;)) Yes. The Love Bond.
So what are we, some kind of No time to die?
They should have used him again. I mean he’s finished it already. He’s got Bond 26 done too.
Hahaha exactly,the most economical and money saving composer in history,methinks.
Is the title No Time To Die or No Time to Time? Wikipedia and IMDB uses the latter - and I assume they get their information directly from Eon/Universal
Let's get the grammar correct.
Bond: No Time To Die
Villian: In No Time you will die
Bond: No Time To Die
Bond: I have no time to die sir..
M: Alright..
Who is James Bond ?
Always on time to die..
The title and font are not the really important things for me. Certainly not the font of the title.
The title is fine as far as Bond titles go.
Story, character, plot, pace, cinematography, score and overall enjoyment factor are much more important to me, as a Bond fan.
In the USA, at least, words such as “to”, “from”, “the” (as well as “a”) are not capitalized in book and film titles unless they are at the very beginning of said title. Examples:
A View to a Kill
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
License to Kill
The Man With the Golden Gun
Diamonds Are Forever
Why is “with” capitalised and “the” isn’t?
Prefer my own:
That looks quite neat! B-)
I prefer their font. Its retro and different. I'm sick of that 007 game. It's like they have to do it, like if it was a new canonical thing. I really prefer the thing they did this time around. Kudos to EON for choosing that designer and his ideia.
(Sort of like the Brits pronouncing "lieutenant" with an imaginary, completely unnecessary "F" in it...)
The Italians, by the way, only capitalize the first letter in book and film titles -- nothing else (unless it is the name of a person or place).
Because this title was just announced and we've not even seen a trailer for the film yet - there's no conversation to be had regarding a title for Bond26 that'll be anything but spammy and full of the exact same discussion that's been had here for the last 50-75 pages. It'll be tweaked eventually, but not for a while.
What´s up with those capitals and small letters? Just write it as the title announcement does, all capitals :-).
I know...so naff isn't it.
That is how it is here in Scandinavia as well.
Me too. I’m also sick of those kind of “Nolan” font without any identity.
Yes, absolutely! I’d even like it if they added an element to the font, like they did in FRWL and OP. One with the soviet symbol and the other with the octopus’s arms. Those were the days, right? Identity was not a bad word back then ;)
No one has ever insisted the title of a Bond film had to be taken from a phrase used by Fleming in a letter that he had never even intended as a title. If that was the case, Die Another Die could have been justifiably titled Sucks to You or My Stupid Book.
And no one has ever argued that Fleming's actual titles should be indiscriminately used or shoved in. I have previously argued that using Quantum of Solace for Craig's second film was a mistake, especially because the film didn't even bother explaining the title, which Fleming did.
Campbell had a thing about toilets. He introduced Brosnan in one as well. Kind of odd.
Doesn't really stand up to Sean and Tim's classic intros.

Is this Eon's attempt to rewrite history - or a decision from IMDB?
Personally, the chief reason the title has won me over slightly is the connection to this movie.
Any film nerds who can explain the history of the 1958 film?
I really want to see it now. The Cubby Warwick films I have seen are pretty damn cool.
FIRE DOWN BELOW is great. Robert Mitchum and Jack Lemmon fight for the affections of Rita Hayworth in the Caribbean.
THE RED BERET (a.k.a PARATROOPER) with Alan Ladd is also a lot of fun.
I'll bet NO TIME TO DIE (1958) with Victor Mature is also right up my alley.
No Time to Die was released as Tank Squad in the United States. Since the IMDB is an American website it's gone with the American release title.
I think it sets a bad precedent. I would prefer Bond titles not to be sloppy seconds, especially since No Time to Die has already been used as the title of two movies and a Columbo episode--that shows how generic it is. And if they're going to start naming Bond films after non-Bondian Broccoli/Young/Maibaum productions, will Bond 26 be called Zarak?
A title I've always liked that might be controversial is James Bond of the Secret Service. It was the original title of the Fleming/Mcclory script that eventually became TB, and I think Mcclory and Connery used the name again for their scrapped 70s TB remake. I know, probably sacrilige to have James Bond right there in the title. But I think it has a nice retro, pulpy feeling about it and could work for the first film of a new actor.
There are still plenty of good chapter titles left, though agree about Quantum. I don't mind if they decide to use a good original title instead, but that's not what we got.
