We can draw infererences based on various factors at our disposal but at the end of the day, as I've said for some time, this is all just speculation because nobody has all the facts. Him staying is speculation. Him leaving is speculation as well. Nobody knows anything and everything is up in the air. It's an exciting time to be a Bond fan, and I look forward to EON giving us some sliver of news this year (not necessarily this week) that will reward our continued loyalty & faith in the franchise.
Both the wrist-slashing and money comments were in the same interview (Time Out London). Note: you'll have to scroll quite a ways down to find both. The wrist slashing remark got played up by other outlets summarizing this interview.

WTF is wrong with your people? It's madness.
As for the rest of the constant people expressing their displeasement with this thread, why the hell are you surprised? This happens with every single Bond production. When there's nothing to talk about; no news to drive us toward a discussion, things can get out of hand in terms of speculation. Like I said, this is a damn Internet forum. Instead of babbling on about how much you hate this thread, site back, relax, have a beer, and watch the events unfold as they happen. As always, thank you for your two cents.
Yes, yes, and yes... for anyone to take what a bookie say as fact... it IS madness... Reaper is correct. There ARE some facts that are as plain as day.
Everything beyond that is wishful thinking.
Pierce Brosnan was announced as the fifth James Bond on June 4th 1994. Goldeneye started filming 16th January 1995.
Daniel Craig was announced as the sixth James Bond three months before filming started on Casino Royale - announced 14th October 2005, CR began filming 3rd January 2006 - on so it's very doubtful/unlikely the next James Bond will be announced this month. Spring or summer 2017 would seem more likely.
Delaying until spring/summer of next year allows EON enough time to check out all candidates - some new actors may be leaving drama schools and getting roles. This could mean some new candidates worth considering. Announcing the new actor this month could mean losing out on new talent.
These days, prospect's schedules are being filled faster and faster. Disney in particular is grabbing everyone English with a pulse who knows how to act, and successful tv shows are grabbing the rest.
A solid actor locked down could even influence the amount of a studio bid, I would think. I'm pretty sure preliminary discussions on potential actors have been had with studio heads.
So I wouldn't be surprised if casting choices are made sooner than in the past. Whether they are announced is another matter.
That's good to know then. I guess the media switches sides so easily, it will work just fine.
Yes, in between they all wanted Connery back.
Just my thoughts
We're anxious fans. And from an interview of MGW Craig has an option for a 5th.
We got Heads you die last month and a new novel is coming out this fall.
Many are interested in who will be 007.
Not to mention it's only been a couple of months since the last film was released on Blu-ray/DVD.
I would love if within the next year (assuming it takes a year between now and when MGM to get a distributer for the following things to happen)
Ubisoft get the rights to do video games based on 007 and do the first one with Fiennes as M and Craig as 007 calling it Colonel sun and basing it off the novel (which means IFP can re release the book)
Eon brings the following people on as consultants (similar to Mendes in 2010) Pierre Morrel and writers Chris Mcquarrie (if he can write Star Wars and Mission impossible surely he can do a treatment for 007) Jez Butterworth and David Farr (writer of the night manager mini series)
IFP announce a new bond novel either by Horrowitz again (I will get around to reading trigger Morris I promise) or better yet Daniel Silva (announcing it will be set in the modern world and a sequel of sorts to Carte Blanche meaning that they can re release that novel as well)
And there you go with all of that we will have plenty to discuss while MGM tries to figure out.
I was originally planning to do so but I decided to wait for the TPB. I just don't think I can enjoy reading Bond bit by bit. I want the whole thing and for that I'm willing to wait.
Unfortunately for us, @SonofSean is bang on the money. The above is all we know, apart from DC has an option on a fifth film.
The reality of the film biz would suggest we need a distributor to hash out with BB if they even want DC back (I'd guess, just a guess, that if they did, it would strongly be based on locking him in for two films (so they could make bank on his last couple before engaging on the marathon of finding a new Bond); then they'd hafta sit down with DC to get his temperature. Which means they'd dangle another producing credit, and a script and/or scripts/outline/outlines that would challenge him as an actor and takes him into territory he feels he hasn't done yet.
If he declines, then the distributor and BB will be forced on the marathon search, whilst developing story ideas for a new Bond, and a new director....
Saying all of this is pointless since we're not even at step one: the distributor....
Ouch.
