    In all honestly I'd be super happy with 165 purely because that would allow IMAX 70mm prints to be made. The maximum current platter size for these is exactly 165 minutes - Interstellar even had to have shortened end credits to fit! I do generally agree @Pierce2Daniel it's not an Endgame situation, though it is like Endgame in being a finale...

    Not sure if anyone noticed, but Craig said that in the round table interview with his co-stars on Entertainment Weekly that No Time To Die will conclude all 5 films he's starred in as Bond including Casino Royale. Hope we're not dealing with another The Rise of Skywalker.

    Yeah, Barbara also confirmed the same in that Variety interview, and so did Fukunaga in Empire. 'Shapeherding the world to its finality', with it being an 'emotionally satisfying conclusion', with most loose ends tied up.

    With that 3 hour run time...I doubt it'll be like RoS, at least Blofeld is indeed just in prison!

    The Latvian distributor for the film Forum Cinemas appears to be also reporting the 174 minute runtime...before today they previously had 1 mins as a placeholder.

    This is interesting….

    I think Eon are obviously prepping exhibitors that the film will be looooooooooooooooooong.

    I think past examples of Hollywood tentpoles that may be good indicators of length are as follows:
    1. The Dark Knight Rises: 165 minutes
    2. Interstellar: 169 minutes
    3. It Chapter Two: 169 minutes
    4. Blade Runner 2049: 163 minutes

    On this basis, I think it’s likely that NTTD will come in around 163-169 minutes. If the film is really near to 174 minutes (with credits), I think CJF should keep cutting. That kinda runtime is enticing to me as a fan, but to general audiences it keeps like a chore. He only needs to trim another 5-10 minutes to make a justifiable argument.

    Unlike, @antovolk I do not believe this is an Avengers: Endgame situation. That film already had a $2 billion audience in waiting after Infinity War. Marvel have a very captive audience who binge the 2/3 releases they put out a year. Bond is a little more bespoke and (evidently) less frequent in its output. People knows the Marvel side characters, however audiences are already struggling to recall who Madeleine Swann is…..the first trailer was basically designed to remind people to re-watch Spectre (or at least read the Wiki).

    NTTD will be locked now. At best there might be a few minor trims here and there, more often than not to adjust slightly for the music score (this is pretty common), or slipping or trimming final VFX shots by a few frames, but any major editing or cuts are unlikely once a film is being mixed in the sound theatre and the score is being recorded - the film needs to be fine cut for those final stages of the sound and the score, plus for negative cutting and grading, which will be happening very soon now.

    It does seem we are in for a long film, I always expected as much, and we'll soon know the precise length. I'm personally betting on 155 - 160 mins.

    Yes, he's been the voice inside Bond's head the entire time and cloned Blofeld.

    In all seriousness, though, I hope that was more of a throw away line and with the exception of Madeline, Spectre and Blofeld that the previous films aren't mentioned. I don't want to see another Spectre like scene where we see LeChiffre, Silva, Green and Vesper in the MI6 building rigged to explode.

    Brilliant.
  • That aside, I'll say that a general sense of 'over-stuffedness' has been probably my main concern for the movie. I usually prefer when a Bond film has a bit of room to breathe, to give us a bit of travelogue and characterization, and general "lifestyle porn."
    In the early days when we were getting plot, location, and character snippets, it really seemed like there were a lot of moving pieces to fit into the movie.
    I really hope that the running time - if it's to be this long - ends up feeling epic rather than just long.

    Do you think with that article the other day, we've got the whole cover story that Entertainment Weekly are releasing tomorrow, or just a snippet?

    What does Daniel Craig think about the red hot reception that greeted the sweater game of his Knives Out costar Chris Evans? When your writer met the British actor in New York for EW’s No Time to Die cover shoot I had reason to ask him. You see, that very morning had seen the release of Craig’s character poster for the latest James Bond adventure which showed 007 himself sporting a nifty blue “jumper,” as they say in the U.K. So, was this prompted by jealousy of the love shown for Evans’ woolly body-warmer?

    “I’m jealous of his pecs, that’s what I’m jealous of!” said the actor, with a chuckle.

    Craig did let slip that the outfit he wears in the image does have a special significance.

    “It’s interesting, because, that costume, a lot of heartache and thought goes into that, and you’ll see what it is,” he said. “It means something in the movie.”

    Thats the one.

    Not sure if it has been mentioned but npeal (who made it) confirmed it featured in the “final action sequence of the film”.

    Speaking of purchasing Bond stuff I used to buy everything I could get my hands on back in the old days (even had a silver Aston Martin DB5 for twenty five years as a daily driver and stuff I picked up while on the oil rig from DAF) but now I don't even go out of my way to buy the latest magazine. I still follow Bond and am looking forward to NTTD but I find it interesting that my collecting days are over.

    If you search for ‘Woolly Pully’ you’ll find lots of British military jumpers and there’ll be a similar one in there somewhere.
