Daniel Craig’s James Bond Lands Tombstone in Faroe Islands!
After the final Daniel Craig James Bond move No Time To Die, the Faroe Islands is doing something a bit different…
CelebnMovies247.com reports that Daniel Craig’s take on James Bond is now forever set in stone.
After the final installment of Craig’s turn as Bond, the Faroe Islands commissioned a custom grave to honor the filming location of “No Time to Die.” The island of Kalsoy served as the villain’s lair for Bond’s nemesis Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek), who ultimately kills the famed MI6 agent.
The grave is positioned near the Kallur lighthouse on the island and reads, “In Memory of James Bond, 1962–2021,” as reported by the official Guide to the Faroe Islands page.
The statement reads:
Local villagers have taken it upon themselves to erect a tombstone in memory of the renowned spy. Made from Faroese basalt, the gravestone has been cut by an acclaimed stonemason in the village of Skopun. It has then been transported to the exact location on Kalsoy, where Bond meets his fate in ‘No Time to Die.’
The Prime Minister unveiled the statue March 23. The design of the grave matches Bond’s parents’ tombs in “Skyfall,” and a special quote previously read by M (Ralph Fiennes) in “No Time to Die” is included on the grave: “The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”
Actor Craig took over the role of Bond in 2006 with the release of “Casino Royale.” He subsequently portrayed the famed spy in “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall,” and “Spectre” before parting ways with the franchise in 2021’s “No Time to Die.”
