James Bond star almost quit as 007

In a recent interview, James Bond star Daniel Craig admitted he almost quit as James Bond. The actor who also stars in the remake of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ says he considered walking away due to lengthy delays due to MGM suffering from financial problems.

However fortunes changed for both MGM and Daniel Craig as he has now restarted work on Bond 23 ‘Skyfall’ with director Sam Mendes. He said “There was that long period where Bond maybe wasn’t happening. I’d got it into my head that if it went another two years on top of the two-year gap we’d already had, then they should probably find someone else. And I should think about getting on with things.

However, Craig also said he had “no desire to escape the role” now and said that Bond fans awaiting the release of Skyfall will be in for a real spectacular.

James Bond: back to Scotland or going to Wales?

The film shoot for new James Bond movie Skyfall was supposed to start, in February, at Duntrune Castle near Lochgilphead in Argyll. However, it is now going to take place in Wales.

Robin Malcolm, owner of Duntrune Castle, thinks Scotland will lose out with the change. The idea was to bring Bond back to his Scottish roots but Director Sam Mendes changed his mind and is said to be looking at desolate locations with a few mountains that can be found in Wales as well.

The interest towards Duntrune Castle as a filming location has increased even with Skyfall being filmed in Wales. This Castle was at some point the place chosen for the new James Bond movie.
