There are data on the 007 series in the world, and there are enthusiastic bond fans who quotes fashionable lines and create personal top 10 lists. Also, even if you know that you will usually settle in the end of the planned harmony, such as the enemy of the exaggerated delusion, "Bond Girl", the secret weapon, the success of the world, the theme song by John Barry, and the opening title. Some movie fans are willing to buy tickets and appreciates Bond's new work. Carry Fukunaga will be classified as the latter movie fans. He remembers that the bond movie he saw for the first time was "007 / beautiful prey (original title: A view to a kill)". Later, I started watching from the Pierce Brosnan era. Among them, "Golden Eye (original title: GOLDENEYE)" was my favorite, but because the work was made into a video game. One of his favorite works is that George Laezennie is the only Bond's "Queen's 007 (original title: on Her Majestys Secret Service)". Fukunaga has been looking back many times in participating in No Time To Dai.

"007 / Casino Royal", which decorates the beginning of Daniel Craig's five works, is also impressive.Fukunaga felt something changed."The Daniel Craig version felt very smart," he said."The 007 series needed to change in line with the movement of the world. What Sean Connery Bond was doing is now completely crime. M, who plays Judy Dench in the previous work before Daniel (Craig).However, there is a scene that calls the bond as "you are an outdated female discriminator, as if it were the relics of the Cold War."

"But Daniel's Bond feels like my generation," says Fukunaga."I like the Daniel Craig version because I feel emotional. I have a personal interest and a realistic loss. I want to go outside from the world of independent films.Looking back on "Beast of Nord" from the "Dark Train, Light Trip" that I have directed so far, "Beast of Nord", which I have directly directed.The theme was only the people who had a wavelength and live on their own. I realized. "

Fukunaga opened his mouth for a while."I'm not an orphan. My family will thank me for knowing it," he analyzes.

However, Fukunaga himself has a strong side of the "outsider".Fukunaga, which has a bloodline of various races, was born and raised in Northern California, and spent his time in Mexico in Mexico with his mother's remarriage.He once talked about his background in an interview with New York Times Magazine (2018)."I don't even know which ethnic groups belong to which ethnic groups. The blood type is O negative, so anyone can transfper on everyone. He has lived as a so -called third -culture child as a specific group, but in the world."Fukunaga nodded lightly and began to choose words.

"Maybe ... I think I'm a strong person who analyzes my psychological status. It doesn't mean that my personality is kind," he says."It means the ability to distinguish the differences between various people. From the experience in the growth process, you can adapt to any environment and match yourself as needed.I don't know. But what is the opponent, even if you jump into a world you've never experienced before, such as "Dark Train, Light Trip" or "Beast of Nord Nation".Any person with a background, for me, was always a reconfirmation of past experiences. Normally, it would be necessary to research to get closer to the details, but as a human.I think the experience is universal. "

"For those who have survived themselves without relying on others while putting themselves in various different cultures, family structure, and social classes, they will definitely be their own food." 。 He says that the outsider's side can be seen in a character built into the world of pop culture, James Bond. That's why James Bond's work was attractive to Fuku Naga. "I can definitely provide what people want. It's an internal monologue of Bond, who thinks what the world is in." Fukunaga, who supervises the journey of light, skips a joke. In addition to the tracking scene and action scene, Fukunaga wanted to shoot a "orthodox" bond movie with beautiful women. And I wanted to be the best James Bond in Daniel Craig. His belief was always to do it. The fact that Fukuunaga himself says that No Time To Dai is a completely personal thought, and you can understand 100 % of the movie.

"Every character that appears in my work is a real person in me. Bond is not the character I created, but he can be confident that he eventually became a real thing for me."He says.However, the true "last" would have been more than expected.

When the first interview in London was about to end, the situation was also talked about in China.It was mid -February 2020.A few months ago, a mysterious virus, which drives the city of Wuhan in China into a blockade, was transmitted to other cities and countries.He was determining trends in the Chinese market, such as the impact on the box office, but everything was proceeding as planned.But Fukunaga seemed to be worried about the changes in the situation in the news.A few weeks later, the word "pandemic" flew during a long interview by phone.Fukunaga seemed to deepen concerns about situations where he had no choice but to watch.

Still, the work was almost completed.Fukunaga managed to survive long and hard production.During the shooting, the protagonist was injured, and the director, Fukunaga, was criticized by British tabloids.In the UK, April 3, 2021, the United States set the scheduled release date, April 8, and the goal line was approaching."I'm excited to see the end," said Fukunaga.

At the end of August 2021, which was interviewed for the third time, "No Time To Dai" became the first major movie that was postponed (and more than once) due to Corona."Do you really do it in a few weeks until the first PR event?"It was like," said Fukunaga.In the finishing stage of the work, Fukunaga felt the pressure of interruption."My first work overlapped with the pandemic (pork flu in 2009), and the Mexican cinema was closed. So this time it's a dejavic experience. Any project will lead to the next.What if my work wouldn't see the sun and still have to continue working? "

After returning to the United States, Fukunaga spent several weeks off in northern New York. In the first interview in London, he talked about the dream project of completing Napoleon films that could not be realized. The work was scheduled to be broadcast as a television Limited series, but has been postponed. He was also involved in re -editing a movie (according to Hollywood Reporter, the work is Joe Bell, starring Mark Walberg). In addition, he has begun rewriting the script of the TV series depicting soldiers during World War I. In the summer of 2020, Fukuunaga, who was tired of the roots, took on a commercial for Perrier in Greece in Greece. During the shooting, Fukunaga received the request of the Anthology series "Masters of the Air" on the theme of World War II, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The series is a sequel to Band of Brothers, which deals with US military bombing units, which are known as Brady Hand Reds. "When I received a phone call, I was on Milos in the shoot and was thinking about what to do for the next year. It was undecided when the Bond movie was released, so let's try it anyway." I got a job. "

The release date of No -Time To Dai was decided in the United States on October 8, 2021, and it came when Director Fukunaga said goodbye to Bond.Looking back on the experience of exhausting both physically and mentally as a director of the big hit series, Fukunaga has a deep knowledge of the process of film production."In the past, it was" in a state of "expressing the blind phenomenon", "he said."I can only understand what I see in front of me," what is the whole thing?"I could only imagine. I was still immature."

"But now, I'm about to be a fourth batter," he continues to screen four works."Still, it's tough to clean up. It's the most difficult task to pack everything in a satisfying way and solidify the story. Finishing Daniel's bond was a responsibility for me, but it was rewarding.He laughs, saying, I think it was a challenge I wanted. ""But I was able to do it this time, so I just do the same next time."
