Welcome to the March edition of the newsletter!  Before we get on to No Time to Die news, you know that sweater Daniel Craig wears in the poster? 

Well it's now available to buy.

N Peal’s partnership with 007 continues in James Bond’s latest on-screen adventure with a uniquely created military style sweater in navy.  This unisex sweater was designed in conjunction with costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb and modelled on the British military’s “woolly pully” which originated during World War 2. 

No Time to Die

Last month saw the highly anticipated release of Billie Eilish’s theme song for No Time to Die. Soon after a new video featuring the theme song was released on the official 007 website. As well as footage from the trailers it has some new material.

Billie Eilish performed her theme song for No Time to Die at the Brit Awards. She was accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr on guitar.  

Zimmer’s soundtrack for the new Bond film will be released days before the London premiere. Decca Records, in collaboration with Hans Zimmer, will release the official No Time to Die soundtrack on 27 March. Joining Hans Zimmer on scoring the soundtrack is Johnny Marr who is also the featured guitarist and composer Steve Mazzaro.

Two new new posters for the forthcoming James Bond movie were released with the same design but varying in dimensions. 

Watch this short video video feature in which Cary Joji Fukunaga discusses the making of No Time to Die, including his work with Daniel Craig.
