Top marks to EON Productions, director Cary Fukunaga and the branding team for taking Bond forward into his Double-O Seventh decade with a knowingly vintage zeal, a deliberately indefinite swagger, a historical relevance and a fledgling title that now shares the shelves of movie history with some of the most famous movie epithets of all time. There is already a pulpy 1970s airport novel mixed with a 1966 jukebox visual note to this graphical unveiling that is not remotely wrong for Bond and a bit of bold retro thinking is no bad thing.

Various albums, books, TV shows, biographies, Bond actress merchandise, Sonny & Chers, Magic Mikes and even Bond publications have used the typography before. Designed in 1927, Futura Black has – like 007 – a long history of usage in popular culture. The poster font itself is certainly a curious detail.

It proved a valuable training ground for Cubby Broccoli when finally taking on the Bond series with Harry Saltzman merely a couple or so years later and its use again here is an astute tribute. Re-titled Tank Force! in the US, Cubby’s film starred Victor Mature, Goldfinger song writer Anthony Newley, stunt man Bob Simmons and Thunderball‘s Luciana Paluzzi. Broccoli, written by Bond scribe Richard Maibaum, photographed by early Bond cinematographer Ted Moore and directed by the first 007 director Terence Young firmly in mind, the twenty-fifth bullet from EON Productions knows EXACTLY its heritage and historical resonance for our man James – it was the title of a 1958 Warwick Films production. Yet, there is a greater resonance to this title for 007 and the House of Bond. It appears that ‘die’ and ‘kill’ are the must-have title ingredients for each Bond’s final outing. Sharp, perfectly vague and an open gift to all title song performers this side of the Academy Awards, NO TIME TO DIE will be the marquee name of Daniel Craig’s fifth spin of the 007 dice and not be the endnote suggestion as always touted by the press and social media, but a wilfully open-ended moniker that does as all Bond titles should – shout from the movie theatre roofs that not Bond is not only back, he will return. With a retro-minded military font brilliantly screaming dog-eared Len Deighton paperback novels covered in vacation sand and a blunter, harder edged typography more in keeping with 007 himself (or herself), NO TIME TO DIE pushes the masculine drives of our man James and proves the multitude of titles were merely the property of a maybe.
So far, the last two elements are still missing, but some new information just might give fans insight into the direction that MGM and Universal are going.After much speculation, cold leads, even colder rumours, baseless nonsense and pure fictions masquerading as headlines, EON Productions finally pull back the silk sheets to reveal the real title to their twenty-fifth bullet – NO TIME TO DIE. Next in importance is the new film’s title - a crucial element to maintaining the feel of the franchise and lastly, there’s the opening song and which artist will perform it. This bit of information has long been known to be Daniel Craig, but there was a substantial period of time prior to production of Bond 25 where exactly who would portray the suave super spy was completely up in the air.
First and foremost, of course, it’s who is going to play James Bond. Though we know that the latest entry into the 007 canon is due to hit theaters in 2020, so far fans have had to stick with the generic working title of Bond 25 when discussing the upcoming film.įor Bond fans, it’s arguable that three major components exist for each and every new release in the now 57 year old franchise. The scrapped James Bond 25 title has reportedly been revealed.
