<p>The latest James Bond movie<em>, No Time to Die</em>, was ready to be released in May of 2020 but with COVID lockdowns in place in many parts of the world, its release was delayed again and again but now finally, it will be released in Australia and New Zealand on the 11th November.</p> <p>The date for many other parts of the rest of the world is early October but unfortunately the movie is further delayed for Australia and New Zealand because of the continuing lockdowns we've been experiencing.</p> <p>While other movies ended up being released on streaming platforms such as Disney+ and Netflix, this wasn’t possible for the latest James Bond film because the movie cost over $400 million Australian dollars to make and it’s reported it needs to take in US $900 million just to break even – making it the most expensive Bond movie ever made.  </p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BIhNsAtPbPI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><strong>Daniel Craig stars again – many say this will be his last Bond movie</strong></p> <p><em>No Time to Die</em> is the 25th film in the James Bond franchise, making it the largest and most well-known film series ever.

Some have even touted the next James Bond will be female.</p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pcYuPU8MP1w" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><em>Blade Runner 2049</em> star, Ana De Armas appears alongside Daniel Craig as a ‘Bond Girl’ while Captain Marvel’s Lashana Lynch joins the cast.</p> <p>In interesting news, Rami Malek of <em>Bohemian Rhapsody</em> fame is playing the main Bond villain.

His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.</p> <p>The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.</p> <p><strong>Theme song by Billie Eilish</strong></p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BboMpayJomw" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>You may have heard the theme song for <em>No Time to Die</em> is performed by Billie Eilish. The 18-year-old wrote the title song with her elder brother, FINNEAS. This makes the duo the <em>youngest artists in history</em> to write and record a James Bond theme song.</p> <p>Billie Eilish has been quoted as saying: “It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock”.</p> <p>Her brother FINNEAS adds: “Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of <em>Goldfinger </em>and <em>Live And Let Die</em>. We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”</p> <p>In reference to the film’s theme song, director Cary Joji Fukunaga said: “There are a chosen few who record a Bond theme. I am a huge fan of Billie and FINNEAS. Their creative integrity and talent are second to none and I cannot wait for audiences to hear what they’ve brought – a fresh new perspective whose vocals will echo for generations to come.”</p> <p><strong>Release date</strong></p> <p>The 25th 007 film will be released in Australia and New Zealand on 11<sup>th</sup> November. Where cinemas are open, <em>No Time to Die </em>will be playing.</p> <p><em>Images and Video: YouTube and No Time to Die</em></p> <p><em> </em></p>
