Not really as flashy as Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace but Daniel Craig is back for one last outing as James Bond. November 2012 is miles off and I'm already looking forward to this. |

Daniel Craig is set to be offered a multi-million pound deal to become the longest serving James Bond of all time.
According to The People, Bond producer Michael G Wilson wants Craig, who has played the spy since 2006's Casino Royale, to sign up for five more 007 flicks.
With Craig currently working with director Sam Mendes on Skyfall, his third outing in the role, the deal would see him make eight Bond movies in total – one more than Roger Moore, who played the character seven times over 12 years.
Wilson said, "It's certainly something we'll be discussing with him once we finish shooting Skyfall. Filming has gone very well and I'd love Daniel to surpass Roger's record and do eight pictures. "
He went on to add: "There's really no one more passionate about making these films work than him – he's a film maker's dream. A lot of people have said Daniel's been their favourite Bond since Sean Connery and I can't argue with them. He's doing a great job."
The People also claims that although Wilson declined to reveal any financial details, it is believed that any deal Craig signs will see him pocket more than the £8 million he is expected to receive for Skyfall.
Earlier this month, Craig revealed that he had been forced to help finish the script for the Bond film Quantum Of Solace when the Writer's Guild Of America strike of 2007/8 crippled Hollywood.
Daniel Craig is my favourite Bond but eight movies is way too many. I hope Megan Fox becomes a Bond girl during his time though. It's a mystery as to why she isn't in this one tbh.

Nothing to do with the movie (well, kinda) but it's Bond so... Could 007 Legends Prove an Old James Bond Fan Theory Right?
Will Activision's upcoming Bond game finally explain why Bond never ages?
Australia, April 22, 2012
If you missed the announcement, 007 Legends is a first-of-its-kind video game that's just been announced by Activision. Developed by Eurocom (the studio behind the Wii remake of GoldenEye, and the subsequent HD 360 and PS3 port) and timed to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the British super-spy, 007 Legends will boast an original storyline that will stitch together six Bond films, concluding with this year's Daniel Craig instalment, Skyfall.
The prospect of revisiting classic Bond stories of old may prove difficult to resist for ardent Bond buffs, but could Eurocom be onto something even bigger here?
Um, we fold. Forever.
You see, there's been a pretty divisive fan theory about the James Bond film franchise for years that seems to have this game written all over it. It's not a watertight theory, but it's quite a practical one. The theory is James Bond isn't one man; it's a code-name that comes with one's double-0 status (specifically as 007). It's a theory that explains why Bond hasn't aged a day from the moment he buried Dr. No in guano in 1962 to when he left that whiny sissy in the desert to die in Quantum of Solace.
It's an elegant explanation; after all, M and Q are names that have been inherited by several different actors over five decades. In fact, it's such a neat solution even Lee Tamahori, the director of Die Another Day, wanted to take a crack at it. Tamahori even wanted Sean Connery to cameo in Die Another Day to lend weight to his theory, but the idea was rejected.
And yet, the invisible car wasn't rejected. Go figure.
Of course, it's not without holes. Some fans point to the Sean Connery-led Never Say Never Again as instant disproof of the theory (although Never Say Never Again wasn't an official Bond film, so it shouldn't count). However, Roger Moore's James Bond visiting the grave of the murdered wife of George Lazenby's Bond complicates things. Also, the fact that the opening sequence of GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan, takes place in 1986 (which is a year before Timothy Dalton's The Living Daylights and three years before 1989's License to Kill) derails things even further.
Of course, Eurocom simply installed Daniel Craig in the Pierce Brosnan role for GoldenEye – but replacing 50 years of Bonds with Craig is going to look pretty absurd. Perhaps the clue is in the name; after all, it's not 007 Legend – it's 007 Legends. Does the plural imply more than one of them?
What do you think of this fan theory, anyway? Let us know below, and feel free to elaborate in the comments. That's actually a pretty cool story twist. It wasn't in the books and obviously was never meant to be that, but it certainly is an interesting idea. So many people would be pissed if that happened though and I'm pretty sure you guys would nuke us if we fucked with James Bond. |

MGM confirmed that the fan theory is bullshit a few years ago. Having said that, video games are non-canon, so I'd love to kick arse with Craig, Connery, and Brosnan in the same game. I'm hoping Dalton is in too, his Bond was insane. They can skip Lazenby and Moore.
Every Bond game has sucked in the last few years, so I'm hoping this is better.

As far as I know, these are the first pictures of Ben Whishaw, Bérénice Marlohe, and Naomie Harris as Q, Sévérine, and Eve.    I already have a feeling that Sévérine will be my favourite character that isn't named James Bond. |

007: Legends is just a selection of old movies retold with Daniel Craig, which makes no sense at all, because Casino Royale was the start of a new timeline.
I would have preferred 007: Legends to have a couple of Connery, Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan's stories linked together, and then Craig getting his own Skyfall game. Oh well, I wasn't going to buy it anyway, lol.

I have all the confidence in the world that this is going to be the movie of the year for me.

Skyfall hasn't even been released yet, but work has already started on Bond 24.
Daniel Craig returns as James Bond, for possibly the last time, and Christopher Nolan has shown interest in directing.

Daniel Craig returns as James Bond, for possibly the last time, and Christopher Nolan has shown interest in directing. He just signed a 6 picture deal a couple weeks ago. We're way off from Craig's last run as Bond. As for the second part....  And that's all I have to say about that.... |

Really? I thought that was just a rumour? Daniel Craig's Bond has become my favourite Bond, but 6 more (it is 6 more and not 6 overall, right?) would be too much for anybody. We'll find out if wants to do more in 2 to 3 years anyway.
And yeah, I really don't want Nolan touching Bond. He's already made me hate Batman.

I can't find the article but I seen it on IGN and IMDb simultaneously like not even two weeks ago. He's signed on to do 6 more including this one coming out, bringing the total to 8, so he'll have been the longest Bond.
They need to shell out the movies a bit quicker than this tho. 4 years is much too big a gap if they want to get that done.

This one ran into financial difficulties and was shelved indefinitely though, that's why there was a huge gap. They'll probably go back to one every two years starting with Bond 24.
Eight movies is too much for any Bond.

Well, didn't Connery and Moore both do 7? So it's not that far out of the question. As long as the stories are good, the action is intense, and Craig can still go, he can do 50 for all I care.
