Forums - Movies & TV - Daniel Craig turns down £68m deal for two more James Bond films



Elba would be good too but it doesn't sound like it's gonna happen.



Around the Network

I heard he really hated making the last one. Pierce Brosnan seemed to loathe the role too towards the end. Shrugs.

I would've countered with 35 mill pounds for one more film and then bailed out.

Idris Elba or Henry Cavill would get my vote for the next Bond. I don't think 45 for Elba is too old, general speaking black people seem to age better, so he could easily pass for a late 30s Bond with a little easy cover up on any grey. He's 42 now, Pierce Brosnan was 41 when he got the role.



Brosnan next bond



I never was a huge fan of Craig. I actually liked Pierce Brosnan better.

I do think they should try and find a fresh new face. And no James bond isn't black. It would throw the whole continuity outta the window.
Samuel is awesome but this isn't the role for him. 

We already know how that worked for johhny of the fantastic 4. You can't just "paint" established characters in a different color without it beeing extremely awkward. Imagine if they rebooted Blade with a white actor. Even Samuel as Nick fury was pretty weird at first. He benefitted from the fact that marvel learned how to make great movies.

Nah Brosnan was kicked basically cause they wanted to reboot Bond. It was totally unexpected as it happened during negotiations for the next movie. 

Craig hates bond with a passsion ever since he finished te second one. No money would sold that issue. You can see in his last two bonds how he seems flatter. Only reason he did them because of signing up for 4. He wanted out early too because he hated people associating him as bond and no other movie that he been in.

Yeah, Sony is not in its best period considering how good they've been doing historically. Hopefully, next year's Spider-Man: Homecoming will be great.

It'll be produced by Marvel Studios which raises my hype level substantially. I loved the portrayal of Spider-Man in Civil War.

Exactly. My hopes are pretty high as well.



Idris Elba.

Personally, I still enjoy many of their films though. For instance Money Monster which is currently showed on the big screens.

You didn't enjoy any of these from Sony Pictures?

          

          

          

          

          

          

          

Honestly a lot of those were meh sequels to original movies, the only movie I really liked from the list is Django, and funny enough it was not really all Sony, and was not distributed by Sony in North America. Also one final thing about that list you posted, pssh I really hate Seth Rogen. For example I liked the first Hotel Tr., 22 Jump Street, Underworld, etc.

Only 5 of 21 are sequels though but I get your point. So you only liked Django. If you haven't seen them I can definitely recommend Fury, Concussion, Zero Dark Thirty, Skyfall, The Pirates and Money Monster as well.

 

I don't hate Seth Rogen. I think This Is the End is hilarious. I didn't expect it but early reviews of Sausage Party are quite strong as well: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sausage_party/

If Bond had continunity, Bond would be in a old folkes home and need to change diapers because he'd be 90+ years old. 

I thought Michael B. Jordan was more than decent in Fanastic 4, that whole angle of the script wasn't the problem at all. 

The rest of the movie was just kinda .... meh. I liked the F4 main cast actually, they just got the Doom character very wrong and it was a very "small" plot, it felt like a comic book movie from circa 2000 (ie: the first X-Men) released today. Too small potatoes.

Maybe before. But the new films are actually based on the books now.
