Nice photos too- I haven't seen the cover one before and it's cracking.

Moonraker 5 · October 2006

Picked this up this morning, despite it being in the <hhccck-too> Mail. There are some terrific photos, including the no doubt über-controversial shot of Vesper in the casino holding a cigarette!

Interesting quote from Mr Craig though:

I've signed up for two more. Then I can get on with my life.

The clearest indication yet that he's on for 3 and 3 only?

We have heard that quote before, though, and it was much-discussed then. A very unfortunate choice of words. I think it's been said a lot that he's only on for 3, although I think Empire phrases it as 'unconfirmed by producers'.
Perhaps a better quote of Craig's to pluck out before people get the wrong idea is 'Nobody cares about this film more than I do' ! Seems to be almost true- everything about this film I read it seems Craig has given his input on it; from costume to music.

That photo of Craig in the stairwell fight where he appears to be being yanked backwards down the stairs by a rope on his back: towards nothing but the floor a few steps below him- ouch!

That quote about getting on with his life is a tempest in a teapot, as far as I'm concerned. The Bond films take up a notorious amount of an actor's time, what with long shoots and the required publicity. It must indeed feel like Bond is your whole life. After three films, I wouldn't blame him one bit for feeling that way. I assume we all have lives outside of Bond (we do, don't we??), why shouldn't he?

So how does one obtain that magazine? Is it on the Web?

I'm afraid you have to buy the Mail on Sunday newspaper, and you have to do it today.

Ah well. That one's not on sale in my theatre of operations...

Maybe all is not lost just yet, Loeffelholz. The Mail on Sunday website does have a Live Night & Day page. Hopefully, they will post some (if not all) of the Casino Royale special in the next day or two?

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't having a go at Craig or implying it's free season to for the "get on with my life" line. I'm actually expressing a bit of disappointment that he definitely seems to want to draw the line under 3. Granted, I've not seen his Bond yet and I might not care for it (though from what I've seen, I think it's safe to say I'll quite like it), but I'd like to think he might hang about if he's a huge hit. I can completely understand the drawbacks of the massive time demands though.

But that opening line is very encouraging, I agree.

Loeffelholz · October 2006

Ultimately it will come down to $$$$, I think...

I don't have a scooby where to find this

It's not in the 'KILL JILL' magazine is it - because there is some Bond stuff in there? But what one is the Night and Day mag??

Much appreciated, MNL {[]

I've purchased it, but I'm still unsure as to whether I've just purchased online acess to the magazine, or whether I'll actually be mailed a hard copy...it's from something called 'Newspaper Direct' in Canada...

Either way, thanks! :007)

Thanks -- This is a great site, even without the CR stuff.

I managed to get a copy of this - and fine it is too.
Anybody know the make of leather jacket he wears during the shooting range scene ?

Personally I'm glad to hear Craig is only planning on doing three. Whether or not I end up liking his Bond, he strikes me as "strong coffee". Espresso, if you will. And is best in small doses. I can't say for sure of course, but I don't think his Bond would be welcome for a long period of time. Just MRO.

I agree, if his Bond is extreme (and I imagine it is), then it shouldn't be allowed to go stale.

highhopes · October 2006

Great content, especially the pictures. I printed out all the Bond pages and practically used up a full tri-color cartridge, but it's well worth it. Everything looks and sounds great to me (a couple of spoilers in there that surprised me, so beware).
There's a very convincing explanation for the switch from baccarat to poker. I had a feeling that poker was more "cinematic" and suspenseful than baccarat, which basically resembles blackjack. It won't satisfy everyone, but at least they didn't make the change without giving it careful thought.

I don't think it's a scene- I think it's just Daniel getting some training for the film. Might be wrong.

Indeed- 'Poker Player Magazine' this month has a longer interview with the poker advisor on the film- quite a tricky one to find!

Yeah, that's him training "off set"; there's no shooting range scene so I guess it's his own jacket.

emtiem · October 2006

I did think it was possibly a shoot for the title sequence, but that jacket doesn't quite seem to be the sort of thing Bond wears in the film. He has the jacket in the MIA sequence I know, but that's a little more understated.

Napoleon Plural · October 2006

Saturday's Mail had a double page spread on Casino Royale with a big pic of Craig from his original 'shoot' (don't any of the papers see fit to update it with the same pose, better haircut shot?) and the headline "Oh No Seven". However, it was all about the curse of Casino Royale a la Shatterhand's piece on the 1967 spoof and how barking Peter Sellers was on set.

Well, James Mitchell's interview with Daniel Craig has now been posted. This should interest those of you who have yet to see or read the Casino Royale special edition.

I'm sure I'd read that a shooting range scene had been added, or at least filmed ?:) Ah well, knowing me I'm probably wrong

Daniel wears the leather jacket during firearms training at Stoke Pogues. It's still a nice jacket though
