So well =D>
Some people don't think Craig is particularly charming or particularly Bond looking. In theory if the next Bond actor were more charming, more Bond looking and still delivered the blunt persona that Craig gave to Bond, he could be better. In this respect, I believe Craig is like all the previous Bond actors - eminently disposable. Also, it was claimed Sony studio execs were upset about Craig's slashing wrists comment. I doubt some at Sony or MGM will be crying if Craig has gone.

Making films is a business, it's not some"I love actors" fan club. Barabra Broccoli won't lose much or any sleep if Craig has gone. She's a businesswoman first, friend of Craig's second. Craig is easily disposable and to suggest otherwise is to be naive about the film business.
And I would say that both MGM and Barbara won't take Craig's leave as easy as you think. For the former, he's a guaranteed bankable Bond to levels we haven't see since Sean, and for the latter, it's clear that Barbara enjoys Craig as a collaborator beyond his screen acting, and every time she's asked about him she breathlessly proclaims that she'll keep him around as long as she can. She loves Dan, big time. I'm sure she's shot jealous daggers at Rachel on more than a few occasions, too. ;)
Agreed. I'm sure most would be very happy to look as good when reaching that age.

Never came across this. There were hardly any interviews, if any at all with her post SF.
I don't expect Warner will emerge it, most likely to be Disney. Besides, personally, MGM & Disney are having a great time between 1989 and 2008 when they having a licensing contract in 1985 for a theme park called 'Disney-MGM Studios' (now Disney's Hollywood Studios).
Also, Disney and MGM together, to date, made the only film 'The Brothers Grimm; release on August 26th 2005 under the Dimension Films label.
So MGM may, perhaps, getting a deal with Walt Disney Pictures since The Brothers Grimm to allow MGM's films to be released under it's partner banner.
I suspect that the Disney-MGM merger may come within 20 years! There's still time for the Bond 25 announcement this month.
BTW, I've got very well connections between Disney and James Bond for 4 years since I've start studying the future James Bond distributor in 2012 before I've joined the forum.
All we have to do is... Hold your breath for the upcoming announcement.
"Our asylums are full of people who think they're Napoleon..." ;)
At a personal level B Broccoli may be upset if Craig has gone but I recall seeing the QOS press conference and B Broccoli made a comment about the budget being too high. If the Daily Mail report is accurate and EON were prepared to pay Craig some crazy amount for two more Bond films it does go against the perception B Broccoli likes to keep control of the money and not let costs spiral out of control - (I accept SPECTRE was incredibly costly!). Basically, what I mean is, it might be better to let Craig go, it's clear he's not that desperate to return!, and recast with a much cheaper actor. Perhaps the MGM executives would prefer to go with a cheaper actor to keep costs down? Anyway, if Craig has gone then the studio is saving some money.
This time, BB FOUGHT for original locations instead of staying in London - for example for the italian villa. She had NO probems at all to spend, spend, spend...if DC doesn't want the part anymore, no money in the world will convince him. It didn't, when he had none (in comparison) - so why would it now. He is not up for sale and never was.
And don't let us debate the money quote again. He proved, he isn't cut like that.
Your obsession with all things Disney as distributor has gotten just creepy now.
And yeah they've made more films with WB and successful ones at that.
MGM trying to go back into distributing its own makes way more sense and would explain the delay. The partnership Sony as we all know was not all that great for Sony.
Would also explain why Bond every 4 years
...they can't afford it.
