James Bond bosses ‘set to RE-SHOOT meticulously in important scenes in a desperate attempt to save urgent product placement deals’ … after No Time To Die is postponed AGAIN
James Bond’s film, No Time to Die, was scheduled to be released in 2020, but has been delayed due to the pandemic.
And now the film’s bosses will have to re-shoot important scenes because the MI6 agent’s technology is out of date, it was reported on Monday.
The updates will reportedly be made on the 007 franchise in the hope of saving product placement offers from sponsors who are concerned with the evolution of their high-tech items over the course of a year.
Oh no! The heads of No Time To Die will have to redo the scenes because James Bond’s technology is now out of date due to delays in the film’s release date amid the pandemic
A source told The Sun on Monday: ‘The details of gadgets and things are kept secret, but everyone knows that James Bond always carries the latest kit with him.
‘But when the film is released now it will look like Daniel Craig and all the other cast members are carrying something that has been in the air for years. This is not really the purpose of these businesses.
“It means that some of the scenes will have to be carefully edited and examined for things to be updated.”
No Time To Die is supposed to feature a number of sponsored products, including gadgets from tech companies and cell phones provided by Nokia – with bosses who say they are eager to change the scenes in which the tech guru distributes items.

In Time To Die, Bond follows after he left active duty and is enjoying a peaceful life in Jamaica when his old friend Felix Leiter, played by CIA Jeffrey Wright, appears asking for help.
Leaving his life apparently happy with Madeleine (Lea Seydoux), Bond returns to the field to face Safin (Rami Malek), who is armed with dangerous new technology that can impact the world.
Producer Barbara Broccoli has already sparked what fans can expect and said the film will have a satisfying ending for Daniel’s Bond.
Speaking on the official James Bond podcast, she said: ‘It is the culmination of everything that your interpretation of the character has gone through and brings all the stories together. It is a very epic film, I must say. ‘
