'It's horribly graphic': Daniel Craig reveals R-rated scenes in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo made his jaw drop
Last updated at 1:19 PM on 8th July 2011
Daniel Craig has admitted that he was so shocked seeing violent scenes in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that it made his jaw drop.
The star - who recently stunned friends by secretly marrying Rachel Weisz - insists movie fans are in for a shock with the violence and adult material in the eagerly-awaited blockbuster.
'It's as adult as you can possibly make it,' Craig warns.
The original Swedish adaptation of the best-selling novel featured incredibly graphic scenes, and it seems the Hollywood remake will follow suit.
'This is adult drama. I grew up, as we f***ing all did, watching The Godfather and that, movies that were made for adults.

'And this is a $100 million R-rated movie. Nobody makes those anymore.'
He also insists that David Fincher, who is directing the movie adaptation of Stieg Larsson's best selling thriller, is 'not holding back'.

'They've given him free rein,' he said.
'He recently showed me some scenes, and my hand was over my mouth, going, 'Are you f***ing serious?''
'It's not that he simply showed me footage that was horribly graphic - it was stuff that was happening, or had happened. And somehow you don't see it. There's more than one way to sense violence. Much more powerful ways than seeing it step-by-step.'

He said he had a very different experience making Steven Spielberg's animated version of Tintin, where he got to meet some of Hollywood's biggest names - while wearing a leotard.
'We shot it in mo-cap, which is like: F**k me, I'm literally in a leotard with a f***ing helmet on, and a camera strapped to it,' Craig said.
'It's Steven Spielberg, so every f***er in the world comes to visit. 'Fincher comes to visit. Clint f***ing Eastwood comes to visit.
'It was just like, are you kidding me? I'm gonna meet these people dressed like this? Playing a pirate, wearing a leotard and a camera? Really?'
He also insists he is looking forward to transforming into 007 again for his third Bond movie - mostly because Sam Mendes, who directed him in Road to Perdition in 2002, is in charge of it.

'Sam's gonna do it, Sam Mendes, and I'm really f***ing really lookin' forward to the fact that he's gonna do it,' he says.
Daniel made it clear to Esquire that just because becoming James Bond made him famous he is not about to open up about his private life.
He made no mention of Weisz - although he did take a call during his interview, telling the caller 'I love you' - nor much of his daughter.
'I don't really talk about her, because - well, she can't defend herself,' he said of his daughter, insisting she is 'fantastic'.
However, he did reveal: 'She's finishing her education, in the States. I said,
'Look, there's an opportunity here, you should take it.' I'm in that position, and I guess that's something that feels more than lucky. It feels essential.'
Daniel insists keeping quiet about his life 'has become my way'.
'Since I've become James Bond that means being something that people feel they own. And all of the sudden I'm getting magazine covers, when I got nothing for ten years before that.
'And doing covers, people interviewing me, and they want to know everything and I'm going, I'm not gonna f***ing tell you!'
