LONDON: The latest James Bond movie gets its world premiere next week, nearly six years after the last film in the storied franchise and an 18-month delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic. "The film is a celebration of Bond -- the 25th film and almost 60 years and, most importantly, Daniel Craig's final outing. The last Bond movie "Spectre" -- released in late 2015 -- set box office records for a 2D film in China, and grossed more than $880 million worldwide, according to movie industry magazines. "No Time To Die" sees Bond drawn out of retirement in Jamaica by his old friend and CIA agent Felix Leiter. However, he made headlines in 2015 by saying he would "rather slash my wrists" than play 007 again.
