MGM is insisting thatNo Time to Dieis still hitting theaters in November. As further assurance, the officialJames Bondpodcast is launching this week, which will help to hype up the release of the upcoming movie, which will serve as Daniel Craig’s final go-around as 007. The podcast will feature interviews with the cast and filmmakers behind the 25th Bond movie, including Craig and more.
A trailer for No Time To Die: The OfficialJames BondPodcast has been released ahead of the show’s premiere. It features footage from the trailers for the movie, with audio from host James King setting up what listeners can expect from the show. We also hear audio clips from the series from guests including Daniel Craig and Rami Malek, who is playing the mysterious villain Safin.
The podcast launches on Wednesday, September 30. The six-part series features exclusive interviews with Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Jeffrey Wright, Naomie Harris, director Cary Joji Fukunaga and producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Billie Eilish, who wrote the movie’s theme song, will also appear on the show with and Finneas O’Connell, in addition to key behind the scenes crew.
Each of the six episodes focusses on a different aspect of the franchise, detailing Bond from music, gadgets, locations, stunts, costumes and cars. Those who listen to the show will also hear exclusive music from the movie’sscore from Hans Zimmerand brand-new recordings from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
With six episodes released weekly, the show will conclude its run just ahead of the scheduled release forNo Time to Die. At the moment, the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2015’sSpectreis set to arrive on November 12 in the U.K. and November 20 in the U.S. Should those dates stick, the podcast will wrap up the week before the movie’s theatrical debut.
That said, there is some doubt as to whether or not the date will stick. Following the release ofTenet, virtually every other big movie, including Marvel’sBlack Widow, vacated 2020, opting instead for a release in 2021.No Time to Diehad originally been set to arrive in April and became one of the first major movies to delay its release. There has been some doubt as to whether or notMGM will stick to its guns. Though the marketing continues to assert that they do. Whether or not that proves to be a smart financial decision remains to be seen.
