Encouraging words from Craig for those who think the script isn't up to scratch...
The 46-year-old performer, who’s playing James Bond for the fourth time in the eagerly awaited new film, expects “SPECTRE” to be better than the 2012 hit ‘Skyfall’, which made more than $1.1 billion at the overall film industry.
Craig talking about the movie revealed ”We’ve got an amazing cast and, I think, a better script than we had last time.”
The title of the new Sam Mendes-regulated film identifies with the Special Executive for Counter-brainpower, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion (SPECTRE), which is headed by notorious malevolence virtuoso Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the scarred super-scalawag whose association had noticeable impact in the ‘Dr. No’ and “Thunderball” motion pictures.
In any case, Daniel has declined to affirm or deny bits of gossip that Christoph Waltz – who is playing a character called Oberhauser – will truly be playing Bond’s old foe Blofeld, saying individuals would need to ”wait and see”.
Craig added: ”We started something in ‘Skyfall’, it felt like a beginning of something. This feels like a continuation of that. We’re going to put all of those elements in, and much more.”
I did have a bit of a glance at the content but I must stress, as other people have said already, that this was from a very early stage of development, I did have a bit of an odd feeling at first too, but most if not all the notes on that email would've been corrected in future drafts. I'm confident that Mendes and the team can come up with something to rival Skyfall. Maybe Mendes, Broccoli and Wilson were all unsatisfied with Logans efforts as well, it makes a lot of sense since Logan left over creative differences, and Mendes is now selling his share of Penny Dreadful. Which was, ironically, dreadful. Maybe Logan was just a bit of a one hit wonder with Bond. His work on Skyfall was great enough, but apart from the base of the story none of his other ideas made it into the final draft, the script had a pretty heavy rewrite so every reservation one has about those notes that make Spectre seem a bit melodramatic and undercooked should really take into account that they probably will not appear in the final film. This is no Quantum of Solace. At least they entered production with a final script. They all seemed pretty happy about announcing Spectre. Did anyone else not see Barbara Broccoli positively bursting with excitement when Mendes was talking? They all seem pretty confident with the direction they're taking. I do want that gunbarrel back at the start though, seeing Craig swagger along that screen and opening the film would be pure magic. Fingers crossed this time.

Never mind that more recent comedy about the Democratic People's Republic's own version of "Number1" - DAD didn't exactly show the place in a favourable light!
