Actor Daniel Craig is keeping his fingers crossed as two major releases starring him in lead roles are scheduled for simultaneous release this Friday.
Apart from playing 007, the legendary spy in Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace,' Craig also stars as an actor in British drama 'Flashbacks of a Fool (FOF),' which has been written for him and is also Craig's debut as an Executive Producer. Both films have entirely different themes.
Ahead of the film's release in India Craig says, "Yes this is my first foray into producing. It's a gentle way in and I've been very closely connected to the project, which is the way I like to work. My heart has to be in my work, or it doesn't make a great deal of sense to me."
Flashbacks... marks also the feature debut of writer- director Baillie Walsh who says he wrote the script only for Craig. Says Walsh, "Actually, I wrote the script for Daniel Craig, who is my friend. We have gone on a creative adventure together and it has been so exciting".
The plot is about a 40 plus Hollywood actor whose hedonistic lifestyle of sex and drugs leads him to a direction less life. Only when confronted by tragedy is he forced to face up to the ghosts of his past. Various events in the flashback, set in 1970's England lay the foundations for the Hollywood dream he goes on to experience including his budding sexuality, his boyhood camaraderie, the untoward advances of a voluptuous older woman, and his teenage actions which lead to unforeseen, tragic consequences.
