    I think Dan's dry sense of humour is lost on the media. Every word is under a microscope. But that comes with the Job of being the most famous creation on screen.

    You know what this latest New Yorker interview with Daniel Craig changed? It changed perception on how Daniel Craig thinks about James Bond:

    "Daniel Craig Implies He Wants To Keep Playing James Bond After All" (Variety.com)

    "Daniel Craig Breaks James Bond Silence, Hints at Potential Return: "I'd Miss It Terribly" " (Moviefone.com)

    "Daniel Craig Now Seems to Want Playing James Bond" (IGN Entertainment)

    "Daniel Craig Changes Tune on Bond Return" (collider.com)

    "Daniel Craig on James Bond franchise: "I'd miss it terribly" " (Entertainment Weekly)

    "Daniel Craig just pulled a huge U-turn over playing James Bond" (independent.co.uk)

    "Did Daniel Craig Just Hint at His Return as James Bond?" (Esquire)

    "Daniel Craig Would No Longer Rather Slit His Wrists Than Play James Bond Again" (io9.com)

    "Daniel Craig Still Interested In Playing James Bond" (screenrant.com)

    "Daniel Craig May Change His Mind About Not Returning As James Bond" (cinemablend.com)

    "Daniel Craig Doesn't Seem Ready to Quit Being James Bond" (vulture.com)

    "Daniel Craig Walks Back His James Bond-related Fatigue" (screencrush.com)

    And I think it's all for the better :-). Daniel Craig may have changed the public perception about James Bond, by actually initiating a full-blown charm-offensive with regard to James Bond. And it work :-). Mr Craig set some things straight, and the media picked it up joyfully and with lots of positivity. Hopefully we're now past these stupid gossip articles throwing in other 'potential' actors replacing Daniel.

    DANIEL CRAIG....

    Nice to see that the media have finally caught on to what we knew a year ago. It's not like reporting the truth is their job or anything anyway. Oh, wait...

    Those are incredibly dumb headlines (obviously no offense to you @Gustav). Craig never "pulled a u-turn" on anything, he simply hasn't talked. The only thing they're basing that off of is the wrist slashing comment.

    Going from slashing wrists to missing terribly sounds like a u turn to me.
    Doesn't take a genius to know that he was bullsh**ing. But like @ClarkDevlin said, anything for a story.

    Doesn't take a dumbass to realize that quote had an impact whether he meant it or not. And I don't f#cking care if he did or didn't mean it was a Trump level f#cking stupid remark against a $300 million investment.

    I like Craig's Bond but no I don't agree at all and I'm certainly not a dumb ass for thinking so.
    ???
    I certainly wasn't calling you a dumbass. You're allowed to interpret the quote in any way you want. But there's only one way that Craig meant it, and that was merely amplified banter between two people that has been misrepresented in the press ever since. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss @mcdonbb and we're all here if you need to talk, but not everything lIke this quote should be taken seriously. The best thing to do is to approach it with some lightness instead of blowing it out of proportion like the press has been doing for nearly a year.

    No I'm sorry ...I should not be so touchy. Forgive me :(.

    I get the comment and the text of the comment.

    I'm sorry. All ok, I hope.

    And thank you @Mathis1 as well

    I feel like Craig would come back if they found a distributor and good director.

    He obviously does not care about the money. If they don't make a move quick within the next year then he will slip away.. I really do see him doing one more film.

    Time Out magazine interview 2015:
    You want to move on from Bond for good?
    ‘I haven’t given it any thought. For at least a year or two, I just don’t want to think about it. I don’t know what the next step is. I’ve no idea. Not because I’m trying to be cagey. Who the fuck knows? At the moment, we’ve done it. I’m not in discussion with anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.’

    http://www.timeout.com/london/film/daniel-craig-interview-my-advice-to-the-next-james-bond-dont-be-shit

    He clearly does care about the money. To suggest otherwise, as you and many other Bond fans have done, is factually incorrect. Craig will only return if the price is right, not out of fan loyalty nor great interest in the role. If fans want Craig back just going through the motions for a big fat pay cheque, then support him. I'd rather find a cheaper-to-hire actor with some fresh enthusiasm.

    But he only came back for Mendes.
    Several interviews showed him saying that he only came back if Mendes was directing.. If the new reports are true of them offering him $100M and he has not made a decision yet.. Maybe he has changed his mind about money.

    I will say this, he made them a billion dollars. They should be marketing him more and trying their best to get more films made.. Or at the very least advertising the James abond franchise in general.. They better hurry up or they will lose Craig and the entire franchise.

    Sorry to hear that mcdonbb, but i think we can safely say Craig made the comment straight after an exhausting shoot! It was understandable he would say dont want to even think about it yet. He chose an unfortunate phrase which everyone has made a mountain out of! It was a pretty dumb question to ask, if i must say so! Babs and Michael W are constantly asked at the end of a Bond movie, when is the next one out? They of course never give a clear answer because everyone is just gearing up for the current one!

    Exactly, @Mathis1

    Anyone with an iota of common sense would know why he said it at the end of an exhausting shoot.

    Trouble is the press just love to jump on any comment and take it literally.

    Someone like Craig who is intelligent and has a sense of humour never translate well in the press.

    I am betting though that all the build-up the press made on that "slashing wrists" comment, Craig laughed at it a dozen times, I take it, due to its sheer absurdity. I do love his "devil may care" attitude towards it like hell he gives a damn about it.

    It's pretty obvious he appreciates the franchise and loves his job.

    Craig has put 100% effort into Spectre his best performance as Bond by far, he finally is the cinematic James Bond that his predecessors mastered from the very first film they were in.

    His wrist slashing comments were incredibly stupid. Now he has corrected his error, if very late.

    It seems most media reports suggest Craig could be back for another Bond film but that it will be a long time until it gets made.

    You can look at it like you want, the Craig-era past QOS has been a waiting game for the fans.
    Only two movies since QOS which hit the screen in 2008, that's eight years ago.

    Once MGM, EON have sorted things out we should expect a long-term plan for at least 3 movies with a new actor, made within 5 calendar years, 6 the most!

    Should Craig actually do a fifth, 2018 it must be, 2019 will already be a difficult sell marketing wise with an 51 year old Craig that had a break for another four years.

    Sure, but M:I is Cruise, beyond him there will be no M:I franchise anymore.

    Bond is not Ethan Hunt. I don't get those comparisons at all.

    People won't care if Craig is 51. Actually, the general audience's mentality from what I see on social media is that they don't accept a change easily, and will be satisfied with Craig's return.

    @BondJasonBond006 Bond 25 is a Bond film, interest in Bond has been high for the last 50 odd years, it shouldn't be a problem marketing it.

    I don't agree with the first statement; it would be difficult but MI could continue beyond Cruise. And the comparison is the time gap between films.
    and the age of their central character and the actor portraying him.

    It was a light hearted comment so get over yourself.

    You've never said something off the cuff then? Ever?

    In all the interviews I've seen Craig seems to be an articulate and intelligent bloke who has a dry sense of humour.

    I just came across another great article title incorporating the wrist slash. These guys never cease to amaze.

    Here is an official video from The New Yorker Festival of Daniel explaining how BB approached him to play the role and his involvement in shaping the films.

    Craig looked great in the interview, and I really wouldn't be worried about his age especially if Bond25 gets a 2018 release date.
    2019, however, I feel could be a stretch in expecting him to return. Anything can happen between now and then.
    By 1993, 4 years after LTK, I was still certain Dalton would be coming back, yet a few months later announced his resignation. Also with yet another four year break, Bond 25 would most likely involve yet another (yawn) plot regarding Bond's relevance in this day and age. Once again Eon will have to prove themselves unnecessarily and we may end up with another film that doesn't seem to know which direction to take, Yawn again. Might as well break in a new actor for B25 if they're going to have to go thru that trouble again, because by B26 another 4 years later, that tiresome cycle will repeat with the inevitability of an unloved season.

    @ToTheRight

    love your MR reference...

    personally I think a plot can't go more Yawn than it has with Skyfall. Yawn & Pointless.

    Spectre was a big step up, especially since the Nine Eyes (mass surveillance, information is power theme) is a reflection of our society. Something the Bond franchise always excelled at in doing was mirroring what is going on in the world.

    4 years is a long time and up to 2012 I didn't think it possible to happen with the same Bond actor. Now we are facing this scenario again, which imho is an absolute no-go.

    But hey if they give me another gem like Spectre in 2019 with an AVTAK like Craig then be it.

    Once a new actor is a fact, BB has to have a long term plan otherwise Bond will someday suddenly just fade away.

    SF constantly asks whether not only Bond, but does espionage itself seem relevant in the 21st Century? The whole themes of "the old ways are sometimes the best" is a plot point in itself. Granted it was the 50th anniversary and a celebration of Bond, but I'd like a Bond film the exudes confidence in itself, the character, the series and offers no apologies. Audiences change. Older movie goers tend to get more picky on what films they want to shell out $15 for- and when each new Bond takes years to come out it's like having to reintroduce the character to a whole new generation. If the release dates were consistent and reliable like was once the norm for Bond, this wouldn't be an issue. The films could evolve naturally- and we wouldn't have to have the Aston Martin in every film for example.
