DANIEL CRAIG INTERVIEWED ON "BOND 24"

As reported last week, screenwriter John Logan will be writing the next two James Bond films. However, Daniel Craig tells the press that the two stories will not be linked and even if they are, they would not be shot back-to-back like the last two Harry Potter films or the last Back To The Future film.

“No, I don’t know where that’s come from. It's impossible to do a two parter, I heard that someone was talking about that we’re doing a two parter, but that’s the first I’ve heard about it. We can only do them one at a time, they take six months to shoot. You can’t write one movie thinking about the next. All we’re trying to do is get the next one sorted out and it’ll stand on its own and if I’m able I’ll do another one after that.”

Daniel Craig is also trying to get Sam Mendes to direct BOND 24. “If Sam were to do the next one, which would be great, we have set up an awful lot of ideas and we have still got other things to play around with. I love working with him. He allows me to relax and get on with my job.”

Apparently, MGM told the press that “Daniel has made it very clear that Sam should direct the next film. He and Sam have been plotting out story ideas but no executive has given them a yes yet.”
