The musical theme that David has play into this idea of there will be a consequence to the fact they took that activity [ and killed James ] . That ’s not going to go aside . You just do n’t disappear somebody who works in that business concern and never have to confront your character in it . SoDavid ’s melodic theme of how this circle back to them is really interesting .
For his part , Fassbender imagined George and Kathryn would go forward to live with an aura of paranoia hang over their human relationship , suggesting it ’s a continuous thing for them . He explained :
It ’s a continual thing . To ever think , ' Okay , life is go to be easier now , ' no , this is the globe that they subsist in . They ’re all looking over their berm within their own arrangement .

Our Take On Black Bag 2
Please, Hollywood, Make It Happen
Hearing that there is already a story in mind forBlack Bag 2has me sincerely yours excited , andI hope it happens . Hollywood relies too much on franchise these days , it ’s true , butBlack Bagnot being found on any existing property gain it more exciting as an ongoing series . It also sounds like the idea of a sequel came organically to Koepp just from crafting the original story , rather than thrust the whim for the sake of building a fabricated world .
I was engrossed in and thrilled by George and Kathryn ’s account , as well as Fassbender and Blanchett ’s performance , andthe approximation of examine them play these characters again is too goodto pass up . I can only hopeBlack Bagfinds its audiencein the weeks and month forrader and pave the way for another installment . This is the eccentric of movie Hollywood could use more of .
