To an extent, No Time to Die is in keeping with its immediate predecessors, 2012’s Skyfall and 2015’s Spectre. The stakes are simultaneously global and personal, and there are many ritualistic re-tracings of ideas and images from Bond adventures past. But there are differences, too. For one thing, it’s unfashionably colourful. Thank La La Land cinematographer Linus Sandgren for the gorgeous dawns and dusks, plus the rich, sun-blush tones of an early chase scene through the mazy alleys of Matera, the Italian hill town where Bond goes with Dr Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) to lay his grudge against Eva Green's Vesper Lynd to rest. The heroes drink, frequently and unapologetically: not just Bond, but also the youngsters, including the go-getting inheritor of his 007 codename, Lashana Lynch’s Nomi, with whom he strikes up a flirtatious rivalry which ripens into mutual respect. Craig and Lynch’s playful chemistry is a model example of 21st century Bond cakeism: some spicy workplace sexual tension without the queasy #MeToo resonance. Bond Lifestyle spoke to Australian designer Michael Lo Sordo about the silk gown worn by Ana de Armas in No Time To Die.

It was very unexpected for me, and obviously I was proud and honored. I was really nervous and kind of wishing I wasn’t going to win, so I wouldn’t have to go up on stage. At first, I thought, ‘What am I going to do there by myself with all these people?’” she says. “Of course, I knew Rian [Johnson, the film’s writer and director] and the actors at my table. Then I started looking around and I saw Robert De Niro, who I did a movie with, and Todd Phillips, who I also did a movie with. I’ve just never been in this kind of environment with them. It made me relax a little to know I wasn’t alone in a scary room.”That nutshell “just really didn’t speak to me,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “Latinas rarely exist at the center of a film, especially not in the context that we have in this movie. So, because of the character description, my imagination immediately went to a portrayal that was not necessarily very positive or exciting in relation to Latin culture.” When she finished the script, though, she realized how much her character transcended those stereotypes, and signed on. Stardom is such a weird roll of the dice, and also not necessarily something you’d wish on someone you consider a friend,” Johnson says. “But I’m confident Ana’s something special. She’s an incredible actor who is making daring choices both on screen and in her career. I can’t wait to watch whatever she does next.” It was a defining moment for me, as I realized the magnitude of the project and the fact that it was for a movie franchise that I have always admired and aspired to be a part of. It was truly a dream come true. Was the dress part of the collection or specially designed for the film?

And if so, is the dress exactly the same as in the film?

De Armas is proud of her Cuban heritage, but decided she needed to leave her home country to pursue acting. “I always knew what to expect. I knew the limitations of the country, in terms of production,” she says, “I had to go.” When she describes her childhood in Cuba, the actor is careful not to suggest that she was deprived in any way. Recycling clothes was an economic necessity at the time (she wore her brother’s hand-me-downs for many years – “his old school uniform pants cut into play shorts”), but she says it’s helped her maintain a healthy perspective when it comes to fashion and consumerism. While she enjoys dressing up for events, she doesn’t spend much time thinking about it. Despite the fact No Time To Die is Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond, Ana de Armas has been receiving her fair share of media attention – more specifically, the silk gown de Armas wore as rookie CIA agent Paloma. At the Australian premiere last Tuesday, designer Michael Lo Sordo finally witnessed his Bond dress on the big screen, which – just about everyone will tell you – stole the bloody show in one of the film’s central fight sequences.

In a world without SARS-CoV-2, a year and a half would have passed since Daniel Craig had retired as James Bond. Instead, cinema’s leading spy has spent the last 18 months on furlough, while successive waves of Covid sloshed around the globe. But as the end credits have always promised, James Bond will return. And return he finally has, with Cary Joji Fukunaga’s extravagantly satisfying, bulgingly proportioned last chapter to the Craig era, which throws almost everything there is left to throw at 007 - including, in a twist of teeth-clenching pertinence, a man-made virus which threatens to overrun the globe. That savvy choice of roles, and the awards attention it brought, has made her the kind of star directorswill do anything to have in their films. Recently, a promotional video for “No Time To Die” included de Armas’ revelation that director Cary Joji Fukunaga essentially created the role of Paloma to get de Armas in the film: “This character, I think it didn’t exist in the film. It was just [through] talking to Cary that he really wanted me in the movie. And they just made it happen. So I was in the conversation a long time before it became real,” she says in a video, as reported by CinemaBlend. x 26″ Glossy, high quality, used as lobby cards in Italy.

De Armas attended her native Cuba’s National Art Schools before using dual Spanish citizenship via her grandparents to move to Madrid at 18 to pursue acting. After making a splash in the Spanish series “El Internado” (“Boarding School”), she leapt to Hollywood and paid her dues with a series of obligatory girlfriend parts (see “Blade Runner 2049” among others). Initially, because she didn’t speak English, she learned her lines phonetically. QUATTRO) 55 x 79″ Very large Italian poster printed in two pieces, often contains very beautiful artwork. FRENCH Posters There were several variations of the dress previously created, but the version for the Bond film was customized and tailored specifically to the lead actress, Anna. It was a unique creation, 100% custom, and now this memorable dress has become a part of motion picture history. By any measure, de Armas fits the profile of “next big thing”. However, her research on Marilyn Monroe for the eagerly awaited Blonde biopic has made her deeply aware of the emotional toll that kind of attention can bring. “I read everything I could about Marilyn,” she says. “It wasn’t just about transforming physically to look the part, it was about understanding her emotional life, how intelligent she was, and how fragile.”Michael Lo Sordo (left) attends the Sydney premiere of No Time To Die with model Charlee Fraser in 2021 DUE): 39 x 55″ This is the standard poster size used in Italy.

Buoyed by an inherent understanding of style, vast experience with textiles and a creative genealogy, Michael has an uncompromised vision and resolve for quality and consistency. A master of romanticism and whimsy, Michael offers a hands-on approach to every facet of the creative process. As the details of the project were kept highly confidential in true James Bond style, I initially had limited information about its purpose and usage. However, my perspective changed when the film posters were released, and I saw a stunning actress wearing one of my designs.

At the end of 2020, when her five new projects have all premiered on screens big and small, de Armas’s fate as a household name may well be sealed. And those who have worked with her seem to think that is exactly what is meant to be.No Time To Die” will be Daniel Craig‘s fifth and final appearance as James Bond. Scheduled to be released in 2020, the movie will also be Craig’s fourteenth year in tenure as James Bond since his first in Casino Royale (2006). This will, by tenure, make Craig the longest running actor playing James Bond in the official series since the late Roger Moore‘s era between the early 1970s to the mid 1980s, which ran for twelve years, between Live and Let Die (1973) and A View to a Kill (1985). By film count Craig will come third, after Sean Connery with six and Roger Moore with seven (though Connery also has seven if unofficial film Never Say Never Again (1983) is counted). A poster with bright colour and crisp overall appearance. It may have very general signs of use including slight fold separation and fold wear. It may have pin holes or very minor tears. This is the highest grade allowed for a poster that has been restored either on linen or on paper. To date, however, de Armas has been conspicuously absent. Yes, she's there at the photo calls, and on the posters, as well as the accompanying marketing bumpf for jewellery partner Chopard. But in the actual trailers? Not so much. Or, rather, not so much until today. By the time de Armas was a teenager, she was studying at the National Theater School in Havana and had already worked on three local films, but she had never been away from home. The average income in Havana is the equivalent of about 30 US dollars per month, and travel visas can be hard to come by, which makes leaving the country something of a challenge.
