On the first day of filming on "Die Another Day" on 11th January 2002, James Bond star Pierce Brosnan gave a press interview about his fourth outing as 007. How wrong could any individual be about what they thought a project would become and how it would ultimately turn out? Brosnan gives an unfortunate masterclass in just over ten minutes.
Speaking about a schedule that was packed with "wall to wall action", and the risk of the action overwhelming the movie, Brosnan said of the director: "Lee [Tamahori] is a good man for pulling this down and keeping it a reality based, character driven piece." Ten years later, Brosnan would laugh about the over the top elements of the film for the 50th anniversary documentary "Everything or Nothing: The Untold History of 007".
"Good script. It's got lots of strange ambiance of... tonally it has a quality I haven't read before in a Bond movie" |
