As I mentioned yesterday when I wrote up my interview with Moneypenny herself, Naomi Harris, I was recently invited to London to participate in a press event tied to the Blu-ray release of No Time to Die (available now). While in London, I got to participate in all kinds of fun activities, and I even got to test drive a Landrover Defender through a crazy obstacle course set up to allow some of us bloggers and journalists to feel like 007 briefly. I did ok (I think). I have some video from that coming soon so stay tuned!
I also got to speak to some of the talent involved with the film, which nicely complemented my interviews from the No Time to Die theatrical junket a few months back. First up was Billy Magnussen, who plays Logan Ash, a mysterious C.I.A agent assigned to help Bond but has a few secrets. Now, I should mention that this interview is filled with SPOILERS, so watch at your peril!
Next up was David Dencik, who plays the villainous Dr. Valdo Obruchev. What’s interesting is that Dencik almost felt like acting in a Bond film was fate, given that so many of his Danish countrymen, including Mads Mikkelsen and Jesper Christensen, have shown up as 007 heavies. Dencik was also present for Daniel Craig’s last day ever as James Bond, and he tells the priceless story in our interview.
Suffice to say, the entire experience was incredible, and I’m very fortunate in this COVID-19 era to have been able to participate in such a wonderful event. No Time to Die is now available – pick up a copy here!
