Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture The action film genre has spawned many endearing protagonists whose adventures have been chronicled over the course of multiple installments. Although there is always a risk that a franchise may go stale after audiences get used to the inherent clichés of the genre, the James Bond series has shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
While Fleming’s novels provided the explanation for why 007 was constantly in danger, the Bond films have exemplified this suspense through the prioritization of action sequences. The release of Dr. No in 1962 kicked off a new wave of action cinema that featured exotic locations, high-tech gadgets, and practically performed stunt sequences.
‘No Time To Die’ Tread New Ground for a James Bond Movie Although none of his would-be assassins have managed to put a bullet in his chest, Bond was killed off for the first time in the film No Time To Die. In the final installment of Daniel Craig’s run as the character, Bond travels to a remote island controlled by the malevolent terrorist Lyutsifer Safin , who has captured both his love interest, Madeline Swann , and their young daughter, Mathilde .
While the decision was largely controversial among Bond fans, Craig voiced his enthusiasm for killing off the character. Craig revealed that he felt the character should be “reset” so that the next actor cast in the role would have the opportunity to completely reinvent the character and feel more unique. Although casting rumors about the next Bond continue to pop up, there will undoubtedly be a lot of pressure on whoever is tasked with fulfilling Craig’s legacy.
