James Bond: No Time To Die Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to No Time To Die!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
With five movies and fifteen years under his belt, Daniel Craig is officially the actor who has played James Bond for the longest time. Before he passes the torch onto the next actor to take on 007, Craig gets one last hurrah as the MI6 agent in No Time To Die.
No Time To Die definitely raises some questions though. Like is it dangerous to stand next to exploding graves? Why is that bridge perfectly designed for escapes? Is that De Niro?! How did Blofeld get and use a bionic eyeball and continue to run Spectre with it while in MI6 custody? How do nanobots work? Why did every single member of Spectre get together in one spot? What’s Safin’s deal, anyway?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to No Time To Die! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

The only real error with depiction of Bond's EMP emmiter is the igniting of the bionic eye. Although Q doesn't say so, all of Bond's and fem007's electronic equipment would be very realistically presumed to be EMP resistant. Integrated circuitry is very vulnerable to EMP. Large load electrical components such as lever switches, large electric motors, etc to open/close blast doors aren't affected by EMP.

@@grantmalone she had a hero complex and occasionally stepped over the line when it came to punishing people that had wronged her or innocent people (such as the slavers, not the tarly's they got what they deserved, it's a medieval setting, it's a war, they killed her strongest westerosi ally and fought against her). But in terms of her attitude to the common people and trying to protect those who've been oppressed by society, only Jon Snow comes close to her in that regard. Never forget the scene where Jorah says "don't bother taking that city, it won't get you any closer to westeros and the Iron throne, you have no reason to take it" to which she replies something along the lines of "there 300000 slaves in yunkai, so we have 300000 reasons to take the city" So no, burning down 1 million innocent people for no reason with no remorse simply makes no sense
