London, July 5 (IANS) Hollywood actor Daniel Craig is reportedly been considered to play Jack Regan in the movie remake of British television police drama “The Sweeney”.
The “James Bond” star has joined the likes of Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom and Tom Hardy in expressing “huge interest” for the adaptation of ITV’s classic 1970s show.
Actor Ray Winstone has already been cast as George Carter, the sidekick of Regan, who was originally played by actor John Thaw.
