THE LOST ART OF INTERROGATION - Daniel Kleinman Interview

What was the first James Bond film were Daniel Kleinman worked in? If you answered GOLDENEYE, you're wrong! It was LICENCE TO KILL. Actually, he didn't worked in the film per se, but in the music video for Gladys Knight's song for Timothy Dalton's swan song as 007 in 1989.

Kleinman was hored to design the opening credits for GOLDENEYE after his work on Gladys Knight music video for the 1989 Bond film LICENCE TO KILL, starring Timothy Dalton.

He continued his association with 007 with TOMORROW NEVER DIES, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, DIE ANOTHER DAY and Daniel Craig's debut as a rebooted James Bond, CASINO ROYALE. 

When Marc Forster took the helm of the 22nd James Bond film, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, he hired his usual main title designers, MK12, who worked in other Forsters productions like STRANGER THAN FICTION and THE KITE RUNNER.

I WAS ALWAYS BETTER! - Campbell slams Marc Forster

Martin Campbell, director of GOLDENEYE and CASINO ROYALE, didn't blink an eye before criticizing Marc Forster's QUANTUM OF SOLACE, the last film in the Bond series, that had a lukewarm recepcion by historic Bond fans in 2008.

When asked by CraveOnline about the 22nd Bond film during the press rounds of his latest project, THE GREEN LANTERN, the New Zealand born director said the film was "lousy."

"I just thought the story was pretty uninteresting. I didn't think the action was related to the characters. I just thought overall it was a bit of a mess really", said Campbell, who also backed Sam Mendes choice to direct the 23rd Bond film starring Daniel Craig, and set to release on October 26th, 2012.
