is called "Solo" and will hit Us stores on October 8th. While promoting the book, Boyd spoke about actors who should play James Bond in future movies, naming Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) as his favorite. He said: "If there was to be an actor to play my James Bond, I'd choose another actor who has also been in a film of mine and who I also know and who is also called Daniel -- Daniel Day-Lewis -- because I think Daniel Day-Lewis actually resembles the Bond that [Ian] Fleming describes." Boyd wrote the screenplay for "Stars and Bars," a 1988 comedy that started Day-Lewis. But Boyd also worked with such Bond actors as Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and Craig.
