BRINGING BACK THE HUMOUR... BOND 24

Whilst Daniel Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz are gearing up for their Broadway production 'Betrayal', they were interviewed by Vulture about the show. Eventually, the conversation turned to BOND 24.

"The shot where Bond leaps atop a speeding train in pursuit of a killer and straightens his cuffs: That came to Craig practically in mid-flight. He’s really fucking hurt himself jumping on top of a train, and he just wants to straighten himself up. That’s what it’s about: poise. To be more concerned about the way you look at the moment of crisis. The weirder the place it comes from the better it is.”

According to Craig, he had the entire crew reset the sequence so that the addditional scene could be shot. Vulture also asked Craig if his interpretation would now be 'ready to take on the trappings and suits of 007 with less chafing'. To which he replied...

“Hopefully we’ll reclaim some of the old irony, and make sure it doesn’t become pastiche. I can’t do shtick, I’m not very good at it. Unless it kind of suddenly makes sense. Does that make sense? I sometimes wish I hammed it up more, but I just can’t do it very well, so I don’t do it.”
