Dec 19th
Speaking to People.co.uk about the latest installment in the Bond franchise, ‘Skyfall,’ “James Bond” producer Michael G. Wilson has revealed that he would like Daniel Craig to star in five more 007 flicks – hoping Craig will become the longest serving James Bond actor, surpassing up Roger Moore’s seven appearances: “Daniel’s been a terrific Bond, a superb actor and a terrific man. The fans love him and I don’t think there’s a better actor to play the part… It’s certainly something we’ll be discussing with him once we finish shooting ‘Skyfall.’”
“Filming has gone very well so far and I’d love Daniel to surpass Roger’s record and do eight pictures. Daniel’s been an absolute pleasure to be around because he takes the role so seriously. There’s really no one more passionate about making these films work than him – he’s a filmmaker’s dream. A lot of people have said Daniel’s been their favorite Bond since Sean Connery and I can’t argue with them. He’s doing a great job.”
