Description:
Actor Rami Malek has sought to justify the eye-wateringly long runtime of No Time to Die.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

After spending nearly two years in pandemic-induced dormancy, No Time to Die is making up for lost time with a near-three-hour runtime and star Rami
Malek has detailed why.

In a recent interview with Digital Spy , the actor, who plays new (or old?) villain Safin, justified the movies 163-minute length by describing it as a gut punch every second."

"I think when you get out of that theater, Malek added, you will be moved,
you will be entertained, you'll get everything you want from a Bond film, essentially. Daniel's just done a marvellous job, [it's] a great send-off for him." How to watch the James Bond movies in order No, Bond isnt getting a TV show on Amazon Prime Video See the final No Time To Die trailer

Admittedly, 163 minutes is a lot of time to die. Its also a figure that will see No Time to Die dethrone Spectre which clocked in at 148 minutes long as the lengthiest Bond movie of all time.

Thankfully, though, audiences can expect a lot of bang for their buck, if Maleks comments, combined with footage weve seen from the movies various trailers , are anything to go by.

No Time to Die has been confirmed as Daniel Craigs last outing as Bond, and will follow the British super spys mission to foil the plans of a mysterious villain (Maleks Safin) armed with a new technology. Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright and Ralph Fiennes are all set to reprise their roles in the iconic franchise, while Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas join the cast as newcomers.

The film was initially scheduled to release in November 2019, before the departure of original director Danny Boyle postponed that date until April 2020. Then, of course, the global pandemic derailed the production and
release of pretty much every entertainment project in development at the
time, leaving No Time to Die adrift until, eventually, a September 28 global premiere was confirmed. Analysis: The future of the franchise

The question of Bonds future has been a hot topic of debate for many reasons.

Most obvious is the customary hysteria that ensues when its time to appoint a successor for the character. We recently picked out 10 stars who could
replace Craig in the role, including Tom Hardy, Reg-Jean Page and James Norton, but theres enough viable candidates to ensure that this particular carousel will keep spinning until Bonds custodians make a decision on the matter which isnt likely to come until No Time to Die has been given its day in the sun.

Whats more, Bonds identity as a character has proven the topic of heated discussion in recent years, too. Craig himself has thoughts on the
possibility of a woman playing Bond , for instance, while many fans have called for an actor switch-up that at least better reflects the diverse state of Britain today.

Perhaps the most pressing issue facing the franchise, though, is the impact Amazons acquisition of studio MGM will have on its future. Might we see a selection of Bond TV shows hit Prime Video in the years to come? Recent comments made by long-time franchise producer Barbara Broccoli suggest not, but we'll at least likely see the older movies become available to watch on the streamer.

In the meantime, lets just enjoy the long overdue arrival of No Time to Die, shall we? All 163 minutes of it. We pick out the best James Bond gadgets
