I think that title Risico is going to be for the next movie. I haven't read any of the books but it's clear to me that Barbara Broccoli knows that Daniel Craig is the true Bond of the books so she always wants to use titles from them. Hey here's an idea...wouldn't be great if they used Daniel in part of the title song? What I mean is they should have him recite lines from the story during the song. He's been apearing in the titles so they should make it that we hear his voice too. Maybe during an instrumental break he can go into a voice part and recite a paragraph from the story. That will connect the film to its artistic literary source. The films now under Daniel are arty so that will tie it all together. Daniel can do it because he sang in a movie called Infamous. He played a prisoner and he picked up a guitar and sang in the prison cell. God, the next one will be even bigger than QOS. That's already the pattern with Daniel Craig Bond movies.

In a recent interview, Michael G. Wilson did suggest that Craig would emulate the likes of Peter Sellers and play several characters in Bond 23. |

Alvin, my boy, you do break the monotony, I must say. :-) Could Risico be used as a title? Perhaps. But from a marketing standpoint, it's a lame title. It sounds like a spaghetti sauce. Anyway, I was sifting through some old Bondian magazines over the Thanksgiving weekend and found an interview of Michael G. Wilson. This is what he had to say back in '87 during the making of TLD when asked about some titles from the short stories: Are you planning on using the title "The Hildebrand Rarity"? "No, we're not using that one." How about "Risico"? "I don't know what it means. And we used it in For Your Eyes Only as part of the story." What happens then with no more titles available from Fleming? "I guess we'll make up our own titles." This interview is from Richard Schenkman's old publication Bondage, which he published as part of the fan club he ran in those days. It's Bondage Number 15, May 1987. Wilson is a bit flippant, especially with his reaction to Risico as a potential title; at the same time, he certainly didn't sound interested in that title. Then again, with the latest film, they clearly ran out of time to find a title and Wilson admitted that they chose the title Quantum Of Solace just days before the press conference, so may be they'll find themselves in the same situation for Bond 23 and settle on Risico, only this time they'll announce it just two minutes before the press conference.  |

I remember Wilson pouring cold water on the idea of making a Casino Royale film in an interview in the late nineties! |

commanderbond.net/article/5873A Fresh Start For 'Bond 23', Says Daniel Craig'We've finished this story as far as I'm concerned.' As mentioned several times in the past when Bond 23 discussions came up, Daniel Craig is keen on reintroducing Miss Moneypenny and Q back into the franchise after being absent from both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. At a press event earlier today for Craig’s upcoming Defiance, Collider got a chance to quiz the James Bond star even further about what fans can expect from the 23rd entry in the 007 series. When asked whether or not Bond 23 would latch onto the story presented in Royale and Quantum to form a trilogy of sorts, Craig said: ‘No f—king way. I’m done with that story. I want to lie on a beach for the first half an hour of the next movie drinking a cocktail.’ As many CommanderBond.net readers are well aware, Quantum director Marc Forster had filmed a one-minute scene that was originally intended to close the film. Featuring Bond, Mr. White and Guy Haines, this ‘cliffhanger’ ending would have necessitated that Bond 23 continue the story. ‘If I would have kept the scene, then producers wouldn’t have had a choice but to make it a trilogy. Now they can start new. They have that opportunity,’ Forster said at the time. Craig continued: ‘We’ve finished this story as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to. The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let’s try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let’s do all that and have some fun with it.’ ‘We’ve finished this story as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to.’ The actor couldn’t confirm a strict timetable for his third Bond film, stating: ‘We don’t know when we’re going to do the next Bond. Nobody’s thinking about it at the moment. We’re giving it a rest for the moment. If I can squeeze in next year I will… but I haven’t figured out what that’ll be yet. But nothing in the cold.’
It was reported last year that Sony was eyeing a 2010 release date for Bond 23, but producer Michael G. Wilson has since stated that a 2011 release seems more likely.
In an interview with IGN, he said: ‘I would think that we’d bring it out in two-and-a-half to three years [from] now, I guess. It’s hard to tell until we get working on the script [which is scheduled to commence in January 2009]’

‘No f—king way. I’m done with that story. I want to lie on a beach for the first half an hour of the next movie drinking a cocktail.’ It's nice to hear Craig actually make a joke, but I still don't understand why he thinks Bond shouldn't be represented with a certain degree of class. When asked a reasonable question like, "Are still planning to make a trilogy?", you don't really want to hear, "No f-king way. I'm done with that story." It sounds like a flippant, uneducated teen. Not someone who expects to be regarded as James Bond. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how EON proceeds. Craig has also said that he doesn't think having Q experiment with fun, improbable gadgets would work. (You know, because it's one of the public's least favorite things about a James Bond movie- and has been for decades.) He clearly still has a Forster-esque view of this series, and I'm not sure the same could be said for Wilson or the studio at this point. |

It's hard to tell when it's written on paper, but I'm betting this is his exaggerated way of saying that Bond will be more relaxed on the next flick. Again, Craig has said an old Bond film he would like to do if he had the chance is to make a GF-type. He acknowledges that the arc in CR-QOS is finished and it's time to move on. |

Daniel Craig is such a great actor. In that interview he is in command of the situation. He really knows how to handle the media, that's why he feels confident to say profanity. He is in control. But I'm really getting excited now for the next one. God, I can only say that Daniel humbles me. He said in that interview that he wants to show where Moneypenny and Q came from. This is really exciting because he wants to explore the origins of Moneypenny and Q! The fact that Daniel wants to explore those characters goes to show that he's willing to let other characters evolve dramatically. It's a good idea to watch QOS again; maybe there are symbols that I didn't catch but their in the movie because I read Marc Forster has symbolism in all his films. I mean, may be he quietly put in symbols that foreshadow the stories of Q and Moneypenny.

That's one of the things DC supporters say about him. That he is a great actor. As if Bond fans should be grateful to have him instead of that rubbish actor Brosnan.
In my view he is a competent actor. Definatly not great and no better than Brosnan, Connery and Dalton. I don't remember any Bafta's, Golden Globes or Oscars for him before 2005. He was still doing T.V. work or having bit parts in films like 'Tomb Raider' and 'Road to Peridition' prior to 2005. Bigger roles in films like 'Sylvia' & 'The Mother' were panned and came and went without anyone noticing. People only remember' Layer Cake' now because it was his last leading role before becoming Bond. As we all know, no one had heard of him before he became Bond. His films since becoming Bond have'nt fared much better either. Does'nt sound like a great actor to me.

Just because an actor doesn't have many box office hits doesn't make an actor not great. Craig may not be regarded as a great actor as far as non-Bond films go, but he'll always be regarded as a great Bond, if reviews of his performance for both films say anything at the moment. |

Connery won 'Bafta's, 'Oscars' and was an 'A' list hollywood star throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. A lot of his films were critically acclaimed & successful and he starred alongside the big movie stars of the time. Now that is what I call a great actor.
Dalton, Moore & Brosnan were great Bonds and competent actors. The reviews of DC performance in QOS suggest he still has way to go before he can called a 'great Bond', let alone a great actor.

It's nice to see that the legendary Daniel Craig is willing to consider allowing Q and Moneypenny to grace one of his incredibly serious films.

What does everyone think ?
Should we be bowing and thanking god that we have such as great, serious actor and thespian playing Bond ?
Or is DC no better an actor than most of the previous Bonds ?

I'm not sure Sony think he's the greatest living actor after the hit they've taken on Quantum Of Solace. I don't think the role of James Bond requires a great thespian or that Daniel Craig is that great.

Daniel Craig has not done much. He has had some bit parts in big Hollywood films and made a selection of low-budget UK films. I do remember reading poor reviews for his performance as Ted Hughes. I can't remember any other reviews.
He is just a solid UK actor similar to the likes of Christopher Ecclestone. He is not a great actor with a wonderful CV.
When Craig was cast as Bond his supporters said he was the only actor who was good enough to play this new complex Bond. That is why Eon chose someone who looks nothing like James Bond. That argument for the casting of Craig as Bond probably no longer applies as Eon have just made a daft action heavy Bond!
