  - Mrs Clinton. ..M....it's all coming together man -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 13:51
I...why exactly is Craig able to leverage them so much? - Will Hunting Sep 5, 12:47 29
- This would be for more than making the movies - it's about selling Omega watches, Tom Ford suits and Aston Martins. Craig is instantly recognizable as - Roger More Sep 5, 13:02 7

    - Of course it would be. Like when its in kevin harts contracts to utilize his Twitter and Instagram followers - Remliks phone Sep 5, 15:26 1

    - It was (reportedly) when the deal was $100 million for two movies. - Roger More Sep 5, 14:28 2

        It's a franchise that has multi-movie contracts with several major brands who want the movie's star promoting their products. - Roger More Sep 5, 16:53
  - I am sure the international box office totals also had something to do with the offer amount -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 5, 13:08
- because he's the best Bond (save the obvious one) -- nm - mud Sep 5, 12:50 20
  - Right. Dalton. He ws in some crap movies but he was damn good. - Remliks phone Sep 5, 15:25 1
    - Licence to Kill holds up really well, IMO. -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 15:34
  - He is good, I like him, but he has been there a decade. No contingency plan is absurd. - Will Hunting Sep 5, 13:09 3
    - Unless this is their "well, he turned down that so what could we have done?" Justification for a new guy. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 5, 13:33 2
      - I think it's more that the contingency plans - Hiddlestone, Turner, Bell, etc - didn't work out. -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 13:37 1
        
        Oh, the other thing is that a new and cheaper Bond makes it easier for Bond to end up at another studio. -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 13:43
  - 3rd behind Roger Moore and Connery -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 12:54 13
    - and Dalton. and Brosnan. and Lazenby. and David Niven -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 5, 12:54 11
      - Woody Allen? -- nm - mud Sep 5, 12:56 9
        
        i don't count Little Jimmy Bond as a real James Bond -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 5, 12:56 8
        
        Connery and Craig. The others do not exist. -- nm - mud Sep 5, 13:00 7
        
        don't make me fight you... -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 13:29 6
        
        Old people love Connery -- nm - Bacon Sep 5, 13:30 5
        
        give me Moore's smarm and shit eating grins over the rest any day -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 13:31 4
        
        I agree with you. Roger was the best -- nm - Bacon Sep 5, 15:33
        
        I didn't like the corny villains nor the self mockery ,near batman tv show cartoonishness , conner and Craig were serious -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 14:01 2
        
        I would like to see them in eachotther's films. Like, Pierce or Dalton doing the modern takes back then. - Spawn Sep 5, 14:11 1
        
        You know what i disagree. Criag is damn good. Its Sam Mendes who overstayed his welcome directing - Remliks phone Sep 5, 15:28
      - Brosnan wasn't even Bond. He was just in action movies that happened to have Bond in them -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 12:56
    - [snork] -- nm - mud Sep 5, 12:54
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. -- nm - David Sep 5, 12:01 7
- I know it's been hell for Craig, but for that kind of $, you'd be setting up the next 3 generations of Craigs-- for 2 years work -- nm - Flavorize Sep 5, 12:02 6
  - so does it apply to random people named Craig, or... -- nm* - Reagen Sep 5, 14:55
  - he can also buy Skyfall -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 5, 13:08
  - Yep. That's liberating money. You do not say No to that. - Mel Profit Sep 5, 12:47
  - huh? -- nm - mud Sep 5, 12:08
  - yep. -- nm - Remlik Sep 5, 12:04
  - yup -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 12:04
