  A buddy has already bought our tickets.
  
  Anyone else going in the NY area?

  
  That's in my hood! Have fun. I should go.... but not sure my plans that date yet.

  I just might have to head to L.A. for this. He will be there for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo screening. That's an excellent choice of film to do that.

  That is a cool choice of film, it’s one of my favourites of his, he’s so right for it.

  Daniel Craig, quite justifiably, visibly hating this sort of rubbish.
  
  
  
  But also looking pretty fantastic, is he not?

  Not sure he was really playing along with that one, but it was a funny segment. And yes, he looks quite good for his age.

  And afterward (or maybe before) they did a photoshoot.

  That's very nice. I actually think that could have taken a little more image editing.
  
  I've always quite liked the idea of a Bond poster which looks like that. Just a really nice bit of lush fashion photography.

  Absolutely love Daniel Craig . Best Bone ever for me but the subject matter in his latest doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest. I’m sure he’s brilliant but I will pass.

  I wonder if Drew Starkey agrees.

  Talk about a Freudian slip! My bad. Oh the irony concerning the point I was trying to make!

  I had no idea this was on tonight. I’m in LA at the moment and saw DC in a restaurant last night - I assumed he was partying, not promoting the movie. Ugh!

  Oh that's fun! Not a bad night out if you run into James Bond :D

  I didn’t approach him but he walked past me several times. He appeared to be in really good form - smiling and extremely relaxed. He was with Martin McDonagh and a few others. My wife is convinced he made eye contact with her at one stage, or at least that’s what she’s going to tell people for the next 20 years!

  I saw DC in 2013 at the stage door, leaving the theater, when he was doing Betrayal off Broadway. He looked worn out. He'd gone from TGWTDT to SF including several months of press work for both films, right into Betrayal, doing a show a night. And yet...he still exuded coolness and charisma that can't be described. He just has a presence about him.

  A journo whose podcast I listened to mentioned that she interviewed him a few years back, and she said she couldn’t look at him because he was just too good-looking! :))

  Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig are re-teaming for their first superhero work, Sgt. Rock, for DC Studios:

  I'd believe it when I see it, but it would be quite funny considering there was a massive Bond fan on another forum about twenty years ago who is also a screenwriter and was working on a Sgt. Rock script for ages (it's been in development hell forever), so for 007 to play him would be an interesting situation for him!

  Could DC return to SW? Or Rachel Weisz make an appearance in one?

  Was wondering the same thing. Surely, a re-team with Rian Johnson wouldn't be out of the question if his trilogy ever becomes a reality.
