Actors on Actors / Directors on Directors / Actors Roundtable

James Cameron and Denis Villeneuve discuss the upcoming ‘Avatar’ films, the influence of ‘Dune’, creating worlds within films, the future of streaming and movie theaters, and Timothée Chalamet.

Daniel Craig (“No Time to Die”) and Javier Bardem (“Being the Ricardos”) sat down for a virtual chat for Variety’s Actors on Actors, presented by Amazon Studios. Since starring together as hero and villain of 2012’s “Skyfall,” Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem have continued to test themselves on screen. Last year, Craig finally bid farewell to James Bond with “No Time to Die,” a moody sendoff for his iteration of the British superspy. Meanwhile, Bardem flexed comic and musical chops as the bandleader and early television star Desi Arnaz in “Being the Ricardos.”

Bardem met Mikkelsen had ik liever gezien. Ik zat laatst te bedenken dat zij zo'n beetje gelijkwaardig zijn qua carriere: zowel in eigen land arthouse maken als in Hollywood de grote filmster zijn.
