Daniel Craig On The Tone Of Sam Mendes' JAMES BOND 24
Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes will both be back for the 24th instalment of the James Bond franchise, and the former talks briefly here about the tone of the follow-up to Skyfall, saying that he hopes the upcoming movie will "reclaim some of the old irony".
Earlier this year, it was finally confirmed that both director Sam Mendes and star Daniel Craig would be returning for a follow-up to Skyfall. While we know that John Logan will be back on writing duties, there are absolutely no plot details available as of yet. However, Ralph Fiennes as the new 'M' and sother familiar Bond elements like 'Q' and 'Miss Moneypenny' should mean that the film is tonally different; something which Craig was asked to comment on in a recent interview with Vulture. "Hopefully we’ll reclaim some of the old irony," he said of the tone, "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." What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!
