It seems that the legendary actor Daniel Craig put an end to the discussion of his future participation in the James Bond films. One of these days in the press there was an interview of one of the close friends of the actor, who told about all the intricacies of the parting of Daniel and MGM film studio.
He was offered an astronomical fee, but Craig refused
Bond film producers Craig really like the role of genius Agent 007, which is why the MGM film studio resorted to various tricks to somehow deter the British actor. The press leaked information, according to which Daniel refused a fee of 68 million pounds sterling for the role of Bond in the next film.
Daily Mail published the following source: "For a long time, Craig has been trying to get out of Bond. After the end of the Spectra shootings, he told the producers that this film was the last one in which viewers would see him as Bond. This was done honestly and simply. After this MGM studio gave him time to think and after a few months again returned to this topic. They offered him not only an astronomical fee, but also the position of the producer of the picture, but Craig refused. As he said earlier, "Spectrum" is the last picture for him about Bond. After once again the producers were refused, they resigned themselves to the actor's decision. "
Producers did not like Daniel's attitude toward films
About the fact that Craig does not sympathize with the picture of Bond, and his desire to leave the project, the actor spoke long ago and quite often. That year, in one of his interviews, Daniel in general said that he was ready to break his hands just to stay on camera. In addition, he told that he had to sign a contract to shoot the last two paintings: "I did not want to be released under any circumstances, so I signed a contract. Business is business and nothing can be done about it. However, the further everything went, the more I wanted to leave. Let's see how "Spectrum" will show itself, if something goes wrong, then I will gladly leave the project. "
Why such a financially beneficial project Craig wanted to leave is not known reliably, but many are inclined to think that the actor is not ready for such complex filming physically. According to insider data, Daniel is very concerned about the joints, which constantly need to be treated and maintained, without giving strong force loads.
