Daniel Craig Reflects on 'Quantum of Solace' as a Production 'Nightmare'

The actor cites the 2007-2008 writers' strike and lack of a script as key challenges during the making of his second James Bond film.

Daniel Craig described the production of 2008's 'Quantum of Solace' as a 'f**king nightmare,' largely due to the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
The absence of a completed script forced Craig to contribute to writing scenes, a situation he believes should have halted production entirely.
Despite notable stunt sequences, Craig acknowledged that the film's storytelling fell short, making it one of the least well-received Bond movies of his tenure.
Craig injured himself multiple times during filming and has expressed regret over publicly complaining about the physical toll at the time.
Reflecting on his Bond career, Craig also shared his reservations about the 'construct of masculinity' tied to the character and his sense of liberation since leaving the role.
