Daniel Craig will be honored at Montclair Film Festival – New Jersey 101.5 FM

Considering he said he was glad to be rid of the role, Im sure actor Daniel Craig doesnt appreciate his name being linked to the character of James Bond, but its what catapulted him to stardom so Im going to do it.

Daniel Craig, best known for playing secret agent James Bond, will be honored at the Montclair Film Festival and his latest film will open the festival at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair.

Craigs new film Glass Onion: a Knives Out Mystery, described by the festivals website:

In this follow up to KNIVES OUT, Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects, featuring Edward Norton, Janelle Mone, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista. Written and Directed by Rian Johnson, GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY will release globally on Netflix on December 23.

Craig will be interviewed on stage by Stephen Colbert (theyre calling it a conversation not an interview), the late-night host whose wife is the president of the festivals board of trustees.

We are thrilled to honor Daniel Craig at the Montclair Film Festival with our 2022 Tribute, and to share his work in Rian Johnsons uproarious new thriller Glass Onion on opening night, Tom Hall, co-head and artistic director of Montclair Film, said in a statement.
