This third
postponement was first published on the Twitter account of the famous British
secret agent, accompanied by the poster of the film with actor Daniel Craig in
the iconic Bond tuxedo.
The
coronavirus pandemic has caused the closure of thousands of cinemas around the
world and upset the schedule of most big productions, some of which have chosen
to broadcast their films in streaming to limit the loss of revenue.
Last fall,
the production of Bond announced that the release of the 25th opus in the
series was postponed to April 2, 2021 "so that it can be seen in the
cinema worldwide".
On Thursday,
MGM said in a statement to AFP that "No Time To Die" would now be
released on October 8, 2021.
The film,
whose world premiere was initially scheduled for March 31, 2020 in London, had
already been postponed for the first time due to the pandemic.
In the film,
which should be the last for Daniel Craig, James Bond has quit his secret
service activities and is finally enjoying a quiet life in Jamaica. But his
peace of mind is quickly interrupted when his old friend from the CIA, Felix
Leiter, comes to ask him for help.
The
"villain" of the story is embodied by the American of Egyptian origin
Rami Malek, who won the 2019 Oscar for best actor for his portrayal of Freddie
Mercury, iconic singer of the rock group Queen.
Alongside him
are Lashana Lynch, Léa Seydoux, Ana de Armas, Ben Whishaw and Christoph Waltz.
The official
theme of the film, also titled "No Time To Die", is performed by
young American singer Billie Eilish.
