Hey there, I came across this interesting interview with Craig that I hadn't heard before. He gives some really good insight on his portrayal as Bond and where he wants to go with it. Note how he describes Bond in QOS, hopefully it should eliminate the myth that Bond is a 'rogue agent' in that film.

It got me rather excited in light of the new announcement :)

His views on the humor are really terrific. Great interview, thank you so much for posting.

At the end there he sounds as though he has an idea of what he wants to try for the next one. It's incredibly vague but he gives one the impression that now, with the story arc being complete, the sky is the limit and he intends on going there. Exciting stuff.

Interesting interview. Daniel humble as always. Though I still think that QoS was a poor and not well developed film.

Completely agreed. I too feel Quantum of Solace was very underdeveloped, but I kinda think that Craig has justified the reasons for it being very action orientated. I feel that I can appreciate it just a little bit more.

Always comes across as sympathetic, thoughtful and modest, with a good sense of humor.

I completely disagree. I found nothing wrong with the story for QUANTUM OF SOLACE. I certainly did not find it underdeveloped. And it was the right kind of story needed as a follow up to CASINO ROYALE. My only major grip with the movie is that the pacing was ridiculously fast in its first hour.

Scrotum of Bollax was missplaced in so many ways. Bond in this one was in Pantomime or some distant planet.

We've read some CBn's views that a certain actors performance was "phoned in", but in this it's confirmed by his awkard usuage of the gadget.

Craig is a good actor. Why not give him good material to work with, rather than trying to make him out as some sort of modern geek who would be more suitable working as a club doorman.

Okay. Keep the '24' or 'Bourne' stuff if you have to EON, but at least come up with something original instead of having to re-boot or copying what's gone on in the past.

My soap box is supplyed by 'Sod the Stench'. :D
