Daniel Craig Says Skyfall Will be ‘the Best Bond Ever!’

James Bond is regarded as one of the best fictional characters in cinema history, and 2012 will see the release of its 23rd film, Skyfall.
There is always a lot of anticipation surrounding the release of any new Bond flick, but when its leading man Daniel Craig, says the next installment is BETTER than Casino Royale, then it certainly brings the film fanatics expectations to a whole new level.
Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale is one of the best James Bond movies of all time. Ask any Bond fan and it will top every one of their lists when it comes to being the greatest.
When released back in 2006, it was the highest grossing Bond film ever, making just under $600 million at the box office. It set the bar very high for future Bond films because not only was Bond back being cool and sexy again but also the makers took him back to his origins and made him a much darker character… So to say Craig’s statement was ‘bold’ is a bit of an understatement!
In a recent interview, the actor tells Empire magazine that he expects the Sam Mendes film to be ‘better!
He said, “Sam Mendes has lived with Bond his whole life, he grew up with Bond in the same way I did.”
He goes on to say; “We (Craig and Mendes) have the exact same reference points, we both like the same Bond movies, and we both like the same bits in the same Bond movies we like.”
Sounds like this pairing really hit it off, and if they can recreate their joint passions on the big screen then I reckon we are certainly in for a mouth-watering visual treat.
It’s just a shame we have to wait nearly a year for it. Oh well, good things come to those how wait!
