Irony, mate.
*applauds*
Absolutely true. That is indeed the biggest difference between on one hand Moree/Connery and on the other hand Craig.
The amount of creative freedom, including script revisions by Connery for 'Goldfinger', were always denied to him. Craig however........it seems Barbara is turning him into some kind of 'Tom Cruise'. She loves him.....especially from a creative point of view.
So another question comes up now:
If Daniel Craig quits as Bond actor, could he still return as co-producer? Giving valuable advise to his future successor?
Craig remains Eon's top choice as 007, veteran crew member tells BBC
http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-37516060
“We would love Daniel to return as James Bond,” Callum McDougall said today on the BBC’s Today program.
Craig, 48, “absolutely, without question” is the top choice of Eon co-bosses Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, McDougall said.
“I know they’re hoping for him to come back.”
McDougall, has been a production manager on the film series since 1995’s GoldenEye. He added the title of co-producer for 2002’s Die Another Day and executive producer starting with 2006’s Casino Royale. (In films, executive producer is a secondary producer title, while on television it’s the title for the top producer or producers.)
Craig has had the Bond role for the last four 007 films.

Connery's feelings on the script of Goldfinger were listened to, actually,@Gustav_Graves. He was part of the reason Maibaum was brought back in at a later stage to fix some issues.
But that's neither here nor there, as we don't know how much influence Dan has had on the script, at least to my knowledge, so a lot of judgement there can't be imposed.
As for the question, of course Dan isn't going to stay on as a co-producer. When he's done in front of the camera, I think he's also done behind it. He's got his own things he'll want to do post Bond, and I think if he stayed on to produce he'd feel like he was hogging the stage and getting in the way of the new guy in the role, who would deserve his shot uncontested by a previous Bond actor working behind the scenes.
I not sure this guy should be trusted.
@Mendes4Lyfe have you been watching the second series of Poldark? What do you make of it, and of Turner in it?
The series itself is very prototypical for a costume drama. Not bad, just not all that inspiring or unique. I like it because it is filmed in my county and I recognise quite a few of the landscapes.
Aidan Turner on the other hand does a stellar job. I think between this and 'And then There Were None' he shows us why he is perfect for Bond, and more importantly what his Bond would be like.
Do you watch/enjoy the show?
Yeah, I'm enjoying it. Although it's not as good as the first series, I'm not finding it as engaging. The trial scene had no suspense and then there should have been more tension when he went out smuggling. He has the looks for Bond but I would have to screentest him if I was the producer.
@Mendes4Lyfe, you think EON will hire Brosnan again? Interesting theory. I guess if he dyed his hair black as you said, he could do it.
Weird. In my mind I thought he'd won.
Pierce looks fantastic here. Fucking fantastic.
But what's to negotiate though? It's not like Craig is all about the money; and if it's not about that then it would be over creative directives and I'm sure all parties will be lobbying for something that won't turn out to be a disaster of a joke.

He's got more style and presence than ever before, and it really makes you wonder what he could do as an older Bond. At least we have The November Man, regardless of if it nets any sequels or not.
I'm sure @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 and @bondjames would agree. I just love how good-looking these 60+ years old like Neeson, Brosnan, Gibson, Denzel and Dalton still look.
Forget Hiddlewhatever, Idris, Jamie Whatshisname, etc etc. When Craig goes....Brosnan must come back!!!!!!!!! Pierce looks DAMN good there.
And if not Pierce, then Tim.
...or I must be dreaming.
He's never screamed Bond to me, but it'd be interesting to see him appear in the films in some capacity. I think he'd make for a great M.
If Bond were to be recast for B25 I would fully support the idea of Tim or Pierce returning for the next 3 films.
