“As a starting point, it was it was a tribute to alcohol, how it can win wars, how it can make people be creative. Replied Craig, “I wish I could have written to all of the cast, everybody was just amazing.” Craig also pointed out that the idea posited in the film – “we’re all not quite drunk enough” – feels particularly apt in this time of COVID.Ĭraig asked about reuniting with Thomas Vinterberg, who Mikkelsen had previously worked with on “The Hunt,” and Mikklesen noted that the idea was originally pitched to him seven years ago, right after they made that film. “I could tell it was very genuine and I was really, really pleased to hear from you and hear that you that you enjoyed the film,” said Mikkelsen. It’s a performance that has earned him raves from all over the world, including from his former co-star – after seeing the film, Craig sent Mikkelsen an email praising his work. In “Another Round,” Mikkelsen plays Martin, a teacher caught in a rut who makes a pact with his friends to keep his Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) above 0.05 during the day. Since facing off as Bond and Le Chiffre, a banker who works with terrorists, Craig and Mikkelsen have gone on to impressive acting careers.
