Bond 22 : Quantum of Solace

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 sure they will make another, a trilogy would be nice. I think he's a great bond. I'd like to see him do more. This is one of my most anticipated movies of this year, right up there with Dark Knight.

Whoops, double clicked post.

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.

[Ayepecks]

I may be wrong, but I think that Campbell said he'd want to focus on a different movie (during the filming of Casino Royale he said that, I think), so MGM went ahead and hired a different director for the sequel.

Could be wrong, though.

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 ;)

I hope the reviews improve! I have looked forward to this.

I never had interest in this before, but now I actually want to go see this movie

[profets]

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.

Rating in Review forum does NOT bode well...

No "Bond, James Bond" and "Shaken, but not Stirred" lines?

:/

[SuperJediMedia]

Well it's 77% on RT right now, could only get worse :(

Ticket already purchased though! :)

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.
