That's a lot of money: Daniel Craig offered $150 million for more Bond
Jason Clement posted a topic in TV, Movie, Blu-Ray
Remember when Daniel Craig infamously said that "he'd rather slash his own wrists than do another Bond film" (after he did Spectre a year or two ago)? A lot of people thought he was digging his own grave by saying it (not that he cared), but it turns out that... well, the comments may have had the opposite effect, actually making the studio want to retain him even more. Case in point, the latest news going around is that they're willing to offer him $150 million to return for two back-to-back Bond movies. That's 75 million per movie, which is pretty crazy; very few actors have ever made that kind of money on one film without some sort of backdoor deal that involves getting a percentage of the film's profits. So yeah, that's major money. Anyhow, no response from the Craig camp but I'll be really surprised if he turns it down, especially since he mentioned that if he did come back, it would be for the money. $150 million would have him set for the rest of his career, essentially. But if he turns it down, massive respect to him as well for having the self-respect to walk away from something his heart isn't into. What do you guys think? Will he take the deal? Would you?
