  • Maybe in a few years from now but that's pushing it at the moment. I'm only 28 myself so I probably won't get my first dose until the Autumn (and that's being optimistic about the speed of the rollout in the UK).
  • Like I said, we need to buckle in and start preparing for the long haul. This isn't going away any time soon. We may be in this state of lockdown/restricted opening/tier/lockdown rinse repeat system for a good few years. Cripes, that's depressi…
  • Yep. All we can do now is wait. Again. It's nine months from now, which seems like a long time. Nine months is a long time, especially when the world's like this.
  • Pretty much, that's most of this year's blockbuster film schedule.
  • It’s funny how people are now starting to sulkily say “I’m losing interest in this movie” and yet it’s the only movie delay which has made the headlines here. Probably because it's one of the films that's been delayed the most (even before the …
  • 2021 Mainstream Film Release Schedule (as of 22/01/21): FEBRUARY 12 (UK): Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway MARCH 5: Chaos Walking MARCH 5: Raya and the Last Dragon MARCH 12: The King’s Man MARCH 26: Godzilla vs. Kong APRIL 23: A Quiet Place Part …
  • I still think that if NTTD had come out when Tenet did, it would made more money purely because it's a Bond film (so people mostly know what to expect) and you wouldn't have to explain the concept of the film to persuade people to see it, unlike Ten…
  • Hmmph. 😒 Oh well, at least we now know for sure. Of course, there's no guarantee that it won't be delayed again later.
  • Warner Bros. essentially did that with Tenet.
  • My particular bugbear at the moment is the British media's almost continual use of wartime terms when reporting about the pandemic - eg. 'fighting' against the virus or especially the phrase 'frontline workers' to describe NHS staff. I know they're …
  • It was inevitable this would be pushed back again. Covid is rampant now in the UK, and we are into another big lockdown that will drag on an on until the vaccination programme is well through most of the population, which may not be until towards th…
  • Thank you RichardTheBruce, that's very kind of you to say that. I really needed that.
  • If this is how you deal with something out of your control, like the release of a film. Albeit a Bond film, and let’s be clear, 99% of members here are waiting frantically for its eventual release. But if you get this worked up over the release of a…
  • Does anyone have those days were you forget this movie is still out there for us to see? Sometimes. To me, it feels like a Scroedinger's film at the moment, it exists yet it doesn't exist (as in it's complete and we've seen trailers for it and …
  • Hopefully, if I start dreaming of NTTD (even if my dream version of it turns out to be nonsensical like most of my dreams are), then at least I'll definitely have experienced the film in some way this year.
  • Thank you these posts Antovolk. You've made some excellent points! 🙂 I too think that a Tenet approach is quite likely at the moment. Hopefully it won't be too long before we know for sure about the film's current release date, one way or another.
  • Which streaming service do you suggest? Do you think they'll pony up anything close to the asking price that would make it a more viable alternative to sticking to a cinema release? Just curious as to whether there's anything other than emotion driv…
  • We've already had to wait 9 extra months so far because of this pandemic - it will be a full year in April (if it comes out then - otherwise more than that). That is on top of a 4 and half year gap from the release of SP. Is that not enough delayed …
  • Release the bloody film now on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming so we can enjoy it while we're all cooped up indoors and have done with it. And yes this film is important to me as it is to all of us, otherwise why would we all be talking about it on this …
  • Thank you for invalidating my feelings as well. Yes, there are more important things going on in the world right now but that doesn't make this unimportant in itself. Otherwise, why are we are all on this website talking about it?
  • Thank you Antovolk! I completely agree with what you've said, someone here who can see where I'm coming from with this!
  • Obviously I know that the pandemic wasn't EON's fault and I wasn't insinuating that. I was just trying to summarize my feelings about that first last minute delay after tickets had already gone on sale - that's what made the situation feel worse to …
  • I didn't name you in particular and I apologize if you took it as a personal shot at you, RogerJonMoorePertwee. Thanks, that's okay. I personally don't think the delays will make NTTD less satisfying for me, I just think most of us would probab…
  • Thank you for very much for trying to invalidate my feelings on this.
  • In the current world waiting one or two years for a film to come out it’s not a big deal It is when you consider the waiting that we had already gone through before the March 2020 delay, it was barely a month away from release, you could actual…
  • Nothing in life is ever guaranteed. Very true, and I knew that someone was going to say that but we have been promised this film several times (5 different release dates now) and that promise has yet to be kept (i.e. the film coming out when EO…
  • Patience has its limits. If the film were to be delayed again (say, to November 2021 for example) and we knew, in advance, that the film was definitely coming out at that point and that the film wouldn't be delayed again, that would be brilliant. I …
  • At least at that point, the film would be out and start to make some money back - obviously nothing compared to a cinema release but at some money rather than nothing - and this mess would be behind us. Wouldn't you prefer that than the uncertainty…
  • Just remember that the 60th anniversary isn't until October 2022! Be careful what you wish for.
