I can't wait to cringe when I'm in nonexistent movie theaters in 2025 because of fear virtue people. Or should we push this to 2026? Probably safer then.

Reportedly MGM have lost $30 million to $50 million due to the delays of the film.

Streaming options have been considered

[NinjaPug]

If that $600 million figure is true how do you not make that deal?

You're not getting close to that if released next year and you can't keep delaying every 6 months. I don't know that the global box office would even reach $600 million even with a vaccine and that gets split 50/50 with theaters.

[CyberCubed]

Hopefully it does get a streaming release soon. Not everyone will pay to watch it but they'll make some money at least.

[Sumac]

At this point streaming might be the only option to make back some of the money wasted on this.

[ZariusTwo]

I guess now the movie will also now have a dedication to Sir Sean Connery, who died today

[CyberCubed]

Probably fitting this is likely the last Daniel Craig Bond movie too.

It's time for a clean slate after this.

I am afraid he replace him with a woman, because, "DivErsIty". Or make new Bond weak and effeminate.

[ZariusTwo]

It's come to light there was a war movie produced by Cubby Broccoli in the 1950s called No Time To Die, directed and written by the team that made a lot of Connery's Bond movies


In America, it was called Tank Force

The "new 007" black lady is complaining that people are being mean to her on the internet, ala Kelly Marie Tran.

[Sumac]

Boo-hoo-hoo.
When this idiots will learn that Internet is LAWLESS place, with all things its entails, like trolls, psychos and idiots running around?

Or is she trying to get support, because, her paycheck was too small?

[Hamato Yoshi]

"In memory of Sean and Roger" would be most fitting

Wasn't she also whining lately about her role in the movie?

Apparently. In a year there will probably be an interview where she complains why nobody will hire her to be in a movie, and how Hollywood must be intrinsically racist. Etc, etc..

Yeah, it makes me think the role isn't going to be all that substantial and she's making it known she's pissed at that.

Yeah, she'll be a d*ck to Bond in the way all 'replacement' agents are a d*ck to the protagonists in spy drama double-acts, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be in any way 'empowering' or stands out from the norm of that cliche. In current year, it's not going to 'change the world'.

So in other words she'll just act like a bitch to him, but not a woke bitch and won't get to use buzzwords like 'patriarchy'' and whatnot.

>The four escape as Safin’s lair explodes, and Bond retires to be with his family while Nomi returns to the MI6 as the new 007.

Sounds generic, but so most of the Bond plots.
Hopefully execution will deliver, unlike Spectre.

Expected to be delayed to the fall

[Sumac]

I wonder how much money they lost with those delays?
Not that it matters, since MGM is to sell itself, but still...
