DANIEL CRAIG RELIEVED BOND IS BACK

DANIEL Craig has revealed that he thought the latest Bond film would never be made and he would be too old to reprise the role.
The 43-year-old actor explained that after work was suspended on Bond 23 in April 2010 due to financial trouble he was worried he would never utter the words, “The name’s Bond, James Bond” again. Luckily a rescue deal was confirmed and work on the latest Bond will begin again later this year.
Daniel told Esquire magazine: “If we couldn’t get the film made it would be ridiculous because we’d made all this money and it was a good bet. They were just in a very complicated financial situation but there was nothing [the film-makers] could do. Either it was going to sort itself out or I was going to get too old and that would be the end of it. I was desperate to have another crack at it. I think I would have felt disappointed eventually.”
The film, out in cinemas in October 2012, is directed by Sam Mendes, whom the 007 actor admires. “Sam Mendes is a Bond fan through and through. He’s read every book. So his take is very similar to mine in the sense that we want to get something that excites us and turns us on and hopefully turns everybody else on.”

Craig’s only problem is convincing people he isn’t actually the famous spy: “I’m just me. I’m not Bond. I do not carry a gun. Honest.” That’s exactly what a spy would say…
