Daniel Craig moves into Sheridan’s ‘Dream House’

There was a stretch of films way before Bond, we are talking about 2003 to 04, where Daniel Craig really flexed his acting muscles. Since The Mother, Sylvia, Enduring Love and Layer Cake, the Brit has for the most part been stuck in studio flicks. Now that Craig has paid off the multiple mortgages, he might be climbing aboard Dream House – a project that still sticks to the commercially viable sort but has an Oscar-winning director in the driver’s seat in Jim Sheridan.

Originally set up a couple of years back with Erik Van Looy (The Memory of a Killer) and recently switched to Sheridan, Craig would play a man moving his family into what first appears to be an ideal country residence, followed by a series of ominous occurrences. David Loucka wrote the screenplay.  Craig just completed his stint on The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, which so far would be the only role we see him in for 2010.

Do you wish that Craig could try to include/branch out into difficult roles that are not as obvious? Did you appreciate his perfs in Infamous, The Mother and Sylvia?
