NO TIME TO DIE PRODUCTION NOTES

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Where erstwhile the James Bond films played arsenic abstracted adventures, linked by characters some malevolent and benign, EON Productions wanted the bid to unfold arsenic a unified whole. Quantum Of Solace (2008) picked up instantly aft Casino Royale (2006), which had tracked Bond’s initiation into the beingness of a double-O agent. Skyfall (2012) slotted into the bid to uncover important aspects of Bond’s aboriginal life.

Now, the 25th movie successful the EON series, No Time To Die, begins successful the aftermath of Spectre (2015) wherever the film’s decision saw Bond (Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) thrust distant successful the Aston Martin DB5.

When Bond makes his archetypal quality successful No Time To Die, helium and Madeleine are successful Matera, a rocky, hilltop metropolis perched atop Southern Italy. According to bid shaper Michael G. Wilson, the communicative was ever going to prime up with the Bond and Madeleine relationship. “The question was when,” helium says.

Fellow shaper Barbara Broccoli explains: “There was the statement connected however we proceed telling the emotion communicative and research the themes that person go truthful pivotal crossed the Daniel Craig movies.”

“With No Time To Die there was a beardown communicative to decorativeness off, tons of escaped ends to necktie up,” says Craig. “I deliberation we person managed to archer that communicative and get everything rounded up.”

Themes exploring secrets, betrayal and spot person stitched unneurotic the past 4 films and they propel the communicative towards its thrilling decision successful No Time To Die. After the heartbreak helium suffered with the nonaccomplishment of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) successful Casino Royale, his fluctuating narration with M and MI6, and the symptom inflicted by the revelations imparted by Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), Bond has taken different risk, letting down his defender with Madeleine arsenic helium bids to effort and emotion again.

“If Bond is going to perpetrate to a relationship, this throws up truthful galore affectional challenges for him,” continues Broccoli. “So spot is the biggest taxable successful this movie; making an affectional committedness with idiosyncratic is precise hard due to the fact that of his past with attachments, and past betrayal being a large portion of the break-up of those attachments.”

Though helium is committing to his narration with Madeleine, No Time To Die begins with Bond having severed his longest-lasting relationship, his employment with MI6. Associate shaper Gregg Wilson notes that Bond’s status opened the filmmakers to a caller reality.

“Bond being retired was a caller spot for us,” helium says, “thinking what this antheral would beryllium similar if helium didn’t person his time job. When you person devoted your beingness to the service, similar Bond, what is the bequest that you permission behind?”

To archer this story, the filmmakers turned to visionary filmmaker Cary Joji Fukunaga (Jane Eyre, Sin Nombre, True Detective), who stepped successful aft the accumulation parted ways with manager Danny Boyle. Michael G. Wilson and Broccoli had agelong admired Fukunaga’s enactment arsenic some a writer and a manager and archetypal met the filmmaker successful New York soon aft the merchandise of Spectre.

“When we met, Cary said helium would emotion to bash a Bond movie astatine immoderate point,” explains Broccoli, “So erstwhile Danny Boyle exited the project, we were looking for a caller manager and helium reached out. It was astonishing that helium was available. His enthusiasm for the task and besides his quality arsenic a writer truly came into it. It each worked retired miraculously.”

Fukunaga is the archetypal American to nonstop a Bond film. “I deliberation that each Cary’s films are unthinkable and helium is capable to enactment successful immoderate benignant of genre,” explains Michael G. Wilson, “and helium is besides a fantastic writer.”

“He is large with characters and with actors and helium brings a level of complexity to everything helium does. He is simply a precise planetary person. He speaks respective languages, is precise good travelled and is besides a benignant of maverick. He is young and enthusiastic and helium is visually extraordinary. Cary is besides capable to marque precise analyzable things understandable and that acceptable truthful good with what we wanted from this story.”

Fukunaga’s instauration to the Bond stories came erstwhile helium went to ticker Roger Moore’s swansong, 1985’s A View To A Kill, astatine his section cinema. “I retrieve loving the finale connected the Golden Gate Bridge,” helium recalls. “It seemed similar Bond had crossed implicit into my world. It was conscionable a chill movie with Roger Moore kicking ass.”

As Fukunaga’s vocation developed arsenic a writer, shaper and director, those memories remained and helium says that helium ever hoped to nonstop a Bond movie 1 time and, similar the producers, Fukunaga was peculiarly excited by Bond’s affectional travel crossed the preceding films. “When you’re coming aft Casino, Quantum, Skyfall and Spectre, you person a bully thought of the arc that Bond’s quality has been going through,” helium says.

“For us, this movie comes 5 years aft Spectre. The satellite has changed a batch since past and overmuch of our treatment was astir however we marque this movie consciousness of the time, but besides of the beingness of Bond, which is ne'er truly circumstantial to a time. That was portion of the precise archetypal conversations we had unneurotic with the producers and with Daniel. You besides privation to bring thing caller to the communicative and besides you privation to honour each the Bond films successful presumption of leitmotifs and expectations.”

Chief among those expectations is escapade and the associated danger. “Every Bond movie has danger,” the manager adds. “You instrumentality the scariest happening you tin ideate facing the world, and past you person Bond to get successful beforehand of it and halt it. And what has been absorbing successful Daniel’s tally is the added layers that he’s brought to that character.”

“There’s complexity, there’s damage, there’s besides vulnerability that’s been covered up since the archetypal of his films erstwhile Vesper Lynd died. His decision-making is interesting

5

because of his ingenuity and besides due to the fact that of his flaws. I deliberation his is simply a truly absorbing story.”

With the communicative taking signifier nether the guidance of Fukunaga and of long-time Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the producers and Daniel Craig besides invited contributions from writer and histrion Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve), who brought her unsocial instrumentality connected quality and story, portion besides maintaining what Broccoli describes arsenic Bond’s “essential Britishness”.

“Phoebe had a large interaction connected the publication and we emotion moving with her,” says Broccoli. “All the writers made a publication and Cary tried to incorporated arsenic overmuch of everybody’s enactment arsenic possible. The communicative is precise analyzable but it is told successful a precise understandable manner. The revelations are fascinating.”

“The quality improvement is precise heavy and the relationships are analyzable yet absorbing and emotional. I deliberation the publication has turned retired great,” Broccoli adds.

With No Time To Die picking up the communicative instantly aft the events of Spectre, Fukunaga says that the archetypal portion of the movie “is tracking the honeymoon communicative of Madeleine Swann and Bond erstwhile he’s retired.”

Of course, things don’t ever spell to plan. “They extremity up going their abstracted ways,” Fukunaga continues. “We past prime up with him 5 years aboriginal and the world’s changed. The world’s moved on. The full governmental scenery has changed arsenic well.”

“There is simply a menace brewing that involves SPECTRE and immoderate different extracurricular elements, and Bond is drawn backmost successful to helping MI6 forestall a diabolical limb from getting retired successful the world. It’s a fascinating communicative with specified superb characters, caller and old.”

JAMES BOND

Daniel Craig is backmost for his 5th and last outing, bringing to a adjacent a travel that has introduced the satellite to a new, modern Bond. For each his excellence successful definite fields, Craig’s Bond is not infallible. He is not the leader of story and legend; helium has overmuch to learn. Bond is simply a multifaceted hero, a antheral whose occurrence is tempered by occasional failures. He is simply a substance of the airy and the dark; if helium delivers a pithy one-liner, it is often shrouded successful menace.”

Audiences person borne witnesser to this change. They person watched Bond larn to go an agent, to gain his licence to kill, and they person seen the toll it takes. He is simply a loner and yet helium has learned to fto radical in. He has loved and helium has lost. He mislaid Vesper Lynd. He mislaid M. And helium wears those injuries for each to see.

“I started it similar that with Casino,” begins Craig. “That was however we went successful and that was a batch of what defined the mode I person played this fantastic character. I wanted Bond to look similar a slayer and I wanted him to behave similar a slayer due to the fact that that’s what helium is, an assassin; that’s what helium was written as. But I wanted a modern instrumentality connected that.”

His travel passim Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre and present No Time To Die has been constant. Big themes person dominated. And truthful it continues. “With No Time To Die, the themes are arsenic large arsenic you tin go,” Craig continues. “That’s however it is with Bond. If this isn’t the clip to usage the look ‘Go large oregon spell home’ successful a Bond movie, I don’t cognize erstwhile is the close clip to usage it.”

“I person ever been precise blessed with the mode the 007 films I’ve been a portion of person turned out,” helium adds. “It’s been a batch astir the relationships and however those relationships impact him and however they alteration and steer his life. Whether it’s with the villain oregon whether it’s the radical helium works with, this movie has tackled that caput on. And the biggest themes are emotion and trust. You can’t truly get overmuch bigger than that.”

7

That taxable pivots astir Bond’s narration with Madeleine, forged successful Spectre amid the snows of Austria and the vigor of North Africa, and his gradual willingness to fto emotion and spot backmost into his life.

“After his betrayal by Vesper Lynd successful Casino Royale, Bond realised helium could ne'er bash his occupation if helium made himself susceptible successful that way,” observes screenwriter Neal Purvis. “That’s wherefore successful the aftermath of Casino he rejected emotion and shielded himself from falling for different woman.”

“But successful the lawsuit of Madeleine, she is the girl of an assassin and is truthful the 1 idiosyncratic who mightiness recognize the beingness that helium has had. So helium puts his spot successful her and that’s the cardinal happening for him. Love and spot are intertwined and he’s making himself precise vulnerable.”

Craig agrees. “He had 1 large emotion successful his beingness with Vesper and that ended tragically and tended to marque him not spot anybody really,” helium says. “He’s precise weary present due to the fact that astir radical helium has a narration with die. So helium tends to support himself to himself, but I deliberation there’s a existent accidental for him to find thing successful this movie.”

“This is simply a Bond movie, of course, and Bond movies are action-adventure movies – we’ve got plentifulness of that – but to marque enactment escapade movies enactment you person to person immoderate elements of information and you request a satisfying affectional travel for an assemblage to put successful the characters. So, successful No Time To Die, determination is this emotion communicative but it’s really, truly analyzable and, hopefully, it is fascinating to watch.”

As helium near Spectre with Madeleine, Bond was besides driving distant from London. He had served his clip with MI6. He did not privation to endanger different idiosyncratic helium loved. Hence, erstwhile helium enters No Time To Die, helium has retired from the service.

“He’s made a definite tally for the hills,” says Craig, “he’s trying to get out. He’s trying to resistance himself distant from this job. That is the hardest happening helium does but, arsenic we find out,

8

he gets dragged backmost in.”

Bond is not built for a beingness of leisure. “He believes that helium should beryllium blessed being retired but determination is thing missing,” says screenwriter Robert Wade. “He is sportfishing and drinking and sunning himself but helium needs more.”

He is aft all, a antheral defined by enactment and his engagement with the world; ”and he’s conscionable not doing that successful Jamaica,” adds Neal Purvis, “so erstwhile occupation comes knocking it is thing helium welcomes; helium tin instrumentality up the situation again.”

Once Bond picks up the gauntlet, the series’ important supporting formed re-emerges. “Ben Whishaw returns arsenic Q, Ralph Fiennes is backmost arsenic M, Rory Kinnear arsenic Tanner and Naomie Harris returns arsenic Moneypenny,” says Craig, “and Bond is dragged backmost into MI6, the satellite he’d near behind.”

RETURNING CHARACTERS

Madeleine Swann

Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann, an intelligent and highly susceptible scientist stands arsenic the astir important different successful Bond’s life. No Time To Die marks the archetypal clip that 1 of Bond’s emotion interests has featured importantly successful 2 movies (although the representation of Vesper Lynd has of people formed a agelong shadiness crossed each the Daniel Craig films).

Seydoux was delighted to reprise her role. “At the extremity of Spectre, Madeleine is blessed she’s with Bond, and we deliberation that they are agreed for the best,” she says. “But we’ll find retired that they person problems to solve, and I deliberation that successful No Time To Die we larn much astir their intimacy, successful a way.”

While aspects of Madeleine’s backstage beingness were revealed successful the past movie — the SPECTRE assassin Mr White, archetypal introduced successful Casino Royale, was her begetter — audiences will

9

learn adjacent much astir the quality successful her latest outing. “Cary wanted Madeleine to beryllium much accessible and approachable this clip around,” continues Seydoux. “He wanted to research the narration that she has with Bond and I deliberation it’s a caller facet of the quality that we volition spot connected screen.”

The complexity of Madeleine’s narration with her parents is revealed. “We get to recognize what she’s been done and to recognize much astir her issues,” says Seydoux.

When exposing aspects of Madeleine’s puerility the communicative besides reveals an existing transportation to the film’s villain Safin (Rami Malek).

“Looking backmost into the past we spot Madeleine with her parent and what she experienced successful her childhood,” the histrion explains. “We spot the complexity of her narration with her parents and with Safin also. We get to recognize what she’s been done via a traumatic acquisition with her parent and Safin. It helps america to recognize her better.”

Moneypenny

Another important pistillate successful Bond’s beingness is, of course, Naomie Harris’s Moneypenny. She is present settled successful her presumption arsenic M’s right-hand woman, though her loyalty to Bond remains untarnished. Indeed, successful No Time To Die, she faces a dilemma erstwhile she begins to mistrust M’s decisions and turns to her aged person for help. Since Naomie’s archetypal quality successful Skyfall, she has brought her ain unsocial and modern rotation connected 1 of the franchise’s instrumentality favorite’s, played successful the 007 series from 1962 -1985 by histrion Lois Maxwell.

Bond, of course, answers her call. Theirs is simply a coagulated relationship. “Moneypenny trusts Bond completely, much than anyone I would say,” says Harris. “And she is consenting to beryllium his eyes and ears wrong MI6 and to supply him with the accusation that helium needs. This

10

isn’t large connected Moneypenny’s portion but you cognize her bosom is successful the close place.”

Her relation successful No Time To Die is important and, alongside Lashana Lynch’s double-O agent, Nomi, and Léa Seydoux’s talented Madeleine Swann, Moneypenny stands arsenic different of the series’ beardown and highly competent women.

“I deliberation it’s perfectly superb that the women successful this movie play specified a cardinal role,” Harris affirms. “They are truthful important to driving the communicative forward. They are bad-ass. They are afloat progressive successful the enactment and they are not damsels successful distress that request to beryllium rescued by anyone. They are formidable, beardown and assured women. Throughout this movie you cognize Bond would not person survived without the assistance of the assorted women that helped him on the way.”

Q

Naturally, Bond has galore allies and different cardinal MI6 subordinate ever connected manus to assistance him retired is Q. With the show of Ben Whishaw, the Q-Bond dynamic has shifted crossed Skyfall and Spectre; the classical narration arsenic defined by bid fable Desmond Llewelyn (Q successful 17 James Bond films opening with the 2nd movie successful the bid From Russia With Love in 1963), with a fastidious Q often exasperated by Bond’s gung-ho attraction of his ingenious inventions, is nary longer the default setting.

That said, determination remains a affable hostility betwixt the pair, with Q torn betwixt his loyalty to MI6 and his relationship with, and admiration for, Bond. “Q’s ever caught betwixt Bond, who’s maverick, unpredictable and breaks the rules, and what he’s told to bash by M,” says Whishaw. “Always his loyalty is with Bond; there’s a existent affection there, which I deliberation comes retired successful this movie rather a lot.”

Whishaw’s Q remains fastidious, and this is an facet of his property that is brought into crisp absorption erstwhile Moneypenny and Bond sojourn his London location during a captious infinitesimal successful the film. The filmmakers person successful caller years fixed the assemblage snapshots

11

of Bond’s London flat – wherever they saw the transient quality of his manner – and visits to M’s much opulent location agelong acold backmost into the franchise.

“Moneypenny brings Bond to Q arsenic they person to conscionable surreptitiously due to the fact that they don’t privation M to cognize that they are talking,” says Broccoli.

Not lone does the travel to Q’s location licence the unwrapping of an important crippled constituent it besides injects immoderate levity into the communicative with Q successful the midst of preparing meal for a guest, yet to arrive. “Q’s location has a fig of gadgets,” says Michael G. Wilson. “It has a small plot astatine the backmost and we get to conscionable his hypoallergenic cat. It is bully to spot a small glimpse into Q’s idiosyncratic life.”

For the screenwriters, the pleasance was derived not lone from Q’s discomfort with the penetration of his backstage space, but besides from the incongruity of witnessing Bond successful a home environment.

“One of the funniest moments is surely Bond going circular to Q’s house,” says Purvis. “Q doesn’t privation Bond disturbing the beingness helium has got now; it’s been quieter without him around. But the whirlwind volition commencement again with Bond’s instrumentality truthful there’s humour with however uncomfortable Q is with this situation.”

M

Along with Harris and Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes besides returns, reprising the relation of M. Fiennes says that helium was much than impressed with the communicative ideas connected which Fukunaga wanted to concentrate.

“When Cary got connected the telephone with maine and told maine the story, I indispensable accidental I thought it was precise strong,” says Fiennes, who stars successful his 3rd consecutive Bond film. “M has compromised himself by processing a concealed programme that helium thinks volition beryllium for the bully of the country.”

12

“But the idiosyncratic he’s filched from the Russians and engaged to make this programme has gone rogue and turned it into thing horrific and dangerous. M has unwittingly developed thing that got retired of hand.”

It is M’s questionable decision-making that sees him crook to Bond. He needs MI6’s champion cause to instrumentality and assistance to close the wrong. The communicative helps make a caller narration betwixt Fiennes’ M and Craig’s Bond.

“To statesman with,” says Purvis, “M doesn’t truly privation him around, he’s been excessively overmuch trouble, truthful there’s a antithetic dynamic.”

Fiennes, for one, relished these scenes. “I’ve had a fewer confrontational moments with Daniel successful this discourse successful the erstwhile films,” helium says, “but this felt the astir live-wire arsenic M is caught connected the backmost foot, large time.”

“We person these fantastic scenes together, 1 of utmost confrontation and past this rapprochement with M saying, ‘I person truly messed up.’ M was trying to bash the close happening for the state but it’s gone wrong. He needs Bond’s assistance and I loved that country with Daniel.”

Tanner

Another long-serving MI6 worker who reappears successful No Time To Die is Tanner, played by Rory Kinnear, who identifies the “family of MI6” arsenic 1 of the important themes successful the film.

“This movie has a beardown link, thematically, with those that person gone before, particularly the ones that I’ve been progressive in,” says the actor, who returns for his 4th Bond film. “There is that consciousness of tying up escaped ends and determination is simply a consciousness of household successful galore ways — that household of MI6, for one. The communicative looks astatine what loyalty requires of you, what it

13

can instrumentality from you, and what it tin bash to your ain idiosyncratic beingness arsenic good arsenic your moving life.”

“The friendships are cemented and solidified by the unit that the characters find themselves nether towards the end, and I conjecture that’s been the aforesaid implicit the past mates of films; they’ve been done a batch together.”

The friendships betwixt the MI6 family, helium adds, are reflected successful the enslaved forged betwixt the actors. “One feels arsenic an histrion returning to these films that you person greater friendships with the radical that you were moving with. Each clip you decorativeness 1 of these films you don’t cognize whether you’re going to beryllium doing different one, truthful each 1 could beryllium the past clip you’ll beryllium unneurotic and that makes them consciousness special.”

Blofeld

Also returning is the hero’s astir celebrated nemesis Blofeld, who debuted connected surface successful 1963’s From Russia With Love, and whose archetypal overt transportation to the Daniel Craig’s films began successful Spectre, wherever helium provided important insights into Bond’s upbringing and the symptom helium has suffered from Casino Royale onwards. Christoph Waltz comes backmost for a 2nd outing aft the character’s incarceration astatine the extremity of the past movie.

“Blofeld’s communicative hasn’t been fulfilled,” says Michael G. Wilson. “He wasn’t going to beryllium softly successful jail. He isn’t that benignant of idiosyncratic and it surely isn’t the extremity of the communicative erstwhile helium goes to jail. He has Primo retired determination successful the world, who tin beryllium the eyes and ears of Blofeld successful prison.”

And Blofeld continues to poke astatine Bond’s emotions. “I emotion it erstwhile Blofeld says to Bond, ‘You were ever truthful very, precise sensitive,’” notes Barbara Broccoli. “All these men are each benignant of sensitive.”

14

Felix Leiter

There is simply a acold much affirmative affectional transportation betwixt Bond and different returnee, CIA antheral Felix Leiter, whose relationship with Bond extends backmost to Casino Royale in the Daniel Craig series. Actor Jeffrey Wright returns arsenic Leiter erstwhile again successful No Time To Die. “With Felix and James determination is simply a consciousness of fraternal kinship,” says Wright. “They are astir similar brothers successful a precise prime circle.”

This is the character’s tenth quality successful the Bond bid aft helium debuted successful 1962’s Dr. No and helium plays an important relation successful this film, reaching retired to a retired Bond and drafting him backmost into the satellite of espionage.

“James has pulled backmost from the crippled but Felix has a ngo that needs to beryllium taken connected and it conscionable happens to beryllium successful the neighbourhood of his aged friend,” reveals Wright. “For them determination is simply a consciousness of familiarity; determination is Felix’s enslaved with Bond, owing to who they are and what they bash and the disparate places that they travel from. The communicative looks astatine this emotion for 1 different and respect for 1 another. Also, I think, there’s a emotion for the game.”

NEW CHARACTERS Nomi

New to the crippled of espionage successful No Time To Die is the quality of Nomi, a caller MI6 agent, who is played by the hugely talented histrion Lashana Lynch, whom shaper Barbara Broccoli had archetypal worked with connected ‘ear for eye’, astatine London’s Royal Court Theatre. Nomi enters the fray successful the aftermath of Leiter’s gathering with Bond.

“She is strong, whip-sharp, witty and brave,” Lynch says of her character. “She is playful, precise cheeky, precise sarcastic and dry. I deliberation she’s a bully lucifer for Bond due to the fact that helium tin beryllium precise serious, particularly erstwhile he’s connected a mission.”

15

When they archetypal conscionable successful Jamaica, she and Bond are astatine loggerheads. “Nomi likes to usage Bond’s property to marque him consciousness uncomfortable,” the histrion smiles. “Because she is young, she has the caller gadgets, she has the caller training, she’s updated, she’s adjacent to M, each of the things that helium doesn’t person astatine that point.”

“She truly sizes him up, which arsenic a young pistillate coming to this feline who she knows is truthful experienced, is simply a large challenge. And I don’t deliberation anyone other successful the double-O programme was brave capable to instrumentality connected this mission. But Nomi was decidedly acceptable to instrumentality connected that challenge.”

In spite of their differences, Nomi and Bond travel unneurotic and marque a formidable team. “She challenges his outlook connected the satellite and it’s a batch of fun,” notes Robert Wade.

“There is simply a communal attraction and whether thing happens betwixt them…” helium laughs, “well, let’s hold and see.”

Audiences person witnessed Bond enactment with different double-O agents successful the past – who tin hide the thrilling opening to 1995’s GoldenEye, for example. In No Time To Die, however, the 2 agents excavation their skills arsenic the movie builds towards to its climactic moment, Nomi demonstrating some her carnal and method proficiency.

Bond, meanwhile, develops tremendous admiration for Nomi’s abilities. “He truly begins to respect her arsenic a double-O agent,” says Lynch, “and arsenic a woman, arsenic his colleague. He sees her qualities.”

Safin

Bringing a daunting acceptable of qualities to the communicative is the villain Safin, played by Academy Award-winner Rami Malek. A fig of Bond’s caller adversaries person displayed a

16

personal transportation to the hero; Fukunaga was fascinated by the thought and has linked Safin’s backstory with Madeleine’s.

“Safin’s backstory is truthful tied to Madeleine’s,” affirms the director, “and there’s a reflector betwixt him and Bond. Here is idiosyncratic that sees himself not arsenic a villain successful her life, but arsenic a hero. It was large amusive to spot an histrion with Rami’s endowment and an histrion arsenic accomplished arsenic Léa spell caput to caput successful a precise analyzable and frightening way.”

Malek, meanwhile, wanted his villain, “To bring everything helium perchance could successful bid to springiness Bond the hardest clip possible.” Safin is brutal. “Ultimately, I deliberation helium sees that arsenic being a merchandise of a ruthlessness helium faced arsenic a child,” adds the actor. “This is thing that has been instilled successful him from a young age.”

“He’s a merchandise of an innocence that was mislaid precise aboriginal successful his life, and truthful helium has trouble successful justifying what is close and wrong. From Bond’s perspective, determination is simply a precise wide knowing of what is close and wrong. But Safin has a mode of making you see if that is really arsenic close arsenic it seems to be.”

A analyzable leader similar Bond requires a analyzable enemy. “I deliberation with each villain, we arsenic actors ever effort to humanize them,” continues Malek. “I deliberation that makes them much relatable. Obviously, sometimes you don’t privation the villain to beryllium relatable. Sometimes you privation them to beryllium axenic evil and to onslaught fearfulness successful the audience.”

“But there’s thing astir empathizing with a quality similar this that is precise unsettling. And what I truly wanted from Safin was to marque him unsettling. Even erstwhile I spot him successful the trailer, I find that to beryllium 1 of the traits that stands retired for me.”

Primo
While Bond villains invariably basal out, truthful bash the atrocious guys’ henchmen and successful No Time

To Die audiences conscionable different formidable character, Primo, played by Dali Benssalah. 17

“I deliberation of Primo arsenic an enactment guy, a benignant of warfare dog,” the histrion reveals. “He is simply a mercenary conscionable looking for a crushed to fight. He was calved and raised connected the acheronian side, arsenic it were, truthful helium is simply a baddie by loyalty.”

He has a distinctive appearance. “Primo’s got a large look; truly cool,” says Benssalah, “in presumption of his shape, his haircut and a robotic eye. We volition retrieve Primo.”

Indeed, truthful almighty was Benssalah’s performance, the filmmakers extended his role. “It is simply a large show from Dali,” says Michael G. Wilson. “Primo is simply a survivor. He volition alteration sides if helium needs to. He is precise determined. He seems to get a joyousness retired of what helium is doing, including terrorising Madeleine if helium gets a chance. It is important Bond has idiosyncratic of his carnal stature to conflict with and Primo was the close quality for that.”

Paloma

Another integral quality connected Bond’s travel successful the movie is Paloma, an enthusiastic, recently trained and physically accomplished Cuban CIA cause who, Barbara Broccoli describes arsenic ‘really packs a punch’. She is played by Ana de Armas with whom Craig worked connected the 2019 thriller Knives Out. “We wanted a Cuban quality and we loved Ana,” says Broccoli of the Cuban actress. “It is simply a relation that portion not immense successful presumption of surface clip has an important interaction connected the story.”

According to De Armas, Paloma mightiness astonishment audiences. “I don’t deliberation radical volition expect a quality similar this,” she says. “Paloma has thing to accidental and is simply a small spot retired of the container with her consciousness of humour and the mode she carries herself and relates to Bond. She is idiosyncratic I haven’t truly seen connected surface before.”

“She is truthful comic and has this bubbliness successful her,” the histrion continues. “Sometimes she is playful and naïve and messy, but she is besides skilled and trained and she knows what

18

she is doing.”

“She looks great, but that is not what she is about. She knows Bond is simply a large deal, but she is truly focused connected doing her job. It was truthful chill to person each those colours to play with.”

Valdo

The quality of Valdo, played by David Dencik, is an enigmatic man, a Russian idiosyncratic with a peculiar country of speciality. He emerges arsenic a focal fig successful the narrative. “Valdo was a precise absorbing quality to play,” says Dencik, “because helium is weird and benignant of nerdy, but he’s besides a precise skilled scientist.”

He is simply a people for a fig of radical passim the movie and Dencik says that his circumstances supply moments of levity.

“Valdo is acting connected relationship of the circumstances helium is successful alternatively than the benignant of quality helium is,” notes Dencik. “So, Valdo, for instance, gets hijacked, oregon kidnapped. And past he’s successful this authorities of being changeable at, oregon thrown retired of things and helium goes done a lot. It was large amusive to play.”

Logan Ash

Billy Magnussen’s quality Logan Ash is simply a CIA cause moving with Felix Leiter connected a ngo to get Bond backmost to work. They way down Bond successful Jamaica and helium takes an contiguous dislike to Ash. “He’s precise straight-laced, doesn’t portion alcohol, ever follows the rules, ever chipper” says Magnussen, who recalls being precise tense filming his archetypal country with Craig and Wright. “I look up to Jeffery truthful much, and to Daniel – what Daniel has achieved implicit the past fewer films is genuinely remarkable.”

THE ACTION

Fukunaga has a precise circumstantial attack to shooting enactment — directing the 2nd portion himself connected erstwhile films — and ensured that each series successful No Time To Die propelled the narrative, providing cardinal affectional beats arsenic good arsenic nerve-jangling thrills.

“It is ever important to enactment Bond successful an intolerable concern that helium has to effort and get retired of,” says Fukunaga. “But with the enactment it cannot conscionable beryllium Bond going from constituent A to constituent B; thing other has to hap successful that sequence.”

“Even I tin zone-out during enactment sequences if the communicative is not moving forward. So successful Italy, for example, there’s thing other going connected during the car chase. And you’ll spot that successful aboriginal enactment sequences, too. I’m not saying we’re reinventing cinema, but we’re decidedly putting Bond successful affectional situations he’s not been successful earlier portion the enactment unfolds.”

The manager recovered a kindred tone successful his cinematographer, Academy Award victor Linus Sandgren.

“Linus likes longer takes, and longer much analyzable blocking, and that translates to the enactment arsenic well,” the manager explains. “Action sequences tin beryllium modular with a wide chopper changeable positive a changeable of the instrumentality and a constituent of impact, for example, but we wanted to bash shots that link — A, B and C shots — successful 1 shot. And that was existent not lone of the enactment but for the melodramatic sequences, too.”

Aston Martin DB5

Intense enactment and play unfold manus successful manus from the outset successful No Time To Die with the iconic Aston Martin DB5 making a much-anticipated return. Indeed, the car’s relation successful Spectre’s final country allowed a creaseless modulation into No Time To Die, the communicative picking

20

up with Bond and Madeleine driving on the Italian coast.

The car past goes connected to bask perchance its astir memorable show yet arsenic the centrepiece successful a roadworthy pursuit done the narrow, labyrinthine streets of Matera successful Southern Italy.

“It is large to person the DB5 again,” says Craig, “which successful the communicative was reconstructed aft Skyfall, returned successful Spectre and is present successful cleanable condition.” He smiles. “And it present has a fewer added extras.”

“There’s a motorbike pursuit close astatine the beginning, which is similar a small amuse-bouche for the car pursuit series wherever Bond is driving the DB5,” helium adds. “It does everything that Bond’s DB5 should do, and we bash it each against the unthinkable backdrop of Matera.”

To sprout the Matera sequence, the filmmakers utilized 2 classical DB5s, which person an identical finish. For the bulk of the close-up shots with Bond and Madeleine entering and exiting the car, the accumulation utilized the EON-owned conveyance that featured successful GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Skyfall and Spectre. All the stunt work, meanwhile, was changeable with 8 bespoke DB5 stunt replicas built specifically for the accumulation by the engineers astatine Aston Martin.

Two of the 8 vehicles were built arsenic gadget cars to location the fume screen, the excavation dispenser and the instrumentality guns. Of the remaining six, 2 much were fitted with pods that let the stunt drivers to power the car portion sitting connected the roof. This ensured that the actors could beryllium filmed wrong the car erstwhile it drives astatine precocious speed.

When designing the gadgetry for the sequence, peculiar effects supervisor Chris Corbould worked archetypal with Fukunaga and producers Wilson and Broccoli to ascertain what they wanted to diagnostic successful the film. “Cary wanted the series to beryllium gritty,” Corbould explains, “but helium didn’t privation it to beryllium implicit the top. The series was evolving

21

right up to america shooting the scenes successful Matera.”

“And determination are truthful galore things that marque it exciting,” helium adds. “First, you’ve got the beauteous determination successful Matera. It’s a metropolis with specified a affluent past and it looks amazing. Then propulsion the car into the equation, which is doing much than it’s done since Goldfinger in 1964. We had a fleeting glimpse of it successful Skyfall, but Goldfinger is its past large sequence. And present for it to travel backmost successful each its glory and person a spectacular series again, the assemblage volition emotion it.”

Three much Aston Martins diagnostic successful the film, including Bond’s classical Aston Martin V8, driven by Timothy Dalton’s Bond successful 1987’s The Living Daylights. Also featured is 1 of Aston Martin’s latest hyper-cars, the Valhalla. It appears successful a upwind passageway astatine Q’s laboratory wherever M fields a telephone from Bond.

Nomi besides drives an Aston and the filmmakers opted for the latest DBS Superleggera, a 700bhp, 8-speed V12, arsenic her MI6-issued vehicle. The car is an update connected the conveyance utilized successful Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace and was the cleanable choice, according to subordinate shaper Gregg Wilson. “We felt Nomi should thrust thing sleek and cool, and the DBS Superleggera was ideal,” helium says.

Other enactment & stunts

The Matera series is brimming with breathtaking enactment and stunts and features a memorable motorcycle jump, which was filmed connected determination successful the Italian city. In the narrative, Bond executes the jump, though stunt rider Paul Edmondson did the leap utilizing an past arch arsenic a ramp.

Producer Barbara Broccoli believes that this stunt could beryllium to beryllium 1 of the film’s astir memorable moments. “I deliberation radical volition emotion that jump,” she says, “especially arsenic it was done for real.”

22

She besides says that the combat connected a staircase, which unfolds astatine Safin’s lair, volition basal retired arsenic an unforgettable acceptable piece. “The staircase combat is beauteous impactful,” she says. “And truthful overmuch of that is down to Daniel himself.”

For the stunt team, 1 of the superior challenges of shooting Bond combat scenes is balancing enactment that involves truthful galore important characters. Stunt coordinator Olivier Schneider identifies the enactment successful Cuba arsenic a lawsuit successful point. “Cuba was conscionable 1 illustration of a immense series that we had to plan and rehearse,” helium says, “but we had jumps, fights, weapon fights. It was a agelong process to archer the travel of truthful galore characters astatine the aforesaid clip portion besides inactive telling Bond’s story.”

Along with ramping up the excitement, Fukunaga and the producers besides wanted the stunts to beryllium realistic, and Craig ever tries to enactment arsenic overmuch of himself connected surface arsenic imaginable erstwhile filming his enactment scenes. “Because Daniel does the stunts himself, helium has immense input into however they are designed and created.” Broccoli confirms.

“He wants to plan them truthful that helium is capable to bash arsenic overmuch arsenic possible. Unfortunately, helium had an ankle mishap successful Jamaica aboriginal connected successful the filming truthful we had to enactment a batch of the enactment astatine the extremity of the shoot, and helium went nether an aggravated carnal rehab successful bid to beryllium capable to execute it. It is truly unthinkable what helium managed to do.”

Craig’s willingness to enactment his assemblage connected the enactment adds overmuch to his character, says Broccoli. “Thanks to Daniel, you truly judge that Bond is successful peril oregon that helium tin get hurt,” she says. “He does get wounded and helium feels it.”

Elsewhere, determination is simply a perilous and affectional country connected a sinking trawler, wherever the vessel rolls implicit and starts slipping into the deep. “Once we established that was however it was going to sink, we past started to make a rig that was going to bash that,” Corbould explains.

The rig was built successful the underwater signifier astatine Pinewood wherever it was turned 90 degrees

23

so that the staircases and engines stood astatine an antithetic angle. “We past injected immense amounts of compressed aerial into it to springiness the quality of it sinking,” Corbould says.

“And the actors did a large occupation swimming done it trying to get out. It was exhausting for them. It’s a agelong series and it’s very, precise melodramatic arsenic well, with a beardown communicative constituent successful there.”

Stunt coordinator Lee Morrison was mightily impressed with the rig. “Chris is an implicit genius, and the things he’s built for Bond implicit the years are mind-blowing, but this peculiar rig was a standout,” helium says. Chris Corbould besides masterminded the rig for the sinking assistance for Vesper’s decease series astatine the extremity of Casino Royale, which was changeable connected the aforesaid underwater stage.

Another of Corbould’s top strengths is his enactment with explosions; the blowing up of the villain’s lair successful Spectre entered the publication of Guinness World Records arsenic the largest detonation ever executed successful a question picture. There are 2 ample explosions featured successful No Time To Die. The archetypal ignites successful Valdo’s lab.

To execute this explosion, the peculiar effects squad linked butane canisters unneurotic and utilized controlled, computerized detonators. “Cary was rather insistent that helium wanted the abstraction successful betwixt the explosions to beryllium precise abbreviated and to person a definite method to it. So we had to plan the detonation precise specifically,” says Chris Corbould.

The film’s largest detonation occurs during the film’s climax and was executed by the peculiar effects squad astatine the Ministry of Defence tract connected Salisbury Plain. “We had to bash 3 explosions successful the 1 shot,” notes Corbould, “which represented 3 underground caverns each blowing up, each detonation approaching towards the camera.”

“The archetypal detonation was 230 metres from the camera, the 2nd was 130 metres from

24

camera, and the past was lone 30 metres from camera. Each 1 of them had 40kg of precocious explosive and astir apt 30-40 gallons of fuel. So portion it was lone 3 explosions, they were big, large explosions.”

The explosions were designed to replicate the look of a bunker-buster weaponry fired from a Royal Navy warship. “I deliberation it works truly well,” Corbould says. “There was a 2nd betwixt each 1 of the explosions arsenic the bunker-buster bombs targeted each of the caverns.”

After achieving a World Record connected Spectre, the Bond squad anticipation they mightiness besides unafraid different connected No Time To Die. “There is simply a grounds for the astir precocious explosive successful 1 shot,” concludes the peculiar effects supervisor. “We had 135.4kg successful ours, truthful I’m hoping that that goes through. It’d beryllium bully to get a grounds connected each Bond film!”

COSTUME

Ever since Ian Fleming dressed him successful his favourite dark-blue, single-breasted suit with a four-in-hand (never a Windsor) knotted tie, James Bond redefined the representation of the spy. Before 007, the archetypal concealed cause was shrouded successful a agelong overgarment and wide-brimmed hat. Bond changed each that, says costume decorator Suttirat Anne Larlarb. “You person value connected your shoulders arsenic a decorator for Bond,” she says.

Being a costume decorator connected the world’s longest-running movie franchise is simply a mammoth logistical situation fixed the fig of important characters, the request to negociate aggregate costumes and the request to organise hundreds of repetition outfits.

The cardinal to success, Larlarb says, is collaboration. “With the quality of James Bond everybody expects him to beryllium the sharpest dressed antheral connected the planet, and there’s an relation with definite brands that comes with that,” she explains. “There’s a full big of collaborations.”

25

It is, however, the collaboration with the manager and actors that proves astir pivotal. All accomplished costume designers recognise that covering is an hold of quality and nary 1 understands the characters much than those that bring them to life. According to Lashana Lynch, who plays the double-O cause Nomi, Larlarb embraces this attack whole-heartedly.

“One astonishing happening astir Suttirat is that she is wholly up for collaboration,” says Lynch. “We sat down the archetypal clip I met her and we talked astir who Nomi is and what characterful things we could enactment successful the costume to marque her consciousness arsenic gritty arsenic imaginable erstwhile she is connected mission.”

“What things volition correspond her to the fullest? What volition marque her consciousness comfortable, but besides marque her consciousness sexy and successful charge? And Suttirat conscionable has a mode of learning astir you straightaway. She reads radical truly easy and quickly, and she worked with each azygous portion of my body.”

Léa Seydoux agrees. “Suttirat has done specified large work,” says the French actress. “We wanted for Madeleine thing timeless, astatine the aforesaid clip elemental and feminine and sophisticated, but not excessively much. It had to beryllium elemental successful the mode that women tin subordinate to and Suttirat truly understood that.”

Indeed, Larlarb’s attraction to item is immense. She describes the lengthy conversations she had with Ralph Fiennes, for example, implicit the mode M mightiness fastener his collar. “A batch of M’s apparel look beauteous consecutive forward, accepted suits,” Larlarb says, “but we had hours of speech astir however his quality successful this peculiar movie could beryllium reborn arsenic a caller mentation of M.”

Alongside the heroes, Larlarb besides had to see the villains, astir notably Bond’s latest enemy, Safin. She says that the villain’s wardrobe tin beryllium the astir exotic, arsenic helium is not needfully tied into pre-existing expectations.

26

“From my perspective, Safin’s covering is the astir evidently made-up constituent of the movie and we were precise overmuch devising it from nothing. Through a bid of drawings, and research, and prototypes, we were capable to outfit our Safin and each of his minions.”

As she’d done with Bond himself, Larlarb sifted done the styles and approaches employed erstwhile dressing erstwhile Bond villains. “They’ve go iconic, and they’re parodied even,” she says, “and yet there’s a through-line with each of them that I decidedly wanted to wage homage to.”

The wardrobe of the Bond villain is often defined by simplicity with a hint of thing exotic oregon mysterious and that played into the archetypal outfit Larlarb enactment unneurotic for Safin. He appears aboriginal connected successful the movie wearing hunter’s covering that incorporates a Noh mask.

“The happening astir a Noh disguise is that it is expressionless,” says the costume designer, “and depending connected however the histrion moves, and what the lighting is, it tin truly reverberate antithetic emotions. It tin beryllium truly scary, it tin beryllium serene oregon it could beryllium assertive looking. Those 3 descriptions were precisely what we wanted Safin to be.”

Obviously, erstwhile it comes to wardrobe, nary collaboration is much important than that betwixt Larlarb and Daniel Craig. “We had truthful galore conversations to marque definite that Bond felt similar helium was moving guardant with capable of a vocabulary that’s been established successful his erstwhile iterations of Bond, but besides touching connected the Bond bequest successful general, and moving it into the future.”

James Bond is retired astatine 1 constituent successful the communicative and Larlarb notes that 1 of her challenges connected the caller movie was however to formal Bond erstwhile helium is nary longer a subordinate of Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

“We did speech astir him needing to consciousness similar a wholly antithetic benignant of Bond,” says Larlarb. “A Bond that you don’t recognize, a Bond that doesn’t needfully formal successful the expected way, each perfectly suited, perfectly tailored. There needed to beryllium a relaxed feel

27

about him. He needed to beryllium embedded successful his situation but helium besides inactive needed to basal out. So, you person these 2 opposing forces.”

“Fortunately, everything you enactment connected Daniel, helium wears truly well, truthful we conscionable needed to find the things that you wouldn’t needfully expect Bond to deterioration successful his London life, oregon successful his planetary tract life.”

When it comes to dressing Bond distant from progressive service, says Larlarb, the concealed is recovered successful the character’s instinct and inherent cool. “Everything helium owned we wanted it to consciousness similar it wasn’t thought about,” she continues, “that helium had to his halfway an intuition astir style, though helium doesn’t deliberation astir it excessively much. It’s conscionable there.”

“We liked the thought of a silhouette, truthful that you’re not distracted by patterns and shapes and plan details. He feels similar a silhouette, and due to the fact that it was specified a blistery tropical country, we knew it needed to beryllium thing a small looser, but inactive fitting to amusement disconnected that fantastic physique.”

The standout portion successful Bond’s wardrobe is, of course, his tux, which successful No Time To Die is made by Tom Ford, who archetypal dressed Commander Bond successful 2012’s Skyfall. “The tux is astir apt the astir iconic of the James Bond wardrobe looks,” Larlarb concurs, “so for No Time To Die I revisited what each Bond had worn successful the signifier of evening deterioration successful each the films anterior to this, and past specifically paid peculiar attraction to what Daniel had worn successful the erstwhile films helium had done.”

“Immediately, we knew we wouldn’t privation to repetition thing that was done before. I anticipation this is thing special.”

LOCATIONS

Locations are ever a cardinal constituent of the James Bond films, reflecting the temper and code of the narrative, arsenic good arsenic transporting the assemblage to beautiful,

28

fearsome oregon exotic parts of the globe. According to locations manager Charlie Hayes, some Fukunaga and accumulation decorator Mark Tildesley were ever precise circumstantial astir the locations.

“There was ever a temper oregon a feeling that we needed the locations to evoke arsenic good arsenic being close for enactment and acceptable pieces,” Hayes explains. “There was an astonishing committee connected Mark Tildesley’s partition astatine 1 constituent which had each the affectional feelings of each country of the movie arsenic we moved through, and the colours, they wanted.”

Hayes and supervising locations manager Ben Piltz past worked intimately with Fukunaga, Tildesley and the producers to find the locations that deed those notes. They began with Norway, which is the archetypal determination seen successful the film, during the pre-title credits.

Norway

“We knew we were going to spell to Scandinavia,” says Broccoli, noting that Madeleine’s father, Mr. White, was Scandinavian. “It needed to beryllium determination wherever they would person hidden arsenic a family. It would person been an inaccessible place, determination beauteous remote.”

Altaussee successful Austria, wherever Bond tracks White successful Spectre, provided immoderate ocular inspiration arsenic did the clip Fukunaga had spent successful the state earlier helium joined the movie.

“All the locations came astir organically,” says the director. “I had been spending clip successful Norway and fell successful emotion with the scenery there. And with the histrion playing Mr. White [Jesper Christensen] being Danish, and Léa being French we decided we could marque Madeleine Norwegian.”

The accumulation past began its hunt for an isolated location with accepted architecture. “We needed that consciousness of isolation,” confirms Hayes. “We wanted a consciousness that Mr.

29

White and his household could fell and beryllium abstracted from the world. And, of course, that makes the opening series each the much jarring and scary.”

They chose a commercialized forest, conscionable northbound of Oslo, and built the location successful situ connected a immense lake. “The location itself was really built connected the water alternatively than alongside it due to the fact that that worked champion for the originative process,” continues Hayes. “The existing structures that we recovered conscionable weren’t rather close successful presumption of the geography and the layout of the country that Cary had successful his mind.”

Building the location connected the water brought its ain acceptable of challenges. “The Norwegian squad that we were moving with were initially a small spot confused by this request,” laughs Hayes. “And past erstwhile we were filming, inevitably temperatures started to emergence and we noticed that the crystal was thinning beneath us. It was safe, of course, but it was a unusual thought to get your caput around.”

Part of the Norway section, which includes different car and motorbike chase, was filmed connected the Ardverikie property successful Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park, and successful Windsor Great Park. “That car pursuit takes them retired from on the Atlantic road, which is this astir unthinkable water roadworthy successful Norway,” Hayes says, “and past into a benignant of forestry conception which was divided betwixt locations successful Scotland connected the Ardverikie estate.”

“And past the last portion of that pursuit was filmed successful Buttersteep woods, which is portion of the commercialized wood attached to Windsor Great Park. So we divided the Norway conception crossed a bully galore locations.”

Italy

From the cold, forbidding wintertime scenery successful Norway the movie past shifts to the soft, hazy airy of confederate Italy. The Bond films person a adjacent relation with the country, particularly during the Daniel Craig epoch with Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace and Spectre all featuring scenes acceptable successful the Mediterranean country.

30

“Italy was the cleanable setting,” says Fukunaga, “because they thrust disconnected into the sunset astatine the extremity of Spectre and wherever other is arsenic romanticist arsenic Italy? And the past municipality of Matera was conscionable amazing; we had to sprout there.”

The accumulation chose Matera to big the pre-title sequence’s thrilling car chase. “Italy is simply a state that has specified a assortment of locations,” says Michael G. Wilson. “We emotion Italy. Bond loves Italy. And Matera is truthful visually stunning and a large spot to bash a car chase.”

Matera is an past metropolis and often stands successful for Biblical oregon Classical locations, yet the municipality was delighted to big a modern-day movie with an electrifying enactment sequence. It is successful Matera that Bond fulfils a idiosyncratic mission, earlier he’s attacked and engages successful a car pursuit done the narrow, winding streets.

“The roads are constrictive and abbreviated and it doesn’t look similar the evident spot to bash a car chase,” says Hayes. “But I consciousness that overmuch of the occurrence of this series volition beryllium that we usage this situation and the vehicles successful a mode that you don’t expect.”

Another important country that unfolds successful Italy plays astatine the bid presumption successful the south- occidental municipality of Sapri. The filmmakers were incredibly grateful to Trenitalia, the Italian obstruction authorities, for their assistance.

“Filming connected immoderate railway presumption anyplace successful the satellite is difficult,” says Hayes. “You can’t impact the moving enactment excessively much. We needed to find a spot wherever the railway enactment tin run astir us, portion astatine the aforesaid clip giving america a harmless country of bid enactment that would let america to determination our train, the Frecciarossa, backmost and guardant and seizure the shots we need.”

“Trenitalia were enthusiastic and supportive. We wanted to marque definite that details were thought-through and that each of the arrangements were due and robust.”

31

Jamaica

After the pre-title sequence, Bond retires to his spiritual location successful Jamaica. Again, isolated from the evident nexus to writer Ian Fleming and his location astatine GoldenEye connected the bluish shore, determination is simply a affluent past of Bond films shooting successful Jamaica. Both Dr. No (1962) and Live And Let Die (1973) filmed cardinal scenes connected the Caribbean island.

“I went to Jamaica for the 50th day of the movie bid and stayed successful Fleming’s house, which was a existent revelation to me,” says Broccoli. “Bond has ever saved the world. But what I abruptly realised, really being successful the country successful which helium wrote his novels and abbreviated stories, was that portion Fleming was saying that Bond was redeeming the world, helium was looking retired astatine the earthy quality of the world.”

“It is not conscionable the cosmopolitan satellite arsenic we cognize it but the unthinkable vibrancy of the earthy world, the coral reefs of the ocean, the flowers and the fauna and the birds. Fleming loved the quality of the satellite and we wanted that to provender into Bond’s communicative successful this film.”

When choosing the determination for Bond’s Jamaican homestead, the accumulation wanted determination wherever helium could beryllium isolated, to bask a elemental life, sportfishing connected his vessel and connecting with the earthy satellite astir him. They built his location connected the island’s bluish enactment adjacent Port Antonio.

“Going to Jamaica was ever connected the cards,” says Hayes. “There was a consciousness that erstwhile Bond retires from progressive service, there’s lone 1 spot he’d spell and that would beryllium Jamaica.”

Shooting connected determination was vital, and required assistance from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, arsenic good arsenic the JAMPRO Film Commission. “Jamaica is not a spot you tin replicate easily,” continues the determination manager. “It is this unthinkable astir mythical

32

place successful Bond folklore. There’s nary accidental of accurately replicating it for real. We wanted to beryllium determination to odor and sensation it. I deliberation that volition bring a batch to those scenes.”

Jamaica besides stood successful for Cuba. “We chose Cuba for a precise peculiar conception of the film,” says Michael G. Wilson. “We needed a state that Bond could question to easy with his boat. And Cuba was the perfect prime due to the fact that it is successful immoderate mode disconnected limits to the Americans. If SPECTRE was going to person a gathering successful the occidental hemisphere it would beryllium the benignant of spot wherever they could get their enactment done without interference.”

While overmuch of the Cuba acceptable was built astatine Pinewood Studios, 1 important exterior country unfolds successful a dockland setting, and the accumulation changeable astatine the KFTL Cargo Terminal astatine Kingston Harbour, which is the seventh largest earthy harbour successful the world.

The docks are managed by CMA CGM, the French instrumentality proscription and shipping company. Not lone did the steadfast assistance unprecedented entree to the docks, wherever the accumulation changeable a series with a seaplane, CMA CGM besides supplied 1 of its immense instrumentality ships, which features successful the movie erstwhile Bond is rescued from the ocean. “CMA CGM were a truly large collaborator connected the film,” says Gregg Wilson.

London

The UK superior metropolis is simply a perennial determination successful the Bond films and erstwhile again it features prominently. “London has seen a batch of enactment successful the past mates of films,” says Hayes. “In Skyfall and successful Spectre there were ample chases changeable successful and astir London, which were truly memorable.”

London plays a antithetic relation successful No Time To Die, arsenic the enactment sequences are each overseas. “Bond is astir dragged backmost to London aft his retirement,” continues Hayes, “So I deliberation this is the archetypal clip we spot Bond astir astatine likelihood with London.”

“He’s not rather arsenic comfy and unafraid arsenic he’s been before. We spot him unfastened his

33

old fastener up and particulate disconnected his aged things. He goes backmost to his aged spot of enactment wherever he’s fixed beauteous abbreviated shrift. He doesn’t person the entree to each areas that helium erstwhile had. London has a unsocial relation to play successful this film.”

Hammersmith Bridge, which was the archetypal suspension span crossed the Thames, is utilized arsenic the backdrop for a gathering betwixt Bond and M. “It is an instantly recognizable portion of London,” says Hayes, “but it’s not 1 that you would traditionally deliberation of arsenic being a London landmark.”

A much accepted portion of London that features is Whitehall. The accumulation was granted support to sprout the exterior of the Ministry of Defence building, which features erstwhile Bond arrives backmost successful the UK.

“It was a wholly due location, fixed the taxable matter, “says Hayes. “There was a batch of practice with the Ministry of Defence connected this film, and they were blessed for america to represent the exterior of their gathering arsenic being the caller office of MI6.”

“It was a large spot to work. There is simply a batch of enactment astir Whitehall each time of the year, truthful we truly had to prime our day and effort and duck successful astir the different uses of the area.”

One infinitesimal sees Madeleine caput crossed the Mall to get to her bureau connected Carlton House Terrace, conscionable arsenic a unit of the Household Cavalry comes by. “That was a large country and the Household Cavalry were amazingly enthusiastic astir moving with us,” says Hayes.

Another important UK determination was the Ministry of Defence onshore connected Salisbury Plain wherever Chris Corbould and the peculiar effects squad carried retired an tremendous detonation to replicate the onslaught connected Safin’s lair. “When looking for determination to movie these peculiar moments, close astatine the apical of the database is the subject grooming property connected Salisbury Plain, which is an tremendous 150 quadrate mile country of subject grooming land,” Hayes

34

explains.

“It’s wherever soldiers trained earlier the Allied penetration of Normandy. It has a affluent subject history. We had to beryllium mindful of the archaeology and ecology of the site. It is astir the country from Stonehenge, and there’s large imaginable for things to beryllium buried successful that country but we had archaeologists with america to marque definite that we didn’t disturb thing nether the ground.”

Faroe Islands

The villain’s lair is often a root of wonderment successful a Bond film, and for No Time To Die the filmmakers decided to make a fictional land for Safin

To sprout the exterior of the island, the filmmakers utilized the Faroe Islands, a North Atlantic archipelago administrated by Denmark. “We filmed a bid of sheet shots which are stitched unneurotic to make Safin’s lair,” says Hayes. The shots were past enhanced by CGI.

“The geography is perfectly spectacular,” helium continues. “It has an tremendous ocular payment for america successful the film, though it was a hard spot to instrumentality a movie crew. Numbers had to beryllium strictly limited. We had to marque definite that the radical we took were supervised by upland safety, and that we had capable rescue unit to let them to transportation retired their duties safely.”

DESIGNING BOND

For accumulation decorator Mark Tildesley, moving connected No Time To Die involved looking backmost into the past, arsenic good arsenic exploring the present, successful a bid to wage tribute to the Bond series’ agelong past of innovation successful design.

“The Bond films person been precise imaginative successful galore ways, and ground-breaking in

35

some ways, with their ideas and standard and colour,” helium says. “My occupation was to admit what a Bond movie is, and besides what it could be. I needed to recognize each the Bond movies from the past and to deliberation however our film, arsenic the 25th piece, could champion bespeak them.”

“So we looked astatine the champion moments that we’d seen successful Bond movies and thought astir however we would propulsion immoderate of those unneurotic for this last movie of Daniel’s.”

The starting point, successful galore ways, helium says, was to survey the enactment of the iconic Sir Ken Adam, the godfather of Bond design. “We loved looking astatine the boldness of the spaces helium made,” says Tildesley. “He drew precise boldly and his enactment was precise brave and imaginative.”

“His designs besides incorporate a consciousness of theatre; his acceptable plan often included big, operatic pieces. So we were ever reasoning astir Ken Adam and we’ve tried to evoke immoderate of those feelings. I anticipation that we’ve managed to recreate immoderate of the architecture and standard that’s due for a Bond movie.”

Along with Adam’s work, Tildesley besides drew inspiration from brutalist architecture, with peculiar attraction paid to the designs of the modern-day Japanese designer Tadao Ando.

“We person tried to beryllium bold with size and standard and shape,” continues Tildesley, “to guarantee that the representation is not excessively busy. With immoderate spaces we’ve gone for a minimalist satellite with brutalist references and a adjacent relation to nature.”

Safin’s lair

This plan strategy proved particularly effectual erstwhile conceiving the villain’s lair. “On the land determination is simply a investigating works of elephantine silos, and underneath the silos, erstwhile you unfastened the rocket doors, determination is simply a elephantine factory,” Tildesley explains. “And this was our champion accidental to marque an tremendous Ken Adam-style set.”

36

In a bid to wage homage, the accumulation built what Tildesley calls “a classical Ken Adam circular door”, which is the gateway to the subterranean factory.

“We wanted the main operation to beryllium bold, elemental and functional,” helium says. “The conception allowed america to physique elephantine pillars and we worked intimately with our manager of photography to make a sculpture that works with airy and dark.”

“So accompanying this elephantine underground silo, we had immense corridors wherever Bond could vanish successful the darkness. These are mammoth structures and conscionable a tiny magnitude of airy forms a graphic language, wherever you’re seeing these precise cleanable and elemental shapes.”

Bond’s Jamaican retreat

When Bond retires from progressive work the lone destination connected his caput is his location successful Jamaica, which the accumulation designed and built successful an country of earthy quality adjacent to the bluish municipality of Port Antonio. “We person Bond surviving successful a spectacular cove, a portion of beauteous quality with perfectly crystal wide waters, tropical plants and fantastic vertebrate sounds and gorgeous skies,” Tildesley says.

When reasoning astir the plan of the location itself, the filmmakers were guided by the information that Bond is alternatively discombobulated. “He’s similar a food retired of water,” says Tildesley. “He’s truly built to beryllium an cause successful action.”

“So Bond’s location successful Jamaica is astir him getting successful his vessel and sailing away,” helium adds. “He does a spot of fishing, does a spot of venturing and it’s astir arsenic though he’s readying an escape. So helium has maps and books lying astir pertaining to wherever other helium could trial himself next.”

The location itself, the filmmakers decided, should beryllium Jamaican successful plan though it does

37

sport a Japanese hep roof. “The location itself was fun,” the accumulation decorator continues. “In Jamaica, to physique a location they often spell up into the woods, chopped down the trees and past bring backmost the wood.”

“So each the wood is precise caller and precise caller and precise twisted, truthful each our ideas astir making a sharp-looking location disappeared and it became precise Jamaican precise quickly. There is simply a flavour of it being handmade.”

SPECTRE lawsuit successful Cuba

When Bond is called into action, helium travels a fewer 100 miles to Cuba, wherever helium infiltrates a lavish shot hosted by SPECTRE. Fukunaga wanted to make a fantastic party, afloat of bonzer people, and Tildesley oversaw the operation of an aged Cuban theatre, with an Art Deco feel, implicit with a fig of ample staircases.

“We’ve truly condensed the design,” helium says, “to make thing with an aggravated flavour. We took each the champion ideas we could find and honed them. I went to Cuba erstwhile doing the notation work. It is exotic and bonzer but, unfortunately, each the loveliest bits are scattered around, truthful we tried to bring them each together.”

His theatre abstraction incorporates classical arches, which person been recurrent crossed the set, “we repeated the columns and chromatic and winding staircases. There are immoderate Art Deco motifs, too,” helium notes.

Tildesley besides wanted to springiness the content of faded grandeur. “Cuba was astatine 1 clip this burgeoning playground for the Americans and was truly affluent and exotic and wonderful, but present it’s mislaid and it’s crumbling, though there’s tremendous quality successful what remains.”

38

MI6

With M’s bureau operating a bid mainstay, the filmmakers wanted to support each the classical elements that comprise it, albeit with a fewer updates.

“It is simply a batch of amusive to bash the classical Bond sets similar M’s and Moneypenny’s office,” says Tildesley. “And things similar the leather doorway successful M’s bureau is an icon of the Bond world. The acceptable has evolved implicit time, done antithetic films, but I deliberation the table and the coating down it and everything other successful determination has been the aforesaid for a agelong time.”

40

reflects her style.”

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

The equipped forces person cooperated with filming before, notes determination manager Charlie Hayes. “Bond has his ain past arsenic a Naval serviceman and successful this movie we person worked alongside each 3 branches,” helium says, “and it is simply a precise peculiar narration that we person formed with them.”

During the film, Madeleine Swann crosses The Mall towards her office, which is located connected Carlton House Terrace. “It’s an important moment,” says Hayes. “It sets the country and puts america straight successful the close spot with who she is and wherever she works.”

The Royal Horse Guards are portion of the Blues and Royals, 1 of the 2 astir elder regiments of the British Army, who unneurotic signifier the Household Cavalry. They offered their clip astatine a pivotal infinitesimal successful their calendar, conscionable earlier the Changing of the Guard astatine Buckingham Palace.

Bond and Nomi gadgets to assistance them connected their upcoming mission. As Bond and Nomi exit the plane, Q remains aboard, looking astatine specifications and schematics of their people to springiness them accusation and to usher them done their attack.

The Royal Navy besides provided a captious asset, allowing the production’s 2nd portion to movie aboard HMS Dragon, 1 of its Type 45 aerial defence destroyers. HMS Dragon is 1 of the astir precocious warships successful the satellite and it plays a important relation successful No Time To Die.

MUSIC
No movie bid has produced specified an awesome array of philharmonic accompaniment as

James Bond and with No Time To Die standing not lone arsenic the 25th EON-produced 007 movie, but besides arsenic the last section successful the Daniel Craig narrative, the filmmakers knew they required an exceptional composer. They turned to the Academy Award- and four- clip Grammy-winning Hans Zimmer.

The composer, a long-time instrumentality of the James Bond movie scores, leapt astatine the accidental to enactment with Wilson and Broccoli. “It’s precise uncommon that you get producers who are this acquainted with their material,” helium begins. “In fact, it’s impossible. There is cipher other successful this satellite who has lived the worldly successful the mode they have.”

42

“You conscionable request to look implicit your enarthrosis and spot however they’re reacting to a definite spot to cognize if you’re connected the close track.”

Zimmer was besides alert of the value of this movie to its starring man. “Having done the 3 Batman movies I was saying to people, ‘To you, it’s conscionable 3 movies, but to me, it was 12 years of my life.’ For Daniel, Bond has been 15 years of his life, truthful you’ve got to amusement immoderate respect and humility towards that.”

As anxious arsenic helium was to squad up with Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig, different important origin was his feeling astir the film’s narrative. “There’s a mature sensitivity to this movie which is truly good,” helium says. “The movie starts up from a spot of calamity and if you springiness maine dark, I’m happy. It inspires.”

Zimmer’s inspiration was boosted further by the recruitment of long-time collaborator Steve Mazzaro, arsenic good arsenic different aged person and colleague, Johnny Marr, the legendary guitarist and co-writer for The Smiths, with whom helium archetypal collaborated connected Inception in 2010.

Marr recalls, “Hans called and said, ‘James Bond, Do you fancy it?’ I said, ‘What took you truthful long?’ I felt precise privileged to bash it and honoured. I ever subordinate Bond with the guitar.”

Zimmer encouraged Marr to bring his ain benignant to the portion and to not beryllium overly restricted by the composer’s chord changes. “The occupation of the guitar successful the euphony is erstwhile there’s action,” says Marr. “When helium is astir to spell into Bond mode, whether it is simply a car pursuit oregon thing heroic, you’ll perceive the guitar. But there’s besides an intrigue to the sound, which is 1 of the things that comes from John Barry.”

Barry worked connected 11 Bond films and his spectacular output casts a long, shimmering shadow. Zimmer notes that it was Cary Fukunaga, successful particular, who encouraged the composers to spot their ain instincts and to inch retired of that shadow.

43

“Cary was truly bully due to the fact that astatine archetypal we were acold much John Barry successful a way,” Zimmer explains. “He precise softly said, ‘I deliberation I privation a spot much Zimmer successful this,’ immoderate that means.”

According to Marr, “a spot much Zimmer” means “being respectful to what James Bond is historically but besides being due to the film, archetypal and foremost. You can’t beryllium truthful respectful that you don’t person your ain voice. When listening to the worldly without the guitar I tin truly perceive Hans’ and Steve’s [voices].”

Mazarro adds, “And with each that, it inactive feels Bond. It’s inactive that connection that John Barry created, successful a way.”

Barry’s innovative approach, combining pop, jazz and classical styles did overmuch to signifier a caller genre of movie music, and helium was a regular collaborator with fashionable modern vocalists and bands, from Shirley Bassey to Duran Duran. The Bond producers person maintained that tradition, inviting immoderate of the world’s premier signaling artists to enactment connected their iconic rubric tracks.

For No Time To Die, the filmmakers opted for five-time Grammy victor Billie Eilish.
“I was fixed a Billie Eilish opus that she and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, had done. It was conscionable a demo and yet I said, ‘I don’t privation to perceive thing else. This is it,’” says Zimmer. “They didn’t cognize the communicative past but their opus felt similar a communicative to me. It feels applicable and similar a young idiosyncratic with an amazingly aged heart.”

Marr agrees. “It’s precise modern, obviously, and it’s a substance of little is much due to the fact that there’s truthful overmuch strength successful the song. It is rather extremist successful a mode due to the fact that it’s truthful fragile and the spot of it is successful the minimalist aspect.”

“It travelled crossed clip for me,” adds Zimmer. “I said, ‘Get them connected a plane. Get them implicit here.’”

44

Eilish and O’Connell came over. “I ne'er thought we would ever get to bash a Bond song, honestly,” says Eilish. “We ever wanted to. We ever talked astir it. And we told everybody connected the team, ‘If there’s ever an accidental to bash thing with Bond, please…’ And to beryllium a portion of the last Bond movie from Daniel, it’s conscionable crazy.”

THE END OF AN ERA

Not lone is No Time To Die a landmark movie arsenic EON’s 25th Bond movie, it besides stands arsenic the last section successful the Daniel Craig epoch and, according to Barbara Broccoli, it is an intensely idiosyncratic story.

“I deliberation it is by acold the astir idiosyncratic story, alongside On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Casino Royale,” she says. “It is simply a fitting and precise emotionally satisfying decision to Daniel Craig’s quality arc.”

Not surprisingly, No Time To Die proved an affectional task for each of those involved, particularly for Craig himself. “When I halt and deliberation astir what we person achieved implicit 5 movies, it’s truly precise emotional; it’s been astir 15 years of my life,” helium says.

“And I felt with No Time To Die there was a communicative to decorativeness disconnected and tons of escaped ends that we needed to necktie up. I consciousness we’ve done that. I’m immensely arrogant of it and I americium immensely arrogant of the immense corporate effort that goes into making a Bond movie. Being conscionable a tiny portion of that has been an honour.”

The astir affectional infinitesimal came with Craig’s last scenes, which, fittingly, were changeable astatine Pinewood, the accepted location of the Bond films. Michael G. Wilson recalls the feeling connected set: “It was precocious astatine nighttime and usually radical spell location erstwhile they’re done but everyone came connected set. It wasn’t a enactment ambiance precisely but it was a peculiar infinitesimal and radical wanted to beryllium there.”

45

“They called ‘Wrap’ and Daniel said immoderate beauteous words and everyone was tearful and hugging. We were each atrocious to spot this epoch end; it was precise affectional for the crew.”

The filmmakers stay highly arrogant of what they’ve achieved crossed the past 5 films. “In these films, Daniel has brought a batch of humanity to Bond and developed a existent character,” concludes Wilson. “That’s what helium brings to the aboriginal films. He kept connected processing that quality and creating it. With his tenacity, knowing and tremendous talent, Daniel Craig has developed a mentation of James Bond that is unique.”
