Latest news on the new Bond movie to be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, which has no title yet, has been pushed back to 14 February 2020 with Daniel Craig, his last appearance as James Bond. Originally the new Bond movie was scheduled to appear towards the end of next year October/ November 2019, its not even in production, its quite an unusual release when most of the Bond movies are released towards the end of the year, mind you Daniel is currently working on a different film project.
Early speculation is a remake of O.H.M.S.S. I should imagine Blofeld will be a re-cast, if that happens.

WOW Bond coming again, its cool and best of luck.

First Bond film to be released outside of Quarter 4 since Licence To Kill in 1989!
Not sure on the remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service rumour. I know the Daniel Craig films have been the rebooted version of Bond but that doesn't mean it should follow the originals that closely. Besides, I always saw Casino Royale as the modern day answer to O.H.M.S.S, with Bond falling in love, having it all snatched away and making him toughen up even more.

Apparently Grace Jones had been brought back for a cameo appearance but she's quit over disputes over camera time (seems she didn't realise it was just a cameo?). Don't really get why she'd have been brought back anyway given she had such a memorable role the first time round.
A seemingly more successful return comes in the shape of the Aston Martin V8 Volante, which appeared in The Living Daylights.

Seems like the rumours that James Bond has retired and the 007 title has been replaced by a woman are true. I'm happy to see this explored so long as character comes first and foremost. Yes at a gadget-laden Aston Martin being properly used! *.*
Posted by: Pigs in Blankets 4th December 2019, 02:39 PM
That trailer is quite fitting. I know where its going by replacing a male actor with a woman, its kind of rebooting the franchise, with a female in the lead. I don't know how I feel about that though, I always thought at the back of my mind the lead should be played by a male actor, but I could be swayed to the change.
Posted by: Medellíam 4th December 2019, 03:09 PM
I can see them doing a soft reboot - it's what all the other franchises are doing and to great success, plus the Daniel Craig era seems to fit in its own little package and it's hard to see another actor picking up where Daniel left. I'd rather they didn't continue with a female in lead role though, it's just not necessary to alter the franchise like this and for the sake of what?
Posted by: Cody Snomberry 5th December 2019, 07:59 AM
OH SHIT I had a feeling the idea of Bond getting pulled out of retirement and working with the new 007 agent was gonna follow through, almost like a passing of the torch. It solidifies 007 as merely a codename despite pop culture having ingrained a persona into it. Of course the new 007 is no Bond, she doesn’t have to be Bond. She has her own reputation and legacy to build as the codename and I can see Bond realizing that in the end.
Posted by: Medellíam 5th December 2019, 10:39 AM
Agreed, it does reiterate that 007 is a codename and I think it'll be interesting to see this character test Bond's perceptions. I think it would be a huge mistake for the franchise to retire the James Bond brand though. Perhaps, if this film is well received, they could run a spin-off series to run alongside the James Bond series?
Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 5th December 2019, 01:24 PM
Whoever plays 007 this trailer looks class. Always a fan of a snow scene Bond film!
Posted by: Medellíam 12th December 2019, 09:51 PM
Reports are saying Disney are interested in buying the Bond franchise. I guess that reinforces my theory that we could start seeing more soft reboots in the future.
Also, please would someone be able to edit the title of the thread?

I've actually just done that without realising your post since we have a title for it now.
And the rumour of a female playing Bond in future Bond films is still up in the air. I think they only wrote the part for this movie just to put a twist to the plot.

Ooh that would be something I would like to see! Imagine if Bond decides to not go back to retirement after this but will act as a mentor to the new 007

Billie Eilish has been named as the artist behind the theme for the upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die.
The news, confirmed by 007 themselves on Twitter, makes Billie the youngest act to ever write and record a Bond theme. Sam Smith, who released Writing's On The Wall for the last Bond film Spectre, was 23 years old at the time.
"It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way," Billie said. "To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock”.
QUOTE
James Bond ✔ @007 The #NoTimeToDie title song will be performed by @billieeilish. Billie has written the song with her brother @finneas and is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song.
View image on Twitter 22K 4:02 PM - Jan 14, 2020
As mentioned in the tweet above, the new Bond theme was co-written by Billie's brother Finneas. The pair worked together exclusively on her chart-topping debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
Finneas added: "Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of Goldfinger and Live And Let Die. We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007."
While the Bond theme is an integral part of British music and film, you may be surprised at how they've performed on the charts. Just one has topped the Official UK Chart - Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall.
Before that, Adele's Skyfall (2012) and Duran Duran's A View To Kill (1985) were near-misses, both reaching Number 2. Look back at where every James Bond theme has charted in the UK.
No Time To Die is in theatres globally from April 2 2020.

Wow that’s quite a push back! But understandable, I heard on the news earlier today that there were rumbles of pushing back major releases
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th March 2020, 05:54 PM
I'm pretty sure Bond in particular is a franchise that makes quite a lot of money from Chinese cinemas.
Posted by: Jonjo 4th March 2020, 06:24 PM
I think there was a report saying they might actually bring the release forward a few weeks, but this could be the right move for them. That time of year is usually amazing for box office and they'll know more about the details of Coronavirus by that point, so will be able to adjust.
It's sad, but I understand.
The Box Office numbers are gonna br disastrous this year irregardless sof what releases there are. Argh </3
Posted by: T Boy 4th March 2020, 07:05 PM
It’s a bit irritating though. I’m paying monthly for a Cineworld card, what am I supposed to do if all releases end up getting pushed back for this reason?
Posted by: Liam.k. 4th March 2020, 07:07 PM
An overly competitive Q4 market could be a hindrance to some films (perhaps not for a brand as established as the Bond franchise but other films are surely going to be overlooked).
Posted by: FUTURE NOSTALGIA 4th March 2020, 07:14 PM
I saw rumours of this a few days ago but didn't think it'd acc happen So much of the territories where Spectre made big money are places that have cinemas shut down cos of coronavirus so I'm not too shocked.
I wonder if anything else will be moved? I low-key would've been worried about Mulan but I feel were a tiny bit too close to release for that to be moved back. Black Widow maybe? Fast 9? Tbh this summer is kinda lacking on big blockbusters so I don't think we're gonna have too much off an effect on releases unless coronavirus gets a lot worse, which yeah...
Posted by: Hadji 4th March 2020, 08:17 PM
Seeing as that’s been pushed back, they should instead release the new Trolls that week in place seeing as that got pushed back to 13th April from 20th March for no reason

Nah Trolls is perfect where it is, it's taking advantage of the Easter half term and releasing on the 20th March will be up against another big release taking screens (A Quiet Place 2) and then running into two direct competitions the next week (Peter Rabbit 2 and Mulan). Maybe a push up to Friday 10th wouldn't hurt it but any earlier is a mistake
EDIT: they've just moved Trolls 2 up a week in America to 10th April (Bond's original US release date) so I wouldn't be surprised if they push it forward a couple days here

It wouldn’t hurt them to release Trolls a week earlier. Another reason it would make sense to release it on the 3rd is that there’s no major releases then and that incase any adults wanna watch it and they could take advantage of watching it outside of the Easter holidays as some of them might wanna watch it when it’s quiet

Seems Tom Hardy is becoming the hot favourite for the Bond role, due to rave reviews of his upcoming movie Capone.
This will get my seal of approval he does have Mad Max 2 and Taboo Season 2 in the pipeline, it could be a long wait for the next Bond movie unless one of the other actors from James Norton, Tom Hiddleston, Richard Maddon and still in the running Idris Elba.
Posted by: Liam.k. 7th May 2020, 02:23 PM
I don't really have anyone in mind for the next Bond. All the names seem either too well known like Tom Hardy or Idris Elba or have only been suggested because they wore a tuxedo or nice suit in a drama like Tom Hiddleston or James Norton.

Posted by: Mart!n 19th September 2020, 04:19 PM
The casting decision has been made, Tom Hardy seems to be the successor to Daniel Craig, and adds that the public announcement to be revealed, is expected towards the end of 2020 or in early 2021.
I've just read an article on it and its the first ever Bond film to be released around Easter Weekend
Posted by: dan-G 3rd October 2020, 08:00 AM
oh that is annoying, unexpected seeing as they just released the Billie Eilish music video too. I guess it means they’ll have to do a new song for the opening as it’ll now be a year old when the film’s out.

Posted by: Tafty 6th January 2021, 04:01 PM
Weren't MGM looking to some streaming providers? Icr.
But yeah, I'd be surprised if this didn't get pushed back to the Summer at least. I can see 'Black Widow' being the first major release for cinemas, at the start of May. I think it'll do decently too. It'll hold stronger than 'Tenet' did for sure as it has a wider audience available.
EDIT: I will be v v surprised if Bond doesn't get a cinema release. It's pretty much the biggest franchise for Box Office figures. ESPECIALLY in the UK. So money will be made...
Posted by: Rooney 6th January 2021, 04:35 PM
Bond will get postponed, 100% unless cinemas are open. I could see a September 2021 release date.
Posted by: Rooney 12th January 2021, 07:02 PM
As expected, likely to move to November 2021.
The film was floated to streamers at $600m, but none of them took up the option.
Posted by: Liam.k. 12th January 2021, 08:02 PM
Not surprising really. A November release will mean it'll be six years since the last Bond film, 5 months short of the record length between 'License to Kill' and 'GoldenEye'.

Went to watch the last showing tonight to help keep me up overnight.
It's not as bad as some people are making out and there's some genuinely great moments and surprises, and a few good action sequences but it feels like it is exactly the right time to give the whole thing a bit of refresh, which given the ending seems pretty like what will happen with the next one. But it's certainly not on par with the other Daniel Craig era Bond films in my opinions, not that much could come close to Skyfall or Spectre for me. I think it's been severely damaged by having such a long wait for it to come out, if it had been a three year gap between this and the last film in the full knowledge there'd be another one a few years, it might have been passable - it certainly doesn't feel like a film that should have took six years to make.
It neglects a lot of the famous bond action in favour of relatively surface level and not all that convincing 'personal trauma' sub plot for Bond that whilst it pays off in the end is all a bit contrived. It's almost trying too hard to be serious and deep at times, it's a Bond film - just show me the chase scenes, ridiculous action sequences and Bond's latest flings. (Although gratuitous shots of women are rather pleasingly replaced frequently by gratuitous shots of Daniel Craig quite a bit in this one - but given there wasn't a single woman in the audience at my screening that might have been to no avail aside from gay men)

The problem is, the Bond franchise has moved on. Not sure having ridiculous action sequences etc. would really cut it with the way cinema works these days. You've got Fast & Furious for that and there's only so many levels of ridiculous you can go. This is way better than Spectre, but not as good as Casino Royal or Skyfall. Personally while I kind of wish I'd refreshed my mind with Spectre before hand, I think this movie benefiited from the long gap - the numbers are tracking pretty good from a box office perspective.
Be interesting to see where they go with the refresh. The only bit I was not entirely keen on was the whole sub plot with the CIA agent double cross, ultimately felt a bit pointless and a way to kill of Jeffery Wright, which didn't pack that much of an emotional punch for me.
Posted by: Popchartfreak 9th October 2021, 10:57 PM
7/10
Skyfall is the best for me, this is very clearly a goodbye to Bond as we have known Bond. Lots of touches like We Have All The Time In The World instrumentally playing in the background early on, the classic Bond gun opener scene used towards the end, and other tributes. The plot was being flagged early on. Its too long, though, and the complex plot goings on stop it being a cohesive storyline, tho fragmented plot twists would have been a thing if the opening scene hadnt given everything away already. Craig is great as always, the best Bond of all. Certainly a lot of crotch shots too. Throwback yo his debut scene coming out the sea. Rami is doing a deliberately overstated understated performance which is cartoon villain time, but he is watchable. The female leads are not weak vulnerable or token totty. So times have changed already....

Finally went to see this today (in English thank god) and I agree with Roo that I could have done with rewatching Spectre before hand before seeing this one.
I actually really liked the movie. I wasn’t so troubled by the length, blockbusters have bloated or maybe it’s because the last movie I watched was Interstellar- now that’s a long f***ing movie that does nothing with its length. I really thought you could feel Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the movie. A few lines here or there, but if light comic relief at times that really really fitted the movie and the current franchise direction. I thought it really suited moneypenny in particular. Would love to see her brought in again next time to do similar light touches to the script as I think it’s payed off quite well.
my biggest irritation is they insist on killing bond at the end of so f***ing many of the bond films. I have lost count of how many times Daniel Craig as Bond has supposedly died. We know there’s another bond film we know there’s gonna be a new Bond we know this so why f***ing blow him up. Like how are we supposed to believe he survived a cruise missile strike ffs. It stretches reality a bit.
But what I am really curious about is how new bond deals with the fact that bond now has a literal child. Like this is canon now. Where do we go from there. And like how are they getting out of this sticky situation they’ve written themselves into
I’d better no have to wait 6 years for the next one

The Bond films featuring Daniel Craig share no continuity with the previous actors' films and the next film will be a complete reboot. Think of how the Synderverse shares no relation to Nolan's series.
It's highly unlikely anything in No Time To Die will impact on the next film.
since we have a title for it now.
he does have Mad Max 2 and Taboo Season 2 in the pipeline, it could be a long wait for the next Bond movie unless one of the other actors from James Norton, Tom Hiddleston, Richard Maddon and still in the running Idris Elba.
