Daniel Craig talks a little about the next film, Bond 23

28-Oct-2008 • Skyfall

Dark Horizons interviewed Daniel Craig about "Quantum of Solace" recently and asked a few questions about the next film, the 23rd in the James Bond series expected in 2010 or 2011.

Question: Would you like a ski chase in the next one?

Craig: I'm not a very good skier, jesus. I think my Bond actually slides down the hill on a blanket I don't think there's a lot of that going on.

Question: People seriously reported your jokes about making it funnier. Do people not get your deadpan?

Craig: I mean, I'm sorry. I probably say stupid things in interviews sometimes but I'm not nailing anything down. People kind of want to know exactly what's going to happen in the next movie and I don't know. Is there room for more comedy. Yes, there's room for more comedy.

Question: But it amused me that people took the joke seriously. Do you find people don't get you sometimes?

Craig: I think that's the same for everybody. The thing is, I'm not that complicated I don't think. I'm a pretty open book. I make gags and if people don't get them, I can't please everybody.

Question: Isn't there still a question of the Quantum organization? Mr. White?

Craig: I mean, I don't know, maybe.

Question: Will there be another SPECTRE?

Craig: Well, I think we've set that up. There could be. I genuinely, I don't like films that tie everything up at the end. I like an open ending. I want an audience to go away asking those questions and hopefully they'll continue asking those questions into the next movie we do.

Question: Are you signed for three more Bonds?

Craig: Two.

Question: Would you like to go on for 20 years?

Craig: I haven't got that in me. Jesus Christ. Someone else should do it by then. Look, I will do them as long as I can. I can't see beyond another movie. If they ask me back to do another movie, I would be thrilled. I would be thrilled.

Question: Would you like to see Q and Moneypenny?

Craig: I'd love to, yeah, love to. I think though you offer it to the best actors you can and you say to them, "Forget what's happened. Reinvent it. Tell us what you think these characters should be." That's where it should come from because what they do is a given. How they are is a given.
