John Cleese reveals some Q-Branch gadget details

16-Aug-2002 • Die Another Day

The Independant have published an interview with John Cleese - who takes over the role of Q in "Die Another Day":

I shot my scenes with Pierce [Brosnan] back in January, during the first week of filming. That is unusual for Q; normally they shoot him handing over the gadgets to Bond right at the end of the production, so that if any of the gadgets have not worked exactly as planned, Q`s dialogue can be adapted to take account of this.

However, this time they needed to take the new Bond car straight off to Finland to blow it up, so my scenes had to be at the start.

The best new gadget concerns the car. It`s based on military technology now being developed, which will one day allow something as big as a tank to be rendered invisible. More will be revealed on 18 November.

Thanks to `MBE` for the alert
