While some are ready to begin looking forward to the next James Bond, perhaps it's a good time to relish the time left with Daniel Craig, who has helped usher the spy franchise to new heights. Reports that Craig has had his last martini may be exaggerated as he told the Daily Mail recently that he's not going anywhere for a while yet...
“I work myself to death. It’s getting harder. But such is life. I’ll keep going as long as I’m physically able. I’m contracted for one more – but I’m not going to make predictions.”
Craig had something similar to say when pressed on the issue by EW, but added that perhaps the only thing he needs is a little time off...
“I can’t give you an honest answer at this point. It’s not that I’m trying to play hard to get. I’ve just given it no thought whatsoever. This movie has taken up two years of my life. And I just need a break. I need to get back to normal life. I need to reintroduce myself to my family who are not best pleased with me. The idea of planning ahead — I’m not trying to be coy. People want an answer and I don’t have one.”
So there's at least one more movie with Craig and then...well, all bets are off. Spectre opens in just a few weeks on November 6th, and the final action-packed trailer has been released. While brief, this one has all of the espionage thrills we've come to expect from Bond, along with glimpses at the lovely ladies played by Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci, not to mention Christoph Waltz as the villain, who may or may not be classic bad guy Ernst Blofeld.
