Danny Boyle: Did the director really want to let James Bond die?

It could have been a very special one: star director Danny Boyle (62, "Slumdog Millionaire") was in charge of the final Bond film starring Daniel Craig (51, "Fascination"), but the collaboration ultimately did not materialize , As an official reason "artistic differences" were stated - and these are, it seems, above all the possible death of the popular secret agent.

The only question is: who wanted to let Bond die and who wanted to prevent that? There are very different statements about this. One source told the British Daily Mail that Boyle wanted to see 007 die in the end - and the producers objected. If it was up to him, Bond would have said goodbye to life in the arms of Madeleine Swann, aka Léa Seydoux (33, "Blue is a warm color"), in the 25th part: "Boyle thought that killing 007 would be brilliant Way to introduce a new bond, "said one source. The producers should therefore have seen it differently - and therefore Boyle should ultimately have thrown.



The exact opposite

For insiders, this information is now very surprising because they are the exact opposite of previous speculation. According to the British tabloid "The Sun", in August 2018, producer Barbara Broccoli wanted to see Bond die in a spectacular finale - and Boyle would have refused because he had found the idea "ridiculous".

Should Bond die now or not? Security will probably only be the next part, in which now Cary Fukunaga (41, "True Detective") is the director and should come to the cinemas in 2020. And the Bond movie is likely to be doubly exciting after these rumors.

How director Danny Boyle knew "straight away" that Himesh Patel should be the star of "Yesterday" (May 2024).
