Director Cary Fukunaga Says No Time to Die is ‘Great As It Is’ Without Added ‘Polish’
Following the recent announcement that the release date of Daniel Craig’s final James Bond film No Time to Die had been delayed until November, fans have been curious as to how the shut down of multiple movie and television productions due to the current pandemic has affected post-production work on the film.
When asked by a fan on Instagram if director Cary Fukunaga and the post-production team were able to “trim it and polish it,” Fukunaga replied, “Some people have asked me this and although more time would have been lovely, we had to put our pencils down when we finished our post-production window, which was thankfully before COVID shut everything else down.”
After a fan asked why they weren’t about to use “such a delay to add some polish,” Fukunaga explained that the “short answer is money. And although Bond is a big movie, we still have to weigh cost with value. And like anything, you could tinker endlessly. The movie is great as it is, hope yall will feel [the] same too when it comes out.”
