“How to do James Bond?” : Without the intervention of this assistant, this scene from Skyfall can become a laughter of the whole saga

Even if our name is Sam Mendes and we won an Oscar for the best director, we are not immunity when making big mistakes! The director paid the price on Skyfall 13 years ago. If you know the movie well, you probably have a floating casino scene in Macao.

The gloves of disagreement

In this sequence, Daniel Craig wanted to show quite a pair of gloves that he had just acquired impromptu travels. For the actor, this character is well suited for the story at the moment.

He then asked Sam Mendes’s permission to prove the idea. Under other conditions it would not be a problem. However, in this sequence, wearing gloves was not suitable at all!

Indeed, in this episode, the 007 has a Walther PPK pistol with the acknowledgment of the palm and this plays a very important role in the plot. Thus, it is impossible that James Bond could use this weapon with gloves, otherwise he would not be able to shoot. Journalist Charlie Linn said That tells an anecdotalThis mistake may cost millions of dollars.

At the time “Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig have destroyed the weight of the studio and the expectations of the income of this colossal film have been expected.Show Charlie Linn.

Sam Mendes, under pressure

Under pressure, Sam Mendes did not pay attention, of course, to manage a lot more than James Bond gloves. Later, in the editing hall, the film crew watches rushes. Naturally, when it comes time to see a casino scene in which the bad guy is trying to shoot 007 weapons, the editor’s attentive assistant notes:

“Wait for a minute. The logic is that the bad guy will not be able to shoot a bond gun because he has a fingerprint reader. But if so, how should he shoot Bond … wearing gloves?”Asks the technician.

Suddenly, heavy silence stops throughout the room … The blood of the manufacturers is wild. They begin to calculate what it costs to transform the whole scene due to Sam Mendes’s mistake. The herbs fall quickly. If they start filming again, this will generate millions of dollars at extra costs and this is absolutely not possible.

Basic Digital Retinking

Just a solution? Digitally remove Daniel Craig’s gloves. “If you look at the scene today, you see that Bond’s ridiculous pudgy hands, because in every frame he wore these large leather gloves that have become digitally strengthened.”Based on Charlie Linn.

You see the result in the video above, on the combat scene requiring a well -known digital retus. This mistake, which cost Eon Productions precious millions of greenery, would eventually have no results; Skyfall has become the biggest success of James Bond’s film, with $ 1.1 billion collected worldwide (200 million for the expected budget).
