Said like a moron. Dan fed the press nothing, Before commenting research the topic. Dan gave an interview to On Time in July, The article has only just been published. The press are quoting the article. Bearing in mind Dan while still filming after gruelling schedule in which he had knocked lumps out his body is asked about "will he do another one" he responds along the lines of "if you asked me now, I would smash that glass and cut my wrists" is in the context Spectre has been a lot of hard work and hes exhausted that he couldn't do one right away. It is being spun by the press by selective wording. Word of advise be educated, Be the shepherd not the sheep. Don't read tabloids look for the article their quoting from and read for yourself, you will see how twisted mainstream press are.
=D>
Oh wow, so this is the point where we start insulting each other?! Thats a pretty moroning thing from you but thats your decision.
I am tired of talking about that one interview, since i posted it two days ago, the same interview. Dont act all snowden on me just cause you found it today i have read it multiple times.In fact i have read almost EVERY craig interview since 2006 and i still see this guy is absolutely not comfortable with doing press. He does not understand the concept of promotion. He just doesnt. EON should keep him from any of this
Are you a female?
would you have a problem with that?
He can easily do another one because he didn't actually say what they're saying he said, they twisted his words. Add to that both DC and Babs are already on record saying he'll probably come back around again before these articles even published so that's easy. Honestly, look at what all the Bond producers have dealt with in the press since this franchise began. This is a just another bump that will be long forgotten in several months, especially if this Bond does big bucks.
More to the point, I seem to remember everybody making a big deal saying that Tom Cruise was done with Mission Impossible after Ghost Protocol and that Jeremy Renner may take over. Well, Cruise came back for Rogue Nation and lookie there, it did incredibly well despite the media blowing that out of proportion.
And as for the media having a field day "casting" a new Bond, they've been doing that since early summer thanks to Elba so again, nothing new.
In other words, none of this is new to anybody. They pull this crap with the release of every film; "So and so for Bond," "Craig uncertain of future with 007," yadda yadda yadda. It's yawn inducing and the fact so many here are predicting doom and gloom and dark times ahead is laughable at best. Absolutely nobody's careers are going to get hurt by this, especially Craig's, given he has ALWAYS been this way and he's still on top.
Don't turn this in to "poor me, the man called me a moron" but if you come on with uneducated drivel having a go at Craig's behaviour when it's clear you don't have grasp on the facts, then clearly your being a moron. You are being small minded that you are being led by what you have read in the tabloids, before drawing conclusions and attacking Craig's behaviour. Unless your the person who did the interview?? in which case please do tell us in which context was Craig's comments?? was he laughing at the time. Was it an off the record remark you decided to print anyway??.
The suggestion EON stop Craig giving interviews is the weirdest thing I have ever read. Sorry our leading man can't speak to the press to promote the movie. Pick a college mate I will fund your education.
I haven't got a clue how Robert Downey Jr handles his franchise fame (or his fame in general), nor do I know what he is like as a person, so I can't comment on that. But I have a pretty good idea about Bale, and a good idea how he handled/continues to handle his fame, and he has done it very well, and indeed better than Craig, whether we talk about interview stuff, or being available to fans (autographs and pics), or how to deal with paparazzi. Both private, down to earth, no bs types, and with no self-promotion or celebrity glitz interests, but Bale seems far more relaxed than Craig who seems somehow defensive - to me, anyway. But I also think Craig has been under far more scrutiny and criticism from the very beginning. Making the movies might be as long and as much hard work, but outside the actual filming the Bond actor gets the shittier deal, I assume. When asked how the roles changed their lives, the replies are similar only up to a point, and then they get very different indeed.
By all accounts and as far as I can tell Craig is a good guy. (No, not a bleepin saint like someone mocked earlier, just a normal good guy.) For everyone who encounters it fame and publicity is a learning process one way or another. Bale (despite being a few years younger) was getting scar tissue from it years before Craig started working. Bale said some years ago that he's learning (I'd say visibly yes), and at least judging from Craig's own comments he is as well (even though I realize many here won't believe that at all), but it may take time to become obvious. Or he may never accept that people even recognize him and all that, and he'll keep fighting it... :)
Anyway actors hardly lose reputation and become "a total joke" over something as harmless (IMO, anyway) as those comments from summer that people are now somehow shocked about. Not the best way to express himself, true, but also people get upset so easily over trivial things nowadays.
Nonsense , Bale is a disaster handling fame. Craig's never lost temper to a crew hand or been arrested for attacking his mother and sister just before the premiere of one of his biggest films.

I agree that if Spectre is a box office conquerer that this story will not be talked about for the time being. But later it will be picked up again, it's the biggest story Craig "made" so far. It is not only in one or two local newspaper.
It's global. Everywhere, yesterday and today.
Just simply web google or yahoo:
Daniel Craig
and look at the results, that is really depressing.
If you press the "news" button it's even worse.
It won't hurt his career nor hurt the franchise. But it will stay with him for the rest of his tenure as Bond.
When Craig is on Tv on Graham Norton or wherever it will kick start the real anticipation for the film.
Sense at last. And he won't swear once, because he changes to fit his audience.
This.
Can everyone else put a sock in it now?
A sock? In it? Where? 8-X
On it sounds better :))
In your collective gobs.
If some don't like it they can have a go at DC.
This is all press anyway so it's all good but he's unquestionably done some damage to his leading man status outside Bond for sure. EON may tolerate this but others likely won't.
I like the fact that he doesn't give a "f" & neither do I from now on.....just give us a good performance and I'll be happy.
You raise a very good point and it's something I've noticed for quite some time. This is the biggest and best Bond site there is and yet most of the amateurish hysteria and blind panic stems from here whereas everywhere else aren't too bothered or are phased with little to no effect. You'd think more people here would know better, this isn't our first rodeo at the Bond circus. We've seen it all before. It's actually become quite embarassing.
No it won't. You can't possibly know that. If Hollywood shunned every actor who made these sorts of comments, it would be a ghost town.
Robert Downey Jnr got in a huff over an interviewers comments and stormed off in a petulant rage - no effect at all. Forgotten now.
If Craig had done something like Mel Gibson and made comments that were offensive to the sensibilities of a race of people, then yes maybe there would be damage. But Craig didn't do that - he just questioned his future involvement with Bond films.
That would get me interested again.
And with respect, you can't know it wont either. We'll see. It's left a bad taste in my mouth personally but as I said just give us a good performance on the day and I'll be ok. He does seem to whine a lot and as others have said it's really not necessary.
Thank you!
I though of this:
Imagine The Rolling Stones just get finished doing a six-month tour. A reporter asks Mick: "Do you think you'll do another tour?"
Mick: "God, I'm not sure. At the moment, I'd rather slit my wrists than do one. I just can't foresee what another tour would be like, nor do I even care to dwell on it."
Hmmm. Put in that context, doesn't it make more sense?
This.
