MovieChat Forums > Sgt. Rock Discussion > Daniel Craig drops out of lead role

Reasons for Craig’s departure remain unclear. Some said the actor’s schedule ran into roadblocks with that of his wife, actress Rachel Weisz. Other sources said that the actor soured on the role after Queer failed to perform not only at the box office but also in the awards season race.

Sounds like he's annoyed at Queer (no oscar noms),

“No one celebrated me playing a guy who loves sex with other men so they obviously won’t watch me playing a rough, tough soldier battling Nazis in WWII in a big budget action film.”

LMAO. Dude thought he was slick taking a gay role for some oscar buzz and now he's throwing a fit because it didn't work out?

Honestly?? Who asked for this much less does today's Generation even know who Sgt Rock is without googling it??

It seemed odd to me, Craig doing a CBM. No doubt he'd have been good, but I'm sure they'll find someone who could do it at least as well.
