  • Hollywood is the oldest film industry in the world, originating in 1890s. The first pictures were less than a minute long and sound was only introduced in 1927. Hollywood is considered the 'film factory' of the world and reports its products to most countries
  • The first Bond film was released in 1962
  • 5 stages of film production:
    1. Development
    2. Pre-production
    3. Production
    4. Post-production
    5. Distribution
  • The James Bond series is produced by EON Productions. It is the first Bond film to be distributed by Universal Pictures, which acquired the rights following the expiration of Sony Pictures' contract after Spectre's release in 2015.
  • Bond has always been well known for its exotic locations across the globe and No Time To Die used locations such as Italy, Jamaica, Norway and the Faroe Islands.
  • Film and video releases in Britain are amongst the most tightly regulated in the Western world
  • Age restrictions are placed on all commercially released films by the BBFC and are expected to follow the guidelines
  • To secure a wide audience, No time to Die had a 12A UK rating for its cinematic release and a 12 for its physical media and VOD/streaming release
  • The long-running Bond franchise has an established fan base and No Time To Die, a US/UK co-production received global distribution to reach a mass audience
  • No Time To Die is intended for mainstream audiences and has great commercial appeal
  • Bond as a character has is iconic and has universal appeal - he is skilled, charming, good-looking and arguably with Craig's version of the character, more depth
  • The narratives of the film provide familiarity and comfort (bad guy does something wrong and good guy catches him and saved the day) which reinforces dominant messages and values about 'good', 'bad', 'duty' and 'loyalty'
  • No Time To Day can be seen as making an effort to appeal to a more contemporary audience that is less likely to tolerate the flimsy gender and racial stereotypes of past Bond films.
  • Producers hire Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the second-ever female scriptwriter on a Bond film to develop the female characters and make their dialogue and characterisation more convincing. However, the specialised audience of core Bond fans are still reached using nostalgia and typical narrative conventions
