Tamahori talks of `massive, gigantic, monstrous action piece, costing a fortune`

04-Sep-2002 • Die Another Day

Lee Tamahori, director of "Die Another Day" teased Bond fans some more in an interview published in the August 2002 edition of Cinescape:

Die Another Day uses an unprecedented amount of CG for a Bond film. Although the film promises masses of "real" action courtesy of revered stunt veteran Vic Armstrong, the director acknowledges the CG may worry fans.

"It`s creating lots of nervousness because the Bond movies are historically very orientated toward real stunts," Tamahori says. "They do things for real, throe people off cliffs and blow things up. There`s usually not much Matrix style CG. We`re embarking on one sequence which uses a lot of CG only because it could not be done as a real stunt, and I knew that when I put it in. It`s a massive, gigantic, monstrous action piece, costing a fortune, that`s never been seen before."
