CRAIG: 'NEXT BOND FILM WILL BE FUNNIER'
Contactmusic.com
JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG insists fans will see a different side to him in the next 007 film - he's going to be funnier. The actor excelled in the dramatic scenes of last year's Bond blockbuster Casino Royale - but admits he is excited at the prospect of trying to add a lighter touch to the next movie. He says, "They (the producers) just want more gags. The next one's going to a lot funnier. Octugirl thingy and girl thingy Galore style gags." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/ar ... ilm%20will%2...

Let Eon do it, it will give a quicker excuse to pick Bond 7 after.

Does anyone still regard contactmusic as a reliable source after that "Craig wants a gay Bond" nonsense?

Apparently the humour will come from a scene where Craig as Bond goes undercover as a stand up comedian.
:lol:
No really, it's true.

Yeah, it was good reading when coming from the actual interview.

Q: You managed to make it(the role) your own.
A: We will see.

Q: You've already done it--we don't have to see. And the only contentious issue when you were offered the part was the fact that you're blond.
A: They just want more gags. The next one's going to be a lot funnier.

Q: Octopussy kind of gags?
A: Yeah. Octopussy. Pussy Galore. They're all great names. But that's the thing; all the Bond jokes have been flipped on their heads. They've all gone beyond... Should we order a bit more wine, so I can think straight? (Food is delivered to the table.)


Funny how things could be taken out of context. It's like Sean Connery joking about playing Bond's dad on Bond 22 and everyone took him seriously.

What is this new urban myth that states that people opposed Craig just because he had "blond hair". There's a bit more to it than that.

That's not the way the press or the general public see's it.
Of course there is more to it, but... not much. :lol:

I'd add short, strange looking, uncharismatic and an acquired taste to the blonde part.

'Paul Haggis'
