Well it was broadcast a bit over an hour ago apparently. I don't know the exact time he said it, it was not live, surely...
He did? I looked back and still didn't find him posting it, but oh well...
Is CR a fluke or is campbell a genius.
Top of previous page (943).
Seesh.
One of many links now, I'm sure:

Couldn't be happier for Dan, and it's great to see that he and EON were finally put in a place where they could make all the right moves and give us this news. For a minute I believed the reports that he was still deliberating, but I'm happy to see it was all a game on his end to wait for the right moment. I wouldn't expect Dan to play a waiting game with EON, and true to his character he hasn't.
I hope this can finally end all the tedious suggestions of certain fans about who will be Bond next, and that we can cool that nonsense for another two years at least. Daniel Craig was James Bond, has been James Bond, but will still be James Bond for a while longer still. No talks about Bond #7 are needed, as they don't matter with this news. So very sorry for all the sad actors out there tonight, robbed of their shot. The Hiddlestons and Turners of the performance world must wait in the wings a tad longer for their chance, hopefully using the time to grow some hair on their chests if the time comes when they're in the running. Our boy has a little left in him.
Prepare to report to duty, 007.
A-freaking-men.
TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are certain "yous" I am addressing. LOL
@TripAces, I commented a year or so ago that I wanted to whip out an "I told you so" when this moment inevitably came, but wanted to feign my maturity and give a quiet celebration. ;) I'm glad you went for it. "I told you so," indeed. Vindication is a helluva thing, wouldn't you say?
Turns out that Dan's New Yorker interview from all those months ago really wasn't him just playing nice while planning his exit, toying with EON. Turns out he meant what he said, that he loved the job, saw SP as "to be continued" and would miss it if he left, implying he was still attached. Who would've thought, right?
My excitement for his return is meet equally with my relief that such ignorant and foolish postulations as the above (and really much of what we've seen in the last 943 pages by the usual suspects) can cease.
Final results
Do you think Craig will return for Bond 25?
Final Results
When do you guess the next Bond film will premiere?
The people shall get what the people desire.
Ohh...the plot is thicker than molasses.
I voted 2019 and a Daniel Craig return
We all have out hopes and ideas about it but in the end EON will also have realized that repeating the "family thing" in SPECTRE did not work as well as it did (for the majority I think) in Skyfall.
I am torn about seeing Blofeld back again - I would prefer they keep him in prison and like "Doctor Mabuse" pulling strings from there at the most.
I would love to see Bond back in Jamaica for a good part of the movie, also would like at least some underwater sequences. Please bring back Q, M and Moneypenny ... but back in their usual spot ... even I liked Moneypenny to visit Bond in his appartement.
Before SP I was so keen on getting a script that is based on OHMSS - because the storyline suites the Craig era so well. But I am over with it to be honest and would be more than happy to see him more Casino Royale-like ... and teamed up with Felix again (that would be my #1 wish actually). There's so much stuff in the novels where Bond and Felix work together - would be awesome to bring him back.
I am very excited now ... very happy.
@Tuulia, interesting. I wonder when we'll get proper details on distribution. Dan has been on the same terms with EON for months now and knew he'd be back, so they finally reached a deal with someone. I'm honestly surprised we haven't heard more rumblings on the distribution side, which was the real tangible issue with the production not firing up and not these faux bets on who will replace Dan, which were always smoke and mirror click-bait.
Amen.
Certainly, those of us who have followed Craig closely, especially his career as Bond, saw the "writing on the wall." The slash the wrists comment was overblown and taken out of context; he has said repeatedly how much he enjoys the role (even though it has its drawbacks); he has a close relationship with Babs, who will go to the end of the earth for him; he will likely co-produce; he has likely been given more creative control; and the last three reasons tie in with the studio deal that EON is negotiating.
