The British actor revealed to his director Jon Favreau that he believes reuniting with his Road to Perdition director will result in a "classic" 007 movie.

"I think it's a great choice because Sam has a fervour and energy to really direct a Bond movie, with a capital B," Craig said.

"He'll feet-first run himself into it, [he's] read every book and just soaked up everything about it. I read the script the other day and I'm more excited about this than I was about Casino because we've kind of got a classic Bond movie plus lots of other things."

Asked if a "classic" Bond meant a return for Q, Craig suggested that the new movie would continue to be light on gadgets.

"Trying to find something that's new and interesting is really difficult... Mostly, the technology is in the public arena now or some type of it," he commented.

Daniel Craig's third outing as James Bond, following on from and will be released on October 26, 2012
