Wanted to make Safin unsettling: Rami Malek on James Bond villain

Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Oscar winner Rami Malek says as the antagonist of the upcoming James Bond movie "No Time to Die", he wanted his character of Safin to be "unsettling".

Malek plays the villain opposite Daniel Craig's suave British spy in the much-anticipated film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. A video teasing the mysterious villain was released by the makers on Monday.

"What I really wanted from Safin was to make him unsettling. Thinking of himself as being heroic... Safin is a formidable adversary. James Bond has to adapt to him," Malek told Entertainment Weekly.

Talking about the character Fukunaga said, "What he wants and what he's willing to do makes him a very frightening character, both personally to Bond, but also on a global level." "Fleabag" creator-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is on board as a co-writer on the film and Malek said she had a significant role in shaping up Safin.

"She had quite an impact on what I was doing. I'd have long phone conversations with her, giving her context as to what we were essentially looking for in the scenes, and she would turn things over incredibly quickly.

"We know her as a very witty and funny writer, but she's got a knack for drama and tension as well," he said. "No Time to Die", scheduled to hit the theatres in November, also features actors Lashana Lynch, Lea Seydoux, Jeffrey Wright, Rory Kinnear, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Ana de Armas, Billy Magnussen, Dali Benssalah, and David Dencik.

First Covid-19 vaccine administered in the US, tweets President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump on Monday announced the administration of the first Covid-19 vaccine on Twitter as shipments of frozen vials reached the United States to battle the coronavirus disease. Marking the onset of what will be the largest vaccination campaign in the US history, shots made by Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech are the first authorised for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Several other countries also have given their nod of acceptance for the vaccine, including the UK, which started vaccinating last week. Packed in dry ice to stay at ultra-frozen temperatures, the first of nearly 3 million doses being shipped in staggered batches this week made their way by truck and by plane around the country Sunday from Pfizer’s Kalamazoo, Michigan, factory.
