The powers behind the Bond franchise are making so many bad decisions, one would think they are doing it on purpose. First they cast Daniel Craig as Bond, next we find out he dislikes martinis (both shaken and stirred), and then we hear that he appears “ripped” in the movie (Bond with muscles??). To add insult to injury, this newest Bond will be ditching his trademark tuxedo for only casual wear. What?! And as if that weren’t enough, the traditional sports car will be traded in for a more conventional family vehicle, the Ford Mondeo.

Filmmakers have decided to ditch Bond’s Aston Martin for a Ford Mondeo - but insist it will still be packed with gadgets.

According to reports, manufacturers paid nearly £14 million to get their car on screen.

An insider revealed: “It’s a huge deal, worth far more than the £2 million Daniel Craig is getting to play the spy.

“Moviegoers will see Bond using the car for chases and picking up girls.”

The movie’s only saving grace appears to be Eva Green, the latest (but late cast) Bond girl … and as a Bond girl she surely looks the part, but can she she act?
