Daniel Craig Now Wants to Do Another Bond Movie

Totally hilarious. He just did another interview a week after this article. Don't know if I can link directly on GS due to language (not gonna preemptively censor the whole thing), but it was on io9. Said it last week on this article and I'll say it again; Craig sucks as Bond, and his attitude shows why.

Can you imagine doing another Bond movie?

‘Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on.’

You want to move on from Bond for good?

‘I haven’t given it any thought. For at least a year or two, I just don’t want to think about it. I don’t know what the next step is. I’ve no idea. Not because I’m trying to be cagey. Who the **** knows? At the moment, we’ve done it. I’m not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.’

One aspect nobody seems to be talking about (the focus seems to be on his age/fitness for the perceived Bond image) is what goes into making these movies. The crew literally has no life outside of making the movie, it's work work work all the time every day for several years. The director of the recent movies even talked about it being a "lifestyle" kind of movie. If it's anything like the shoots for Lord of the Rings this means waking up at 5 AM, workout, makeup, quick last minute notes on the day's shots, hours upon hours of physically and emotionally demanding work from everyone involved then going to see the rushes, plan the next day, revise lines and going to sleep late at night. Time for friends and family almost nil, pressure enormous, demands constantly escalating - a very hard life where only the finished product and glittering news coverage is visible for the public to criticise and critique.

So, apparently, most people don't know a thing about the character James Bond's early days or they wouldn't be condemning Craig as they are. He's not supposed to be suave and all that crap as he wasn't always the heartless womanizer that he was often portrayed as in his older years, Craig played Bond as he had just made 007 status and ended up emotionally scarred after the events of Casino Royale, hence the backdrop for Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.

SPECTRE should see us return to the days of Bond having a singular purpose: hunting down this nefarious group and it's leader, Blofeld.

I think Daniel was originally planning on leaving Bond to give a chance to a younger actor for the role, but after hearing a bunch of rumors of old actors that are his age trying to replace him, he's decided to stay.

Why vacate Bond if someone your age is replacing you. By doing one more Bond movie Daniel pretty much makes sure that nobody his age like Hugh Jackman or Damian Lewis will ever have a chance to play Bond. Thus ensuring that they replace him with a much younger actor.

He didn't impress me at first even though he appeared to be a very fit action hero because he wasn't as suave but that was just the beginning of Bond and now he has shown me how things are done with a little more detailed merit in his actions that perfection is that close. I think he is one of my favorite Bond actors now

All you people who say Brosnan was a good bond are Fing idiots.

Craig is a good bond. Quantum of solace was awful though.

I heard rumors about Idris Elba. But not sure what's to come of that. I wouldn't mind it. Guys a legend.

No women though please. This is still bond.

The next bond is supposed to be black... or a woman... or gay... because diversity.

F***, I'd rather have Daniel stick around for another decade before we're forced to see our favorite characters get thrashed just for the sake of "PC".

Craig's Bond movies are by far the best written and most entertaining, I mean who doesn't like Casino Royale? But Connery and Brosnan play the role much better. I do hope Craig sticks around!

Bond has been transformed from a playboy spy to a coldhearted killer with no morals but at least he is not "sexist" anymore according to the critique of the morally bankrupt pseudo-left. That is just the times we live in I guess but I am not interested in seeing this film.

I like Daniel Craig playing Bond.

Why not recast Pierce Brosnan as 007? Yeah, he is old but he could take on the role as an older Bond. I kinda like his recent movies only that he's playing more as a villain/anti-hero.

To play Bond "again" would he not have to pay Bond once already? Simply, he is not Bond. His character is a rather stupid, obtuse, charmless, and indulges in too many entirely "American" things. Poker and whisky...seriously? Sorry if it hurts anyone's fragile feelings but he is a Michael Bay wet dream not a suave badass that keeps to his gentlemanly airs even under threat of death.

No reason why he should quit unless health reasons. He has the right profile and age for the Bond character. A younger, fitter, undamaged Bond would just be a cliche. Bond should always be a seasoned Veteran; A battle-damaged gentleman. That's part of his charm.

Woot! His Bond films have been my favorite, so far. It would have been a bummer for him to leave right after they introduced SPECTRE.

He should dye his hair black for the next one, that would be funny

Excellent. Keep them coming.

That's cool since I really enjoy his portrayal as Bond.

I think he's a pretty good Bond.

He's definitely a good actor, but he's definitely not memorable as a Bond.

I have a hard time remembering any of his lines from the past 3 films, which can't be said of most previous Bonds.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It makes the things going on around him seem richer and more extraordinary.

I wasn't aware the man had ever made a Bond movie.

That's a shame all his films are garbage.

Russell Brand!

Damian Lewis as Bond LOL. Right, Leprechaun Bond, I don't think so. The guy is like 45 years old, what's he gonna do 1 Bond and quit. Where do these ridiculous rumors come from.

Dan Stevens is probably the only good candidate at present if you're listening to rumors.

Anyone over 40 should immediately be ruled out since a new Bond is usually a 3-4 film deal.

This has been my least favorite of all Bonds actor :-(

I'm very happy to hear this, Daniel is a great Bond, in my opinion, being dark and gritty. Casino Royale is probably my favorite movie from Craig; probably because the the Bahamas area with the crane fight scene is awesome he has a lot of charm in Casino Royale I think. Now, Skyfall was okay my least favorite Bond from Craig because he falls out of rhythm and he cant pass the physical exams, he is James Bond! He doesn't lose his touch damn it! All and all I am grateful for Daniel Craig's performance and am glad he is going to continue past this bond film.

No he don't like begin bond asshole

He brings a degree of realism to the character, I like his Bond quite a lot. My favorite is still Roger Moore though, for completely different reasons.

Whenever Craig is done it'll take the team awhile to find the next Bond but not that long, there'll always be fit actors wanting a chance to land that role....so finding someone just means sifting through the hopefuls....

as for Craig's Bond I like.....he's comparable to the best and brings a grounded in reality approach which is nice....not to mention the stunts are just as epic as ever....I love the series...
