Two Icons Hit Cinemas This Weekend

nprfreshair:

Two icons, Abraham Lincoln and James Bond, make triumphant appearances this week in movies with more in common than you’d expect. True, Lincoln is a titan of history, liberator of slaves and as such an adversary of Western colonialism, while 007 is an outlandish stereotype embodying white male Western authoritarian power. But the makers of these films do a sterling job of testing their respective subjects in front of our eyes — before pronouncing them fit to carry on in our collective imagination.

— David Edelstein reviews the films, Lincoln and Skyfall

“So, this one is a completely new story. He’s not just dark—he’s got all sorts of other things as well. That’s kind of the idea. And we weren’t making decisions about the story over the way things have been or the way things should be. It’s like we just wrote the best script we could—well, [screenwriter] John Logan certainly did—and we put it together the best way we could. So, we didn’t get overly literary about it, I promise you. We took the piss out of it and just kept it as light as possible.” Daniel Craig talks Bond in Vanity Fair Skyfall is here.  “So, this one is a completely new story.

James Bond (Daniel Craig) is back in “Skyfall”.  Ready to fight for Queen and Country. All right. By the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn’t come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else’s charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you’re first thought about me ran to “orphan,” that’s what I’d say you are. Oh, you are? I like this poker thing. And that makes perfect sense! Since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men, who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect Queen and country. You know, former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches.  - Vesper Lynd, Casino Royale

New Stills from “Skyfall” with Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, and Naomie Harris.   The film also stars Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench as M, Helen McCrory, Albert Finney, and Ben Whishaw as Q.   Directed by Sam Mendes, I have more confidence in this latest Bond because my hero John Logan is one of the screenwriters. Logan, multiple Oscar nominee, adapted “Coriolanus” and “Hugo” last year.  He also wrote screenplays for “The Aviator” and “Gladiator.”  New Stills from “Skyfall” with Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, and Naomie Harris.   The film also stars Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench as M, Helen McCrory, Albert Finney, and Ben Whishaw as Q.   Directed by Sam Mendes, I have more confidence in this latest Bond because my hero John Logan is one of the screenwriters.
