In an interesting piece of casting, reports have it that Daniel Craig is set to play the Devil, and alongside Ewan McGregor no less!

From The Hollywood News through Moviesonline.ca comes the exciting piece of casting:

...from a reliable source on the set of the new Bond movie, CASINO ROYALE...Daniel Craig has been talking about his first project after wrapping as Bond, and it appears he'll be playing the devil, Lucifer in the adaptation of Glenn Duncan's fantastic novel I, LUCIFER.

Our source also states that Craig says his costar (playing Declan Gunn - a failed British author whose body Lucifer takes up temporary residence) is.... wait for it ...Ewan McGregor.The book has been adapted by David Logan (CIRCUS), and Dan Harris and Mike Dougherty, who wrote SUPERMAN RETURNS and X-MEN 2. Harris will direct the film, which we understand will be largely shot in the UK.

Craig and McGregor, England and Scotland...oh, that would be a nice team to see on screen, and to have it shot in the UK too? Superb. I could see this pairing working really well together, they've both pulled out some strong roles and can command some strong screen presence. What do you think? A good pairing? What about Craig as the Devil too, a perfect bit of contrasting casting after the Bond role.
