It helps it all feel more retro. And I also love that NTTD is the title of a Cubby Broccoli-produced, Terence Young-directed film from the late 50s. It's a nice little homage.

That pic looks like it should be No Time To Drive
I doubt though at the moment that this film will give me such bad vibes. Even if I´m still not sure how good they will be.
Just an idea.
You are angry? Dude, you really need a life. Seriously.
I like that the title can mean, "this is no time for dying", or be a nod to Jesse Ventura in Predator.
Shootout between Bond and Malek, Bond girl shouts over at Bond: "James! Please, don´t die!"
Bond: "Darling, I ain´t got time to die."
Pure class.
And now I can´t stop hearing Jack White and Alicia Keys, but they´re having trouble with the metrum. There are not enough syllables for the refrain.
Love that too.
This is a really smart post.
Great spot.

That's some fascinating history! Perhaps this is something of a tribute to Cubby and Terence?
Plus I think it fits, without any "meh" to it.
No time to retire ... no time to give up ... no time to die.
Time for Bond to be Bond again.
Very nice to learn the early titled film that Cubby produced and Terence directed; that's interesting. Thanks, @Red_Snow (or whoever brought that info here first).
It's Bondian/Fleming enough for me, and now we can move to speculating about the title song. ;)
At time code 1:05 you can see a black van with a plate on the roof. It might be for a gyro camera on a remote crane like this:
Since they gonna have a car chase on sunday it seems highly possible. The same thing when they shot the opening chase along Garda lake in the tunnel in Quantum of Solace
Less than zero chance that this has been done in ignorance of the history.
Young, Cubby and Maibaum all involved in the 1958 film.
I doubt there's a huge amount of significance to it. Just a nice historical echo.
I hope they use the title this time as it seems to lend itself easily to a lyric.
Luciana Paluzzi was in it too. Unfortunately in USA they re-titled it Tank Force.
I agree; was relieved to finally stop calling it Bond 25, and I really like the title. I knew there’d be detractors, but I think this is about as good as it gets for an original, non-Fleming title. It’s Bondian and just sounds good.
In my mind it should be a fairly simple phrase to work as a song. I get why they turned the other way with the Craig titles save for Skyfall.
See? This one with Cary directing is going to be different enough in lots of ways. ;) Breath of fresh air and all that.
