Daniel Craig Thinks A Two-Film Bond Story Arc Is Impossible
A few days ago, it was revealed that screenwriter John Logan ('Skyfall') had been hired to write the next two films in the James Bond franchise. Furthermore, it was said that the idea he pitched to Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the legendary Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, involved a story arc that stretched across two movies. This seemed like both good news and a done deal, but then current James Bond Daniel Craig spoke up in denial of that two-movie arc news. Here's what he said when asked if it was really happening...
"No, I don't know where that's come from. It's impossible to do a two parter, I heard that someone was talking about that we're doing a two parter, but that's the first I've heard about it. We can only do them one at a time, they take six months to shoot. You can't write one movie thinking about the next. All we're trying to do is get the next one sorted out and it'll stand on its own and if I'm able I'll do another one after that."
But does this really mean the rumor of a two-film Bond story arc is debunked? Absolutely not. What's more likely is that there hasn't been an official production meeting with the cast and crew about the plan for the next two movies. It is also likely that Craig is concerned about his contract and is therefore more interested in each Bond film being compartmentalized. While it is true that he signed a multi-film deal last winter, the comment about "if I'm able I'll do another one" is a bit concerning. The thing that I find funny about this is how adamant Craig is that a two-parter is impossible when the last two films were sort of a two-part story. Now granted, 'Quantum of Solace' did a spectacularly poor job of finishing up that story, but to say it's impossible is to ignore the structure of the last two films. I don't think this interview quote should be taken as anything more than Craig's opinion and no indication that the news of how Bond 24 and 25 will be setup is false.
What do you guys think? Why would Craig say this? Is he right? At least in the sense that another two-part Bond story maybe shouldn't be attempted?

Also, the way you guys are interpreting is incorrect. Some people in the comments understood this already, but he's literally talking about the filming schedule.
Filming the equivalent of two movies takes significantly more time than filming one. Just look at how long the Hobbit two parter took to film, a REALLY long time. Way longer than 6 months. And like others said, he has other acting jobs, and is busy.
Still not appreciating how people want a new Bond already, he is and will always be the best one.

I disagree that Quantum of Solace did a bad job wrapping up stuff, you can't blame the movie for not having a follow up sequel.
Besides, QoS was way more focused on James' quest...well to find solace, and Camille's quest to find vengeance. So yeah, Quantum (the organization), ended up not being finished, but the character arc of Bond was significant across the two movies. You felt a sense of closure at the end, that his initial arc was finished, and now he's really stepped into his 00 status.
I don't know, people give me shit about having QoS being my second favorite movie ever, Casino Royale being the first, but it did have closure.

IMO, each bond movie should be it's own story.
But if you're going to do a 2-parter, I would like to see the concept of seeing a new agent being trained by being with Bond on a mission (effectively Bond's sidekick) at about halfway in the beginning/middle part of the first film and at the end of the second film, Bond retires and the new agent is given the 007 status.....or something similar like that.
......Oops. I may have insulted Bond's fandom.

A two part Bond movie would be very risky...But not impossible....

I think he's concerned that it takes like 2 years to turn around a single Bond film, heck Skyfall was in danger of not getting made at all if I recall. He's getting older and thinks they may not want him much longer if the next film comes in 2015 he'd be almost 50 by the time the one after that is done. But if the next 2 films are constructed smartly they can be filmed at the same time and cut down the length of production time altogether.

So some people are ready to write off one of the best Bonds in the history of the franchise to go with Idris Elba? It's okay to speculate and all but it comes off sounding fickle.

Idris Elba, if you watch any British TV has played similar action-ish type roles. I think he's got the chops, and it'd be very interesting if he did become Bond!

After hearing the possible news of Elba taking over I really don't care what craigslist says about what he is or isn't doing.

Yeah, let's think about Daniel Craig here guys. Unlike Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and Roger Moore, he has acting gigs outside of James Bond. He's an actor; not an action hero. For instance, the prospect of shooting The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest back to back with David Fincher.
