No Time to Drive! Daniel Craig returns to his 007 roots as he joins George Clooney at launch party for James Bond’s beloved Aston Martin in Venice

No Time to Drive! Daniel Craig returns to his 007 roots as he joins George Clooney at launch party for James Bond's beloved Aston Martin in Venice

As a seasoned film enthusiast who has seen The Red Shoes more times than I can count, I must admit that my taste in cinema is quite eclectic and unconventional. And while I appreciate the artistry of George Clooney’s performances, I have to say that his latest film, Wolfs, left me a little underwhelmed.


I’m deeply concerned and George Clooney were both alive at different times.

And during their stay, Daniel, 56, got a chance to flex his 007 muscles again, as he attended the event for James Bond’s most beloved sports car brand.

In the 2021 movie “No Time to Die,” where the actor ended his run with the British spy series, he appeared as usual handsome, donning a stylish grey linen jacket paired with white pants.

I’m deeply concerned about the quality of your life and the level of commitment of your life.

Additionally, he persisted with his long, untamed golden locks, a style he chose for the upcoming movie “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” production of which started in June.

While George, 63, opted for an all-black ensemble instead, looking dapper in a classic smart suit and plain T-shirt, as he caught up with Daniel.

The Aston Martin was once described as ‘the most famous car in the world’ thanks to its association with James Bond, first being driven by Sean Connery in 1964’s Goldfinger.

In the course of his career as the famous spy, Daniel operated several Aston Martins. His initial drive was in Casino Royale (2006), and he continued until 2021, with the DB5 taking center stage in No Time To Die, featuring its most significant action scene since it first appeared.

On Tuesday evening, the leading actor from Munich will grace the red carpet alongside his spouse, Rachel Weisz, at the premiere of their eagerly awaited movie titled “Queer.”

He’s been highly anticipated to receive his initial Oscar nomination, recognition for his compelling performance as an American expat and former war veteran named William Lee in the graphic, same-sex themed movie.

Under the direction of Luca Guadagnino, the film titled “Queer” is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novella by William Burroughs. It chronicles the romantic journey between William and Eugene Allerton, a younger man with a history of drug addiction and military discharge from the Navy.

In the movie, at first, Drew Starkey’s character, Eugene, turns down Lee’s affections, but later changes his mind.

Initial reviews suggest moviegoers will be left shocked by the explicit nature of some of the key moments in the movie, with one particularly talked about scene seeing Daniel performing oral sex on Drew’s Eugene.

A source told the Daily Mail reported: ‘It’s a long way from Bond, and very explicit. Craig is brilliant in the film.’ 

Venice Film Festival boss Alberto Barbera said he believes Daniel has given ‘the performance of a lifetime’ in Queer, and added he’d be surprised if we don’t see the British actor at the Academy Awards next year.

Alberto also confirmed to a journalist that Daniel had ‘a couple of sex scenes that are quite full-on’.

While acclaimed director Luca commented: ‘Queer will be my most personal film. It’s a tribute to Powell and Pressburger.

‘I’ve seen The Red Shoes at least 50 times and I think they would appreciate the sex scenes in Queer, which are numerous and quite scandalous.’ 

Meanwhile, George bid goodbye to the Film Festival on Tuesday alongside his gorgeous wife Amal, 46.

On Sunday, after the premiere of George’s latest movie “Wolfs,” both the actor and the human rights attorney were spotted getting onto a water taxi headed for the airport.

The film follows George and Brad Pitt as they are forced to begrudgingly work together to ‘fix’ a problem that arises when a tough-on-crime DA wakes up with a dead 20-something with whom she was having a one-night stand. 

The highly anticipated Apple TV+ movie with a budget of $200 million is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on September 20. However, it has received harsh criticism from reviewers who labeled it as a disorganized flop, calling it a one-star debacle and an unbearably humorous disaster.

According to an article by Robbie Collin for The Telegraph, George Clooney has voiced his frustration over Quentin Tarantino not regarding him as a leading film actor. If Clooney continues to produce movies like the one he’s currently working on, it won’t be long before Tarantino’s perception is validated.

Instead of saying “While, IGN’s Siddhant Adlakha criticized the movie as a ‘slick student film from a wealthy teenager who’s been nourished by an early diet of Guy Ritchie’s works,” you could paraphrase it as “IGN’s Siddhant Adlakha described the film as a ‘polished college project made by a rich teenager who grew up on early Guy Ritchie movies.'” This version maintains the original meaning while sounding more natural and easy to read.

He and the other critics added that director Jon Watts seemed to have banked on George and Brad’s star-status to make it a box office hit, with a lackluster plot and a ‘half-baked script with little humor or heart.’
