James Bond: No Time to Die – Cinemas Nationwide

James Bond is finally being released to cinemas on the 30th September 2021 – it’s been a long time coming and we are thoroughly excited! No Time to Die will be the 25th film released of the James Bond series, and it will also be the final film for Daniel Craig. There has been a buzz about this film for the last few years – especially since we found out that Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a key role in the writing of the screen play. We find out what happens five years after the capture of Ernst Blofield. Bond has left active service but is approached by his friend and CIA officer, Felix Leiter for his help in finding a missing scientist. We can’t wait for this!

We loved it!
