It has been a whopping almost sixty years since the agent 007 made his big screen debut as the eternal Sean Connery in the iconic ‘Dr. No’. Since then, things have changed in a thousand and one ways; people watch first-run movies from their living rooms, a company like Amazon has taken over MGM … but there is something related to good old Bond that seems to remain the same for a long season.
Uncertain future, but always on the big screen
With the premiere of ‘No time to die’ on the verge of candy after countless delays due to the Coronavirus pandemic – let’s cross our fingers that plans do not go wrong again – Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, top managers of the franchise, they have to face a new challenge: to draw the future of the British spy. And, if something is clear, it is that it goes on the big screen:
“We make movies. We make movies for the cinema. That’s what we do.”
With this phrase so clear, concise and resounding, Barbara Broccoli has affirmed that there is no intention of making good old James Bond jump out of the way to star in a television series. Wilson has endorsed his partner making it clear that they have been “resisting that call for 60 years”; and if six decades have not been enough, an end of the cycle with a change of actor included was not going to make a difference.
However. After the departure of Daniel Craig, whose last incarnation of the character created by Ian Fleming will be in the aforementioned ‘No time to die’, what can we expect from the saga? Broccoli believes that you have to go step by step, and that before thinking about the future, you have to leave the present tightly closed -And more in these times-.
“It’s hard to think about the future until the movie has its moment. We think we just want to celebrate it and celebrate Daniel, and then when the dust sets in, look at the big picture and find out what the future is. learned over the last 18 months is that you never know what’s going to happen in the future. So we have to sit back and think about it. “
If the premiere schedule is not altered again because of the Delta variant, ‘No time to die’ It will premiere on October 8, 2021 in the United States; with its Spanish release set to day 1 of that same month.
