    I'm 100% certain the 1h53m was likely meant to be 2h23m because somebody read 153m and forgot to convert it to hours and minutes.

    Yep. That was my first instinct too.

    Yes, of course. We're just continuing the typo theme here, is all ;)

    No way the movie is under 2 hours. Not with all the content we’ve seen so far. Also, the story. There’s a lot to unpack for it to be under 2 hours.

    I really don’t want a Bond film that lasts three hours. These aren’t Russian epics.

    I've been feeling that way. I like Bonds to run around two hours/ten minutes or so.

    Save the 3 hour films for THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, etc.


    Sometimes I like see a new Bond film more than once opening day. With work schedules I may not have the time if it's three hours.

    Agreed.
    2h 30m is more than enough.

    A 153 minute runtime sounds about right to me, considering what the film is trying to accomplish.

    Don't know if anyone's shared this:

    I don't know about anyone else but I'm kinda getting that post-Skyfall feeling again. I don't know what it is, but I didn't have this feeling post-Spectre. I don't know if I could tell it wasn't gonna be good or what, but I haven't felt this excited for a Bond film since 2012 basically haha :D

    Interesting that's a great resource site. Hopefully mulan doesn't get in the way I see it's released just before.

    I'm starting to think the reason Blofeld's line sounds so weird is because it's been stitched together. I went through it in my editing software and something feels off.

    And it's pretty much comparable to the previous films' runtimes aside from QOS, which is now looking even more like the odd duck of Craig's run. Makes me wish EON would do an alternate cut where they go back to the raw footage and re-edit it like a proper movie. The editing truly is one of the worst things about that underwhelming film.

    It's Air Studios, George Martin's recording studio - David Arnold also utilised it.

    Ironically, considering the backlash, I think this is gonna be the most Bondian film of the Craig-era.

    I couldn't agree more. I think they've all been pushed to give us the best film possible.

    It reminds me of the tabloid nonsense that followed Casino Royale (from the "Craig not Bond" stuff to "he can't drive stick" to "he got his teeth knocked out" to "he's considering quitting already" and so on). They ignored all that and gave us one of the best films in the franchise.

    Here's the NTTD-part in the article

    "No time to die director Cary Joji Fukunaga, who’s been a fan of de Armas for years, wrote the role of Paloma “specifically for Ana, adding a layer of humor to the character that I hadn’t seen her do yet—which I thought might be fun.”

    He too is quick to offer adjectives accounting for de Armas’s appeal (confidence, humor, a can-do attitude), but at the end of the day, “it’s intangible. People either have that magic quality you want to watch or they don’t. She has it. If you could quantify it, you could probably sell it.”

    Despite the tailor-made invitation to 007’s world, de Armas wanted to be sure she was not doing Bond for Bond’s sake.


    Con't..
    “Obviously I was jumping all over the place and very excited. But I needed to be sure it wouldn’t jeopardize all the work I’d been putting in, that it wouldn’t ruin everything. And the Bond women have always been, for me at least, unrelatable.”

    Her concerns were valid. In addition to rumors of writer musical chairs and on-set mishaps—as The Independent put it, “Has there been a more fraught Bond production than No Time to Die?”—this is the first Bond film of the Time’s Up era. Yet it’s not the first time the franchise has attempted to address sexism. Historically, this effort comes in the form of giving “Bond girls” nonsensically rarefied degrees and character names that exist to support a single pun. See also: “I thought Christmas only comes once a year.” Zing. “Bond girl” can be as reductive as “Latina caretaker, pretty.”

    “I don’t even call them Bond girls,” says Daniel Craig. “I’m not going to deny it to anybody else. It’s just I can’t have a sensible conversation with somebody if we’re talking about ‘Bond girls.’ ”

    Craig was first struck by Ana’s performance in Blade Runner 2049, so his reaction to her being cast alongside him in Knives Out and No Time to Die was similarly enthusiastic.

    “I should always be so lucky to work with a woman like that. This is a movie where there’s a lot of shit going on, a lot of big acting, myself very much included, but she shines through because she’s the real deal. She’s got very good comic timing and we’re not offering her a huge part. But she came in and just nailed it. She had very little to go on, the scripts are being rewritten, you’re changing things all the time or throwing them at her, and she’s not fazed by it.”

    Looks like someone doesn’t have to beg anyone’s pardon anymore. Zing.

    “You could also tell that Phoebe was in there,” says de Armas. “There was that humor and spikiness so specific to her. My character feels like a real woman. But you know, we can evolve and grow and incorporate reality, but Bond is a fantasy. In the end you can’t take things out of where they live.”

    “There wasn’t any other choice,” explains longtime Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, sounding as laser-visioned as de Armas herself. “It was Ana we all wanted.”

    Between Barbara and her father, the legendary “Cubby” Broccoli, they have produced 25 bond films. Her hold music is Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever.”

    “Her character is someone who’s just started working for the CIA, and so she’s supposed to have minimal training when she first meets Bond. The expectation is that she’s not going to be the most proficient agent, but let’s just say that she really packs a punch.”

    I am. While, I prefer a November release for Bond films, it’s been nice to have marketed with such events as the Super Bowl and the Oscars.

    More Bondesque then Casino Royale? Impossible. It doesn't get more Bond then that as it's based upon a Fleming novel, IMO.

    I meant more in terms of cinematic Bond.
