Daniel Craig bows out.After fifteen years and five tuxedo films, the 53 -year -old star last time is James Bond's costume in "Die can wait", in theaters since Wednesday, October 6.What will we remember from the James Bond from the Craig era?How did the British actor manage to modernize the franchise?Invited at the microphone of Laurie Cholewa in the program "Clap!", Guillaume Evin and Laurent Pierrot, experts from the saga, take stock of the years Craig.With already a little suspicion of nostalgia...

Daniel Craig, the unloved of the saga

"Die can wait" marks the end of a cycle, that of Daniel Craig in the skin of the famous spy.If fans of the saga today cry the legendary interpreter of 007, the British actor was far from being unanimous in 2005, when he was chosen to be the new James Bond.Guillaume Evin was also very skeptical."I did not want to ston it as other people had done," he said."But it is true that he did not correspond to the morphotype.We were all used to a big brown.And then there, we discovered a medium -sized man, muscular, blonde.He had a Soviet Nervi head to be broken from the credits ".A feeling shared by Laurent Pierrot: "I found that this guy absolutely did not look like the character.He had more the head of a Russian killer than James Bond ".A hypothetical young Vladimir Putin who catalyzed a flood of insults."James Blond" had even become his nickname.

From disenchantment to success with "Casino Royale"

It will suffice for the release of "Casino Royale", in 2006, to silence all skeptics.Masterful in James Bond's skin, Daniel Craig shows the world that he is in his place."He's going to take everything, I was amazed," says Guillaume Evin."We judged it before we saw anything.And he was a very good James Bond, "said Laurent Pierrot.But how did the British actor manage to win?What made the difference?

According to Guillaume Evin, Daniel Craig brought a lot to the role, "like all his predecessors".But he knew how to stand out thanks to his "magnetism" and his "density"."It corresponds perfectly to his time, dark and serious", underlines the expert of the saga.For his acolyte Laurent Perriot, Daniel Craig was used for the renewal of the franchise, who was in the process of being refreshing.Even Roger Moore, the predecessor of Daniel Craig, had estimated that the world card of "Casino Royale" was going to "relaunch the franchise for fifty years".And he was not wrong: "Skyfall", in 2012, became the largest blockbuster in the saga with more than 1.1 billion revenues.It remains to be seen if "dying can wait" will be the same success.

Craig gave a human face to Bond

"Craig withdraws at the right time," said Laurent Pierrot in the columns of "Figaro"."The assessment is generally positive.With this fifth film, Eon Productions closes a cycle.They close the CRAIG Book.In the future, we imagine that they will be able to return to the initial formula, a film, an adventure, which would correspond to the novels of Ian Fleming."Daniel Craig will have finally given a human face to James Bond, his cinematic alter ego.Finding a successor who will arrive at the ankle will be undeniably difficult.James Norton, Tom Hardy, Régee-Jean Page, Idris Elba or Luke Evans are already among the tuxedo contenders.And you, who would you see in 007?
