'Another Two Or Three' Bond Films With Craig, Says Broccoli

_{Also; hints on London shoot for Bond 22}

[tdalton]

I think that it would be great if they got another three films out of Craig, as that would have him doing an equal number with Brosnan. Granted, as much as I like Craig in the role, I would love to see him do 5, 6, or even 7 Bond films, but if he were able to do 4 and be equal in number to Brosnan, then I would certainly be happy with that.

Hmm wonder if she means basing the production in a London studio, or shooting on location around the city. Whatever's best for the production I guess but would hate to see Bond confined to London for large periods of the movie - it's nice to see the exotic locations.

[HildebrandRarity]

I imagine they cut a special deal with the tax authorities to base production in London.

MI6 is external so I imagine any Bond movie to revolve around locations outside England/the UK.

As Fro said in the Charlie Rose thread in the Casino Royale forum, when Rose asked if he's committed to do two more Bonds films after CR, Craig himself said, "two or three more".

Be interesting to see if he makes as many as Connery and Moore.

A while bacl there was a quote going around something like (not verbatim) "I will do three Bond films and then get on with my life." It is great there is already talk of the possibility of him doing more than three.

I think that was him being fed up with what he had to endure from a minority of 2 or 3 individuals on the internet and the tabloids that fed on it.

Once the raves began to come in off those London and New York press screenings of the weekend of Nov 3-5, it likely lifted his spirits as well as the studios' confidence in him.

Eon traditionally cuts deals for 3 with an option of a 4th. Barbara was 100 percent dedicated to that tradition.

It was going to be up to Craig and the Moneymen to weigh in any differently.

It would be awsome to see him do his 3 or 4 over a 10 year horizon and then bow out gracefully while on top...something the other 5 never managed. A Michael Schumacher type exit, perhaps.

Moore and Dalton have been the graceful ones...but neither bowed out at the 'right' time, IMO.

Connery, Laz and Brozza, obviously did neither, IMO. No bowing out with grace with these three.

Perhaps Craig will do 4 and his reign will be regarded as the greatest.

I really hope Craig does 'two or three more'. I feel so set with him as Bond and want to see where this new angle goes and what boost it will do to the franchise.

That means..hey, he would be up there with a solid stint like Broz and Connery!

Four seems to be the magic number, though Moore's run might have been looked on quite differently if he never got around to doing FYEO. I imagine Connery's run would have been better for it thought (cutting off at TB).

Definitely. We will never know for sure until the the beginning of work on Bond 22, Bond 23, etc... exactly how many he will do.

[Skudor]

Cool - I'd love to see Craig put in proper time as Bond.

[Bondfan007]

I really hope he does 4 or 5, I mean as long as he doesnt pull a Roger and age badly

May depend how quickly Bond 23, 24, etc. are released. But Craig is definitely the right age now.
