Daniel Craig Discusses Writing for Quantum of Solace

Daniel Craig candidly reflected on the troubled production of his second Bond film, Quantum of Solace, admitting it was a 'f***ing nightmare' due to starting without a complete script amidst the 2007-2008 writers' strike. He revealed that he ended up writing many lines for the film, which he believes should never have started production without sufficient writing. Craig acknowledged that while there were impressive stunt sequences, the storytelling ultimately fell short. He emphasized that beginning a movie without a script is a significant lesson learned. Additionally, Craig shared his initial reluctance to take on the Bond role over fears it would limit his opportunities in the industry. He has since moved on to more experimental projects, including his upcoming role in Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Burroughs' Queer.
