Too bad, if true. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Bond. I believe he showed the character’s deep-seated suicidal pathos.
Craig's portrayal of Bond has been closest to the way Ian Fleming wrote the character (and closest in looks to the way he envisioned him as well).
The charisma and humour of the Sean Connery flicks has their place, but the Bond of the books is not a bon vivant. He is a hard man who kills for a living and indulges in sex, alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling in between missions because he's bored.
There's a long section in Live and Let Die (I think) where Bond is on a plane over the Atlantic, and he spends the entire time contemplating the fact that the airplane is an fallible invention and the only reason it doesn't drop into the ocean is that it is maintained by fallible people, and overall living is just cheating death. It's a great literary moment, but it's also a great insight into Bond's character. He's a nihilist. Daniel Craig's brooding Bond is right in line with that.
