Ana de Armas Explains Why There's No Need For Female James Bond

Los Angeles, July 20 - Daniel Craig has bid adieu to the iconic James Bond character with the release of 2021's James Bond: No Time to Die, and the search for a new actor to play this role is still on. In this process, there have been discussions over a female to play James Bond in the near future if not immediately. ## Ana de Armas, who also starred in last year's "No Time to Die" as Paloma, a CIA agent assisting Bond, however, believes that there is no need for a female James Bond and she has explained her reasons for the same. Reportedly, the creators of the movie have been looking out for the opposite sex as a replacement for Daniel's Bond character.## Speaking to The Sun, the 34-year-old actress noted, "There's no need for a female Bond. There shouldn't be any need to steal someone else's character, you know, to take over". ## While talking about Bond's role who is depicted as a misogynist, the "Deep Water" star added, "This is a novel, and it leads into this James Bond world and this fantasy of that universe where he's at. What I would like is that the female roles in the Bond films, even though Bond will continue to be a man, are brought to life in a different way".## "Women are given a more substantial part and recognition. That's what I think is more interesting than flipping things", she explained.## Ana de Armas, meanwhile, can be seen in Russo Brothers' "The Gray Man". It also stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Dhanush, and Julia Butters, among others in key roles. The movie is currently playing in theaters and will start streaming on Netflix on July 22. ## Stay tuned...

Netflix Considering To Take Theatrical Route For Daniel Craig's 'Knives Out' Sequel

Mumbai, May 18 - It might sound strange or unbelievable to say that movies backed by OTT platforms going the theatrical way but it seems this is indeed going to happen as Netflix is considering releasing some movies in theaters this year with an exclusive theatrical window of 45 days. ## During the covid-19 pandemic, the popularity of streaming platforms has gone up exponentially. However, it looks like Netflix has understood what theaters bring as it is finally reportedly opening up more to the theatrical experience. ## Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw reported on Sunday that Netflix is considering releasing some movies in theaters this year with an exclusive theatrical window of 45 days. That's longer than the window Netflix has typically given the movies it releases in theaters, and more in line with what is emerging as a new windowing standard. ## One of the movies the streaming giant is considering bringing to theaters is Daniel Craig's "Knives Out" sequel. Scheduled to release in late 2022, "Knives Out 2" mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It is the sequel to 2019's movie that was a surprise box-office hit, grossing $165 million in the US and $311 million worldwide in 2019 off of a $40 million production budget. ## This is not the first time Netflix is taking the theatrical route for its movies. The recently released Oscar-nominated movies, "Don't Look Up" and "The Power of the Dog," were given two-week theatrical windows before they became available to stream. ## Stay tuned...

At Last Daniel Craig Talks About His James Bond Ending In 'No Time To Die'

Mumbai, January 31 - The No Time To Die ending was pretty seismic for the franchise. We saw, for the very first time, James Bond die on screen. Now, Daniel Craig has finally spilled on what his Bond's final moments meant to him and revealed the idea to kill off the iconic spy first popped into his head while filming 2006's Casino Royale.## "I had this idea, I wanted to kill him off a long time ago – in Casino Royale – for all sorts of reasons," Craig said while talking to Javier Bardem, who previously played the villain Raoul Silva in Skyfall, for Variety (via ScreenRant). ## "One, purely egotistical. I feel like I needed to end what I did on it. I would be only satisfied if I could walk away and there was nowhere else for that to go, that someone else would have to come along and invent something completely different. But also because I thought that was a good way for it to continue, and I knew that the only way to make it work was that it had to be based on love, and every time that we've gone emotionally into this, it pays back every time.## Where exactly the James Bond series goes from here remains to be seen. There are already countless names in the hat to take over as the next James Bond – click that link for the biggest actors in contention – while other ideas have circulated online for how the franchise may continue. We have a debrief on what could possibly be next for James Bond, while we also previously spoke to Tom Holland about his pitch for a young James Bond film – however, that later turned into the Uncharted movie.## Stay tuned...

James Bond Producer Confirms Idris Elba Being Considered As The Next 007

Los Angeles, Jan 21 (IANS) Hollywood star Idris Elba is still in contention to be the next James Bond. Having long been touted to be the first black 007, the 'Luther' actor is confirmed to be "part of the conversation" for the new iteration of the famous British spy.## It's producer Barbara Broccoli herself who spilled the possibility of Elba joining the franchise, reports aceshowbiz.com.## "Well, we know Idris, we're friends with him, and he's a magnificent actor," she told Deadline.## "And, you know, it's been part of the conversation, but it's always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat". Broccoli, however, noted that they're in no rush to name Daniel Craig's replacement.## She shared: "I think we have decided that until 'No Time to Die' has had its run and Daniel has been able to, well, we've all been able to savor, reap the benefits of Daniel's wonderful tenure, we're not gonna think about, or talk about anybody else".## 'No Time to Die', which is billed as Craig's swan song in his role as 007, went on to become the second-highest grossing movie of the pandemic with $774 million worldwide after a long delay due to the Covid pandemic.## Despite the apparent struggle of the movie industry to convince audiences to return to theaters, Broccoli said she and other studio executives kept their faith in the irreplaceable attraction of cinemas.## "We believe in the power of the theatrical release and the cinema, and that's what we've always done, and that's what 'Bond' has always done, and we cannot agree to go PVOD, not only just for the health of our brand and our movie but we can't do that to the cinema industry," Broccoli said about having "No Time to Die" stick to its theatrical release.## "We can't do it to the exhibitors".## Stay tuned...

Daniel Craig doesn't want James Bond to be streamed

Los Angeles, Dec 25 (IANS) Hollywood star Daniel Craig has urged people not to stream James Bond films because "event movies" deserve to be seen on a big cinema screen. ## Craig said: "One of the greatest things that's happened is we got this movie into the cinema. ## "That's where Bond movies should be. They don't look so good on a phone. They look great on an Imax screen. It looks great on a 30ft screen. ## "And they are family events. It gets the family out. As long as there's event movies like this then cinemas got a chance of surviving." ## While Daniel's Bond successor has yet to be announced, the 'Knives Out' star has offered some tips for whoever takes over as the suave spy, reports femalefirst.co.uk. ## He told The Sun newspaper: "There's a couple things I'd say. One is don't be s***. I would say you have to grab it and make it your own." ## For the new Bond, Craig thinks the franchise is in a "good place" and he believes there are still a lot of good stories to be told. ## He added: "I hope I've left it in a good place and I hope the next person can just make it fly. It's an amazing franchise. I still think there's a lot of stories to tell." ## He recently shared that he thought it was "very satisfying" that Bond was apparently killed at the end of 'No Time To Die' after he sacrificed himself to save partner Madeleine (Lea Seydoux) and his daughter Mathilde (Lisa-Dorah Sonnet). ## Reflection on the dramatic finale, he said: "There were lots of different ideas that came and went and some of it stuck. The through line of this is family (and) love, plus the fact we had an end so it was about hanging the film off that." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Such Updates.
