His honesty, his frankness, he was different type of actor to play Bond but I think his legacy will only go to enrich the series, his portrayal won't be forgotten come the next guy.
I get the vibe like everyone had when they were promoting Skyfall, really proud and just wanted to show it to the world, the difference being that the big moments had already been spoiled by the press.
They are definitely playing damage limitation here what with M's death being leaked and the whole kit and caboodle of SPECTRE out there before the film is even released.
If we have to pay the price of not knowing more about the production is walking into the cinema and seeing something that hasn't been spoiled, the frustration that some feel due to not knowing what they'd like to, will all be worthwhile.
NTTD has the potential to be the one film of this era that is a real surprise for the viewer. The idea of walking into the cinema with some idea about it but still have plenty to unpack is frankly a delicious prospect.
As for Knives Out, I'm chomping at the bit to see this, a number of reasons, first I was bought up on whodunnits, Rian Johnson also seems to have reinvented a genre that many would have thought had been played out.
Johnson and Craig are possibly unleashing a new style of this type of story on the world and running with it. The idea of DC reprising Benoit Blanc is much more exciting than Kenneth Branagh remaking classic Christie Poirot stories that already have more than adequate versions and in the case of Orient Express and outright jewel in the crown of this genre.
Also hearing him say that he is still excited by acting and is striving to be better is also exciting. He already seems to have reminded people he is an actor of some wide range despite his naysayers claiming he is one note.
It does feel like he is done and that this is a definitive full stop for him though from his tone though.
So that he can finally realise his Bondmovie? :-?
Craig has always been a no nonsense - straight shooter, which makes him a great actor but not always the best Promoter of films.
Loved the quote about him not carring whether he's liked. He let's his work speak for itself and you can see his commitment on screen.
And I liked that he called out the Interviewer on trying to start some crap. We need more of that kind of celebrity in the future.
Michaels and Daniels comments on NTTD helped me get more excited for the film. I think they will go all out on the marketing in 2020. This will be something different.
Well they wouldn’t actually be there, just he would see them . 😏
I've seen "Knives Out" at the London Film Festival last month, and I believe people will be suprised in a very positive way by that movie. Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc is like seeing Johnny Depp for the first time as Captain Jack Sparrow in 2003.
I believe this is a perfect role for Craig to play in more movies directed by Johnson. Maybe he will make it to five as he did with Bond.
I get it. :P
Terrific job! Thanks for posting.
As for what I have bolded: most people, who read that entire interview in 2015, knew exactly what he was getting at. It is really too bad (but not surprising) that he had to keep explaining himself for years.
That would be awesome
Agreed.
Thanks for posting guys. I really appreciated not having to get a copy or something today. The interview was definitely, I guess, more Craig-centric than Bond-centric. But I quite like that. I like that he doesn't mince his words. Even when I (briefly) met him a few years ago he struck me as very old school and he's a very strange blend of introverted-yet-not-shy-yet-confident.
He's definitely not best to promote the movies but he just says what he thinks at the time and he's not exactly Mr. PR soundbites. It's refreshing.
It's one of the reasons he fears interviews. LOL.
I loved the 2012 Rolling Stone interview in which he admitted to seeing a therapist and dealing with his demons.
Then there's people like Jennifer Lawrence who are just so incredibly annoying…
Oh, I guess X-Men, but she doesn’t really act in those.
Wasn't Red Sparrow post-Weinstein? Anyway, I just find her insufferable. If she's on a chat show or something, I just turn off.
You're kidding me. He also plays polo. This guy is incredible/absurd at the same time. In quite a cool way.
Is this from NTTD? Looks like a working class hero.
Yes. it's from a unknown set. First published this past week in Empire magazine, two pages article.
I was just going to point that out!
I noticed that as well. Seemed like a pointed way of stating hold off on believing the rumours.
I seem to remember them teasing locations via social media prior to the announcement.
Just a rumour? Or do they have a reliable source?
