Wonder if they try and do some post production

Add in a baddy releasing a flu like virus and Bond has to stop it?

I wonder if they're still not totally happy and are using the virus as an excuse to do more work on the film?

Nope. This is one of the studios biggest releases and the idea that they cannot flog the film all over the world wont be palatable for the money men/women.

No excuses now for not getting it completely right because of time constraints.

Maybe the producers are just regretting firing Danny Boyle and have come to the realisation that the Madeleine Swann and Blofeld characters are just plain shit?

Using Spectre as a foundation for this film is pretty unstable considering how poor that film was.

Optics aren't great though are they. No Time To Die at a time when an epidemic may well decide it is time for quite a lot of people to die.

This film has that kind of Duke Nukem development hell feel about it.

Some horrendous CGI in there, if a Bond stunt can't be done with real people then it shouldn't be in the movie.

Don't get the need for them to show so much of the film in the trailer.

I thought the trailer was decent - definitely better than the first one.

Now pushed to April 2021. I don't think we're seeing any more big movie releases in cinemas this year.

Not good. Cinemas absolutely fucked with no big movies until Spring 2021.

Many won't survive, the industry itself in question, with premium streaming waiting in the wings.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #97 on:** October 3, 2020, 07:18:08 am »

Yeah it’s a very difficult balance isn’t it. Studios want big numbers watching their films and paying back the cost of making them, but if they don’t give the cinemas something to put out then they’ll all be losing even more money.

The problem is, you might not be able to go to a cinema at all before long.

This is a hammer blow to the industry.

But the problem there is even with premium streaming or VOD, the studios won't make back what they put in, forget about profits

If the theatres shut down till March or April, that's the end of them. I don't see how they'll even be around to open back up

With masks and with this pandemic, people are not going to go into the cinema in vast numbers and rightly so. I am not setting foot in one or even a bar, pub, restaurant, gig etc. until this fucking pandemic is over.

Its a risky environment and i worry even going to the cinema may lead to a spread of the virus.

This unfortunately is in the hands of the government to save.

It appears Cineworld are closing all their cinemas after the Bond cancellation. All 5000+ staff potentially being made redundant

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #102 on:** October 4, 2020, 07:24:19 am »

I don’t see why they couldn’t have just released it twice. Once in November to give the cinemas a boost, and again in April for the large swathes of people who are probably too wary to go to a cinema right now.

Probably due to the furlough scheme ending rather than one film not being released.

I understand not going into a cinema with a mask on for that long but why not a restaurant or bar where no mask is needed? You can't just write off 7-10 more months off life like that IMO because that is a realistic time frame of the pandemic 'ending' as you say and even then I'm not sure.

Like anything else it's about common sense.

Am I going to go to a restaurant with my girlfriend sometimes? Yes.

Am I going to see friends and family in small numbers if local lockdown is lifted? Yes.

Am I going to hug my 82 year old nan or go near her indoors? No.

Am I going to bend the rules and go to a house party of 30 odd people? No.

Common sense is all we can do now.

I mean the atmosphere is shite with so much social distancing but we know that it can spread indoors, especially places like pubs where you are there for a little while.

I am writing off that aspect of my life for 7-10 months if I have to. The only thing I won’t write off is meeting family and friends but if I need to meet them outdoors in the pissing rain for a year then that’s how it is.

Just release it on Netflix or some other platform and be done with it.

Apparently MGM did have some talks with streaming services about selling the rights. They wanted somewhere between $600-800m, but the streamers weren't willing to go over $400m - which is less than MGM have already spent on the movie.

So that's probably not a goer for them, but you'd question how they're going to make their money back anyway since crowds aren't going to be back in force at cinemas for a long time. Maybe put it in cinemas in October and agree a deal with Netflix to debut the movie a month later or something?

Going to be hilarious if the movie is rubbish after all this.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #109 on:** January 22, 2021, 12:27:51 pm »

They are really missing a trick either not selling streaming rights or even set up their own service.

MGM must be sitting on thousands of films from the 20's to today.

Let's see if they blink and also release this on streaming platforms in October.

I have my doubts that millions of people will be gagging to go to the cinema in October 2021. Let's hope things are better than mind, ffs we will need it!

Really hope it comes out this time, though with how many trailers they've now released I'm hoping they've saved some good bits for the actual film.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #114 on:** September 1, 2021, 06:02:13 pm »

to be honest I think they've fucked it. I don't think the covid numbers in October will be as bad as Jan-Apr this year but I do think we'll be back to triple digits dead every day and 35+ new cases and I think people will be reluctant to go to the cinema. I heard the rumour they tried to offload to Amazon/Netflix for $500m - I think they should have taken less than that and bailed. Cinema's will never see the numbers we saw in the previous 15 years, ever.

John_P · « **Reply #115 on:** September 1, 2021, 11:13:40 pm »

If they'd released it last summer (say when Tenet came out) it might've done OK as it would've at least tempted people back to the cinema for something of an event (which Tenet certainly wasn't). Instead they pushed it to November and then pulled the release, which made Cineworld decide to close again. Then they initially planned to open in April but cinemas were still closed then, if they went for May/June they'd have got it out and might've done similar numbers to Fast 9. Suppose at this point they just have to get it out and hope to break even on DVD, digital sales etc. Plus for the franchise itself they need to release it so they can get on with casting and announcing the next Bond so they can move on with the next film.

They are, but then again, Spectre got glowing five star reviews across the board and that turned out to be a load of tripe. Were publications getting paid by MGM to overrate the film?

I never trust Bond reviews - even the generally trustworthy Kermode & Mayo gave the last one a great review.

Yeah I've been thinking the same, can't recall any of them getting a kicking until after they'd been out for a while. Both EON and cinemas generally need this to succeed in a big way.

I've got no axe to grind either way with Bond. I'd not go to the pictures to see a Bond film, but I'll watch it when it comes on the telly.

Anyway, I get the feeling that this one would get rave reviews regardless, simply because I keep hearing that there is a hope that this film will help ''save cinemas'' just now.
