Tabloid claims Daniel Craig had a bash at rewriting SPECTRE script

Spectre (2015) - 03-07-15
Daily Mail columnist Sebastuan Shakespeare is claiming that James Bodn star Dnaiel Craig has resorted to re-writing some of the SPECTRE script on the fly again, after he was thrust in to helping out the 'Quantum of Solace' script (due to a writers strike in 2008).

"The script is still all over the place, to the extent that Daniel himself has had a bash at rewriting it," said his source. "It�s total creative turmoil."

Shakespeare adds: "Rumblings over the screenplay began last year when director Sam Mendes was said to have gone �down on his knees� to persuade former Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to revise John Logan�s tepid offering. Playwright Jez Butterworth was also later called in to add polish."

After 'Quantum of Solace' was released, Craig admitted: "We had the bare bones of a script and then there was a writers� strike. We couldn�t employ a writer to finish it. I say to myself: 'Never again.' But who knows? There was me trying to rewrite scenes � and a writer I am not."
