Bond #25: NO TIME TO DIE

Birds of Prey looks dope, too

hoping some of the smart decisions around this (craig bringing in pwb, billie eilish being tapped for the theme) really reflect the quality of the movie

Actually, now that I think about it, that would be a cool concept for a film, the dying dream of a super-spy

Change "super-spy" to "unstoppable criminal force of nature" and you've got Point Blank, the film that introduced the cockpunch to Hollywood.

After seeing the Daniel Craig/Ana de Armas duo in Knives Out, I'm really hoping them give them some good dialogue!

the funniest theory about the new movie, which... it's Bond, so it could be true

Rami Malek is playing a rebooted Dr. No

the title is horrible wordplay: "No, time to die!"

i’m okay with it as long as craig gets threatened with having his dick and balls lasered off

I'm okay with that as long as it actually happens

we've never been fully informed as to the state of his balls post-Casino Royale and that rope trick

it's the "origin story" for Bond, and there's a reason why there's never been a paternity suit subplot in any of the flix

No Time To Die refers to his dick and balls, which are canonically already dead, you see

No time to piss

#NoTimeToDie is currently listed at 163 minutes, which would make it the longest #JamesBond movie ever.https://t.co/aY1eGxr7Wa pic.twitter.com/ZD06lE9kQf

uuuuuugh

jesus god

In either case, Craig can lay claim to starring in both the longest and the shortest Bond films ever, with Quantum holding the latter title at 106 minutes.

I'm ready to strap in and watch this thing

damn, ohmss is twenty minutes shorter than this??? lol

The new one grinds to a halt halfway through thanks to a twenty minute discussion between M, Q and Bond about how Brexit has affected Q Branch's talent pool.

There's a scene where Bond is killing time in a safe house where they insert an entire episode of Rick and Morty.

A significant Act II chase sequence takes place in the line for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Universal Studios Orlando.

Extended sequence of Bond taking his Aston Martin to a garage because the clutch keeps slipping.

No time to release this film QUITE yet.

MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020. pic.twitter.com/a9h1RP5OKd

coronavirus situation worries re: Chinese cinemas, right?

Pretty much, there have been a lot of rumbling already, and if something similar happens here, well.

on the bright side, now I know I'll have a way to take my mind off of Trump winning for at least a few hours.

I can't think of another 'big' film being postponed so close to its release date. That may turn out to be the most memorable thing abt this movie.

There was that Arnold movie he had pushed back because of 9/11.

& what other 'big' films came out in the first two months of a pandemic?

There's Something About Malaria

Soderbergh is in town tonight to promote Frosé and hosting a "secret" screening of one of his movies first: really missing a trick if it's not Contagion.

I’m kind of suspicious that it’s not just a market issue. They brought Hans Zimmer in to do the score in January which seems like a little bit of a rush. No clue if this means they’re done editing and it’s going to sit there until fall or if this gives some breathing room on the work

I’m imaging some scenario where they saw the first cut with the complete score and it’s Zimmer doing the Moby remix of the Bond theme from the 90s with some orchestral flourishes

“Zimmer” meaning a flunkie from the Zimmer-haus obv

yeah, the speculation was Wallfisch, etc. would be on duty

Hang on.. does 'Zimmer' no longer mean he actually does the score? I'm obvs being real naive here.

like all great artists, he has a studio and signs his name on work

(he does credit collaborators)

youtube recommended billie eilish at some award show doing her new bond theme and it looked like zimmer was playing a synth with them for.. reasons?

Zimmer not a very good choice for Bond really - I can't think of any of his scores which have much in way of swagger.

I’ve decided doing donuts in the aston while firing the headlamp machine guns is the most ridiculous part of the trailer.

Right, we should link that new one:

when I see this title, all I can think of is that spiritual we sang in All-State choir, "Ain't Got Time to Die"

is this ever coming out now? did they push it to next year?

I also wonder how many times Ana de Armas dropped the prop Uzi in that one pitch-and-catch scene.

xpost -- Still aiming for November.

jokes on you, it was a a real Uzi, and when it hit the ground, it fired and Brandon Lee got hit

it sure looks beautiful

oh man they have a shot of him shooting down a tunnel that intentionally looks like the opening crawl, sold

skeptical they're ever going to top Casino Royale in the modern Bond era, everything since that one has been frantic yet mediocre

I’m hoping Fukunaga delivers

hopefully they didn’t throw all the best action scenes in this new trailer because if there’s more of that in there... wow!

xp every future Bond will get a good debut and increasingly crappy further adventures

Matthew Lilard is
