    Even if released in November things will not have returned to "normal" so I think box office will be lower than hoped for.

    Absolutely. A Nov 2020 release will force NTTD to underperform regardless the reception and the quality of the film. How much, it’s still impossible to figure.

    Thing's Will be much more clear in July imo.

    Sure... but since life on planet earth won’t be the same as long as there’s not a vaccine/cure it’s obvious places like theaters will be affected in some form.

    No by July i meant we might know if film is being delayed again or not.

    It won't be.

    What are you basing this on? Genuine question not being snarky cause I'm trying to be hopeful but I see the evidence pointing in the other direction.

    My gut is telling me it won't be, but you're not wrong to question it. The truth is that we simply don't know, right now, what the next 2-3 months will bring and how that will impact the backend of the year.

    Pick a side. ;-)

    Níl mé ach ;-)

    Ok so you're not basing that statement on anything at all.

    Historically, pandemics come in waves. This thing may slow down in the summer but could very likely come back with a vengeance in the Fall, which would jeopardize any crowd-gathering events in the near future. These are very uncertain times and I surely hope things improve soon, but looking at historical precedent as well as how far off a safe treatment is, I am highly skeptical of the notion that people will be going to the movies in 2020.

    You are basing all of this on assumptions.

    He's basing it on historical precedent. People need to realize history is to be learned from.

    Corona isn't even the worst pandemic this planet has ever seen.

    That's not even its name. I don't really see what you're arguing with here, it's very strange. There aren't any solid certainties going on here.

    All this discussion, if anyone can parse any of it, should be in the Coronavirus thread, I would think.

    The Rake magazine is doing an issue meant to coincide with the release of NTTD this month. An in depth look into Eon’s Bond archives, interview with Waltz. I think someone else posted about it earlier but it seems pretty cool.

    In their Instagram post, though, they mention “Blofield”. Blofeld’s long lost foster brother perhaps?

    @Red_Snow thanks for posting it first!

    I wonder how much Christoph Waltz will lie this time. If he’s interviewed.

    Cary also put to rest the idea that they're editing/re-shooting. He said something like that is costly-- yes, even on a Bond film. Secondly he discussed any project can be tinkered with, to what end. He said that NTTD is perfect as is, it's a great film, and it was his hope that others will feel the same.

    Exactly. Fukunaga himself basically shut down all that nonsense regarding potential reshoot/trimming/further polishing: NTTD is locked, 100% finished and the director is 100% happy with it.

    The movie is great as it is.

    They have a director like Fukunaga and they don't give him time to perfect the film... Shameful. I imagine he wants to improve some special effects but that costs too much money.

    You’re totally misinterpreting his words. Creative people can work on their projects endlessly, because they will always find something to change or something to improve. It’s inherent in their nature. For me, as an architect, is basically the same. But this is not how things work. He finished his film on schedule, he was happy with it and he was ready to share it with the audiences. There’s nothing shameful. Nothing.

    It's just that I have no trust in the producers. If someone like Fukunaga asks for more time and a little more money, give it to him ! If the film is great I will be frustrated if some details like the special effects are imperfect because the producers wanted to make as much profit as possible.
    The producers don’t have magic pockets with unlimited amounts of money. That’s not how this business works.

    If Fukunaga asks for 50 million more ok, but I don't think that's the case.

    Making a Bond film is a punch. A marathon. It’s always been like this. They finished the film on schedule, Cary said “It is great as it is” and that’s it.

    I hope you're right, but I'm curious to know the improvements Fukunaga would have wanted.

    I wouldn't mind Bond taking a ten year break after Craig. I bet Barbara is seeing the same thing.

    Let people just forget Bond. Wait for a chunk of its audience to pass, and then bam! Introduce a new, cool, freshly minted British Asian Bond. Hip, woke, sensitive neo+Bond who carefully listens to women while grasping his knee (which is over another knee) instead of being aggressive. A Bond who doesn't F married women but helps them get back with their partners.

    What. Is. Your. Problem? You seem to be a gaslighter with talks about boobies, a dislike for Americans, and an issue with anything that can be seen as "progressive". You can spout your sarc on Breitbart... So annoying and not funny.

    Variety mention that “No Time to Die,” was scheduled to open in April, but has been postponed until January due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    https://variety.com/2020/film/news/mgm-buys-ridley-scott-lady-gaga-true-crime-drama-about-gucci-family-1234574500/

    It is hidden in an article about a rather fantastic-sounding Ridley Scott film about Gucci. So it could be a misprint or a small little update that NTTD will depart its planned November release and move to 2021....

    Makes me sad.

    Variety do seem to make these sort of cock ups quite a lot. Didn't they announce that Harrison Ford had said the new Indiana Jones movie started filming 'next week' but Ford had actually said 'next few months' or something?
    It might be true but then they might also have made another mistake.

    Maybe they pre-empted an EON press release? They usually release information through the official channels at 5PM UK time.

    I hope you're right, but I'm curious to know the improvements Fukunaga would have wanted.

    Way back in college, I got some advice from a guest speaker surrounding redrafting scripts that I have carried with me ever since, and I think is applicable here with the notion of re-editing and re-shooting:

    There are often circumstances where a writer gets some time to tinker around and mess with a previous draft of a script. The previous draft is fairly on the money; all the beats are hit efficiently; the storytelling is economic but exciting. It's a winner. It'll be a great film in the hands of a good director. The writer has full confidence in it.

    But there's something niggling away in the back of the writer's mind; "What if I tried this instead?" or "What if I moved this to here?" or "What if this character says this here?". Being a perfectionist, he can't help himself. He makes changes, tweaks the dialogue, moves things around. Even small things make a big difference.

    Soon, what was once an efficient, strong screenplay is now a bit more muddled, a bit more overexplanatory, a bit less impactful. It's still the same, for the most part, it just lands a bit different. The writer had all the best intentions, he thought he was making the script better.

    But it's not always the case. That is the unfortunate side effect of being a perfectionist. You are never finished.

    Cary undoubtedly would have had ideas for things to tweak (I'm sure they were interesting too), but I think (or at least I hope) that his comments on his Instagram post mean we are in for a script like the previous draft in my scenario above, and not the latter.

    Not sure I'd count it out just yet.....the same journalist, Brent Lang also dates MGM's new Gucci film for Thanksgiving 2021. No other publication has mentioned that date. Seems Variety are getting dates directly from MGM.

    So it looks like it could be true....

    Maybe they pre-empted an EON press release? They usually release information through the official channels at 5PM UK time.

    Unlikely, definitely feels like a mistake.

    Not sure I'd count it out just yet.....the same journalist, Brent Lang also dates MGM's new Gucci film for Thanksgiving 2021. No other publication has mentioned that date. Seems Variety are getting dates directly from MGM.

    So it looks like it could be true....

    Uh, no - THR has that date too and they broke the story, they're the ones who got it from MGM. And they say November for Bond so. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mgm-buys-ridley-scotts-gucci-film-lady-gaga-set-star-1289108

    That date was added after the Variety report...

    I checked on Google: NOBODY is talking about a new release date.

    It is hidden in an article about a rather fantastic-sounding Ridley Scott film about Gucci. So it could be a misprint or a small little update that NTTD will depart its planned November release and move to 2021....

    Makes me sad.

    Agreed I couldn't find anything. Really hope this was a mistake. Just seems far too early to delay it again. If we saw this article in July/August I'd be more inclined to believe it.

    If things Aren’t back to normal by august or September it’s getting delayed again. They need marketing time and things to flow again.

    Set report from the same guy who posted the bike

    On location in Matera, Italy shooting ‘No Time To Die’. We had 9 cameras rolling on this action set piece. I was assisting Tim Worcester’s static 65mm turning on a high-angle long shot of the DB5 squealing through the stone-baked streets.

    The heat was tough with temperatures reaching into the 40s! And I was a little closer to the sun here, stood on a tall, remote ledge teased by the vertical drop below my feet. Umbrella was up, shirt buttons gradually coming undone. 🙄 My boss radioed to ask if there was any point even wearing a shirt? 🙈 I said it was easy for him to say from down on the ground where it was at least 1 degree cooler! (Lucky bastard😅.)

    Any day on set is a good day, but any day on set in Matera is a great day! Just wished they’d turned the heating down so we all didn’t constantly look like we’d just stepped out of the shower.We shot a kick-ass sequence that day, and I’m still sad that the movie’s been delayed; I’ll occasionally post fond memories of the shoot until November release to get me by

    Moving the film from November to January won’t change anything. If they will delay for the 4th bloody time the next release date will be 100% safe (at least Spring ‘21, with F9 moved in Summer). So don’t panic.
