Daniel Craig Doesn’t Think A Woman Should Play James Bond…UH-OH!

  By

The world nearly ended when Hollywood decided to make an all-female remake of Ghostbusters, so we can only imagine the outrage if they made a female James Bond.

Even just talking about it has sparked a debate online, and wouldn’t you know it, Daniel Craig boldly walked his way into the debate.

In a recent interview with Radio Times, the 53-year-old actor who stars as James Bond for the last time in the upcoming film No Time To Die, was asked if he believes an actress should follow in his footsteps.

He responded:

The answer to that is very simple. There should simply be better parts for women and actors of color. Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?

Wow. He even included “actors of color” in the mix, which makes you wonder if he also believes James Bond should remain white.

I mean, I understand what he’s saying. We should be creating new characters and movies just in general, but as long as they’re remaking every movie ever made, maybe it would be cool if they remade them with a twist.

There could be some girl out there who has loved the James Bond franchise, and it’d probably mean the world to her to see a female lead the way. Or maybe it wouldn’t. I don’t know.

Craig’s comments seem to echo that of producer Barbara Broccoli, who told Variety…

I believe we should be creating new characters for women—strong female characters. I’m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that.

But with a last name of Broccoli, who can really trust her opinion?

Even if you’re not a fan of football, the Super Bowl might be an exciting event for you because studios will usually release a couple high profile trailers during the commercials.

Watch The First Teaser Trailer For Upcoming James Bond Film ‘No Time To Die’

  By ,

At the age of 51, Daniel Craig is back one more time as James Bond in the upcoming 25th film in the franchise. ‘No Time to Die’ is set to hit theaters on April 8, 2020, and this week the studio surprised fans with the first teaser trailer.

This teaser trailer is being released just two days before the full trailer drops on Wednesday.

Yes, all of the classic action ingredients are packed into a tight 15 seconds, racking up more than 3 million views in less than 12 hours. The full-length trailer is set to premiere online Wednesday, according to the film’s official Twitter feed.

As mentioned above, this will reportedly be Craig’s last Bond film. He was thought to be done after the 2015 flick Spectre, but he decided to return one more time.

The official synopsis for this film reads…

Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Check Out The First Trailer For ‘Knives Out’ Starring Daniel Craig And Lakeith Standfield

  By ,

Any movie starring Lakeith Stanfield will get a watch from me, simply because I believe he’s an amazing actor.

But when you combine him with a cast that includes Daniel Craig (James Bond), Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Katherine Langford and Christopher Plummer? Well, sh*t…just go ahead and take my money.

‘Knives Out‘ stars Craig and Stanfield as two detectives who visit a creepy manor where a death has occurred.

In typical whodunit fashion, the family is full of strange characters, big secrets, and tense relationships that make for a zany tableau. The movie is described as a tribute to acclaimed mystery writer Agatha Christie, meaning the solution to the mystery is probably complicated, and anything is possible.

Does that sound interesting to you? Of course it does. Sadly, this movie won’t hit theaters until November 27, 2019, but you can get a little taste of what’s to come by watching the trailer below…

Filming On ‘Bond 25’ Has Been Put On Hold After Daniel Craig Injures Himself On Set

  By

It looks like filming on the latest James Bond film has come to a complete stop after Daniel Craig suffered an injury while filming a scene in Jamaica last week.

According to an unnamed source, Craig was running in a scene when he slipped and fell awkwardly. He was reportedly in a lot of pain and “complaining about his ankle.”

The actor fell while sprinting on the set in Jamaica last week and has been flown to the U.S. for X-rays, resulting in a suspension of the shoot.

No word on how long production will be suspended. This is just the latest setback for Bond 25. There was lots of tension behind-the-scenes during the writing of the script. The original director, Danny Boyle, ended up leaving the project due to creative differences with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

As of right now, the film is scheduled to hit theaters April 8, 2020. But depending on how severe Craig’s injury is, that date might get pushed back.

This isn’t the first time Craig’s suffered an injury while filming a Bond movie. During his first stunt scene in ‘Casino Royale’ he had two teeth knocked out. He has also tore a muscle in his shoulder, injured his knee and sliced off the tip of his finger.

Danny Boyle Will No Longer Direct ‘James Bond 25,’ Get The Details Inside!

  By

It looked like everything was golden for the next James Bond film, ‘Bond 25,’ but now things are a bit unsettled after Danny Boyle announced he was leaving the project.

He was all set to direct the film. Back in March, he announced his interest in the project and was supposed to give it his full attention after directing an untitled comedy starring Kate McKinnon and Lily James.

But now it has been announced that Boyle will no longer be involved in the project. The official James Bond Twitter account revealed the exit was due to creative differences…

“Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.”

Of course, “creative differences,” is a vague statement, much like the “irreconcilable differences” you see in most celebrity divorces. Who knows what happened behind closed doors.

This next Bond film is going to be very important because it’s expected to be Craig’s last performance as the secret agent. We have to imagine the studio is giving him a lot of creative control, and he’s probably the one who had a problem with Boyle.

We will keep you posted as the story develops.

Daniel Craig Confirms ‘Bond 25’ Will Be His Next Project, Also Reveals He’s Been Trying To Make The Franchise Appeal More To Women

  By

Back in 2015, after filming Spectre for 8 long months, Daniel Craig claimed he was done with the James Bond franchise for a bit. He said he’d rather slash his wrists with broken glass than star in another Bond film.

But now that he’s had a nice break for a year or two, it looks like he’s more than ready to return. He just recently confirmed that the 25th installment of the Bond franchise will be his next movie.

He also revealed that he hopes this upcoming movie will appeal more to women. During the Opportunity Network’s annual gala in New York City, Craig spoke about how he’s been trying to make the films appeal more to women for the past few years.

“I’ve been trying to do that gently for the past four movies and I’ll continue to do that. We’re right in the middle of doing it.”

The days of Bond seducing beautiful women all over the world might be over, which is probably a good thing because it was beginning to feel a bit outdated.

As of right now, this upcoming Bond movie is scheduled to be released November 8, 2019. No title has been announced, but we will keep you posted.

He’s Baaack! Daniel Craig Confirms He Will Return For One More ‘James Bond’ Film (VIDEO)

  By

For the past month or so, there have been rumors floating around claiming Daniel Craig was planning on returning to the James Bond franchise for one more film. This was a surprise to a lot of people because after filming ‘Spectre‘ he told reporters he’d rather slash his wrists than film another Bond movie.

But after taking a little break from the action, the 49-year-old star has decided to return for one final movie. He confirmed he will star in the still untitled Bond 25, which is scheduled to be released on Nov. 8, 2019.

He broke the news during an interview with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. He revealed that he “couldn’t be happier” to return.

“We’ve been discussing it, we’ve just been trying to figure things out. I always wanted to, I needed a break. I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note, and I can’t wait.”

This should please fans of the franchise. He’s been one of the best Bond actors the franchise has seen, so this should be a wonderful goodbye party.

It’s going to kill at the box office. People will run to see it knowing it’s his last performance as the character.

Say What? Daniel Craig Has Reportedly Changed His Mind, Will Come Back For One More Bond Movie!

  By

Remember back in October of 2015 when Daniel Craig told Time Out London that he’d rather kill himself than make another James Bond film?

The exact quote was, “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on.”

Of course, this was right after filming Spectre, so he probably really did feel like this at the time. It’s like when you walk out of the office on Friday and quietly say to yourself, “I can’t do this anymore,” but then you return on Monday because you like your house and car too much.

Obviously it’s not exactly the same, ’cause Craig doesn’t need to do these movies to survive. He’s set for life. At 49-years-old, he can go live on a beach and never have to work again.

But he’s not ready to throw in the towel just yet. According to a report from The New York Times, Craig is planning on returning to the James Bond franchise for at least one more movie.

On Monday, it was announced that the next installment would hit theaters Nov. 8, 2019. The announcement did not say who would be directing or starring, and so far, reps for Craig have not responded to the report from The New York Times.

So nothing is official yet, but it’s looking like Craig will return. Maybe he wants a proper send-off. We’ll keep you posted as more information is released.
