No Time To Die’s Ana De Armas Describes Her New Bond Girl

As far as long-running franchises go, there are few quite as prolific as the James Bond movies. 007 has entertained moviegoers for decades, and Eon Productions is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Next up for the Martini-drinking MI6 agent is Cary Joji Fukunaga's No Time to Die, which will mark Daniel Craig's final movie as Bond. The cast is rounded out by faces old a new, including Knives Out's Ana de Armas as newcomer Paloma. And now we have more of an idea about the character.

The events of No Time to Die are being kept under wraps, as the upcoming spy blockbuster only recently wrapped principal photography. Fans are particularly eager to lean about the new characters that will be making their introduction in the 25th installment in the beloved property. Luckily Anna de Armas recently spoke to her upcoming Bond girl, saying:

Well, that's certainly exciting. It looks like Paloma isn't going to be a picture perfect figure in No Time to Die. She'll instead be flawed, likely adding some realism to the larger than life franchise.

Ana de Armas' comments to LA Times show how the franchise is continuing to grow and change, especially regarding the treatment of female characters. Bond movies always have one or two Bond girls attached, who usually look perfect and are poised-- even when stepping out from the ocean or disarming a bomb. That wasn't the type of character that appealed to de Armas, with Paloma's flaws being the chief reason why she wanted the role.

Just what Paloma will bring to the table remains a mystery, but James' upcoming adventure will lead to them crossing paths. She's the fourth major female character set to appear in No Time to Die, and one of two newcomers. Naomie Harris' and Léa Seydoux are reprising their roles as Moneypenny and Dr. Madeleine Swann. What's more, Captain Marvel's is playing Nomi, who reportedly took the mantle of 007 following James' retirement.

It should be interesting to see how all of these women's stories are serviced, especially within a franchise with a somewhat problematic past. Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge was brought on to help with the movie's script, which is a major step forward. In fact, rumors indicate Eon is looking at Waller-Bridge to write the next installment in property.

No Time to Die will hit theaters on April 8th, 2020. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your next trip to the movies. And our 2020 release list to look ahead toward the New Year.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him...

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu...
