'No Time To Die': New James Bond movie postponed to November amid global coronavirus fears

The release date for Daniel Craig's final James Bond film "No Time to Die" has been postponed until November amid the global coronavirus outbreak, USA Today reports.

The film's producers announced Wednesday that "after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace" the release would be postponed from its original April release date to Nov 12 in the UK and Nov. 25 in the US.

MGM, Universal and Bond producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli gave no further elaboration beyond the economic impact for the decision to move the film directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from its April 2 UK opening and April 10 U.S. opening.

It's the first high-profile film postponement resulting from the outbreak of the highly transmissible coronavirus.

The move also delays the comprehensive "No Time To Die" global rollout, which would have seen the cast – including Craig, Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Christoph Waltz and Naomie Harris – flying to multiple countries for fan events.

Also postponed is the March 31 world premiere gala at London's Royal Albert Hall. Bond premieres have previously featured members of the Britain's royal family meeting the cast before showing the film to a star-studded crowd of 5,000.
