Daniel Craig has hit out at fans claiming the 25th James Bond film No Time To Die ‘is cursed’.
Craig said he gets ‘pissed off’ every time he hears it.
Since the very start of the latest Bond’s production, the film has been marred by setbacks.
First, the original director Danny Boyle walked away from the film citing creative differences with produce Barbara Broccoli.
Then the movie’s release was pushed back and has since been pushed back again from April to November due to the coronavirus (and it’s not the only Hollywood film to be affected by COVID-19).
During filming, Craig injured his ankle, and another crew member was injured during an on-set explosion.
All of that doesn’t sit very well with Daniel Craig, who has said the very mention of it “pisses me off”.
“Because I’m just like, ‘Don’t curse our movie’. And also, we’re doing our best here.”
Still, at least the world’s most-serious Bond has a funny side. Craig recently joked about the film’s release date being postponed on Saturday Night Life, saying that he would give audiences a ‘sneak peek’ at a new scene to tide them over until November.
Except, the scene wasn’t exactly what Bond fans would have hoped for.
No Time To Die is currently slated to arrive in UAE cinemas on November 12.
