Bond 25: No Time To Die




Bond 25, now titled No Time To Die, is hitting theatres in April 2020. A cross between (likely) film footage and some behind-the-scenes shots, the trailer certainly gives us a feel for this latest film's Jamaican locations.

And (wow!) an actual Panavision film camera is visible in one of the set shots!

But more importantly, the Jamaican location hearkens back to Bond One (O.B. if you prefer), back in 1962, Dr. No:





With Daniel Craig returning as Bond for (reportedly) the final time, and a mix of seasoned Bond writers (Neal Purvis and Robert Wade from the Pierce Brosnan era), and fresh talent like Scott Z. Burns (Netflix's The Laundromat), the proceedings should get a fresh coat of paint to be sure, especially with new writer-director Cary Fukunaga (True Detective Season 1), at the helm and with a hand in the script as well. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, creator of the  award-winning Amazon Prime phenomenon Fleabag, is on hand as well at Craig's behest, to ensure that the new entry in the Bond series has a strong female perspective in the post MeToo era, as it should.

Should be interesting for sure!
