Sony offered Daniel Craig $5 million to use their smartphone in the next James Bond movie, but he resisted
Sony offered James Bond star Daniel Craig a $5 million fee to put the forthcoming Sony Xperia Z4 smartphone in the forthcoming film Spectre, but Craig and Spectre director Sam Mendes resisted because "James Bond only uses the 'best.'"
Samsung is willing to give a $5 million fee for its phones appearing in the movie, but a higher marketing spend of $50 million to promote it. While Sony only wanted to spend 18 million on marketing.
"BEYOND the $$ factor, there is, as you may know, a CREATIVE factor whereby Sam and Daniel don’t like the Sony phone for the film (the thinking, subjectively/objectively is that James Bond only uses the 'best,' and in their minds, the Sony phone is not the 'best')," wrote Andrew Gumpert, President of Worldwide Business Affairs and Operations for Columbia Pictures.
