Big-screen action experience comes back in cinemas on Dec. 15 when “No Time to Die” finally opens in the Philippines nationwide.
Brimming with spectacular stunts and breathtaking scenes from different locations around the globe, “No Time To Die” is meant to be experienced on the big screen.
Note the film marks Daniel Craig’s final outing as the iconic secret agent James Bond.
Craig always tries to put as much of himself on screen as possible when filming his action scenes.
“Because Daniel does the stunts himself, he has huge input into how they are designed and created,” producer Barbara Broccoli confirms.
Craig’s willingness to put his body on the line adds much to his character, says Broccoli.
“Thanks to Daniel, you really believe that Bond is in peril or that he can get hurt,” she says. “He does get hurt and he feels it.”
Behind the film’s stunts are Olivier Schneider and Lee Morrison along with special effects supervisor Chris Corbould whose works from previous to the latest Bond films contributed a colossal effect on the success of the franchise worldwide.
Another of Corbould’s greatest strengths is his work with explosions; the blowing up of the villain’s lair in Spectre entered the book of Guinness World Records as the largest explosion ever executed in a motion picture.
There are two large explosions featured in No Time To Die. The first ignites in Valdo’s lab. After achieving a World Record on Spectre, the Bond team hope they might also secure another with “No Time To Die.”
“There is a record for the most high explosive in one shot,” shares Corbould. “We had 135.4kg in ours, so I’m hoping that that goes through. It’d be nice to get a record on
every Bond film!”
“What was so important to us was that this film be shown in the cinemas because it has this beautiful landscape… It’s a visual feast in the way it’s been designed and shot. We’re just so thrilled we were able to open in cinemas,” said producer Brocolli from Deadline’s Contenders Film in New York.
