Yeah that’s why I rather like the No Time To Die title brings named after one of Cubby’s films. It acknowledges the importance of the movies themselves and Broccoli for Bond, because although Fleming certainly invented him, at this point Saltzman and Broccoli pretty much have equal standing with him in terms of creating the character and world we know today: it’s not really just ‘Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007’.
Never cared for their switching up autos and always though the DB5 should be present because it is Bond's iconic car. Lotus Esprit not withstanding because of it's underwater ability.
Which films did you grow up on?
Yeah, excellent example.
Exactly. As I said, nothing wrong with personal preference. As far as I'm concerned you may even prefer a version of Bond that is female, lesbian and black. That would be your legit, personal preference and I wouldn't judge that. It would bother me if someone said "this is what Bond is supposed to be".
Do you get a chance to see it undubbed in Kolkata?
Well I am too, but even to me it feels slightly like overkill! :)
Actually last 2 bond films release in 4 languages (English/Hindi/Tamil/Telegu) here in India, don't know if they did for CR & QOS before that because SF was the first bond film I watched in theatre. My father is a bond fan not as hardcore as I am but he did watch GF/TSWLM/GE in theaters even after my grandfather's restrictions :)) (he also told me GF was the biggest of all never saw such crowd after that and newspapers wrote about it's success for a week) but neither of those were dubbed.
Majority of English films will be released in English and Hindi all over India but Tamil and Telegu is only for two states here. I watched SF in English and then in Hindi(dubbing artists did a brilliant job in this one, whoever did that understood bond film completely) and it was fun watching in two different language. SP ruined the experience for me. I don't have high hopes for NTTD dubbing because after 2013 indian mainstream actors have started dubbing films a lot. I would rather prefer people who have years of experience doing that but don't know if I will watch NTTD in Hindi it would depend if they don't let any popular actors get close to it. Still NTTD will be the first bond film I'll be watching in IMAX, can't wait for it 8-}
Does the same person always play Daniel Craig?
I didn't understood what you were trying to say? Please elaborate
Sorry: I mean do you always get the same Indian actor dubbing Craig's performances even in different films? I'm always interested in how this works.
Ah, I believe shaktee Singh is his name who gave Daniel's bond voice, don't know much about him.

Yup he is the one who did most of Daniel's or a lot voice for English films and he did confirm that he is giving voice in NTTD-
There was something odd about dubbing in SP.
I have problem with popular actor's getting involved in it just for the sake of marketing which ruins the experience for me. Artists who are well trained or give some effort are the one's I like. Here's two examples-
Lion king original teaser had voice of Kabir bedi as Mufasa (that guy has an amazing voice imo and he was henchmen in OP I believe).
But they changed the decision and later decided shahrukh Khan will give the voice
which to be honest was worst even though he is decent actor but a terrible voice artist.
3 Photos from New teaser of Q. We finally get to see his home.
Ah interesting: a bit like how there's been a move to famous actors being in animated movies in Hollywood rather than just voice artists, cast for their voices, over the last twenty years or so. Disney movies in the 60s/70s/80s didn't have big stars doing the voices, now they do.
What do they mean by “pick-ups”?
Just filming additional scenes. They definitely already have a rough cut of the movie and pick ups sessions are pretty much a standard for big blockbuster films.
Spot on. Just an example: the Downey Jr. “I am Iron Man” at the end of Endgame was a last minute pick up.
DC arrived in London a few days ago to.
Pick Ups are extra shots which, as they finely edit the scenes, they feel they need to make a scene work/play better, or, in basic terms, shots that were missed during the initial principle photography.
So he isn't done playing Bond yet!
