'Solace' director: 'Craig convinced me'

Rex Features

Quantum Of Solace director Marc Forster has revealed that Daniel Craig convinced him to helm the latest James Bond film.

The film-maker had initially turned down the project, claiming he was nervous he would be sucked into the corporate Bond "machine".

However, he changed his mind after meeting up with 007 actor Craig. "I thought: 'He's really real. There's no bulls**t.' I felt like I wanted to work with this guy. The next thing I knew I was on a plane."

Quantum Of Solace is released in the UK on October 31.
