Coronavirus delays release of new James Bond movie
London: The release of new James Bond movie will be delayed until November amid fears over the new coronavirus outbreak.
The makers of the new James Bond movie said that the movie was initially due for global release next month but following the coronavirus outbreak it would be delayed until November.
The film, “No Time to Die”, had been set to have its premiere in London on March 31, before its rollout worldwide in April.
“MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020,” said a tweet from the official 007 Twitter account.
“The film will be released in the UK on November 12, 2020, with worldwide release dates to follow, including the US launch on November 25, 2020.”
The postponement of the latest chapter in the legendary franchise came as concern over the COVID-19 epidemic continued to mount globally.
The virus, which first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, has since infected more than 93,000 people worldwide and killed more than 3,200, mainly in China, with numerous countries now struggling to contain its spread.
Britain had confirmed 85 COVID-19 cases as of Wednesday but no deaths reported so far.
Some of the major global events like football matches, carnivals, concerts and commercial gatherings have been canceled due to coronavirus fear.
“No Time to Die”, the 25th instalment of the fictional British spy saga, sees Bond drawn out of retirement in Jamaica by his old friend and CIA agent Felix Leiter.
It is expected to be actor Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007, after starring in four previous films
