John `Q` Cleese talks about the Bond 21 schedule, and his `Die Another Day` scenes

John Cleese, who took over the role of Quartermaster in "Die Another Day", has spoken to About.com regarding the Bond 21 schedule:

When do you do the next Bond?
"Good question. Beginning of 2005, and they usually like to shoot the scenes with Q towards the end. Because as I�m giving Bond the technology, if they shoot the scenes and then find the technology doesn�t work quite as they thought, you�d have to go back and reshoot the scene again. So they tend to shoot him at the end."

He also mentioned the change of routine for "Die Another Day":

"This last movie, they shot Q at the start because he had to go off and smash up the car, so I needed to give it to him before he�d smashed it up."

Thanks to Kerim and Brinke for the alert.
