"Daniel Craig returns as James Bond, 007 in… NO
TIME TO DIE. Out in the UK on 3 April 2020 and 8 April 2020 in
the US," according to a brief posting on the official 007
Twitter account.
Filming for the new movie, previously known only as Bond 25, got
under way in Jamaica in April when producers announced that
Oscar winner Rami Malek will play the villain in latest entry in
lucrative British spy franchise.
Craig confirmed in 2017 that he would return for a fifth time as
secret agent 007.
Producers said on Tuesday that the new film would see Bond
enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service
before an old friend, Felix Leiter, from the CIA turns up asking
for help.
Bond embarks on a mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist, which
puts him on the trail of a mysterious villain armed with
dangerous new technology, they added.
"No Time to Die" was initially expected to arrive in movie
theaters in November 2019 but that date was pushed back to 2020
after Britain's Danny Boyle pulled out as director and was
replaced by American Cary Joji Fukunaga.
The film is also being shot in London, Italy and Norway and
actors reprising their roles will include Ralph Fiennes as M,
Naomie Harris as Moneypenny and Ben Whishaw as Q.
The Bond franchise is one of the movie world's most lucrative
with 2015's "Spectre" raking in $880 million at the box office
worldwide, while "Skyfall" in 2012 grossed more than $1 billion
globally.
