No Time to Die BTS Video Shows Aston Martin Sequence Filming

[Animous]

No Time to Die director Cary Joji Fukunaga shares a collection of behind-the-scenes videos and pictures from the set of the James Bond film in Italy, including a video showing the Aston Martin sequence being filmed. After a long wait caused by various pandemic-related delays, Daniel Craig's fifth and final film as James Bond is now playing in theaters in the US. Craig began his tenure as the iconic British spy in 2006 with Casino Royale and then followed that up with Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre, the last of which came in 2015.

The latest Bond film arrives in US theaters with already a ton of momentum behind it, considering it grossed over $100 million in international markets. With Fukunaga at the helm (his first film in the franchise), Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of many writers who had a hand in crafting the screenplay. No Time to Die stars plenty of familiar faces from past films, including Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, and Rory Kinnear, while Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, and Lashana Lynch join the cast as new characters.

Now that No Time to Die is playing in the US, director Cary Joji Fukunaga took to Instagram to share a bunch of behind-the-scenes content from the set of the film in Italy. Fukunaga started off with a spoiler warning, advising everyone to proceed through his post with caution before providing some commentary on each picture/video. The second slide in his post is a BTS video shot on Fukunaga's iPhone showing the vintage Aston Martin DB5 doing donuts during the stand-off in the town square. Watch the video below:

At the end of Spectre, Bond reclaims the repaired Aston Martin DB5 and drives off with Swann (Seydoux) riding shotgun, and the iconic vehicle makes an early appearance in the new movie. As almost every Bond film does, No Time to Die dives straight into the action with an intense sequence early on in the towns of Matera and Gravina di Puglia. Fukunaga's post provides a window into just how difficult it can be to shoot these sequences on-location entirely with IMAX cameras, as the crew sometimes has to lug the massive equipment though tight corridors and other crammed spaces.

Craig's Bond films have seen some incredible cold-open action set pieces, including Skyfall's train sequence in which he is almost killed and Spectre's spectacular helicopter scene that takes place over a Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico City. Fukunaga wasn't the first choice to helm No Time to Die (that was Danny Boyle, who dropped out early on due to creative differences). Now that the film is playing everywhere, audiences can go and see if his opening action sequence is up to snuff.
