The Covid-19 delayed No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond, is set for release this November – a more traditional slot for the franchise than the previous April 2020 date.
Whilst expectations for the picture may not be quite as high as expected due to the disappointing reception given to 2015’s Spectre, there’s little doubt that Bond fans will be out in force – social distancing permitting.
Although we tend to think of Ian Fleming’s character as a unique creation, that hasn’t stopped filmmakers trying to get a piece of the action over the years.
Some have proved successful, but many others have fallen by the wayside.
Let’s take a look at a few, starting with the new releases and then harking back to the old classics:
Tenet (2020) – UK release 12/08/20
Christopher Nolan’s long-gestating time-manipulation spy thriller has had fans salivating, as plot details carefully been kept underwraps.
John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman) stars as an agent of spy agency Tenet attempting to prevent WWIII.
