Interestingly, the actor also admits that before being Frankenstein-ed on the fly, Quantum of Solace was much less of a direct sequel to Casino Royale.
Daniel Craig has previously admitted the absence of professional writers left himself and Forster reworking the story in-between takes - a predicament he acknowledges was far from ideal. Quantum of Solace was forced to commence filming with a script that was both inflexible and unpolished, and that backstage chaos tells in the finished product. Production had the misfortune of coinciding directly with the 2007 Writers Guild strike and while an initial script had just about been completed, Forster was unable to make any subsequent changes or rewrites, at least not using actual writers. The backbone of Quantum of Solace's lackluster reception isn't entirely the film's own fault.
