DANIEL Craig says heavily criticized Bond film Quantum Of Solace fell short because the script wasn’t ready when filming started – and he ended up writing a large part of the film.
The film was Craig’s second appearance as 007 after Casino Royale, and the script was delayed due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

Craig said: “Difficult second album — a fucking nightmare.
“Paul Haggis submitted the script.
“Then he left and joined the column, and we had no writers.
“We should never have started production.

“I ended up writing a lot of the movie, which I probably shouldn’t say.”
He added on the Awards Chatter podcast: “It has some amazing stunt sequences in it, but it just didn’t quite work.
“The storytelling wasn’t there.
“It’s a lesson – starting a movie without a script is not a good idea.”
The film was affected by the WGA strike that lasted from November 2007 to February 2008.
It starred Olga Kurylenko as Camille, Judi Dench as M and Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields.
