No Time To Die Trailer Recaps Daniel Craig’s Entire Era




A newly released international trailer for Daniel Craig’s hotly-anticipated final outing as James Bond, No Time to Die, recaps the star’s acclaimed reign as 007. The upcoming film is Craig's fifth feature film as Bond, and comes 14 years after the actor made his debut as 007 in 2006's Casino Royale. Originally set to hit theaters back in April, No Time to Die was one of several major film releases pushed back by the coronavirus pandemic. The new film is now set to hit theaters on November 12th in the UK, and November 20th in North America.

With No Time To Die finally almost here, it’s a perfect time to look back on the Daniel Craig era of 007 – one that saw the franchise revitalized, modernized, and raised to critical peaks it hadn’t seen since its Sean Connery days. Despite Craig’s own love/hate relationship with the series and its titular character, and the more lukewarm receptions to both Quantum of Solace and Spectre, the modern Bond films have become beloved cultural staples. As a result, watching No Time to Die will no doubt be a bittersweet experience for Bond fans, as it marks Craig's last film as 007.

A new trailer for No Time to Die was posted earlier today by UIP Thailand, a partner of Paramount Pictures and Universal, and features a montage of scenes from every Craig-led Bond film, starting with Casino Royale and going all the way through No Time to Die. The trailer doesn't just focus on Craig's Bond either, but also the many villains and supporting players he's run across throughout his tenure as well. Check out the trailer below:

The trailer is a fun and stylish look back at how far Craig's 007 has come since Casino Royale, and effectively hypes up No Time to Die as the actor's final turn in the role. It's understandable that the No Time to Die marketing is placing so much focus on the film being Craig's last as Bond too, considering just how beloved his take on the character has become. Whether he likes it or not, Craig has redefined the character perhaps more powerfully than any actor since Sean Connery, and No Time to Die is shaping up to be an appropriately epic farewell for the actor.

The legacy of Craig's Bond is on the minds of most fans right now, with talks of who will take on the role after Craig remaining a constant point of discussion. Many fans feel it’s time a non-white actor took a turn as 007, and there are a number of excellent actors in the conversation who could bring something new and exciting to the decades-old role. But whatever the next generation of Bond films looks like, those involved would do well to try and find an identity for the films different from those of the Craig era. Casino Royale and Skyfall achieved critical claim in large part because of their willingness to do new things with the franchise and change up the formula, and whoever works on Bond next should adopt the same mentality. But before any of that happens, Craig's run still needs to reach its conclusion, and Bond fans still need to see if No Time to Die is, indeed, the fitting send-off that Craig's Bond so deserves.

A Look at 12 of the Worlds Most Expensive Colleges

  “College is the best time of your life. When else are your parents going to spend several thousand dollars a year just for you to go to a strange town and get drunk every night?” —  David Wood Engineering remains the in demand degree across the employment spectrum and students have many colleges and universities from which to choose. How will students choose which to attend? Some will compare the achievements of former graduates. Others will examine course work and curricular pros and cons. Then there are those who compare costs and will only study at the best, meaning only the most expensive engineering program will do. “Education is the most powerful weapon which to use to change the world.” –  Nelson Mandela The new generation of college students want to change the world. They want to make a difference in their communities and make money while doing it. Working just to earn money takes a backseat to finding a career that is fun, fulfilling and meanin...

Explained: Can US President Donald Trump pardon himself?

  With Donald Trump’s presidency entering its final weeks, the former businessman and television personality is expected to make full use of the outgoing presidential tradition of granting pardons. Some fear that the US President will wield his expansive power to pardon some of his closest aides, family members and maybe even himself. Trump — who faces a host of legal challenges, including multiple lawsuits and fraud allegations — will no longer have the extensive legal protections of the presidency once he formally exits the White House on January 20. Possibly pre-empting these legal issues, Trump has been asking aides whether he can self-pardon since 2017, according to a CNN report. In fact, an official told the news network that Trump was “obsessed with the power of pardons”. How does the presidential pardon work? All modern presidents of the United States have the constitutional right to pardon or commute the s...
