[Barbara] Broccoli insists it was his [Daniel Craig’s] performance as Jesuit priest John Ballard in Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 period drama “Elizabeth” that convinced her Craig was the one. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, he’s the guy,’ when he was in Elizabeth, walking down that corridor. I know that sounds crazy, but that was the moment I felt it in my gut. When your whole life is James Bond, some part of you is always looking for, ‘Who could play the role? Daniel just eats up the screen. He’s truly a remarkable actor.”
Barbara Broccoli on what first made her think Daniel Craig could play James Bond in “Being Bond” (p. 28-30)

"Hi, I'm Emily Blunt."
"Hello, I'm Cillian Murphy."
"Hi, I'm Matt Damon."
"And we're here with - and we're here with The Hollywood Reporter, talking about our Hollywood firsts."
"It could have been Star Wars because I'm a Star Wars kid but - "
"But everyone's a Star Wars kid."
"Yeah."
"I know, but it's the first time that like, because I was seven - "
"Yeah."
" - it came out in 77, I was pre; in the summer I was probably six. It was the first time that I ever went and got completely captured by a movie experience where, where I was taken to some other place that I didn't; and I just thought it was amazing and I wanted to be Luke and Han Solo. I wanted to be all those guys, and so I went home and immediately started dressing up like them and playing like them and, you know -"
"Well the - one of the first films I remember watching was 'Old Yeller.' Did you guys ever see that movie?"
"Yeah."
"And I remember being just like, destroyed by it, and wanting to do a movie with a dog."
"The first audition I went on was for 'The Four Feathers', that Shekhar Kapur directed."
"Oh my god, really? Yeah?"
"Yes."
"Heath did it."
"Heath did it. And I ended up doing the table read for him, even though I knew I wasn't going to get the part, but I was like 17 and at a table read with Heath Ledger and I was like: 'Oh my God.'"
"Oh, the first audition I did was for a, for a play in Cork called 'Disco Pigs' and - "
"And you got it."
"Yeah, and I'd never done anything before in my life; it was my first professional gig."
"Actors love hearing that story - my first audition, I booked."
"Nailed it."
"And nailed it."
"Yeah, but you know that, you know that confidence of youth where you just -"
"Yeah, you don't think about it."
" - you don't know anything so - "
"Yeah."
"The first big Hollywood paycheck I got in my mind was I got twenty-five thousand dollars for doing a mo - a TV movie called 'Rising Sun'. And, I bought my brother a car and I put my mum through her PhD program and that, that was a really cool feeling."
"I think I bought like a, a record player and, or a sound system. No, because it; record players weren't, they weren't as cool as they are now, were they?"
"Yeah. I feel like I moved out. Like, I think that was the first; I got, I rented an apartment. I feel like that was the first - like, being able to not live with my parents."
"I know mine is a - this animated movie called 'Spirit.' It was the first movie that - and that, that was a good one for the kids."
"Yeah."
"I think that's like the only movie they've seen."
"They saw 'Mary Poppins' - was the first one I think."
"Come on."
"Yeah. I think I put it on and walked away - "
"Yeah."
" - but then I think it's strange for your children to watch you. Like, they have - it's like you really are somebody else and it's disconcerting for them. And it was disconcerting for my kids, because especially with 'Poppins', it's like a - I look different, I had this like wig on, I sound different."
"Well they kind of know you at a soul level - "
"Yeah."
" - and so to see you as something that you, they know you're not - "
"Is strange for them."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Do - do your boys find it strange really?"
"Yeah but, but they're very underwhelmed. You know, they're very unimpressed."
"Suitably underwhelmed, unimpressed."
"They're big Peaky Blinders fans."
"No, they've never seen Peaky Blinders."
"They've never seen it?"
"No. I think they mi -they watched the, the Batman movies - "
"Yeah."
" - when they were old enough. But most of my stuff is highly unsuitable."
"I met Cillian; John and I went to see Cillian's play before we did Quiet Place II together - "
"Yeah."
"I mean, we were so desperate to work with him obviously but - and then when we did Quiet Place II, we were; we were like thick as thieves, quickly."
"It was good fun."
"And it was so great for us then having this kind of shared experience, this shared history, to go be thrust into like a married couple and - "
"I think you get something for free when you work with people that you've worked with already - "
"Yeah."
" - and you've gotten on with; it - it just kind of transfers onto the screen - particularly if you're playing a couple with history. We didn't meet till - "
"No, till this."
" - till Oppenheimer."
"No, till this."
"Yeah."
"But you guys - "
"Till this interview, yeah."
"Matt, Matt doesn't do off-camera; I didn't know if that was public knowledge but - "
"And I don't want other actors around when I'm on camera. Yeah. we met for the audition for Adjustment Bureau."
"In like, 2009?"
"Yeah."
"We've known each other for far too long. Matt lives in my building so I - I'm actually not used to seeing you in regular shoes; I only see you in slippers - it's very strange."
"When we come down for dinner I just wear slippers."
"I haven't seen him in shoes for a couple of years I think."
"It's true."
"I found it so emotional. I remember Chris coming in and it was a staggering script. And visceral and captivating like - the trauma of living with a brain like that was so palpable in the script, and I was so scared I wouldn't understand it."
"It was really overwhelming - "
"Yeah."
" - and, and it was the first script I've ever read, or ever even heard of that was written in the first person."
"Yeah."
"So, it's - Oppenheimer is using 'I' - I'm doing this and I'm doing that, I'm now walking over here, I'm not; and it's like: 'Oh my God.' And so by the end of the script I just; I was totally overwhelmed. And I kind of offended Chris because he came over and I, I - and he said: "What do you think?", and I just kind of blurted out: "I have no notes." Which was, to me, the greatest thing you could say to another writer. You just go like: "Look, look man, I have, I have nothing to say - this is amazing." But, but when Emily met with him like, like a week later, she was very effusive in her praise and very articulate, and he was like: "Well it's better than I got from him. I just got 'He had no notes.'"
"No notes, yeah. Chris was like: "That's a lot better than Damon's reaction to it."
"I think it may have been like, one of the best scripts I've ever read. For -"
"Yeah."
"For sure."
"Yeah."
"And the scope of it and the ambition of it; this, the, the - "
"The ambition of it. The book is so dense and there's so much history, and he's kind of woven all of it into this; it's like every frame of the movie is so dense and rich and packed."
"How was it for you, reading it in the first person?"
"Exhilarating. You know, because it's completely subjective, you know?"
"Yeah."
"And that's what he, he intended to do with the movie was make a lot of it through Oppenheimer's eyes and experience it as, as Oppenheimer was - was experiencing it."
"Thank you for enduring our Hollywood firsts."

What's Love Got To Do With It? (12): Can you GUESS how it will end?
#onemannsmovies review of "What's Love Got To Do With It?" (2023). #WhatsLoveMovie. Fun an undemanding multi-cultural RomCom. 3.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” (2023). Man, oh, man. It’s been a heavy few weeks of watching award candidate films. Many are very very long. Many, particularly this year, have covered topics of depression and mental health. So. it’s a nice detox to watch a romcom like “What’s Love Got To Do With It?”. Bob the Movie Man Rating(s): Plot Summary: Zoe (Lily James)…
