I thought Craig had already been contracted for three Bond films...

But anyway, if this is at all true, it's a good sign that Sony's happy enough to let Craig sign on for the next one.

Reports have said he signed a 3 film contract, others said 3 with 4th option, others said till 2012 - nothings been official announced.

I find it hard to belive that Daniel Craig didn't sign a three picture deal in 2005. Under a three picture deal Craig wouldn't be able to raise his price if Casino Royale is successful and Eon knows that.

LOL "News of the World" is hardly a reliable source for news.
Really I find it amazing that anyone would take a report from what is essentially a glorified tabloid seriously.
I am certain that Craig signed a three-picture deal (with an option on a fourth) last October.

This is an old rehashed story. I remember this word for word.

It wasn't even right at the time - given that he had already signed a 3 picture deal as is the norm.

I would love to see what the stipulations and contingencies are in his contract too. I mean, would his three picture deal be based on how successful he is? I just dont think contracts are what they used to be and if he flops at the box office, they can just buy him out and move on to the next Bond search...(UGH!)

I assume there's a clause giving the studios the right to terminate it under certain conditions or as you said, buy him out.

Old article <-- check the date and look how similar those first two paragraphs are to this so-called "new" report.

Not like this was news anyway.

Just a way to get bond in the news, in these quiet summer days... there will be plently more from those rags.

I mean, they found Sid Vicious suicide note once, when he made a suicide attempt in 1978, and for the anniversary of his death 25 later, it was suddenly "discovered" for the first time, (when it existed printed in many books since)... just news to keep something in the public eye.

Glorified? Hardly.

You've been away too long. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is and wears it's tabloid status quite proudly.

I read that Craig has a 3 picture deal with an option for a fourth. Presumably the studio and the actor have to agree to make that fourth film when the time comes, or could Eon force Craig's hand if he didn't want to do it?
For my money, he'll make just the three films. By that point he'll have had enough of it all. I do think he'll be successful though, and I imagine many people will be disappointed when he eventually leaves the role.
