SakshiThe Rumor Was True
The rumor was in the air during the release of Spectre that Daniel Craig had helped write the script of the movie. The rumor was to some extent true as he did help his friend Sam Mendes. He while interacting with Time Out New York “The writer John Logan came in and gave us the bones of something and then two writers came in and we worked with them and Sam,” Craig added “The way it works is that I’d wake up in the middle of the night with an idea and write it down and send it to Sam and he ignores me or doesn’t ignore me, or talks to me the following morning and we develop it from there. So I’m not physically writing things down.”
Why Looks, Looks, And Looks Only!
Daniel Craig never liked the over-assertion on the good looks of Bond. He called it a “drag.” “The best acting is when you’re not concerned about the surface. And Bond is the opposite of that,” he said to Time Out New York. “You have to be bothered about how you’re looking. It’s a struggle. I know that how Bond wears a suit and walks into a room is important. But as an actor, I don’t want to give a [expletive] about what I look like!”
Misogynistic Bond?
According to Daniel Craig, the other problem in the character of James Bond is that he is misogynistic. In this regard, he once optimistically stated “Hopefully my Bond is not as sexist and misogynistic as [earlier incarnations]. The world has changed,” he said. “I am certainly not that person. But he is, and so what does that mean? It means you cast great actresses and make the parts as good as you can for the women in the movies.”
The Most Straight Forward Bond!
Daniel Craig has been very frank about his work. He never hesitates from criticising his own work when he is not satisfied it. For instance, he openly admitted that he did not give his best in the movie Quantum of Solace and that is the reason the movie could not do much on the box. He even tried to rewrite the scene but it also did not help. He said “There was me trying to rewrite scenes – and a writer I am not,” he said. “Me and the director [Marc Forster] were the ones allowed to do it. The rules were that you couldn’t employ anyone as a writer, but the actor and director could work on scenes together. We were stuffed. We got away with it, but only just.”
Queen With The 007
Daniel Craig became the first Bond to be honored at 2012 Olympics in London. Mark Sutton an English stuntman impersonated 007 with another British stuntman and appeared on the Olympic stadium during the opening ceremony. The queen filmed a four-and-a-half minute segment with Daniel at Buckingham Palace. It was the first time Queen had appeared on-screen.
