:) Thanks for the reminder!
Exactly. Bond slays the villain in his castle, but gets a head injury and loses his memory. Then Bond and Madeleine disappear (to Jamaica?) where they start a new life, with Madeleine concealing who he was before. Not sure how this last point would be realistic in this age of cyber-surveillance, but perhaps Nomi helps them escape.
Ooh ahh...
Interesting stuff. If they don’t use it for this one it’s good Bond villain material!

“Michael Kors Partners With ‘007’ Film Franchise for MKC x 007 Bond Capsule Collection“
REALLY excited to see Craig host SNL again. With both Logan Lucky and Knives Out, he's really delved deeper into comedy since he last hosted. Although John Mulaney is a TOUGH act to follow. Should be good
Would be cool if Eilish was Craig’s musical guest.
Must say that would be a perfect match. Don't understand EON's poor marketing strategy this time. Booking him and her would be the first thing I my mind. And launch the Bond track some five min before online.
You can’t blame Eon if she’s due to be in another country that day or SNL don’t want the show to be entirely Bond or whatever.
Plus, it’s SNL. Not Graham Norton’s Bond special. While Craig might name drop NTTD and I’m sure the SNL writers will mention Bond or do a Bond spoof sketch, this is not a promo talk for the film. If you check out the SNL episode Craig was on before, 80 % of the sketches did not mention Bond, and Craig played a variety of characters that couldn’t be further removed from 007 if he tried. SNL is a place for him to show his comedic talent and his acting chops, promoting a film is secondary.
If you want the NTTD cast talking about the film and maybe have the singer to do the theme song in the same show, Graham Norton is your best bet. If you want Craig primarily promoting NTTD and secondarily doing a skit, it’s Colbert. Not SNL.
This. For the last couple of films at least Norton's show was the Friday before the Prem, so look out for Friday 27th March (if the Norton series is still on of course).
Although there was that bizarre one where he had the cast of M:I Fallout on while they were still shooting it! Did you see that? :) Apparently the director was pretty puzzled as to where everyone had gone! :D
No, didn't see that. What is that about the director? Puzzled about where everyone had gone?
Yeah on one of the podcasts Chris McQuarrie did (for Empire I think: hugely recommended by the way- it's so interesting to hear how he constructs these films and he's very candid about the process) he said how he was just told they've all gone off to make the Norton show when he was still in the middle of making the film with them! :D
Sorry, I realised I wasn't very clear: the director of the movie, not the TV show! :)
Ah got it. That would've been funny. :)
I predicted in 2006 that he would do 5! But I don't think I would have envisioned his last one coming out in 2020!
Another set visit post, this time from Mashable

A great piece though, and gives us a little bit more of an idea of what's going on :)
Thanks for sharing @antovolk @Contraband
I did. Both here and in trailer thread but one of the mods deleted it in here 1 min after due to double-posting

Lashana Lynch, the actress hotly anticipated to be the first ever black female James Bond, celebrated her ground-breaking role at a starry Hollywood awards ceremony, by saying, “It is an honor to be able to proudly fly our big Jamaican flag up in MI6 as a 00 agent.”
The British actress, who starred as pilot and proud single mother Maria Rambeau in “Captain Marvel,” is shaking and stirring up the Bond legacy as 00 agent Nomi in “No Time to Die,” out in April. The movie is Daniel Craig’s last as 007.
While Bond has previously featured strong characters played by stars including Grace Jones and Halle Berry, Lynch is the 60-year-old franchise’s first ever black female agent, who already has an elite 00 status, and takes over the 007 status when Bond leaves the British intelligence service MI6.
And Lynch brought the house down at Essence’s starry Black Women in Hollywood Awards ceremony. Picking up the first award at the glamorous Beverly Hills bash on Thursday, Lynch said, “It used to somewhat scare me knowing there were little black girls around the world potentially looking up to me and what I do … but I soon realized it is a golden opportunity to speak to those I care about through my work. … It was a privilege play Maria Rambeau and give an ode to single black mothers who are truly heroes without capes, and it is an honor to be able to proudly flam our big Jamaican flag up in MI6 as a 00 agent.”
Describing herself as, “A dark skinned, working class young woman from West London … who proudly comes from an immigrant family and wears her truth on her sleeve,” she paid an emotional tribute to her mom Sonia Lynch, a single mother who worked two jobs to bring her and her two brothers up, with the help of her grandmother.
Lynch said, “I grew up in a very traditional Jamaican household. … I remember being hyper-aware of my blackness,” she said, “I recall being in ballet class at a very young age and having a white teacher tell me to tuck in my backside, and I proceeded to explain why mine just doesn’t go in like everyone else.”
She added, “So then I told my mom I wanted to leave [ballet], at that young age, and because of the black women that raised me, I was confidently able to leave a space that didn’t celebrate me. And now here I am in this room being able to celebrate my skin, my hair and my [behind].”
