SONY ABSOLUTE MAN

>GIVING 150 million$ to craig for two more bond flick

A new day generally brings a fresh frontrunner to inherit 007’s tuxedo, with Victoria star Tom Hughes the most recent to join the likes of Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and Aidan Turner. But according to a source reported by Radar, the most likely candidate to star as James Bond is Daniel Craig.

Craig, 48, has already starred in four films, and despite a rumoured $65m (£48.66m) payday for 2015’s Spectre, was apparently sceptical about returning for more instalments. But pre-release qualms (“I’d rather slash my wrists”) were felt to have been overstated and, in the absence of an obvious replacement, Sony are said to be keen to sign him on for at least two further films. The actor added that he reserved “the right to change my mind” about quitting the series.

According to Radar, Craig’s public reluctance may even have helped his cause. “[He] has played a genius hand,” said the source. “Everyone knows how much executives adore him, and the idea of losing him at such a crucial time in the franchise isn’t an option as far as all the studio honchos are concerned.”

The $150m would apparently involve two more films, shot “virtually back-to-back” – but neither would be shot by Sam Mendes who, despite the critical and commercial success of Spectre and its predecessor, Skyfall, has ruled himself out of returning.

The final decision rests with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, who in July was reported to be focusing on the next two films, with a view to potentially rehiring Craig.

A spokesperson from Sony Pictures said the company had no comment.

Snyder needs to direct these 2 films

good for daniel craig

he looks like a beefed up garden gnome that works as a nightclub bouncer

...

Didn't Spectre end with him walking into the sunset with the bond girl? quick Sup Forums make a plot to get rid of her, bonus points if the new bad guys don't kill her

It was me James.

The author of all your paychecks.

Why is Daniel such a whiny bitch? He makes more money than almost anyone will make in their lives for these films and the reason he gives for whining is that he doesn't like the character politically, that he's sexist and racist and who gives a fuck what else. The last good movie was casino royale. He should be expelled outright for his womanly bitching but the movies make too much money so long as the directors keep inserting nu-male Qs and multiracial girls. They may as well hire Idris and have him take down Donald trump at this point.

They obviously a cinematic universe: James Bond, Mission Impossible, and Bourne. With a lot of quipping of course.

Sample:

>My name's is bond, james bond
>I'm jason bourne, we have the same initials!
>craig raises his eyebrows and arranges his suit
>Tom cruise: Scientology!!!
>Interracial sex/couple out of nowhere

Just get Brosin back. He was a better bond anyway.

you sound like a whiny bitch yourself

That's a lot of moolah.

Feels kinda weird decision or they are just getting free hypes. I mean Spectre was the perfect cheese ending to Craigs serious Bond. I'm ready to back to good agent thrillers.

I so hope Craig returns so I can see him and Waltz again together

Remember Craig shilling how the movie wouldn't exist without the product placement?

His November Man movie is practically his 5th Bond film.

>sony pictures
>anything but product placement
see every one of their movies since spiderman 3

It's because he's making a loads of money he gets to bitch.
He's clearly rich enough already that he can really pick his jobs even if they bring hundreds of millions.

>Daniel Craig is almost 50
They want him for two more movies
I hope one day we'll have a bond thats 27 or young enough to carry a series alot long
I dont want to see another roger moore oldman bond

>I hope one day we'll have a bond thats 27 or young enough to carry a series alot long
NO NO I do not want a 20 year old Bond.

James Bond should always be 30 +

That just means she gets kidnapped or dies or stabs him in the back in the first 10 minutes.

Just make sure to get rid of any Mendes legacy.

Lazenby was the youngest Bond ever and it didn't work so well.

>be Brosnan
>do four movies
>want to do more
>get kicked out

>be Craig
>do four movies
>want to slash wrists
>get paid 150 million to do 2 more

Brosnan BTFO

>James Bond should always be 30 +

This. You want some brat to be a superspy, you watch Agent Cody Banks. You want someone to be a seasoned veteran superspy with an infamous pedigree, you don't hire out of the kiddie pool. 30+ or fuck off. The biggest gaffe of the Bourne movies was Matt Damon being too young to play Bourne; now that he's finally the proper age for the role, he fits it like he never has before.

What the news is:
>Sony offers Craig 150mil for two more bond movies
What the headlines will be:
>Sony would rather spend 150mil than cast a woman or POC as the next bond

>Barbara Broccoli

That came out of nowhere.

Yeah except The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day are fucking abortions and Brosnan was basically a mannequin used to shill shit by the end of his run.

They always offer the currect actor huge money for another movie. Brosnan was offered up to 50 million for 5th movie. And before that, Sean Connery was too.

Man, I miss Cody Banks.

Fuck the ungrateful greedy fuck.

75 million per movie? Fuck off. They didn't even pay raise Brosnan to 25 million.

I don't know why Sup Forums is complaining. Sony clearly want this alternative casting BS to blow over and the only way of doing that is by Craig choosing to continue with the role.

Craig sucked in the last movie, didnt even look like he was trying. Its time for him to step down

Yeah, no thanks, not now anyways..

>barbara broccoli

The name's blonde, platinum blonde

Why not make him the villain and have a new younger double O 7 kill him at the end? They never done this before.

Good as long as we can make sure the nigger is too old to take on the part. I'd rather have Craig than a nigger Bond.

I'm sorry but you can't play an ethnicity of "half swiss, half scott" as a nigger.

Each Craig film delays an Idris Elba Bond by just a little.

I was really disappointed in this movie.

But I do think Brosnan could easily come back as Bond again. He just needs decent scripts / directing, which has always been his problem.

>You'ree dead, shitskin

jesus christ, what was Daniel thinking?

>Turning Bond into young adult shit
kys buddy

thank god

Brosnan is in his 60s now, what would it be about?

This. When you think about it, Borne is supposed to be so conditioned as a super spy, that he retains all the habbits / skills despite amnesia. Doesn't make sense that someone young would have time to so deeply absorb all that.

I like that no one responded to (You)

Why not just get a new Bond?
Don't want Craig to become Roger Moore-tier overly old for the role.

Daniel Craig is much charismatic then brosnan.
also well built etc.

only reason people went to see Spectre.

Not surprising... they will probably pay anything just to avoid the clusterfuck of hiring a new Bond... they know that if they get another white actor to play the role, they are going to take shit for it... and if they get a Black Bond, well they will probably take just as much shit for it too. They are just trying to avoid the inevitable lose-lose for as long as possible

Why not just one? That would be enough to finish the storyline which should've been finished in the last movie anyway.

I see what they're trying to do. There will be another reboot after Craig because modern audiences won't accept the change of the main actor. They're too cynical for that. That means the whole cast willl be rebooted too.

Two more? With what material?The only way that they could pull it is that they do canonize the "James Bond is a codename" thing and they pass the baton to someone else, would be interesting and you would have enough time to say goodbye to one and establish the other

i want a nolan and tarantino bond for the final craig kinos

I lived so long without knowing about this retarded fan theory. Good times. Now I wish I could track down and strangle everybody who keeps talking about it.

Pre-title set piece: Bond's last mission. In the end he saves the world, but something terrible happens that's his fault (schoolbus full of kids goes off a cliff or something).

[time skip]

Bond is retired as a 00, totally off the radar for years even MI6 doesn't know where he is (he's in a remote village in Papua New Guinea happily drinking himself to death or whatever). No phone, no TV, no internet, just living out his days in peace in the most disconnected place possible.

But he starts to notice strange outside influences. The price of petrol goes up 5x, but the price of bananas cuts in half. He thinks he sees satellites collide at night, etc. Eventually curiosity gets the better of him, despite deep reluctance, and he starts looking into world events since he dropped off the map. World's gone to hell in a hand-basket, but slowly with no obvious cause. The 00 program has been shut down due to public embarrassment (notably his fuck-up in the pre-credits), and governments world-side are extremely gun-shy due to a string of similar high-profile fudgeups.

...this is getting too long, but basically Bond with no support realizes who has been orchestrating all this chaos and takes them down.

I agree, they should get someone like Fassbender to do it

>it's a Bond becomes a neo-Nazi episode

He hears her pooping and gets 8nto an argument accusing her of pooping. After she admits it he walks out the house with his pet falcon, contemplating if he'll ever find a girl that doesn't poop.

Why get Craig back? What would the plot of the next one with him be? Kill his girlfriend AGAIN and he goes on a reenge spree AGAIN? Fuck that There was nowhere to go with Craig's version.
The way Spectre ended gave the perfect opportunity for a reboot.

He was a model though who lied about his talent for acting, theyd actually find someone suitable hopefully this time around

>white cat jumps into bonds lap
>Franz Oberhauser died 20 years ago, James in an avalanche, alongside his father. The man you are talking to now, the man inside your head, is Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Such a forced line/poorly delivered "reveal"

lmao it was a genius play. They have thrown hundreds of millions at him to keep him on. Do you even negotiate, you dumb nigger?

You know nothing of the character at all, do you?

>In Ian Fleming's stories, James Bond is in his mid-to-late thirties, but does not age. In Moonraker, he admits to being eight years shy of mandatory retirement age from the 00 section—45—which would mean he was 37 at the time

Here's the age of each actor in their first bond

Sean Connery 32
George Lazenby 30
Roger Moore 46
Timothy Dalton 43
Pierce Brosnan 42
Danile Craig 37

You want to go watch James Bond jr or some shit

She keeps walking right into the sun, as Smashmouth plays in the background.

Get rid of this fucking cunt already

All Bond since CR were shit

This fucker introduced chav culture to the franchise

Literally the only people who think Brosnan was good are underages who grew up with him, even Brosnan himself thinks he was a bad Bond

Since they referenced so much of On Her Maj's SS in Spectre, they should just begin the next film how OHMSS ended

youtube.com/watch?v=kJfk-tIuVFg

Fuck off with your YA trash.

35-40 is the ideal age for first time Bond.

Your next James Bond, ladies and gents.

Craig will likely be about 51 if they shoot back to back. If he stays swole it'll be alright.

People didn't actually take the "slashing wrists" comment seriously? He's known for fucking around during interviews and was tired after finishing Spectre, of course he doesn't want to do one right after.

How do you walk away from cash like that? He'll do it.

>craig
>bond

They are trying to get him in for more movies so Idris Elba will be too old to start and sjw will finally stfu about it

>They are trying to get him in for more movies so Idris Elba will be too old to start

Idris Elba himself said he's too old for Bond, and also said Sony has never approached him at all about the role.

But this is Sup Forums so obviously he's just saying that because he's under NDA because that allows more maymays.

Craig is shit

>patrician: Connery
>underrated: Lazenby
>acceptable: Brosnan
>meme: Moore
>contrarian: Dalton
>craig
>bond
Ftfy

look at sony now tho, they've been doing so shit lately you gotta know they're gonna pay out of their asses for something as "consistent" as bond

>well built & charismatic
>manlet & a robot with no emotion
What's this hairstyle called guys?

that girl is Olenna Tyrell now

there he is, those last 3 digits bode well for what you do to every bond thread ayyyyy also check them!!!!

The "JUST got out of the water", you faggot.

Connery, Dalton, and Brosnan are still my top three.

So does Bond always end up pu.ping and dumping all these chicks?

Try watching the movies then get back to us.

Surprised Sony hasn't changed the race or gender of James Bond yet.

>irish
>white

Why is everyone banging on about Sony? They haven't even got the distribution rights to James Bond anymore.

>You want to go watch James Bond jr or some shit

That would be the Kingsman film I presume.

Everything after Blofield's surgery on Bond was a dream/hallucination. That big ass explosion, shooting down a helicopter with one bullet while on a moving boat, NOT killing the villain, and walking away with the girl, were things he wanted. It was all a big lie to himself, he is atill in the company of Ernst being brainwashed as a double agent or something.

T H E A U T H O R O F A L L Y O U R P A I N

It was to make more money from the shit, idiot.

Craig is a full blown sjw tho.

>Black Moneypenny is a bad thing
>Q being some young autist is a bad thing

I wonder if they are learning this current wave of ''WAH MAKE THIS CHARACTER BLACK" or "WHY NOT A FEMALE BOND" dies out after a few years so they want to hold on to him so they can recast the role years down the road without people screaming for "diversity."

Kingsman is total shit

The guy said "no russian" meaning don't speak the russian language.
How the fuck are they supposed to know which civilians are russians?
you're a retard

>I'd rather slash my wrists than play James Bond again

Is it really that hard to be paid tens of millions for staying infront of a camera?

Craig has my sympathy.

Not black enough.

>Barbara Broccoli

You'll never go shooting with Daniel Craig and then hang out at your home bar drinking Guinness after.

Apparently the Spectre shoot was a nightmare.

>they don't know about logan lucky

Why do you hate James Bond?

>female bond

>gets fucked by a Chad
>manipulates the enemy into doing the mission for her and then double crosses at the end.

I'd rather watch totally spies desu
