What I want to know is will he be quized about leaving these two films around Bond 24 promotion time?
Yes, it was script problems - not ready.
Sam - I assume, the interviewer will be briefed to probabloy not ask these sorta irrelevant questions.
No, I believe, it was because he wanted to do Betrayal more and not work back to back.
This is copied from David Zaritskys Facebook page "The Bond Experience".
It's not much information but it is something:
"Hello gang,
Wanted to share some news. At Tom Ford yesterday, it was shared with us that Craig was refitted at Tom Ford only 4 days ago in the NYC store. In addition to being fitted for clothing there was a discussion of what he might be wearing from a casual standpoint. I was able to see blue chukka boots, a very strange purplish/royal blue jacket, and a VERY cool black bomber. No suits were discussed but most of his clothes will be from the 2015 lines and thus nothing discussed is available publicly yet....watch this space though for more news to come as it breaks and of course right now none of these things might be in the film...but it's a first glimmer......here are some fun pics of our visit (3 hours, 3 bottles of champagne, and too much money later)...also, my wife and I attended a Washington DC event this past Saturday and I was able to wear a certain SkyFall tuxedo...just fun stuff...."
Cool, that is interesting to know? If true and used? Would this give us clues to locations for the film? :-?

I'd just like to leave this here for anyone who doesn't think Craig is one of the most brilliant actors working today.
@Germanlady, are you able to post that recent twitter pic of Craig you mentioned?
Bond has shifted his career in a direction that has probably seen him back away from the more interesting work, here's hoping he pushes himself more when he ends his tenure and gives more interesting work. Outside of TGWTDT I can't say anything he's done after becoming Bond has given him much chance to flex his acting muscles much.
His choices have not been great and could do with getting the same agent as Michael Fassbender, now there is an actor who has managed to have his cake and eat it.
The problem is Bond, it really limits an actors career and restricts him of what he can do when in the role.
In fact, he isn't slated to do anything aside from B24 and B25, in terms of filmography. The only other possibility is the rumored TGWPWF.
Did he now? Well that's a real shame. His style is so unique to the films, I don't know if I'll like what would be done with TGWPWF if another director takes over, unless his style is mimicked in a way, much like they did with 'House of Cards.'
In a way I would prefer if Fincher countinued to pursue new projects instead of doing sequels. I mean his upcoming "Gone Girl" looks ridiculously good. Sure, TGWTDT were a good film, but it can stand on it's own legs without a sequel IMO.
But I loved it...I...I need a sequel with all three returning. :-(
Haha, I figured that would've really stood out to you! Given your knowledge of it all, was the locale and whatnot displayed pretty well? I've never really checked into where it actually filmed.

Not always the case. I think Brosnan used the fact he was Bond to do more interesting work elsewhere. Certainly, his non-Bond work from that period is much better than any of the performances he delivered for EON.
I am slightly perplexed to be honest as to exactly why DC has not been doing more and better films in between Bond. Instead he's opted to trash like Cowboys and Aliens. I think his problem has actually been that he's chosen to go for similar big budget leading man roles, when (if you ask me) his real strengths are as a character actor in an ensemle piece. I would love to see him using Bond to get his own film productions off the ground, just as Pierce did.
It was displayed very well, some of the locations are not that far from my city so that was quite an experience to see!
- He produced Flashbacks of a Fool
- He loved the books of the Goldem Compass triologie, so he did the film
- Defiance must have looked great on paper, had an interesting plot and a very good director, who could do that sort of thing ( Last Samurai is one of my favc.films)
- TinTin was interesting as it was motion capture and had Steven Spielberg and Co
- Dream House again most likely looked very interesting on paper and had a very good director (JS of My left Food) That they would screw it up during and after shooting, who could know?
- Now C&A had more or less the Who is Who of Hollywood involved. Who would know, they would come up with such a lousy script? They ALL must have been blind to its weaknesses.
- Tatoo - had all the ingrediences to be a great, great film and it was. IMO this role was made for him or visa versa, much more then Bond, because its closer to him. IMO it was the wrong timing to bring it out. Not that it did terrible, but they wanted 300 Mill, when it did 230 mill.
So - if you look it all up, there is a real diversity here and all interesting projects. Even I have to sayd it all worked out, he would have like 4 francises on his hands, so the chances were, that apart from Tattoo, there is someting missing even in the better ones like Defiance. But I believe, not his fault or a way of knowing beforehand. Just a bit of bad luck. Ha there more then for any of the others. For him personally, its probably better, he didn't become the Robert Downey Jr. of movies, but as a fan, it saddens me. He deserves better and hopefully all the next projects will work out better. Once his leading man days are over, he can and will do supporting roles and stuff like Tom Hanks and others do, who cannot be the Lady killer anymore IMO plus theater.
