Daniel Craig is currently making the press rounds for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so it’s only natural that people want to talk about the next James Bond film, Skyfall. But in a recent interview, Craig explained why the script for Casino Royale is what brought him to the franchise and then how the writer’s strike is what caused Quantum of Solace to be so terrible.
Hit the jump for more including what Craig says he finds encouraging about Skyfall, which opens November 9, 2012. I guess the solution was: “Do more chase scenes.” I guess at no point did Foster pipe up and say, “Yeah, I’m not really good at shooting those.”
Craig says he was grateful that the movie turned out to be a commercial success, but he wasn’t as happy with the final product as he would have liked to be. However, with Skyfall, he seems more excited, especially since he had more say in choosing the director. He explains why he chose Sam Mendes (American Beauty) for the gig:
Craig is also enthused that they’ve got cinematographer Roger Deakins on board (as well he should be). Hopefully with more lead time, more talent behind the camera, and certainly even more talent in front of it (Craig co-stars with Javier Bardem, Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw), Skyfall will be another great Bond movie.
