Craig Says Bond Has Great Stories

Daniel Craig did an interview with Hollywood Outbreak where he discussed the classic James Bond films. Craig has been advocating that the twenty third Bond film, Skyfall will be a film that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the franchise properly as well as being “Bond with a capital B”.

In the interview, Craig touches more on what makes the classic James Bond movies so popular, something that he hopes he has brought to his Bond films as well including Skyfall:

“I think when Saltzman and Broccoli kick-started these movies, cast Sean Connery, spent the money they did, took the books – which are great had great stories… There was a huge amount of impetuous. Sean Connery has a lot to do with that.

Genuinely, I believe that they are embedded in people’s memories. They always made them event movies.

They always made them about a family experience. They made them about going to your first movie as a child… ‘I remember my first Bond movie‘.

They continue to put the money on the screen. Whatever has happened, however good or bad [the movies] may be in the past, they’ve always put the money up there and have always had the ability to entertain. Barbara [Broccoli] and Michael [G. Wilson] are total lovers of this franchise and protect it fiercely and continue to do exactly the same thing as their father did.”

Daniel Craig will return as James Bond in Skyfall, which will land in UK cinemas on the 26th of October 2012.
