One of many elements of this pandemic has not being able to see the latest James Bond movie back in April when it was scheduled to hit theaters. The good news is we still get to see it this year, as opposed to some titles who have pushed their arrival until the calendar reads 2021. Daniel Craig’s final foray into the world of 007 lands in theaters on November 20 and the latest No Time to Die trailer arrives in merely 48 hours.
To celebrate that fact, producers behind the surefire hit have released a new poster and it is a classic. It features Craig donning that iconic James Bond tuxedo, weapon in hand, ready for action. We wouldn’t want him any other way.
Director Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation) is behind the camera, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Killing Eve) is one of the screenwriters—i.e., this thing has major pedigree behind the scenes.
The plot of the film, from what we can tell, finds Bond retired from service of the crown and living a life of R&R in Jamaica. That peaceful landscape is disrupted when his old CIA friend Felix (Jeffrey Wright, brilliant casting) shows up and seeks his help in finding a kidnapped scientist. Of course, Bond gets drawn into an international affair that finds him confronting a new villain (Rami Malik!) and visiting with an old foe (Christoph Waltz’s Ernst Stavro Blofeld).
Of course, the hope is to open the film in November, as it stands right now, that may not happen in America with the virus still raging and incoming colder weather not helping things.
