Index – Culture – 007 almost cut a vein

To Hungarian viewers, Rami Malek, born in the United States of Egyptian descent, is best known for his unforgettable performance in Bohemian Rhapsody, for which he won an Oscar. Also, he made his name in America in the Mr. Robot series, but now he’s appearing in another great play, The Jubilee, the 25th James Bond movie, this time as the lead. He plays James Bond’s main opponent, Safin.

Neither Rami Malek nor the journey of the latest James Bond film was easy until the premiere. The originally scheduled premiere had to be postponed several times, the most recent since the scheduled April date, which in this case could also be attributed to the Covid epidemic.

I got that money

However, this is by no means the only issue the creators have had to grapple with. Initially, it was also doubtful whether Daniel Craig, who played Bond, would be involved in another film after Casino Royale (2006), Silence of Quantum (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Specter (2015). Initially, he said, “It would cut my wrists sooner than in another Bond movie!” He later linked his involvement with the person of Sam Mendes, the director of the two previous Bond films. Mendes didn’t end up in the crew in the end, but despite his earlier statements, Craig still took the lead, some rumors saying he was relieved of a gasoline price of around $ 100 million.

However, the chaos surrounding the headmaster’s person continued. First, in 2017, Yann Demange, David Mackenzie, and Denis Villeneuve emerged as potential directors, and then in 2018, Danny Boyle won the award, known as Trainspotting, The Coast, Ghetto Millionaire, and Steve Jobs, among others. However, after some discussions, he was removed from the staff and eventually the not-so-well-known Cary Joji Fukunaga became the finalist.

In addition to the studios, the film was shot in Italy, Norway, Jamaica and the Faroe Islands, but the recordings had to be interrupted several times. First, Daniel Craig sustained an ankle injury during filming, requiring him to undergo a minor operation, and then an explosion in the film also damaged the studio, further delaying work.

Hans Zimmer is the jumper

During the filming of the movie, practically nothing went right, not even the theme of the soundtrack. Dan Romer was first asked to compose this, but he differed from some members of the team, so he did not produce the melodies in the end. This was finally carried out by the German Hans Zimmer, who had already lived a long time and turned out well elsewhere, in January 2020, that is, after filming was completed. He had already written about 150 soundtracks (The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, Origin, The Dark Knight and others), so it might seem like a logical choice in the clutches of time.

Rami Malek’s character is Safin, whom producer Barbara Broccoli says will really get on Bond’s nerves after personalizing the two of them while trying to get involved with people to whom James Bond shows a personal bond, most notably Dr. Swann. , whom you met in the previous section. Actor Rami Malek himself said that he sees himself as a hero like Safin Bond, while director Fukunaga says that the character played by Rami Malek will be the most dangerous villain Bond has ever fought, which, of course, if it really is, yes. serious performance.

Of course, the film also features another former star, Ralph Fiennes, who is perhaps best remembered by viewers as the creator of Voldemort from the Harry Potter films, or for his memorable portrayal as the Red Dragon serial killer. Here, however, you will be on the right side, as British intelligence chief and Bond. By the way, he has appeared in Hungarian-related films on several occasions, including the Grand Hotel in Budapest and László Almássy in The English Patient. Then the star list is given, we can make the popcorn!

However, Judi Dench will not be present, of course, who, to the chagrin of many, has been discarded from other films as the character she plays died at the end of the Skyfall episode. Despite all the previous issues surrounding its completion and even its presentation, the film looks promising, which is why we are looking forward to the November premiere, especially since the film will feature Aston Martin’s latest and most popular sports car, the Valhalla, along with several other Aston Martin models such as the DB5, DBS Superleggera, and V8 Vantage. The Valhalla will be the first streetcar to use the Castrol Nexcel 90-second oil change system, as well as the well-known KERS from Formula One.
