If it is slander or dishonest reporting, perhaps DC/film-makers should say so. Seeing as though it is causing such a negative fuss.
Glad to be of service, Commander.
It sure is that, but what can they say or do? Trying to back him up will only be seen as "OH, they don't want themovie to bomb"
Guess all they can do is sit it out and hope for the best. Like i said, poking some fun on it during a show might be good.
You take all this news too serious and you completely lost context and perspective. May I remind you how well Mr Craig gets along with both cast and crew? Perhaps....this quote from Empire Magazine, between Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig, put things in a different perspective for you. It actually shows that Empire Magazine is doing a better job at showing the sheer fun and humour both Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes have on set than other 'cheaper' entertainment tabloids. Basically, if some gossip article would be able to print some smileys, then all the 'bad words' from Craig's mouth would have been interpreted differently. Please read:
It's all a matter of interpretation @fanbond. And I'm afraid you completely misinterpreted Mr Craig. It's sad really.
At the risk of seeming like a bunch of old fuddy duddys we try to stick to this policy as our membership is very broad, and we attract more and more members because we are a family friendly board.
And please make no bones about it, we expect long standing members to abide by these rules as much as new members.
Thanks
Can I honestly say something? Back in my country, Netherlands, we don't censor the F-word. I simply find it pivotal for the improvement of free speech in this society. And actually, sometimes the F-word should not censored away at all. Because sometimes this word doesn't stand on its own and needs to be seen through the entire meaning/context of a sentence...or even an entire story.
Moreover, if Empire Magazine is, rightfully, liberal enough not to censor it away, and if even Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig are just using the words with heavy sarcasm and irony, then I don't see the point of censoring such a word.
If you disagree, then I understand it also. Because from a cultural point of view I know that the British are way more fierce in censoring than the Dutch. But I DO want to make a point here though. Please shed some light on the freedom of speech as well. I don't want to become the next 'China'.
You actually haven't read my previous two posts AT ALL.
Er, they can say, hold on he did not say that.
For those soiling their knickers, like yourself, even the DM (The biggest rag on earth) is running a story saying people are taking his comments out of context. Sort yourselves out, guys.

Hi, yes I understand what you are saying. You know what us stiff assed Brits are like?
But at the end of the day, it's a UK site and we try to keep it civil and free of profanities wherever we can because we think it leads to a more friendly and civil forum.
I've seen Bond sites where anything goes, and usually the first thing to go is the female members. We have a strong female membership for a Bond forum and we are proud of that. So, for now we will carry on as we were. :)
Why give them the time of day, and give them the further publicity of responding when the correct course is to refuse them any further interviews. If Daniel had to release a statement every time something written about what he is alleged to have said or done, well he would not get much acting done. Don't believe paper talk, that magazines held on to that interview since July for a reason, think about it. If you were a monthly publication and you had an exclusive with Dan on set during filming of Spectre do you delay publication by 3 months?? as I said stinks of select editing to make it more of a story to sell their magazine.
but at this point i would hope he stops giving interviews entirely.
Has anyone here heard him say even ONE word of praise for Spectre so far?
you know, stuff like "i am proud of this movie" "everyone involved gave it his best" etc...
Instead he uses every interview for his own personal agenda, reminding everyone he is not bond, he is not cool, and bond is actually not cool to begin with...whatever.
yes, he is an artsy little rebel, i get it.... how is this supposed to help the Movie?
Maybe it is some new marketing trick that i am not aware of,
But of course bad press is better than no press....
but i will not take any of his stuff serious from now on.

On Sam Mendes
And we’re not just strangers, we know each other, and so we can shout at one another. It became a proper friendship on this new movie. I felt massively supported by him, in a different way. He had my back and I certainly had his.’
Terrible selfish egomaniac that Daniel Craig LOL.
There’s always so much expectation and talk around a new Bond film. Have you got used to the passionate fans and how much they care?
‘You can’t think about it. I don’t go on the Internet any more. I think if you’re famous, the Internet is evil. I really think that. If you’re famous, it makes you paranoid. Or it makes you more paranoid than you already are. Because if you’re famous and you go on the Internet for half an hour, you realise people are talking about you. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, some of that will make you paranoid. I just don’t do it anymore. It’s the enemy of creativity.’
Nothing against any nationalities and their common use of language but I think it is a matter of manners not to swear or insult others with slang, which sadly some are doing rather often here.
I also don't care if Craig is a street kid, white collar or chav or would have been brought up at Eton college, he should show manners in public and in interviews and he doesn't obviously.
That's no role model behaviour.

Can you imagine him or you doing another Bond movie?
Sam: ‘Well, you know, never say never – and I hear the groans, it’s a terrible cliché. I think for Daniel, only he can answer. For me, I think it’s been an incredible five years doing both movies and it’s probably time for something else. And for someone else to make their own part of the Bond myth. It’s someone else’s job to come in with a new colour and energy and do it their way. I’ll be in the front row to see that.’
Really sounds like Sam is done, going to come down to which director is recruited for Bond 25 that will decide if Dan continues me thinks.
I don't wear any knickers.
More than "one" word actually. I suppose you either read or remember very selectively if you haven't.
Yes, he says he isn't Bond, isn't particularly brave or cool-headed, or indeed otherwise cool, and that's some "personal agenda"? Um-hum...
He is not even supposed to be a role model as far as I know. He didn't sign up for that job.
Commando Bond.
I think an actor in what may be the highest profile role of the film industry automatically is a role model for kids, youths, young adults, adults.
Therefore he has some responsibility to behave.
IMO
I'm in agreement with him actually. Thanks for the memories Sam. Good luck with the future.
I think we'll only truly know about DC after a yr or so, but I'm betting he's through as well. With a studio changeover in the works (possibly) I'm sure they would want someone more 'press friendly' and younger who they could mold and prep for a multi-film period. That only makes sense, from an investment perspective.
It is possible all of this has already been decided behind the scenes, and these small explosions in the media are just the result of that.....
He was always tireless in his promotion for his films, too, EVEN though we know, how much he dislikes it.
I believe, its too easy to just discount someone for one bad trait and forget about everything else. Too easy. Lets leave that to the media and maybe try to have the bigger picture. At least around here, where people have a bit more insight into the matter.
Not to agree or disagree with any of the previous posts about Dan's comments but he's a role model whether he likes it or not. That's the price you pay for having a high profile.
