Daniel Craig criticizes James Bond film as a ‘nightmare’ with zero storytelling

nypost.com:

The Hollywood Reporter that “Quantum of Solace” was a “difficult second album” due to the writer’s strike, multiple filming locations, and lack of consistent storytelling.“F—ing nightmare.

Paul Haggis did a pass on the script, then he went off and joined a picket line, and we didn’t have writers, so we didn’t have a script,” he remembered. “We probably should never have gone and started production, but we did. “I ended up writing a lot of that film — I probably shouldn’t really say, and I do not want a credit, it’s fine — but we were in that state because that’s what we’re allowed to do.

I was allowed to work.” He added, “Under WGA rules we were allowed to work with a director and write scenes. But there’s some amazing stunt sequences in that, and I’m still bearing the pins to prove it, so in that sense there’s a lot of great stuff in it, but it just didn’t quite work.

The storytelling wasn’t there. And that’s the abject lesson: going to start a movie without a script, it’s just… not a good idea.”Craig grew up wanting to play the beloved spy, but had no idea his dream would come to fruition.
