Daniel Craig hints that politics play a role in ‘No Time to Die’: ‘We struggled to keep Trump out of this film’
“We struggled to keep Trump out of this film,” Craig admitted to writer Sam Knight. “But of course it is there. It’s always there, whether it’s Trump, or whether it’s Brexit, or whether it’s Russian influence on elections or whatever.”

These days it seems someone has to interject something political. The problem is that it went from general ideology to specifics.

Definitely skipping this film and rewatching Casino Royale instead. That film was awesome. And it had Eva Green.

Is it that difficult to just make a good movie?
They cant help but try to inject their politics into everything

I guess it is just too much to ask to be able to enjoy sports and tv/movies without politics being injected into them

This. I remember one movie having a Margaret Thatcher actress at the end, probably the end of the Moore/Dalton era?
But the rest refrained from contemporary politics. Can't have a fun film like Goldfinger, Goldeneye, or Live and Let Die. Gotta inject crap into it now.

Why does it have to be Trump? Just make up a fake president. Like Danny Glover in 2012.

Goldeneye did a great job of taking advantage of that post Soviet setting, without making it political.

Amazing how it's easy for so many other films to avoid current politics.

I'm sure there's going to be a scene where the black 007 woman beats James Bond's arse.

These days?
The Bond films have had a political undertone for over half a century.

No, you struggled to find a way to shoehorn him in and couldn't, realistically.

You MAGA zombies go around yelling about this, but you'd be the first ones celebrating from the rooftops if the average movie had a bunch of GOP propaganda in it. Hell, you'd be over the moon for any movie that just had characters with conservative ideals.
Sounds like ya'll are TriGGeRed

No shite. Do you have a point or are you just a low-functioning retard trying to engage in a really bad whataboutism?

Here is the actual GQ Interview, which reads a lot better than the chopped up click-bait version on Yahoo.

During our conversations, Craig didn’t want to talk much about real-world affairs. Not because he isn’t engaged (Craig opposed Brexit and, as a U.S. citizen, has given money to support Bernie Sanders), but because once you start, it’s hard to talk about anything else. “We struggled to keep Trump out of this film,” Craig told me of No Time To Die. “But of course it is there. It’s always there, whether it’s Trump, or whether it’s Brexit, or whether it’s Russian influence on elections or whatever.” Like many Britons who have left home—Craig and Weisz are based in New York—he is baffled by the country’s seemingly inward turn since 2016. “There are British people working in the top industries in the world and at the top of those industries. We do that, and we are good at that. And somehow we’re kind of breaking all that apart,” he told me. “Whether that’s breaking from Europe.… There is a sort of nihilism, isn’t there?”
It is a stretch, but Craig sometimes sees Bond as an avatar for a kind of selfless public service that doesn’t seem to hold in our populist, polarized moment. “There’s something I feel that Bond represents, someone who’s there, trying to do the job and doesn’t want any fricking publicity,” he said. “And this is a joke, because he drives a fricking Aston Martin and does all these ridiculous things. But these people exist.… It’s the ambulance service. I know it’s terribly kind of romantic. But they are people who are just getting on with it and saving people’s lives.” He despairs of the grandstanding of Trump and Boris Johnson and the generalized hysteria of social media—the absence of a certain adult indifference. “But that’s not the way the world works now,” Craig said. “It’s about humiliating others to save one’s own skin. And it’s cowardly, it’s just fricking cowardly.”
