It looks like the future of 007 is in good hands as Daniel Craig has signed on to do four more movies.MGM head Harry Sloan has revealed that Craig will now stay with the Bond franchise until Bond 25.He was originally contracted to do three movies but after the success of Casino Royale his contract has been extended as well as a renegotiation on his fee, making him Britain's highest paid actor.Craig was a controversial choice when he was unveiled as Pierce Brosnan's departure. Many of the press were critical of the choice and fans threatened to boycott the film when it was released.However Casino Royale, which was released last November broke the international box office records of Die Another Day grossing almost $600 million.It was also the first Bond film to get a mainland China release.Craig's new contract will put him just one film behind Sean Connery, who starred as Bond on six occasions, and two behind Roger Moore.Helen Earnshaw
