My Interview with Cary Joji Fukunaga | Director of NO TIME TO DIE

[@TheBenjaminDoughty]

Man - you’re a great interviewer. You manage to Have very natural and human Conversations as opposed to the scripted and mechanical approach seen in the rest of this press Junket. Well done

[@RolandHulme]

Omg, David, the way his eyes widened and he froze when you asked that first question. It was clearly SO unexpected. Cary must have gone through so many dreary repeats of the same questions and then BAM in you come right from left field. Love it. I loved this interview. Man, you're beyond good at getting the best out of people.

Such a refreshing interview! Great to have an actual Bond fan get to do these interviews. Asking engaging questions about the production unlike a typical reporter.

In these past two press junket interviews you have been absolutely fantastic - asking fresh interesting questions that us die hard fans would want to ask while relaxing with a completely normal discussion on all kinds of other elements.

[@grahambird4135]

Good interview, seen the picture a few times now gets better every viewing, beautifully directed and for me the perfect ending, made me cry and to be emotionally attached like that… well you can’t ask for more. The only other Bond to stir emotions like that OHMSS.

Nice interview, looks like all the hard work you put into this channel which we appreciate pays off. Makes us all winners. Having watched from the days of the frugal bond the vids keep getting better.

Another excellent job David. Junkets are usually a case of listening to the same questions over and over again, so when you get a chance to throw something from left field its important to see it land and watch the cogs turn before the answer comes out.

[@harryherman5371]

Watched NTTD for the second time, its an outstanding Craig movie second to Casino Royale in terms of craft. I have literally no idea why all these Jordan Peterson incel types are getting butthurt about 'woke' diversity in the movie, it didn't hinder the quality at all. Its not the 60's anymore and smacking girls on the ass and saying 'man talk' would be beyond tacky now, get over it.

[@onelifedental5607]

I wish David would make more mention of Quantum of Solace to anyone he interviews from the franchise to know how much it has aged better than most other films.

[@Mr.Wayne.1]

The “hate” with Quantum is, they want a good story etc… Its an DIRECT sequel, the story already been told in Casino. Quantum is one of my fave 007 movies. The opening scene, bel tower scene, Opera, the music, so on so on

[@onelifedental5607]

Keep Bond dark, grounded, and gritty. Or else the films won't age well. All the memorable ones like OHMSS, LTK, CR, QoS were ahead of their time. A smaller budget Bond film will certainly help writers and directors focus more on quality and reduce risk of falling back into unwelcome cliches (i.e. effects to give villains an unrealistic look and megalomaniacal, invisible cars etc)

[@tiotom9217]

QoS is a terrible film that hadn't improved with time. It's only Bond hipsters who claim otherwise.

[@There_Will_Be_Bond]

Great question about the continuous shot.

[@johnmckenzie6661]

I'm not really a fan of No Time to Die. It almost felt like two different movies. They had the Bond film, in which he fights an evil genius on his island lair who plans to kill millions of people with his DNA targeting nanobots. That would have been a great Bond film. But then they also had a different movie, with a completely different tone. A film about an ex hitman protecting his love interest and young daughter from assassins. That could have also been a cool film. Had each of these concepts been two independent movies, they both would have worked, and both would have been awesome. Unfortunately, they took these two different films and spliced them into one. I did like the Ana de Armas scene. What a charming actress. A great character. And a really fun scene. She was criminally underutilized in this film. Let's hope they bring her back in the next one, because that's someone who I want to see. As for the Black lady 007 (whose name I'm forgetting). Her character wasn't as annoying as I thought she would be. That said, very one dimensional. It's like they took a single joke ("Wouldn't it be funny if 007 retired and they reassigned his number to another agent? Haha!") and built an entire character around that single joke. The fact is, the movie wouldn't have changed in any way had that character not existed. Think about it. What would have been different had that character not existed at all? Not a single thing. Everything would have played out exactly the same. This character literally just existed for the sole purpose of making that single joke. Not exactly great writing.

[@bobsmithy9024]

If the ending isn't a bait and switch and Bond is really dead.. I think it's a catastrophic mistake. Ruins the immortal vibe the character always possessed and destroys the continuity. I doubt Ian Fleming and Albert Broccoli would be that happy! 😒 I wasn't aware Daniel Craig created James Bond but apparently the hired actor has the power to decide Bond must die. Whatever.

[@ShawHortonMusic]

@@bobsmithy9024 I would’ve preferred he got to go off and live with Madeline and their daughter. I suppose you could say that a tragic ending fits Craig’s version of Bond (his ideal has always been out of reach), but I also think it would’ve been very satisfying to finally see him get that “happy ending” that he’s never quite been able to find and keep.

What James Bond fan could be truly happy about what happens at the end of the film!!!!? When I come out of a James Bond film, the last thing I want to be is on a downer!!! The ending completely ruined for me what was otherwise a very entertaining Bond adventure!

We saw the movie for the first time yesterday. I do have to say that both my wife and I were disappointed with the end. My wife actually cried. I had a feeling going into this flick that this may be the case, but I would have liked to see an ending that was more of an open door.

The most important question is : Why did you decide to make a soap opera family drama constructed around diversity checkboxes, instead of a James Bond movie?

[@sonnykingcomposer]

Constructed by Diversity Checkboxes? What's that supposed to mean?

[@sonnykingcomposer]

@Josef Levy Yeah I've seen NTTD and.... Okay? I did like Nomi and thought she had a nice dynamic with Bond, and her arc of coming around to him at the end was great..I don't see how she's just 'diversity checkbox' when imo she was a pretty good addition

[@sonnykingcomposer]

@Josef Levy Honestly I thought it was pretty great. Sure, not perfect, but still great and imo a satisfying send off for Craig. How exactly is it forced diversity though?

[@sonnykingcomposer]

@Josef Levy Yeah but, that's completely fair imo. 60s Bond was very dodgy at points and I think it's good to acknowledge that and say that times have rightfully changed.

[@sonnykingcomposer]

@Josef Levy No...? We've had great female characters, we've had great black character before.... Idc what the new 007 agents is, as long as I like them. It also makes sense in universe, ofc someone will replace 007 after he retires.

Great interview david. I watched it twice now and to be honest, it will be my last. My opinions sadly doesn't change. I am really upset as I hyped this for so long and wanted to love it like i expected from trailers. In fact, my second viewing I hated it ever more as I noticed even more problems, plot holes and bad editing moments. For instance, when bond is in the rubber dinghy. It then cuts straight to him opening the garage door? For a film so long, there's so much wasted scenes and scenes cut I would have liked to see. But after the pre titles the film turns into a soap opra and it's rather boring. The villian was under used and his real motives not clear or even what those light rod things on the island were. But my biggest fault is the ending. I will never accept it or think it's acceptable. It was a cheap tactic to try create motion for us bond fans and it wasnt needed. I could possible accept it over time if it was handled better, but just didnt buy it of thought it was believable. If I was interviewing Cary I would be honest and say, wtf have you done to the franchise and the gun barrel. I dont mind change, but NTTD took things too far, especially the daughter aspect which was also not beleivable or handled well. Sorry David, rant over. I'm a huge bond fan but I really hated nttd and didnt feel it was worth all tha wait. :(
