Someone is interested in pushing the envelope that's for sure. I'm glad too. I could use someone who takes charge of the sitch and makes it his own.

Remember when all those people used to not like him? Or his new place of employment?

Insightful stuff like this makes it easy to forget.

And did you notice Craig's mention of doing another in two years? It sounds like we'll be waiting a while.

We may have to wait, but I think we'll be happy with the end result.

That was a good interview,I like alot of the things that Craig said,it's just a shame I feel the actual film didn't work at all!

I think they put out a great James Bond film in QOS...likely the best yet, making many of the other ones look childish and ridiculously comedic.

I'm a little surprised he couldn't remember the title of You Only Live Twice... B)

FWIW, I always get that title and "Never Say Never Again" confused in my mind. Dunno why. I do find some of the Bond titles hard to remember, just because they have a way of blending together, as Craig notes, under some sort of "die" theme. (I know, I know, that's not literally true; not every title has "die" in it. But still. . . .)

Quoting Daniel Craig:

'Have you seen that terrific series Mad Men? It’s great and I look at that guy (Jon Hamm) and he’s got such a great look.' He continues: 'If you doing the film of Sebastian Faulks’ Bond book (centenary novel Devil May Care) that look would be perfect. If you were doing a one off film I would say that’s the way you would go.'


B) :tdown: :tdown:

I've been saying a lot in other threads that I was totally mesmerized by the look of Jon Hamm in Mad Men: to me his character is (visually) the spitting image of the Fleming literary Bond. Good to see Dan agrees! :)

Your link doesnt work.

I know what you mean about Jon Hamm, but for me he perhaps looks a little slight of build - not someone who looks like he'd be that good in a fight.
