Craig to earn 50 mn pounds for his role

Actor Daniel Craig will reportedly earn 50 million pounds for his role in the next James Bond film. He had reportedly got 37 million pounds for the 2015 Bond film “Spectre”. Craig’s new deal will be thanks to an ¬executive producer credit, endorsements and profits, as well as his wages, reports mirror.co.uk. The film is likely to run for around two hours and 20 minutes, which would mean the 50-yearold ¬banking 357,000 pounds per ¬minute of screen time. He will start five months of filming in December, ahead of a planned release in -autumn next year. He previously stated that he would rather “slash his wrists” than return to the role, but later said that he made the remarks two days after he finished shooting “Spectre” and was exhausted. Oscar-winner Danny B o y l e w i l l e a r n about ¬seven million pounds for directing the as-yet-untitled film.
