No Time To Die: Latest updates on Bond 25 after the Pandemic Outbreak

The 25^th film of the James Bond franchise and 5^th of Daniel Craig was due to release worldwide in April. But the fate of the world had conflicting plans. Usually, in ‘save the world’ movies, the heroes usually manage to save the world, by hook or by crook, from threats determined to cause major devastation, be it a nuclear crisis, a war or an epidemic. Since reality is stranger than fiction, no one could ‘save the world’ from COVID-19 before its widespread outbreak in the real world.

The clapperboard used while filming No Time To Die had been auctioned digitally to raise funds for the National Health Service of Britain to aid in the combat against the virus. The clapboard has been autographed by film’s top cast Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, and Ana De Armas, director Cary Joji Fukunaga and singer Billie Eilish, who has recorded the film’s theme song.
