The film has been subject to countless release delays due to the pandemic. It was set to release back in April 2020, but now No Time To Die is set to release on September, 30th 2021 (UK), and October 8th 2021 (US).
No Time To Die stars Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, Rory Kinnear, David Dencik, Dali Benssalah with Jeffrey Wright and Ralph Fiennes.
In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
No Time To Die had quite a few setbacks during production. Original Director, Danny Boyle (Yesterday), quit the film due to “creative differences” in 2018. Cary Joji Fukunaga eventually took his place in the directing chair.
Craig injured his ankle causing filming to be delayed for a few months. Also, an explosion reportedly left a crew member injured at Pinewood Studios.
Production wrapped back in October 2019, with the film reportedly costing around £200 Million – the most expensive Bond film to date.
A massive amount has been spent on the film’s marketing. According to Variety, MGM spent roughly $5.69 million for the 30-second Ad Spot for No Time to Die, during the 2020 Super Bowl – the most expensive Super Bowl advert for that year.
No Time To Die releases on the 30th September in the UK and the 8th October in the US.
