The Daniel Craig Forum

As a major Steve McQueen fan, I think Daniel is the ONLY choice to play him. Nobody else could do it. Daniel has a similar look, a similar coolness -- aloofness, even -- and the same kind of elusive charisma that made McQueen so devastatingly sexy. It is high praise indeed that Steve's widow has end...

Ashlee, did you ever know that you're my hero? And *cough something something I can't remember the lyrics* the wind beneath my wings?

Thanks so much for posting this! I never would have gotten to read it without you. And it was a terrific article.

I think the Madeleine McCann case must strike close to the heart of any parent. There but for the grace of God, you know?

A few days after getting my CR DVD, I watched TTCA and it hit me how much DC resembles SM. They are even the exact same height! I think it was particularly noticeable for me in that movie because SM is suave and elegant and dressed in beautiful suits, just like DC in CR. For me it was Daniel in &qu...

I was just visiting with some girlfriends and the subject of movies came up. One of my friends, who knows I'm a Steve McQueen fan, asked me if I'd seen "Casino Royale." Why yes I have, I told her. ;) "Doesn't that actor remind you so much of Steve McQueen?" she said. It really is...

Loofah, I was reading last night that the Sand Pebbles has been digitally restored and it's gonna come out in June as a 2-disc set in widescreen format in region 1. The 2nd DVD contains interviews and commentaries and a section titled "Steve McQueen Remembered." I am so excited about this...

Thanks for the news about Eric Bana, he is one of my favorites and I am happy to hear he is alright. Mine too. Aside from the obivous importance and gravity of "Munich," between Daniel and Eric there was so much pretty on the screen I hardly knew where to look. ;) Hmmm...That is a lovely ...

Good point about the motorcycle riding; and it was all Steve in The Great Escape , as far as I know. You can correct me if I am wrong, Loofah. :D According to the biography you'll soon be reading ;), it was all him except for the big jump, which the insurance company understandably wouldn't let him...

Just to clarify the circumstances of Terry McQueen's death, she was not alcoholic. Rather she had a transplant as a result of hemochromatosis, a condition in which the body produces too much iron, destroying the liver. Very sad, as she was very young and left behind a young child. The thought crosse...

Fantastic that you ordered the book, Marisa! I can't wait to compare notes with you. The whole thing is juicy. It is definitely a light read -- i.e., it's not exactly taxing my brain :lol: -- but it's also not sleazy. Spiegel did her homework and interviewed people who truly were close to McQueen. I...

Thanks for the link, Marisa! That's a really good, thorough site. :) Quite a departure at the time from his usual roles. They have such chemistry on screen and feed off each other wonderfully. I love Natalie Wood (Splendor in The Grass is one of my all time favorites!). I agree it was a surprising c...

I am not sure, but I think it is titled "The King of Cool." I have a feeling is the same one. Many people that were close to him in one capacity or another were interviewed for that documentary. TMC also has Man on the Edge and Steve Mcqueen:True Hollywood Story , they are both SM biograp...

I have not read his bio, but TMC had a marvelous documentary of his life Was that by chance the "Essence of Cool" documentary that was included as an extra on the special edition "Bullitt" DVD? Otherwise, I haven't seen it and I'd like to! He had a very mischievous side to him, ...

I agree, not at this point in his career. Particularly after what he's done for the Bond franchise, he's pretty well got pick of the litter. 8) SM was all those things you mentioned, but he was also extremely talented and charismatic. I love watching his movies. When he was in a scene he stole the ...

And it would probably be right up DC's alley since SM was a tortured soul, just the kind of challenge DC enjoys. Indeed McQueen was a miserable fellow and all the success and money and toys and women never filled the void he felt from having been abandoned as a child. I'm reading a biography of him...
