'Casino Royale' hasn't even opened in cinemas (for that matter, it hasn't even finished production), but the once much derided actor bringing the 007 agent to life has already been offered a second part.
Apparently, producers are so satisfied with Craig's performance and portrayal of the sexy and alluring Bond, James Bond that they made him an offer and what was called the poorer substitute of Pierce Brosnan accepted.
On Thursday, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the 21st Bond adventure, said in a statement:
'As we wrap production on "Casino Royale", we couldn't be more excited about the direction the franchise is heading with Daniel Craig. Daniel has taken the origins of Ian Fleming's James Bond portraying, with emotional complexity, a darker and edgier 007.'
They refused to offer any hints as to the title or plot of the next Bond movie, but they did say that it will be ready for release no later than May 2008. 'Casino Royale' opens in cinemas this November.
