The original script (yes, I read it, I'm a horrible person) had such a better moment there. Hinx didn't say anything, but immediately after he fell off the train, Bond says, "I thought he'd never shut up."
I had less trouble with the line than the exterior shot of the train that showed it was traveling at about two miles a hour at the time. The Orient Express....it was not. I'm just hoping that the new delay for NTTD does not keep them from postponing forward movement on Bond Twenty Six is all.
"Those outside of MGM who’ve seen the movie say it’s amazing, and well worth the wait."
So that's at least some good news.

Fingers crossed that we can see it in the fall.
It's not official, they're just citing the Variety/Deadline reports and the article even notes that no official announcement has been made yet.

At this rate we will get the IOI game in 2022 before this movie sees the light of day.
I agree mostly with the bolded. It isn't going to be like nothing ever happened, as far as theatres are concerned, even when everyone is vaccinated.
Agreed, this might not be the last delay. The 2022 60th anniversary is probably too tempting, and if there is another flare up in autumn it's a no brainer. Imagine: 60 years of Bond, 25 films, Craig's last hurrah, one big release to celebrate finally overcoming the virus. It will be triumphant in a way only Skyfall was before.
The big question is whether cinemas will survive this to even show it.
Oh that's fun. I guess they might have needed to make a bit more of him not saying anything before that, maybe not.
That is the big question. It's all well and good waiting for people to be vaccinated and the virus to dissipate somewhat before releasing the film so as to bring in as much money as possible, but it's a huge handicap to that goal if a lot of cinemas have closed for good in the meantime. If it has to be delayed again, I would push it back to August at the latest and see what happens nearer the time.
As I predicted to all those hopeful Bond fans in December thinking they'd finally get to see NTTD this April in the cinemas because Joe Biden would be their new POTUS, looks like my own portents were correct about Bond 25 getting pushed back yet again to another November slot. I hate to crow, but you should've listened to me when I told you all to be prepared for another major disappointment.
I know I'm back much sooner than I orginally said I would be. To jog all your memories, I said I'd be back this February when NTTD would inevitably get pushed back again. Looks like I'll have to revise that statement and say I'll be back this November instead.
Until then... さよなら (sayonara)!!
November is still very optimistic. I'm looking at next spring as the earliest possible date right now, but as 2020 has taught us, that could easily change. You cannot plan for anything anymore.
Sad times we are in.
:(
Have a worldwide event sometime soon, with free streaming in a 24 hour period of NTTD. Imagine that: the world coming together like that. And the publicity!
They can always release it in theatres when they open up in 2022/2023/2024.
This would be a nightmare. Imagine the quality of the stream if that many people are trying to access it in a small 24 hour window... a laggy, buggy stream is absolutely not how I want to watch NTTD.
I suppose it would work if they partnered with an established streaming service with the infrastructure to pull it off, but that continues to feel unlikely.
Not to mention nobody would go see it in theatres afterwards.
I remember when the (western) World could come together either in times of crisis or joy. Live Aid, fall of the Berlin wall, several global happenings before the days of the internets.
But I guess these days it's all about profit. What happened to altruism?
Imagine Apple, HBO, Netflix etc teaming up for one day. Just one day, where everyone are allowed free access to their content, and NTTD was the kicker in that period of time on all platforms.
Is there no one at all with enough weight to pull the right strings to make this happen?
I would. Especially if 18 months or so pass between the event and the theatre release.
Okay, almost nobody then - especially if you're talking about hosting it on a streaming platform in high quality and then delaying it for 18 months. Do you really think people will not repeatedly, illegally, watch the film in those 18 months? The theatrical release would effectively be redundant. The majority who would have gone to seen it, will have already seen it and the rest simply won't care.
It's a nice thought, admittedly - but it's just not realistic.
I don't believe that the majority of people are into piracy and illegal streaming. And saying that it isn't realistic is a real downer. It's not like we are trying to send a man to Mars or something in three years time. The infrastructure is already there. All it takes is a Yes Man, a modern Bob Geldof, who sees possibilities instead of obstacles.
