Director Marc Forster says no to Bond 23, Craig commits

"Quantum of Solace" director Marc Forster has confirmed he will not be back for the follow-up adventure "Bond 23".

"If I would ever do a big movie again in that size," he said, "it has to be my own franchise, which I would create from scratch, which I would cast, create the look and really create the franchise on my own."

How about 007 himself? "I want them to stand alone and be good films," Daniel Craig said. "As long as that continues, then we'll keep making them. And if it doesn't, then we'll stop."

Producer Michael G. Wilson has indicated there will be a breather before the 23rd James Bond film starts pre-production, meaning it may be more than two years before Craig is seen as 007 for a third time.
