Death can wait : the end of the Daniel Craig era
In 2006, Daniel Craig has become the new face of James Bond, taking over from Pierce Brosnan. If the choice of the blue-eyed blond actor had initially left us perplexed, his interpretation in Casino Royale quickly silenced the skeptics. The Daniel Craig era began and continued Quantum of comfort (2008), Sky fall (2012) then Spectrum (2015).
But after 15 years of good and loyal service, the actor decided to move on. With Death can wait (2021)played Daniel Craig for the last time the famous agent 007. A conclusion that was necessarily expected and that caused discussion.
As a reminder, in this work, James Bond has to face Safin (Rami Malek), an enemy from the past of the woman he loves, Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux). If he succeeds in ending Safin’s desire to take over the world, 007 is ultimately not victorious. Because during the last fight of him it is infected with nanobots programmed to kill Madeleine and her daughter Mathilde. Which condemns him to never go near them again…
The director of Royal Casino expresses his opinion on the death of James Bond
We could have left it there. James Bond could have simply gone to the other side of the world, as far away from his family as possible. But no, the hero decides to give up and he lets himself die without resistance while the island where it is about to be bombed.
Bond is dead. A screenplay choice that was not appreciated by all. Because killing such a symbol is all the same bold. However, one of the big names in the Bondian saga he is quite at peace with this decision. AND Martin Campbellwhich produced especially the excellent Golden eye (1995). But if his opinion matters, it’s also and above all because Daniel Craig era started with him with Casino Royale.
In an interview given to The daily expressthe director said that the death of James Bond does not had no problems. Simply because with this saga, from one era to another, it is not necessary to take into account what has been done before. James Bond is dead Death can waitbut it will be alive for future movies and it won’t be you don’t even have to explain anything!
To be honest, I thought it was fine. He was killed, which is good because when they next Jump, they will completely ignore the fact that he was killed. And Bond will continue. It’s that simple. No need for explanation, right? Daniel Craig was Bond and now the next one is alive. It will not be a problem.
Not everyone can agree with him, but Martin Campbell is at least clear about his position.
