James Bond: No Time To Die UK release date brought forward to THIS date

The latest James Bond movie has seen its release date move a number of times over the last year. Originally, the film now known as No Time To Die was set to hit cinemas this month. That was until Danny Boyle quit the project and Cary Fukunaga was brought on as his replacement. Bond 25 was then set for Valentine’s Day 2020, to allow time for the new director to come on board.

However, this was pushed back again to April 8 with a UK release date of April 3.

But now the traditionally early British date has been brought back a day to April 2.

The announcement was made through a press release on Global James Bond last Saturday when the first teaser poster for No Time To Die was launched.

April 2 is a Thursday, allowing for a bigger opening weekend for Craig’s fifth 007 outing.

Moving a film’s release date back a day or two is pretty common practice for a big blockbuster.

So fans shouldn’t be surprised if to moves back again to Wednesday, April 1.

Meanwhile, the location of Craig’s Bond in the first No Time To Die poster has been deduced.

A couple of 007 news websites worked out that Bond is leaving a location that was filmed on the Pinewood Studios lot.

The set backdrop mocks up for a Cuban venue called Palacio Velazquez, which Prince Charles was snapped by during his visit to Pinewood earlier this year.

No Time To Die Bond girl Ana de Armas, who plays Paloma, is Cuban – so perhaps this is where Craig’s 007 first comes across her.

Cuba is just north of Jamaica, where Bond has retired to in No Time To Die before Felix Leiter seeks his help.

The official synopsis of No Time To Die reads: “James Bond has left active service when his friend Felix Leiter enlists his help in the search for a missing scientist.

“When it becomes apparent that the scientist was abducted, Bond must confront a danger the likes of which the world has never seen before.”

Is Paloma this kidnapped scientist and the reason that Bond finds himself in Cuba, or is she a femme fatale?

Hopefully, the first trailer for No Time To Die will shed some light on this mystery.

No Time To Die will be released in UK cinemas on April 2, 2020.
