No Time to Die (2021)
Nomi, Madeleine, and Mathilde escape by boat, while Bond stays behind to open the island's missile silos, which would aid a missile strike from a British warship to destroy the nanobots. Bond and Safin fight, during which Safin shoots Bond several times and infects him with nanobots programmed with the genetic code of Madeleine and Mathilde. Bond kills Safin and opens the silos. Speaking by radio with Madeleine, Bond tells her he loves her and encourages her to move on without him, and she confirms that Mathilde is his daughter. Bond smiles in the realisation Mathilde is his daughter. He dies as the missiles hit the island, destroying the nanobot factory and the virus.
On 14th September 2018, reports emerged that veteran writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were rehired to produce a new script for No Time To Die[14]. On 20th September 2018, it was officially announced that Cary Joji Fukunaga was confirmed to direct No Time To Die, taking over from Boyle. It was also announced that the film's release date would be pushed back to 14th February 2020, with filming commencing on 19 March 2019.[1][15] On February 15, 2019, it was announced that the release date was again pushed back to 8 April 2020 in order to give Fukunaga more time.[16]
On 4 March 2020, the release date for No Time to Die was pushed back again to 12 November 2020 in the United Kingdom and 25 November 2020 in the United States, due to the coronavirus pandemic. On 13 June 2020, the release date in the United States was moved up by 5 weeks to 20 November. However, on October 2, 2020, the film was again delayed, this time to April 2, 2021 in the United States and an uncertain date in 2021 in the United Kingdom.[16]
In April 2017, actor Daniel Craig mentioned he was open to returning for a final Bond film.[21] Speaking on American talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on August 15 2017 Craig ended speculation and confirmed he would play Bond for a fifth and final time. Craig's renewed enthusiasm for the role marks a change of mind after comments he made in 2015, which he explained as the product of exhaustion.[10][22]
The film has been nominated for Academy Awards in the categories of Sound, Visual Effects and for the film's title theme song.[42] The film's "No Time to Die" song previously won a Grammy award in 2021, the first ever win for a song from a film yet to be released at the time of the awards.[43]
Bill Tanner is back as MI6's Chief of Staff, played by Rory Kinnear. He's the guy that keeps the whole British espionage machine going, reporting directly to M, briefing agents, running field ops, and generally keeping track of Bond and his activities. Tanner appears in several Bond films before Craig's time, starting with The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974, but it wasn't until Quantum of Solace that we'd see Kinnear in the role. He got the new MI6 set up after the terrorist attack on headquarters in Skyfall, and shielded M from Silva's attacks in the hearing room. In Spectre, he's still running the new HQ, and helps Bond bring down Blofeld with M, Moneypenny, and Q.
Sure, 007 adventures are usually extremely popular with audiences, with Daniel Craig's last two outings, Skyfall and Spectre, making $1 billion and $880 million respectively, but these are not normal times. For context, Fast and Furious 9, which has been declared the biggest movie of the summer, has so far made $642 million since its release in June, whereas the previous installment broke a billion. No movie has come close to producing a figure as high as $900 million. Can James Bond do it? 041b061a72
