James Bond Producers Fretting Over Daniel Craig

James Bond bosses are said to be ‘panicking’ over the proposed 2018 film as they’ve not yet got a lead actor.
Producers are hoping Daniel Craig will return to the role but he’s yet to confirm whether he wants to take part.
MGM executives are reportedly at a “stalemate” with the 48-year-old star – with little contact between the camps.
An insider told The Mirror: “Daniel and MGM are currently at a stalemate with him having not spoken to them about Bond.
“They have offered a bigger wage deal, and asked about his filming availability to his reps in 2017, but as yet they have not spoken to Daniel.
“They want Bond 25 out in October 2018, but currently they have no Bond, film dates or knowledge of when that will change.
“Daniel’s commitment is also a key part of whether Sony Pictures will come in to co-finance the film. So much is hanging in the air – and no-one knows.”
The actor is working with Barbara Broccoli – executive director of the Bond films – on Broadway in New York where he is starring in Othello.
