Daniel Craig Reviews, Interviews & More
Following the long, uncertain gap between 2008’s Quantum of Solace and 2012’s excellent Skyfall (with Skyfall being delayed due to serious financial issues) one would assume that MGM and producers of the James Bond films would be rushing the as-yet unnamed 24th Bond film into production, especially because of Skyfall’s runaway...
As recently as mid-February, news was coming from the James Bond camp that the director of Skyfall, Sam Mendes, would be returning to direct the as-yet unnamed 24th James Bond film. Source noted that, following the extreme success of the film (high critical ratings, the highest box office grosses of any Bond film ever, two Academy Award wins and three more nominations), Mendes was...
James Bond franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson infamously made a misstep following the success of Casino Royale by hiring Marc Forster to helm Quantum of Solace (the man simply can’t shoot his way out of a paper bag if a moving camera or action sequence is required); so it...
For those who’ve bought the Bond box set, this week you can finally add the latest film to that set. There’s also some of the fall’s flops, and missed opportunities. Bond dominates this week of DVD and Blu-ray releases.
David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, despite being based upon both a hit series of novels and a popular foreign film series, didn’t exactly set the box office on fire when it was released, becoming a mild to moderate success and generally considered to be one of Fincher’s lesser efforts. That said, a sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire,...
It's been a very long week. And yes, it's because we had an election. Thankfully the shameless ads and debates are over, and we can go back to watching to TV like normal people. This week in entertainment news, Nicolas Cage was officially cast in The Expendables 3, except it was all untrue. Sly Stallone debunked the news, saying Cage wasn't in the movie (but maybe...
For the press conference, for Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig, and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were on a victory lap after the huge opening the film has enjoyed internationally. You can tell when talent is feeling relaxed about their films, and it’s easy to see why with Skyfall. It’s a winner. Here’s our interview with the group.
George Clooney has put together a dreamy, all-star cast for his next feature, a WWII drama entitled Monuments Men. Daniel Craig, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, and Jean Dujardin are just a few of the names that will appear in Clooney's fourth directorial effort.
While the American box office didn’t exactly set any records over the weekend—unless you count it as a new low (high?) in general audiences apathy towards forward-thinking flicks, seeing as how Cloud Atlas heavily crashed and burned—overseas, it was a different story. In the European market, there was one name above all: Bond, James Bond (ugh, forgive me for doing that, it...
While the pretty glowing reviews are still coming in—be sure to read our take—on Skyfall, the 23rd EON Productions James Bond film, and despite the fact that the film won’t even see a U.S. release until November 9, a new Bond film is already being written.
Right now a couple of popular British characters may be going through a transitional period within the next couple of years. There's been chatter of the 12th Doctor in Doctor Who being played by a woman, and the James Bond franchise may face the same treatment. No, they're not going to change James Bond into a woman (that'd be just plain weird) but Idris Elba may be...
Skyfall offers the triumphant return of James Bond for his fiftieth anniversary. But Daniel Craig's Bond gets no pensioner's watch for his service, instead he gets one of the best entries in the franchise. Offering one of the greatest casts and the best cinematography in the franchise's long history, Skyfall is the event blockbuster you...
Skyfall opens on November 9 in America (it's hitting England this weekend), and for Americans it seems to be getting The Avengers treatment, which is an enormous amount of pre-release hype and pre-release clips from the film. The latest offers Daniel Craig's Bond talking with his new quatermaster, aka Q (Ben Whishaw), for the first time.
One of the highlights—or biggest eyeroll moments, depending on how you feel about Bond films—of the Skyfall trailer takes places when the back of a train is ripped off and James Bond leaps inside, lands, and coolly adjusts his cufflinks because, well, he’s James Bond and this is all in a day’s work and, besides, it’s his job to look cool. Well, today, in honor of the 50th...
For those waiting impatiently for the next adventure of James Bond, there's some good news. Skyfall, which hits theaters in America November 9, will be coming to Imax screens a day earlier. So you can thrill to Daniel Craig's latest adventure on a much bigger screen before everyone else on November 8 - or at least before most other Americans.
While the domestic trailer for Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third to star Daniel Craig, featured a more well-rounded look at the film’s plot and the relationship between Bond (Craig) and M (Judy Dench), the newest international trailer gives us more of a glimpse of Javier Bardem’s bizarrely coiffed new villain, Raoul Silva. Once again, Javier Bardem...
While the buzz continues to build around Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third to star Daniel Craig, more and more tidbits about the film are breaking loose and falling our way. Today, we have both the new domestic poster for the film, as well as information about the film’s theme song.
Though Skyfall doesn't hit theaters until November 9, it seems the makers of James Bond are quite comfortable with Daniel Craig. So much so that they've signed the star to at least two more Bond adventures. And, to be fair, he's made one pretty great Bond, and one not so great Bond, but was never the problem in either.
"Bond. James Bond.". Though hard to believe, it has been five decades since Sean Connery first uttered that iconic line, and now we're on the verge of the release of the twenty-third official Bond film Skyfall starring Daniel Craig as our latest incarnation of Bond. But over the years, James Bond has been through many different itterations. Despite having its share of...
If you enjoyed David Fincher’s 2011 adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo… well, we’ve got some good news, some mediocre news, and some bad news concerning the follow-up film, The Girl Who Played With Fire, in which the titular character, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), is framed for the murder of two journalists. Read ‘em and weep below.
