Daniel Craig was offered $ 150 million to return to "Bondiana"

After Daniel Craig said he was leaving the James Bond franchise, Sony's producers rushed to look for a replacement for the actor, but without finding a suitable candidate for the role of a super agent, they are ready to do anything to bring it back to the project. The company promised Craig a $ 150 million reward if he changes his mind.

The most expensive and successful

Daniel Craig has already played 007 on the big screens four times. For his last film "Spectrum" he received $ 60 million, which is a record fee of "Bondiana". His predecessors were ready to act in the role, which many actors dream about, for much more modest sums. For example, Sean Connery starred in "Diamonds forever" for only 6.7 million, while Pierce Brosnan was paid 16.5 million for participation in "Die, but not today".

Films with Craig were very successful, in addition, the audience fell in love with Bond in his performance. Sony bosses are afraid that another, albeit famous person of the protagonist, will reduce the popularity of cinema franchise pictures.

Great temptation

As the foreign press reports, having weighed all the pros and cons, the company made the actor a very tempting offer, from which it will be difficult to refuse. If Daniel returns to the set, he will receive as much as $ 150 million for two films about an agent with two zeros, which he plans to shoot one by one.

In the spring Sony already tried to get Craig by offering him 100 million. The actor refused, but later added that he could agree from mercantile considerations. Well, the rates go up!
