A few days ago, MGM chairman and CEO Harry Sloan confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the studio has signed Daniel Craig to do four more “James Bond” movies, which will put his total at five, including Casino Royale and the upcoming Bond 22.
If that is the total amount he will do (he might sign on for more after the five-picture deal), it would put him behind Roger Moore (7) and Sean Connery (6), but ahead of Pierce Brosnan (4), Timothy Dalton (2) and George Lazenby (1). From what we remember, Brosnan was also expected to do five films, but that didn’t work out.
Bond 22 is scheduled for a November 7, 2008 release.
