    Craig trashes report of two-part Bond film

    MUMBAI: British Daniel Craig has trashed reports of a possible two-part James Bond film after Skyfall. To prove his point, he has categorically said that there is no way a Bond film could be divided into two parts.
    “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,” Craig said in a statement.
    “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,” he added.
    The 44-year-old has played 007 in the last three installments of the British spy film franchise.
    Rumors that Bond 24 and Bond 25 would present a storyline that crosses in two successive films first sparked when writer John Logan was confirmed to work on two more Bond films.
    The twenty-fourth installment will likely begin filming at Pinewood Studios next year and the film is projected for a fall 2014 release.
