When Is Next Bond Film
James Bond producers say Daniel Craig is their first choice for next film Daniel Craig 'offered $150 million' to return to James Bond for two more films How Daniel Craig nearly ruined Skyfall with.
Daniel Craig is heading for the next Bond set sooner than we might have thought. On Tuesday, the British star confirmed to the Associated Press that the upcoming 007 movie—his fifth in the franchise—will be his next film. Break out out your martinis and Omega watches, because Bond 25 is upon us.
Though he confirmed the Bond film is his next project lined up, Craig stayed quiet about whether or not Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle would direct the film. “We’ll see. We’ll see,” he responded.
Boyle himself confirmed last month that he was eyeing the next film, and was working on a script with Richard Curtis (Love Actually) and John Hodge (Trainspotting). “It all depends on that, really,” he told Variety. “We hope to start shooting that in six or seven weeks. Then Bond would be right at the end of the year.” This would be a dream come true for MGM, who has been eyeing Boyle for a Bond film for years now, but has yet to make an official announcement about the Slumdog Millionaire director’s participation.
Though Boyle will be a new entry to the franchise, this will be Craig’s fifth time suiting up for the character, which seems to get harder and harder for him with each film. The actor made headlines on his last Bond press tour in 2015, saying he’d rather “slash [his] wrists” than take up the mantle once more. He also added, for good measure, that if he did it, it would “only be for the money” and that he doesn’t “give a fuck” which actor comes next. The quotes instantly went viral and have since haunted Craig at every turn, on top of earning him a furious phone call from Gary Barber, MGM’s chief executive and chairman.
“Instead of saying something with style and grace, I said something really stupid,” Craig said in an interview with Stephen Colbert last year. He then confirmed that he had signed up for one more film.
“I just want to go out on a high note,” he said. “I can’t wait.”
And soon, his 007 curse will be broken. Craig can shuffle off the cuff links, the suits, the fancy little weapons, all the last vestiges of Bondism keeping him tethered to Britain’s most tireless franchise, passing it off to the next schmuck ready for instant worldwide fame and billion-dollar box-office glory.

No details on the plot are known, but Horowitz told the BBC it opens with a 'killer' opening line: 'I haven't got a title yet, and I've got a killer first line, which I can't tell you. It's the only reason I want to write the book, really.'
