Craig didn't want Bond
Daniel Craig has apparently stated that he never wanted to play Bond...wait a minute, if that's true, why did he accept the role? It gets even odder with his statements that appear to prepare for a way out for him should Casino Royale fail, from Digital Spy:
"I never really wanted to do James Bond," announced the 38-year-old, whose casting has upset some hardcore fans. "Don't get me wrong, I want to make big movies and I want to make as much money as I possibly can, but there's not a tremendous emotional challenge."The star is also afraid he will be criticised if Casino Royale is unsuccessful. "It's a dodgy place to be walking," he commented. "I don't really want to get the rap for destroying the franchise."
None of the signs have been good for the return of Bond, I have yet to hear something that makes me sit up and think that we might see an entertaining movie, just a lot of talk and over hype. Now I think Craig is just stepping back from all that ever so slightly.
