Was Daniel Craig told to stop shaming ‘Bond’ films?

EPA/CLAUDIO ONORATI Italian actress Monica Bellucci and British actor Daniel Craig at a photocall on location for the shooting of the 24th James Bond movie “Spectre”, at the Senatorial Palace – Piazza del Campidoglio in Italy on 18 February 2015. And, crucially, Craig solves the conundrum that’s been bothering “Skyfall” fans since 2012: how exactly did Bond and M (Judi Dench) pass the time on that long drive from London to the Scottish Highlands?

“They had problems initially with the script, Craig was injured on the set and needed knee surgery, and they were still doing re-shoots last month, even though the movie is out in weeks”, an insider told the publication of Spectre. He’s an extraordinary man whose appeal lies in being so very different and hard and someone whom people find strikingly attractive and compelling. “I’m not thinking about any work at the moment”.

‘I don’t know, it’s one of those things – he’s fun at a party but don’t stay too late’. “Good luck to them”, Craig said when asked if he cared who played Bond next. I’ve no idea. Not because I’m trying to be cagey.

On Q and the gadgets and gimmicks associated with the character, Daniel says of the new film: “I can’t really reveal anything but needless to say we haven’t shied away from [them]…”

“Don’t be s–. You’ve got to step up”.

Craig was reportedly paid $10.7 million for Skyfall, making him the highest-paid Bond actor ever.

He added that the only reason he would return to the franchise would “be for the money”.

Spectre” is set for release in the United Kingdom on October 26 and worldwide on November 6.
