“We are trying to make it a PG film.” -Michael G. Wilson [perhaps worried about selling tickets]
"Potentially, you cheapen your brand [James Bond] if you do this." Daniel Craig
“ ‘Don’t let someone screw it up. It’s okay if you do that, but not someone else’ ” -Barbara Broccoli allegedly quoting Cubby.
"I made three Tomb Raiders" –Daniel Craig
“Nervousness about the new film is intense, as I found out at a five-minute 'taster'”
Another awful performance from the constantly sour and dower Craig in a very friendly interview with The Times. Closed off and aloof from an individual who tried to charm Craig by offering compliments. Craig is so distant that much of the article is filled so with what interviewer imagines the glum, tight lipped, pinched faced Craig’s reactions could be. Obviously he received nothing from Craig in a way that could be considered contributing to the article.
To make matter worse, the worst mistake in the history for the franchise, Daniel Craig, shows why he is the Esquires ‘Best Dressed Man’ by showing up to an interview in jeans and a polo shirt. It should be noted that the unremarkable Bond was not hounded by fans and did not have to fight off any requests for his autograph.
The apparent first impression of this interviewer is that Craig doesn't seem like Bond. When Craig is mentioned the descriptions matches a villain or henchmen from one of Fleming’s novels not James Bond. For example the interviewer describes Craig as that "His lunchtime performance is more like one of 007’s dull-eyed enemies than Bond himself."
Craig fails to shine, instead he demonstrates what we’ve been saying all along, he is wrong for the role. The entire tone of the interview is one of discomfort and surliness, full of vulgar and inappropriate words. All attempts at intelligent conversation were foiled by the sour, ill-tempered thespian. Rejecting conversation the foul mouthed cretin responds in boorish, juvenile, profanity-laced unBond like simple sentences.
However, interestingly in an interview very light on the facts and fact checking, some of facts brought up near the end are eye openers. Crag admits to having been in talks with Barbra and trying to get the role years ago.
Barbra says Cubby told her it was ok to screw up the franchise as long as she was the one who did it.
Daniel implies that he doesn't respect and doesn’t understand the Bond role in statements like: “I told them Bond needed to change. Even if it fails.” Adding "Potentially, you cheapen your brand [James Bond] if you do this."
When asked about his three picture deal Craig responded that it’s a standard. “I did three Tomb Raiders.”
