Marc Forster Will Not Return For “Bond 23″
Quantum of Solace director Marc Foster will not be returning for the 23rd film in the James Bond series.
Actually, Marc Forster has revealed that Daniel Craig convinced him to helm the latest James Bond film. The film-maker had initially turned down the project, claiming he was nervous he would be sucked into the corporate Bond “machine”.
However, he changed his mind after meeting up with 007 Craig.
“I thought: ‘He’s really real. There’s no bulls**t.’ I felt like I wanted to work with this guy. The next thing I knew I was on a plane.”
Forster says he was offered the next one, but declined because he prefers a balance of films.
“They offered me the next one, but at this point the pressure is so intense – it’s a year of not having a life. And I don’t know if I want to do that again. It’s literally not having a life, and I mean that, it’s not exaggerated. I feel like life is short, you have to find a balance.”
Although Forster made that statement when asked about returning for another Bond movie, his experience on Quantum of Solace was certainly fantastic.
If that disappoints you, then you won’t certainly like the rumors going around claiming that Daniel Craig is thinking about not returning as Bond as well. The actor supposedly won’t make a decision until he sees how well Quantum of Solace does.
“Quantum Of Solace” will hit domestic theaters on November 14th 2008.

Daniel Craig Offered, But Declined, Lead Role In “Thor”
Daniel Craig has been indeed considered to be the leading man in “Thor“.
Craig, Olga Kurylenko and director Mark Forster attending the press day in Beverly Hills on Monday, October 20, for the 22nd Bond film “Quantum of Solace“. IESB’s Robert Sanchez talked with both Olga and Daniel, who actually had a bit to say about another widely known hero, Thor, who is currently set up over at Marvel for a 2010 release with Kenneth Branagh attached to direct.
IESB asked if Craig was interested in doing something a little different character-wise, like Thor? Craig said no, he turned it down and laughed about it.
Sanchez continued, “seriously, I heard the folks over at Marvel had you on a short list to be Thor.”
Craig said yes they [Marvel] did approach him but he turned it down. He added jokingly, it would have been too much of a power trip, both Bond and Thor, and running around with long hair and a hammer.
So far, “Thor” has been linked to many actors from wrestler-turned-actor Triple H to Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. However, up to date, there is yet real indication on who will tackle the part. The search for Thor continues! [source: IESB]
Quantum of Solace Two New Clips
Two new clips from “Quantum of Solace” are online. Check out a scene in the first clip where James Bond (Daniel Craig) meets Agent Fields (Gemma Arterton) for the first time. The second clip is titled “Get Rid Of Him.”
Daniel Craig Cautious About Future as James Bond 007
Speaking to Playboy magazine, actor Daniel Craig has revealed that despite the fact that he signed a contract for a total of four James Bond films, he is not sure that he will return for the third installment. Craig said that where he goes from here depends on “Quantum of Solace.”
“I did sign on for four so a piece of paper says there are two more to do,” he commented. “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.”
Re-reading Ian Fleming’s James Bond books made movie hunk Daniel Craig broody and miserable – and that was a good thing. The British stud, who first played 007 in Casino Royale, is back for more Bond in new film Quantum of Solace – and he wanted to portray the darker side of the suave superspy.
Craig recalled reading the books when he was younger and finding Bond a workaholic depressive – and that’s the character he wanted to channel in the latest adventure. Continue Reading…
Quantum Of Solace Third Clip
The excerpt from “Quantum of Solace” shows a scene from the film in which Daniel Craig’s Bond stalks the film’s principal villains.
The members of mysterious organisation Quantum, led by Mathieu Amalric’s businessman Dominic Greene, have chosen an outdoor production of Tosca for a secret meeting. Bond steals one of the earpieces which they are using to communicate.
The sequence was shot at the floating opera stage at Bregenz, Austria. The set for the production of Puccini’s opera, which serves as the backdrop to the action, features a gigantic moving eye.
“I just loved the location, and I think the eye just has a great metaphor for Bond. And I liked that it was ‘Tosca’.And Puccini’s opera is also a metaphor of what is going on as well. I thought the whole thing was convenient,” said director Marc Forster.
“The Soloist” And “Defiance” Moved To 2009
Paramount Picture is moving “The Soloist” starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. from November 21, 2008 to March 13, 2009. So, the movie is without any hope for Academy Awards 2008.
TV spots for “The Soloist” have already aired nationally and trailers had been placed in front of “Eagle Eye.”
“We decided it’s a commercial movie that will play well in the spring, and we’ll give it an aggressive wide release then,” Paramount Pictures vice chairman Rob Moore said.
Studio also moved Edward Zwick’s “Defiance,” starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber, to a 2009 wide release. The film, which was scheduled to open December 12, 2008 will be released on January 16, 2009.
In its old date, “Defiance” would have gone up against “Doubt,” “The Reader” and “Frost/Nixon.”
“The Soloist” was set to open wide in a very crowded frame – “Twilight” and “Bolt.”
Paramount is clearly throwing its Oscar campaign money at Sam Mendes‘ “Revolutionary Road” starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, David Fincher’s “The Curious Life of Benjamin Button” starring Brad Pitt and Ben Stiller’s comedy “Tropic Thunder” with Robert Downey’s supporting performance in the movie.
