Had the coronavirus pandemic not stopped the world, Cary Fukunaga’s upcoming James Bond movie “No Time to Die” would’ve been in cinemas around much of the globe this weekend and in the U.S. this coming Friday.
Now though, the film has seven months of breathing room before it arrives in early November. Many productions would use all that extra time to make tweaks and potentially improve the final product.
During an Instagram interview this week, Fukunaga was asked if that what was happening with Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing as 007. Surprisingly it turns out that’s not the case.
Fukunaga says: “Although more time would have been lovely, we had to put our pencils down when we finished our post-production window.” He also explained why it would be pointless to tinker any further: “Short answer is money. And although Bond is a big movie, we still have to weigh cost with value. And like anything, you could tinker endlessly. The movie is great as it is.”
Fukunaga is seemingly happy with the film as it is in its finished state which is sitting in a vault waiting for the lockdown to end. “No Time to Die” is slated for release on November 12th.
