  • This is the 25th Bond film.

  • This is your fifth bond film on this is your final time portraying the character of James Bond.

  • What is something unique and important that you wanted to bring to the role this time around that maybe we haven't seen from the character in the previous films?

  • Um go God, that's so I mean, you know, there's a there's a through line to the movies being a very strong through line, whether by whether it's been deliberate or just by the fact that it just seemed to be the right thing to do when we made the movies.

  • This is this a lot that there are lots of there. 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:5.890 A lot of I felt like unsaid things at the end, inspector that we put into the beginning of this film. 00:01:5.900 --> 00:01:12.820 And then the movie sort of blows up from there and about so many other things that I kind of mean to new Mr mentioned.

  • I want to give anything away, which includes all of these people and all of the normal people.

  • Ban on DDE, Niamey and 100 thank you, Rafe, Rafe.

  • Or is it fights?

  • Um, and it's It's a kind of for me having all of these characters in all of these sort of story lines and all of these things mashing up together.

  • It's about the relationships and about family.

  • That's what the movie's come about.

  • And it's about love there, I say Speak to the relationships.

  • The last time we saw Madeline and James, they were riding off into the sunset.

  • Where do we pick the elbow into the sunset?

  • That's a missing.

  • I don't think the sun was shining. 00:01:58.350 --> 00:02:0.370 It was London in November. 00:02:0.970 --> 00:02:4.100 We were driving off into the cloudy skies of funded. 00:02:4.100 --> 00:02:6.580 Where do we pick up this time around? 00:02:6.590 --> 00:02:7.640 Where is she? 00:02:7.650 --> 00:02:16.060 And how does the character evolve in this film s So it's right after right after Specter.

  • I mean way.

  • When we see a James Bond and Madeline, they are in long at the beginning, everything's perfect, almost perfect until becomes more complicated.

  • Space station crashes into the North Mountain, and it's just like I don't know, Mercury is in retrograde.

  • Carrie, this is you're the scale of This is your biggest phone today. 00:02:54.740 --> 00:03:2.500 What was something personal that you wanted to bring to this franchise Now 25 films in or something you were looking to bring to it? 00:03:3.840 --> 00:03:14.250 Um uh, that's hard to say because I think it was Ah, definitely collective approach, right, Thio crafting the story.

  • But I think, um, the emotionality was something that I was interested in and wanted to explore.

  • I didn't want to get deeper into the psychology of bond after the tragedy of his relationship with Vesper, Lynd and Casino Royale.

  • And now with a the new relationship Mental Swan.

  • What?

  • All that baggage bringing all that baggage into this new relationship me was a cool to be in Jamaica.

  • The home of Ian Fleming was that Did that mean a lot when you were there?

  • And did you sort of take take a moment to sort of look back and say, This is cool, literally cool.

  • It was hot as hell, But was it did it feel meaningful to sort of be there telling this story where he lives? 00:03:59.270 --> 00:04:6.390 We got to stay at GoldenEye, which I so pretty wonderful experience because it's a very nice place to stay. 00:04:7.840 --> 00:04:8.720 It felt right. 00:04:9.010 --> 00:04:15.980 It felt like you mean making a bomb movie, so it has to feel like a bond movie.

  • I felt like a bull movie, definitely going at the spiritual home, and there was a certain It's some of some you can't really intellectualizing.

  • So you're sitting there the desk where Fleming wrote looking at the sea and thinking about all his experiences in the war plus embassies.

  • Imagination brought about this character, James Bond.

  • It's become so iconic.

  • Jeffrey Felix is always pulling the guy back in.

  • He's hanging.

  • She's Joanie's enjoying life?

  • Uh, not in service, but he comes to pull him back in.

  • What can you say about why he needs James Bond in? 00:04:56.060 --> 00:05:4.470 You know, Godfather, that was Al Pacino's lines, you know, lighter, lighter pulls me back in. 00:05:4.770 --> 00:05:34.060 They changed it on the day, but, um but, um, yeah, in this instance, he does draw, draw him back into the game, and I think him I think it has to do, um, I think it speaks to what Daniel is talking about in terms and also carry in terms of the intimacy of the film, the kind of emotionality it's really, you know, in the midst of everything that happens in these films.

  • It's really about these relationships, and it's about this kind of brotherhood that they belong to, and the sense of kinship that they that they have between between them that draws him in, you know, because beyond who they work for yeah, and who they're loyal to in their professional lives. 00:05:54.630 --> 00:06:5.400 It's about a relationship that's Helton complete trust and the unquestionable trust who you want, who you want with you in the foxhole. 00:06:5.480 --> 00:06:8.320 You know, there aren't many people that he does trust. 00:06:8.530 --> 00:06:9.990 No next step.

  • Let's come over, Luciana.

  • Uh, the Internet has been a blade speculating on who you play in this film.

  • We do know that she is a double o agent.

  • How would you say Hard double Agent, maybe is different from James Bond completed.

  • Three people approach to the job completely different mindsets.

  • And he hasn't, well, classic way on war.

  • More volumes, Uh, how did say he just tells his own thing?

  • I think you have your own free way of doing things, and I have my by the book kind of teacher's pet way off.

  • Um, getting the job done.

  • I think they both just want to be the best of what they do that you think this is a certain about cynicism and boned at this point that classes with your your Yeah, kind of hunger, too.

  • Yeah, that's interesting.

  • Really interesting.

  • Kind of clash.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, it's a clash.

  • There's a clash at the beginning, for sure.

  • When you see them working together, it actually makes for quite a beautiful partnership, actually.

  • And I think they get the job done in a and efficient way to get the job done.

  • But they have to go through this gentleman sitting between Romney.

  • Bond.

  • Villain is how do you know that Bond villains are sometimes thio talk about your character and sort of how he factors into the film.

  • And did you sort of look at other bond villains from from history for any kind of inspiration? 00:08:0.640 --> 00:08:3.190 Uh, there's a club Cool. 00:08:4.940 --> 00:08:10.730 I like, you know, Carrie and I spent quite a long time working on it beforehand.

  • You mean just like almost a year ago, we started talking about this character before I even had a chance to.

  • I read the script long before uh, coming up with ideas, and every chance I got carrier, I would just CPAs much information is possible as he was.

  • You're putting the story together.

  • And with the writers, of course.

  • Um, there's, ah, quality about Saffan.

  • Uh, is a certain philosophy on how he can make the world a better place.

  • They can benefit everyone, including James Bond himself. 00:08:52.510 --> 00:09:0.850 And, you know, some would call him malicious, Ruthless, But I don't think he sees his actions that way at all. 00:09:0.860 --> 00:09:1.850 Quite the opposite. 00:09:2.340 --> 00:09:14.500 Um, if anything, his ruthlessness is a a byproduct of a ruthlessness that, uh, he might have had in his own life at some point.

  • You know, as we begin to wrap up 25 films and I've said that before, What do you think of is it about this character, this franchise that has been able to endure for 25 years and still entertain audiences over and over again?

  • And they still want more Azaz?

  • Everyone here has now been our veterans of James Bond franchise.

  • What do you think it is about character in the films people?

  • I think it's I mean something we said before, but it's There are so many moving parts to this film that stories escaping the press that mostly untrue and sort of the the excitement it seems to generate when it's announced there's gonna be another movie and that momentum just get sort of snowballs as we get closer and closer to the release and the movies have sustained a quality there that, you know, they've always been fun.

  • They've always been something Thio for everybody to sort of get involved with, offered a family event, which is great to cake, you know, to take the whole family tune, the proper event cinema.

  • I mean, there's nothing quite like one of the things you have to look too.

  • Stewardship of the of the character that has been a character that's been well taken care of by Barbara properly Michael Wilson.

  • You know, without you know, we're None of us are here about that.

  • But the way that this this thing has been managed over time, I mean it really is.

  • It's unique in that regard.

  • I mean, it's really singular. 00:10:51.100 --> 00:11:1.660 Um, it's not, uh, it's not to be taken for granted that it would necessarily just go on simply because he's a dynamic stories and dynamic characters. 00:11:1.660 --> 00:11:10.710 But they have to be realized and no, they've done that, you know, over time, so I'm not like Gooding regions.

  • Take action.

  • Beautiful locations, beautiful people.

  • E ther character is right.

  • It's not just the character situation, but he is a compelling character, and he has changed over time.

  • Doctor.

  • No bond, No time to die aren't necessarily the same bonds.

  • They share a lot of qualities, but there's been a progression there, and he's a hero.

  • Is here feels of the real world, somehow feels just plausible enough times like now.

  • And seems like throughout the last 60 years since we've always needed here, that straddles two Well, doesn't it?

  • Because it's very kind of a on. 00:11:55.230 --> 00:12:1.270 Maybe you do very up to date usually got something that reflects what's going on in the world, but they have one foot firmly placed in the past. 00:12:1.270 --> 00:12:10.640 So this of there's something unique about them in that sense that there's all this history like it's in his 25 films and that that informs the movie.

  • You watch flawed too, you know, and I think we all like our heroes a little bit flawed.

  • I think that makes them just a little bit more relatable and there's a lot of things we all know we can't do.

  • You can't be James Bond.

  • But you know, there's there's the humanity that I think we all access at some point in some way.

  • And you know, he's an international man of mystery, right?

  • But and every country has a relationship to this man.

  • Yeah, everyone across the globe can identify who James Bond is and wants to go to these movies.

  • And there's just something to be said about that. 00:12:55.770 --> 00:13:5.580 It's Ah, it's a phenomenon, but it's it's, uh it makes sense because of what being Fleming initially did. 00:13:5.590 --> 00:13:25.390 And like you said, Jeffrey, the stewardship and, uh, and the collaboration that I think has existed over the years and in this film as well, great, talented people coming together and telling this guy store, you know, actually got gotten into as a result of having been in this film and played, you know, played lighter.

  • Just talking about the impact that I've actually gotten into, Um, some really hyper secretive, confidential spaces in the United States government.

  • I'm not going to say because you're sorry.

  • Totally serious.

  • Oh, your lighter.

  • Oh, wait. 00:13:56.660 --> 00:14:2.970 I thought you were actually gonna give us something I e o with that. 00:14:2.980 --> 00:14:3.770 How about you guys? 00:14:3.780 --> 00:14:4.090 Good. 00:14:6.130 --> 00:14:11.930 I say you can say it's keeping secrets, right?

  • That film comes out this April.

  • Thank you so much.

  • And I wish you all the best of luck.

  • Thanks.

  • Thank you.

This is the 25th Bond film.
