Craig unsure about third Bond film

Daniel Craig is unsure whether he will star in another James Bond film.

The actor - who reprises his role as the British spy in upcoming movie Quantum of Solace - says despite signing a contract for another two movies in the franchise, he doesn't know whether he will return to the character.

He said: "I did sign on for four so a piece of paper says there are two more to do. But let's see how this one goes. In the film business, everything doesn't always go according to plan. We'll wait and see. If it goes wrong, we'll have to rethink things."

Daniel also revealed he can "relate" to the depressed character author Ian Fleming originally wrote about.

He added to Playboy magazine: "I got most of my inspiration from Ian Fleming's books. I reread them. In the books, Bond is suave and sophisticated, yes... but there is also a flawed aspect of Bond.

"In the novels he is quite a depressive character. When he is not working, he is at his worst. I can relate."

That actually somewhat makes me wonder if Craig knew this film wouldn't be as good as Casino Royale from the production process... because James Bond films normally do pretty well, but most aren't up to the standards of Casino.

Shame, too... he's an excellent Bond. Makes me wish Martin Campbell would've came back for Quantum.

I'm not surprised if the film doesn't turn out to be as good as Casino Royale, its a sequel, a lot fo the time they just don't hold up these days to the first.

And yes I know Casino royale isn't the first, but you get what I mean.

And I'll never understand why they would change directors if Casino Royale was pretty big, did really well, logic dictates that he did a good job and if I remember correctly he did pretty dam well with Goldeneye too which was popular, you would think they could see a pattern with him.

The last Harry Potter film I really liked and did really well, and they are keeping the director for the next 3 and doing them sooner, a good choice.

But either way I am going to see it and will most probably enjoy it.

Marc Forster not coming back for the next Bond, even though he was offered the job: http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/10/21/mar...bond-at-a-time/

The news snippit also has the writer raving about Quantum, which he saw... so apparently the reviews may still be good/great ;)

from the trailers i'm definitely looking forward to this film.. i dont think you can always trust the reviews

i found this very interesting (hope it wasnt mentioned before).. the budget $ spend and box office income for all the bond films. casino royale cost $130mil, but brought in nearly 600m at the box office. for quantum of solace $230mil was spent.. crazy jump compared to the previous movies as you can see there. goldeneye to tomorrow never dies is interesting as well, the budget nearly doubled while the box office income dropped.

I reckon it's a good film but it's no James Bond. There are no gadgets, no romance and Bond can barely be called a gentleman. I've seen a lot, if not all, James Bond films at it feels as if this one does not fit in.

It's a good movie but give it another title - so do not link it with James Bond - and no one would have known.
