Look at the release date: October 17, 2008.
Does this mean DVD release in the U.S.? Or release in theaters in the U.S.?

I just checked Netflix and the released date is still Nov. 4, so I don't know.

I just found this http://www.kultura-extra.de/kalender.php?pid=4972
Der Stuntkoordinator Gary Powell stammt aus einer Dynastie von Stuntmen. Die Powell-Familie war bei sämtlichen James-Bond-Filmen seit Dr. No (James Bond 007 jagt Dr. No, 1962) dabei. Sein Vater Nosher Powell und sein Onkel Dinny waren an den Filmen mit Sean Connery und George Lazenby beteiligt, sein Bruder Greg an denen mit Roger Moore und Timothy Dalton und Gary hat an den Filmen mit Pierce Brosnan und Daniel Craig gearbeitet.

I slightly remember that I have read/heard this before, but I'm not sure whether it has been posted here.

It's about Gary Powell and his family, all stuntmen. His family was involved in ALL JB-movies. His father Nosher and his uncle Dinny worked on the Connery/Lazenby-movies, his brother Gred on Moore/Dalton-movies and Gary himself on the Brosnan-movies and of course on CR :wink:

From the Swedish edition of Metro
http://metro.se/se/article/tt/2008/10/1 ... /index.xml

James Bond-stjärnan Daniel Craig har haft en film på gång med Lukas Moodysson. Men tidsbrist stjälpte projektet, säger Craig.

Daniel Craig är just nu i Stockholm för att göra pr för nya Bondfilmen "Quantum of solace". Han har tidigare flera gånger uttryckt sin stora beundran för Moodysson - nu berättar han också att de båda varit i kontakt och diskuterat en filmidé.

– Vi träffades härom året efter han kontaktat mig. Vi försökte få till stånd ett gemensamt projekt men det blev inte så. Jag var upptagen med annat, säger Craig som inte vill berätta vilken film det rörde sig om.

– Men jag hoppas på att kunna jobba med honom någon gång framöver i stället.

Hatt räcker inte

Craig, som gjorde dundersuccé med sin första Bondfilm "Casino Royale", säger att rollen som Bond gett honom ekonomisk trygghet men samtidigt komplicerat hans liv.

– Jag kan inte åka buss, men å andra sidan kan jag hoppa in i ett flygplan till vart som helst i världen så det kanske jämnar ut sig. Det är tråkigt att inte kunna röra sig i offentliga miljöer utan att folk hittar mig. Jag har försökt med hatt, men det funkar inte alls, säger Craig.

På frågan om den flitiga produktplaceringen i Bondfilmerna säger Craig att de är ett nödvändigt ont:

– Företagen ger oss en check och säger "använd pengarna som ni vill". Det är viktigt om man gör en film för tvåhundra miljoner dollar. Jag bekämpar alla tankar på konstnärlig inblandning från de här bolagen och producenterna låter alltid regissören klippa bort en scen även om det skulle innebära att viss en produkt försvinner.

– Jag har visst blivit en hemsk kapitalist, men det är tyvärr enda sättet att få Bondfilmerna gjorda.

First part is about Daniel's attempts to work with Lukas Moodysson, a Swedish director whom he apparently admires a lot (he has mentioned Tillsammans in some interview as one of his fave movies). So far the plans have not worked out because of scheduling problems. Maybe....

The second part is about his lack of privacy and how people recognize him everywhere ("I've tried with a hat but it does not work at all..."). The very last bit is about product placement and how it in the end makes the movies possible...

Thanks for the very nice interview. I do hope he once has the time to make a movie with Moodysson.

I suspect Daniel will show up at the Los Angeles showing of FoaF. He will be in town to film the Tonight Show and then FoaF starts at 5:30 PM.

Daniel Craig weighs in on the US election, confirms 4 Bond films

Actor News - 17-10-08

November is a big month for Daniel Craig. Not just because the latest Bond flick, “Quantum of Solace,” hits theaters Nov. 14, but also because he’s watching U.S. politics very closely - reports MSNBC.

Although Craig, who's British, can't vote in the U.S. presidential election, he has a strong opinion about it anyway.

“I strongly feel there needs to be a new way forward," Craig tells Playboy magazine in an interview on newsstands today. “Barack Obama is pushing things in the right direction. I’m excited about the election. Unfortunately, things will probably get dirty. I hope Obama can stay above the fray … I’m hopeful for the first time in a long, long while. It’s one of the most exciting elections in my lifetime.”

“Solace” is Craig’s second turn as Bond and he’s rumored to be committed to another two films. True? Craig confirms, but seems cagey.

“I did sign on for four,” he says in the interview, “so a piece of paper says there are two more to do. But let’s see how this one goes. In the film business, everything doesn’t always go according to plan. We’ll wait and see. If it goes wrong, we’ll have to rethink things.”

Daniel is in the German Playboy November issue.
Just bought it, but I can scan the pics and the article at earliest on Monday :(

I would like to know whether it's the same interview as in the US Playboy and whether it show the same gorgeous pic....the Man in white T-shirt and a dark blue cardi (as in the Telegraph Magazine, but a frontal pic)
