Eerie New Image of Rami Malek's Sinister Villain in NO TIME TO DIE
Thanks to Empire, we have a new photo to share with you from the upcoming James Bond movie, No Time To Die. The image features Rami Malek as the mysterious sinister villain of the film, Safin. We still don’t know for sure who the villain is. But, it’s been rumored and teased that his character will end up being Dr. No.
Director Cary Joji Fukunaga also shared his thoughts on why he's decided against making any changes to the movie during the pandemic.
"My first movie, Sin Nombre, came out during swine flu [pandemic in 2009], and it came out in cinemas in Mexico right when the President of Mexico said, 'Do not go to cinemas. So I had trauma from that experience, and as I was following the news of this, almost every day I was asking [the producers], ‘What’s the plan, guys? Because this isn’t stopping.’
"I don’t think anyone could have foreseen how the world came to a complete standstill, but I did think audiences would not be going to cinemas. You could just fiddle and tweak and it doesn’t necessarily get better. For all intents and purposes, we had finished the film. I had mentally finished the film. Mentally and emotionally."
I’m just excited to see how this story is going to play out and bring an end to Daniel Craig’s version of 007. In this next film, “Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.” That technology will reportedly be based on genetic warfare.
The movie also stars Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, and Ben Whishaw as Q, with Rory Kinnear as Tanner, Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Christoph Waltz as Blofeld, and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter. New cast members include Dali Benssalah, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik, and Lashana Lynch.
No Time To Die is currently scheduled to hit theaters on November 20th, 2020.
