Daniel Craig has said that he is excited to be working on the upcoming James Bond film Skyfall with director Sam Mendes.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star also revealed that he was able to have more input on the forthcoming film.
In an interview with Time Out magazine, Craig said of Mendes: "He's lived with Bond all his life, he grew up with Bond the way I did.
"I said to him, 'We have to do this together, we have exactly the same reference points, we both like the same Bond movies and we both like the same bits in the same Bond movies we like'."
Craig continued: "We sat down and we just rabbited for hours about Live and Let Die or From Russia with Love, and talked about little scenes that we knew from them.
"That's how we started talking about it. That's what we tried to instil in the script. He's been working his arse off to tie all these things together so they make sense - in a Bond way."
