"Daniel - this is how you start a film, it's what everyone's been talking about.
SPECTRE just opens spectacularly.
It's just been amazing so I'm sure even get asked loads about the opening scene I can
see why because when I watched it I was like how did he do this it's just so
seamless and it looked too good to be green screen. How did this even....?"
"There's special effects in there of course, there are because it would be impossible to do
without but there's a tradition in Bond - we do it for real!
The helicopters were real. The stuff we fake we hope it kind of it fits
in and it's seamless and you don't get taken out you know?
That's a special effects but I think the job is done by
the whole team. It's done by the stunt department who set the
whole thing up and it came together I mean I'm it excites me and I know what's
going on." "It was phenomenal! There's plenty of fighting in here as well - how did you feel when
they told you have to go against Dave Bautista, because he is solid! I know
you are, but that man is huge!"
"Yeah, ok, ok! (laughs) He is a delightful delightful human being and we are so blessed and lucky to
have had him in the movie. You know, the conversation came up. We wanted a really good Bond
bad guy, henchman, whatever you want to call it, and the thing about David is
that he's big but he moved so quickly, just terrifying, and he's an athlete.
I love working with him he's great to work with. He's really safe,
he knows what he's doing is very relaxed
and just scary! Really scary!" "Were you down the gym like twice a day?" "That wouldn't have helped!"
"The film, like I said, is just phenomenal all the way through and I think the remit was
'make it better than Skyfall' - do you think you've achieved that?"
"I think so. I'm massively proud of Skyfall, it's a very different movie
it's quite a dark movie; it's a sad story, it's about Judy and
M's demise and that I just think stands alone and this one was just about
we wanted to make it go somewhere else. We wanted to celebrate Bond and I
think Sam has done a tremendous job and that I think we've achieved it
myself"
"You have a really difficult job though, I mean being Bond is a huge job"
"Oh, it's terrible, awful!" "You have people constantly saying things about the role while you're
doing it, while you're making it, and I would find that difficult
constantly so what's been the most frustrating thing during the movie
making process that you've heard, or do you just block it all out?"
"I don't read it. I really don't. I don't get involved. There's nothing you can do
about it. You can't control it so therefore just leave it alone and you
know, it doesn't come to the set. We're just working, just doing our jobs and
there's so many people on set I'm working with them - we're all trying to make the movie
better and make it
do the best we can so it doesn't it doesn't enter into the
conversation." "I don't want to speculate anything about what you coming back or not because
I like you as Bond, but having done it now for so long for the next one whenever he
does come along, what advice do you have?" "Just make it great. I mean it's a
wonderful wonderful job to do. Whoever does it in the future, it's just it's a real
blessing so take advantage of it." "They've got a tough act to follow, Daniel, thank you so much".
