60 years, 25 films and countless memories make up the history of James Bond movie . The recent celebration of all those moments happened last week, like in the documentary The sound of 007 debuted on Prime Video, with a concert experience that took place at the Royal Albert Hall. While director Mat Whitecross dug through decades of archival footage and conducted new interviews to paint the picture of how Bond’s sound was transmitted, he also learned something important: apparently, Daniel Craig is a “super fan of the music”.
In addition to this discovery, it was also reinforced that the actor also had a certain fondness for songs to be included in a James Bond film. there is no time to die is perhaps the greatest example of this, as we had previously heard that Daniel Craig apparently rejected an earlier version of this entry’s theme music. However, in his interviews for the documentary, the sixth James Bond actor also admitted that once he knew where the film was going, he wanted Her Majesty’s Secret Service’s “We’ve Got All the Time in the World” to act. . As I talked to Mat Whitecross from the first video (opens in a new tab) and in the name of liberation The sound of 007I recalled this same story above in our interview.
It opened a window for the director to discuss the level of influence he thought Daniel Craig had had on the role of Bond in the 15 years he played him. Here’s what Mat Whitecross told Gossipify about Craig and his influence on Commander Bond:
Yes, I loved it. It is interesting, right? because I think it looks like [Daniel] gradually he became more and more involved in the movies and shaped the character more and more. It looks like he and Barbara [Broccoli]I think it was after the release of Casino Royale a long time ago that they started to hatch the idea of No Time To Die and said “Well, maybe we thought of an appropriate way to end this story arc.” ‘
Because of there is no time to die out there, there have been tons of stories about Daniel Craig planning the death of his James Bond since the first day. Mat Whitecross’s comment in our chat refers directly to a story that Craig himself told Variety as the Berlin premiere of Royal casino This is where this idea was born. If Craig was able to kill Bond, you know he had some sort of flu.
As for Royal casino the star’s musical ability is not the only person to possess this characteristic The sound of 007 list of famous commentators. Mat Whitecross even mentioned Rami Malek as another example of an actor who knew more than he would admit when it came to the music of the franchise. Whitecross discussed encouraging the latest Bond actor, and others, to be a little more geeky, as follows:
I like the fact that I specifically talk about music with Daniel, because I think he is a huge fan of music. [He has that] Like many other actors, he says, “Yeah, you shouldn’t tell me about it.” You should talk to Hans. [Zimmer], or Steve Mazzarro. But in reality he’s incredibly knowledgeable and very, very smart when it comes to music, he just doesn’t believe he is. So I had to keep trying to encourage him and tell him, ‘Honestly, I like everything you say. He is wonderful. … A lot of these guys are all super Bond fans, which is why they did it. But it’s funny how they distrust themselves and think, ‘Well, you know. I’m not a musician, what do I know? ‘ I think the great thing about Bond is that we’re all experts on it. We’ve been living with the songs and music from those movies for so long that we’re all Bond experts now.
There is another story that absolutely seals Daniel Craig’s love for music, be it James Bond or whatever. It just happens that one of the best sections of The sound of 007 it involved both Craig and former Bond collaborator Sam Mendes and their love for Radiohead. It is a fandom that has produced not one but two alternative themes for Spectrum , which were eventually discontinued. Mat Whitecross himself was also surprised, fondly recalling this conversation:
It’s a lot of fun, because Sam Mendes is an Oscar-winning director. [and] Daniel Craig [is] one of the most famous actors of all time, and they are both small fans when it comes to Radiohead. He was very sweet and charming, that they were in love with Radiohead, and that Radiohead was probably in love with Sam and Daniel.
Daniel Craig’s love stories for James Bond music are only part of what you can expect The sound of 007. With a myriad of stories spanning the franchise’s six-decade history, there’s an incredible story that even hardcore Bond fans are ready to experience. If you have a Prime Video subscription , you can enjoy this documentary, as well as the special concert taken from the eponymous event in the Royal Albert Hall. Plus, you can watch all 25,007 movies; which is always fun to do.
