UK press screenings are on October 21 (according to BBC's Chris Evans)
Reviews will be held to then at the earliest or more likely the Friday 23rd or the night of the premiere.

It really depends how good it is, if it's Skyfall-league, they'll probably let reviews break 21st

Just a bit out of an interview with the costume designer

Interview: When I told people I was going to interview you, they say: '[GASP] She touched Daniel Craig!'.
Jany, interrupting: 'He's so fantastic'.
interviewer: [LAUGHS] They say that too.
Jany: [LAUGHS] Yeah, everywhere. Yeah, I often see him naked, it's true.
Interview: And what's that like, is something the people at home wanna know.
Jany: You talk about muscles, they're there. He has a fantastic body.

:lol: Yeah, but I would put him in different clothes :twisted:
In short shirts, short everything. He is again running around in Mexico (Panama anybopdy) ewith a suit and even a tie :shock: How crazy is that? What a missed opportunity. Lea and back then Olga were half naked. Boah! :evil: Not funny.

I can't see how Spectre will NOT beat Skyfall. From what we've seen of trailers etc, I think it'll be loads better. :) :) All a matter of taste I suppose.

And YES to "Naked Danny" being provided as well. :twisted:
Thanks for the interview Cass. :thumbup:

Following on from the Time Out interview Cinema Blend has this article.

10 Blunt And Brilliant Daniel Craig Quotes About The New James Bond

Daniel Craig’s ready for a holiday. His work on the latest James Bond adventure, Spectre, is finished. All that’s left is the promotion, which should take Craig and his 007 compatriots to the corners of the globe where they can market Sam Mendes’ effort to the masses.

As part of that endeavor, Daniel Craig sat down with Time Out for a spectacularly candid interview about all things Bond, and if you are a fan of the agent with a license to kill – in particular, in Craig’s take on the timeless spy – then the entire interview is a must read. The type of honesty that Craig brings to the conversation is refreshing and appreciated. Not that Craig has ever been one to pull punches or protect his opinion when speaking with the press. But his thoughts on Skyfall, Spectre, and the present and future state of James Bond are tremendously frank. Here are 10 of our favorite Craig soundbites, on the biggest Bond topics occupying his thoughts at the moment:

Daniel Craig on Spectre
"Everyone’s been banging on to me about the gadgets. ‘Where are the gadgets?’ Before, it hasn’t felt right. And it’s not like we’ve made this one heavily into gadgets. But we’ve snuck a lot of stuff in. So, yes, it’s got more bells!"
Daniel Craig’s approach to 007 has been more grounded and realistic. Casino Royale, in fact, was the most stripped down and bare-knuckle Bond story we’d seen I years. This likely was a direct reaction to the grotesque overindulgence of the Pierce Brosnan era, but Spectre sounds like it’s inching Craig closer to the classic Bond mythos. I mean, in Dave Bautista, he finally has a henchman to battle!

"Am I getting my kit off in this movie? Yes, I’ve been working out for six months. Of course I’m getting my kit off!"
Craig wants fans to know that while there might not be something as eye-catching as his ocean scene in Casino Royale, he understands the physicality of the role, and won’t disappoint his dedicated followers.

"There was a conversation at one point that went: ‘Let’s film two movies back to back.’ I just went: ‘You’re out of your fucking minds.’ In the nicest possible way. They’re just too big."
That rumor did make the rounds for a while, with screenwriter John Logan, at one point, concocting a storyline that would entail two movies. It’s still possible Spectre might end with a cliffhanger that has to be resolved in the next Bond movie, but Craig needs time before he even starts wrapping his brain around that.

On Daniel Craig vs. James Bond
"I know that how Bond wears a suit and walks into a room is important. But as an actor, I don’t want to give a fuck about what I look like! So I have to play with both things."
There are multiple moments in this entertaining interview where Daniel Craig points out the stark differences between himself and the iconic character he has been playing in four separate movies now. For example, while many view 007 as the epitome of awesomeness, Daniel Craig is quick to point out…

"I’m not very cool. I’m not the coolest human being. I wish I was, but I’m not. And I don’t pretend to be cool. But playing James Bond, you have to be cool, and what the hell is cool? You could write a dissertation on it!"
Many probably have tried. And I’m sure that Daniel Craig is downplaying his coolness, in his British, self-effacing way. But he’s not telling a joke. But as Craig will quickly tell you, he’s not funny. The Bond movies have gotten funnier. But they aren’t driven by jokes, because Craig can’t do that. He explains:

"Look at people like Seth Rogen and people who make those movies. A lot of that is improvisation. They’re funny people, and I’m not used to doing that sort of thing."
And he hasn’t gotten used to doing that sort of thing, even though Skyfall really increased the subtle humor that once was a signature of the franchise. Craig credits Sam Mendes for the addition of light humor. And he knows that we all chuckled at Quantum of Solace, but for different reasons.

On The Future Of Bond
Here’s where Daniel Craig really unleashed. Apparently, one of the last things you should ask Craig about right after he has wrapped work on one James Bond movie is when he’s going to do another Bond movie. When Time Out asked if he’d be willing to dive right into the next Bond movie, Craig responded:

"I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists."

Tell us how you really feel, Mr. Craig! In case it wasn’t crystal clear what could possibly motivate Craig to come back and make Bond 25, he clarified:

"If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."

OK. Well, the conversation finally floated around to who might eventually replace Daniel Craig in the role of 007, as his time in the Aston Martin likely will be limited. But Craig doesn’t have too many ideas about who could succeed him, stating:

"Look, I don’t give a fuck. Good luck to them! All I care about is that if I stop doing these things we’ve left it in a good place and people pick it up and make it better. Make it better, that’s all."

But really, if the next James Bond actor (or actress) called Craig and asked them for advice on how to nail the role, what would he tell that person?

"Don’t be shit!"

Exactly. Daniel Craig will work really hard to not be shit in Spectre, which opens in theaters on November 6.

Prefer this article about the slashing the wrists quote.....DM made it seem like it was for playing Bond in general again. Of course he's not going to dive into straight into another one! Even though I still hope and pray he will do one more. Maybe give him some time to re-connect with his family again first.

Monica Bellucci: Being faithful is difficult


The 51-year-old beauty enjoyed working with Daniel on the latest installment of the spy saga and found shooting sex scenes with him "easy".

She told the new issue of Britain's GQ magazine: "What I like about Daniel is that it's so simple, he's a great actor, he's very beautiful.

"It was easy to do scenes that would be difficult to do with someone else, where you have to get intimate with someone you don't know, but with him it was easy."

Daniel Craig is 'highest-paid James Bond EVER as he earns £39million for Spectre'

Daniel Craig is reportedly the highest-paid James Bond star EVER.

The Spectre action hero is said to be in line to earn around £39million for his role in 007's latest adventure.

According to The Sun, the actor's deal for his salary and profit share is worth more than the combined earnings of all the men to take on the role.

A source close to MGM said: "Daniel's deal means he'll bank $24million (£15.66m) for acting, around $6million (£3.82m) for endorsements and $30million (£19.58m) if the financial projections are on course.

"Even taking inflation into account he is by far the highest paid Bond actor."

Here we go........I wish he'd learn to keep his mouth shut at times, and when
asked about future Bond films, just reply "we'll see." :wink:

Yup, together with the money reports, that doesnt sit well. He is like a loaded gun. But thats the bed, he makes for himself and will pay the price. I wonder, why he is hurting his own image so much. Looks like he does it on purpose.

He really does make it difficult for himself. It makes him seem spoilt and ungrateful.

In other news, Dave Bautista got married at the weekend.
She's very bendy..... :wink:
