Daniel Craig’s James Bond New School of Cool
The meaning of Hollywood cool is being rewritten by Daniel Craig. Take the DNA of Steve McQueen and Sean Connery and you have Craig. The man is evolving cool with every film.
When I saw these pictures on MI6 I immediately of Craig as Mr. X in Layer Cake – smooth, in control, wears a suit like a weapon no matter how fast he’s running through London.
Director Sam Mendes, Craig and the Skyfall crew is filming in Tower Hall gunning for a cab and bearing his iconic gun. Team Skyfall is also filming at the famous Vauxhall Bridge that goes over the Thames and the cinematic home of MI6.

James Bond Actor Breakdown
James Bond is a family tradition and a family business. My dad took me to my first 007 movies as a kid and we could always reflect on our favorite moments as we both got older.
007 Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are continuing the legacy of their dad, Albert R. Broccoli. After the first official Skyfall set photo was revealed Wilson talked about the men who’ve played Bond over the years and how team Skyfall is bringing back elements that made the 007 adventures of the 60’s and 70’s such hits.
“Sean was a tough guy; he set the tone,” Wilson said. “[Roger] played it more comic. Roger was lighthearted. Timothy brought it down to earth and Pierce brought a touch of charm and touchiness.”
“[Daniel] is a great actor who takes it back to the Sean days,” Wilson said.
Did you notice no mention of George Lazenby who played Bond once in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service? I think that performance and film never gets the praise it deserves.
In an earlier story, Daniel Craig referenced From Russia, With Love and Live and Let Die as influential Bond films he enjoyed.
Thanks to MI6 for the story.
