Daniel Craig is gearing up for his last Bond outing on the big screen and fans across the globe are obviously excited, albeit a little heart broken as well.

However, even though it might be his last Bond flick, there won’t be any regrets for the movie star, as he is taking home a big fat pay check of around 50 million pounds, which is Rs. 450 crores!

The new feather of being an Executive Producer, in his already heavy cap, will catapult him into becoming one of the highest paid actors in the history of cinema. Frankly, there is no comparison of his earnings with his predecessors who have played the iconic role of James Bond. George Lazenby made around £72,000 per movie, whereas Roger Moore got around £17 million for all the spy movies he did. Pierce Brosnan also made around £13 million from four films.

Danny Boyle, the Oscar-winning filmmaker is donning the Director’s hat for this one. The makers are justifying the amount Craig is getting as ‘Spectre’ made over $800 million and ‘Skyfall’ raked in over $1 billion before they even sold DVD, streaming and the TV rights.

The 25th Bond movie is slated to release in November 2019. Let’s see how it fares at the box-office, since Rs. 450 crores is an insane amount of money to pay someone to catch fake criminals on screen.
