Daniel Craig Turns Down $99 Mil To Play Bond Again For 2 More Films

[Thighmaster B]

Idriss Elba is free....

fukk this cac James Bond shyt.

Elba was born to play Stacker Pentecost. They just need to find a way to bring him back to thevPacific Rim franchise.

Craig just wants more money, I hope they give it to him. They should also bring in Idris Elba as a villain.

At least do that or have him have his own spin off like 006 or some shyt like a legendary one for the old guys

Breh has anyone read the freaking BBC article refuting this? Or did everyone do exactly what I said they would which is ignore that and ride with the tabloid

I have to admit that I didn't, breh. I was underwhelmed by Spectre, saw the headline afterward, went "Meh " and kept it moving. My bad.

 

[MikeyC]

Its time for Idris Elba to take over

Even the PAWGS Feenin' for that to happen:

The name’s Elba, Idris Elba – and he must be James Bond

 

[Roadie pipeher]

Someone summed spectre perfectly..

"My man was so fed up with his dad liking James Bond that he grew up and created a multibillion dollar cabal just to mess w/ him for 3 films"

Hell no...




And Loki is considered a sex symbol? This is news to me, I find the actor super average to homely looking.

 

[Sauce Dab]

Still didn't give Idris that call huh

 

[Jazzy B.]

That really need to make a prequel like how Christopher Nolan did for Batman.

That was meant to be the whole point with Casino Royale and Quantum, Bond who's just starting out. Yet in the next movie following them people are suddenly calling him old and recommending that he retire '''''''''


Sam Mendes ruined the whole point of the reboot with that storyline

 

[Jermio]

If they don't go for Elba, they should get Dan Stevens:

I mean a real prequel like how earned the rank commander, him getting recruit to be in MI6, first mission, etc. Sort of like the Bourne series.

Elba would be great but he's too old. He'd be at least 46 when the next flick comes out.

James Bond has always been an older looking guy.

Stop focusing on arbitrary numbers....Elba's age isn't the problem here.

All the worst Moore and Connery movies are them past 50. Connery was 32 in the Dr. No

After 3 or 4 of them would push all of them past their limit and undoubtedly Craig put his body on the line as he had his knee scoped at 47 and thumb re-attached during QOS
Being 007 has left me so battered I need a knee op, says Daniel Craig

Sounds great when you are in your 30s, but I can imagine it isn't when you are in your 50s.

Some things you can put a price on and I think this is it.

Brosnan
Connery
Moore
Lazenby (doesn't really count)
Dalton betrayed by studio-infighting, but imagine Goldeneye with Dalton

For the majority of the time, it takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and physical fitness to be Bond, not to mention these aren't NFL/WWE/MMA guys who can deal with pain and nagging injuries....

They are Shakespearean actors for the most part brehs

All the worst Moore and Connery movies are them past 50. Connery was 32 in the Dr. No

Moore was 58 when he did "A View To A Kill" and he was actually geared to do "The Living Daylights" at one point....

 

[Diunx]

Brehs I don't think I could physically say no to that kind of money
