Recall that the bets were accepted after it became known that Daniel Craig decided to retire. Recently, the actor often criticized the “James bond” and in the end rejected by the unusually high fee, citing the fact that the shooting in the franchise taken away from him too long and he now hopes to spend more time with family and away from the prevailing image of the superspy, more working on new projects. As for the Houston – maybe the fans will not see it in the image of an elegant 007, however, in September the screens will scale the peplum “Ben Hur” Timur Bekmambetov, in which Jack played a major role.
