Bond 25 title finally revealed

Eon Productions and MGM this afternoon revealed the title of the next James Bond film.

From now on Bond 25 can be known as No Time to Die, which by coincidence I jokingly mentioned as a possible title in one of the recent James Bond & Friends podcasts.

Press release

James Bond Producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli today released the official title of the 25th James Bond adventure, No Time To Die. The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM), and Universal Pictures International is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective) and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his fifth film as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007. Written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade (Spectre, Skyfall), Cary Joji Fukunaga, Scott Z. Burns (Contagion, The Bourne Ultimatum) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Killing Eve, Fleabag), No Time To Die is currently in production. The film will be released globally from April 3rd 2020 in the U.K. through Universal Pictures International and in the U.S on April 8th, from MGM via their United Artists Releasing banner.

No Time To Die also 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.

Other members of the creative team are; Composer Dan Romer, Director of Photography Linus Sandgren, Editors Tom Cross and Elliot Graham, Production Designer Mark Tildesley, Costume Designer Suttirat Larlarb, Hair and Make-up Designer Daniel Phillips, Supervising Stunt Coordinator Olivier Schneider, Stunt Coordinator Lee Morrison and Visual Effects Supervisor Charlie Noble. Returning members to the team are; 2nd Unit Director Alexander Witt, Special Effects and Action Vehicles Supervisor Chris Corbould and Casting Director Debbie McWilliams.

Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre have grossed more than $3.1 billion in worldwide box office collectively. Skyfall ($1.1 billion) and Spectre ($880 million) are the two highest-grossing films in the franchise.

    The title looks like the name of an indie film about someone with cancer. Not to mention the last time they had DIE in the title I thought I was watching a Derek Flint movie. Talk about ridiculous, over the top crap. Surfing a tidal wave on the wing of an aircraft? And this is not rocket science. Look: Goldfinger, Thunderball, Moonraker, Skyfall, Spectre. Now these titles actually LOOK like 007 titles. They’re special in a way. And if the producers want several words in the title, how about MY creation: A Failure of Diplomacy. But then; who listens to me ? Nobody. I have a wife and three kids so I’m used to it. Stay frosty
