Daniel Craig 007 contract extended

Source: Mi6.co.uk

Daniel Craig According to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter, James Bond star Daniel Craig has extended his contract to play 007 for four new films following his record-breaking debut in "Casino Royale" (2006). MGM chairman and CEO Harry Sloan broke the news at the Forbes MEET II conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday, amongst a swath of other plans relating to the studio. Daniel Craig had previously stated that he had initially signed up to three Bond outings: Casino Royale (2006), Bond 22 (2008) and Bond 23 (TBA). Official details on the original deal were not revealed until Bond 22's delay, but Craig confirmed the plans during the US publicity tour for Casino Royale back in November 2006. It was later revealed that, due to the success of Casino Royale, Craig's pay deal had been upped to £5 million for Bond 22 and £8 million for Bond 23 - double the original sums.
If the new contract is completed, Craig will now play Bond in a total of five films, up to and including Bond 25. His second outing, the as-yet untitled "Bond 22", is scheduled for release on 7th November 2008. Filming is expected to commence in early January.

I think , That he makes James bond to be a Violent Killer. I don't remember any of the James Bond movies being that Violent. Maybe a little Intimidating but not that violent. I'm going to have to say I don't like this character development. Can We dye his hair too I thought his character name was James Bond, Not James Blonde. I don't like him.

Craig really has taken the Bond franchise to whole new level, after CR I don't see why not the producers won't sign him for four more. Good luck to ya Craig.

We need a James bond to charm women or entertain by humour.

Major Cheers to Craig. He plays Bond the way it was originally written; Tough, brooding and a bit of a smartass! Bring it on!!!
