Yeah. That's the closest typeface I have seen to what NTTD is using.

Now start the "Jack Jones is singing the new Bond theme" rumors.  ajb007/lol

Waiting for the youtube mashup videos.

Re: No Time To Die

So, this title I think is an inspired choice! Much better than all the speculated options, I love the style of the initial reveal logo, VERY Bond and something different and...... I’m sure I’m putting my neck out on this one but I think this is got to be the best title for Craig BAR Casino Royale.

Just my thought but very positive and a lovely and welcome surprise for an otherwise boring Tuesday  ajb007/lol

BIG like from my camp  ajb007/martini

Haha, excellent call.

I like the typeface -- the blockiness reminded me of the old United Artists "UA" logo that rotated toward the camera.  I think my old copies of OHMSS and DAF have it.  ajb007/smile

Buuuuuuut...the title itself is a real snoozer.  Another one with "Die"?  Ugh.

Hilly...you old devil!

Re: No Time To Die

"No time to die" is a bit generic, bit it's better than most rumoured titles. I also like that it's a long title and a non-generic and distinctive font  ajb007/bond

It would be great if Paul Williams wrote the lyrics!

Generic title. Disappointing.

Agreed. No Time to Die is a bland garbage. It's profoundly unoriginal--this is the fourth time a Bond film has used "Die" in the title. Furthermore, No Time to Die has already been used as the title of two films and a Columbo episode (one of the worst in the series by the way). Lastly, it sounds like fanfiction Bond, not the real thing. As someone wrote on Facebook, it sounds like the product of a Bond title generator. After five years, is this really the best the filmmakers could come up with?

Re: No Time To Die

I don't mind the title, and the graphics remind me of Dr No for some reason. Is that the David Arnold music again.

It was either that.....or the priesthood

Re: No Time To Die

It's a safe, generic title that will work as the hook or refrain in a pop song.  In fact, it reminds me of the theme song for Quantum of Solace (and could be worked into the rejected one by Shirley Bassey, too.)  Nothing inspiring or particularly creative.  It could be a video game or a parody title.  I hope they didn't pay Phoebe Whatever-Her-Name-Is a huge fee to come up with it.

I hope he's back for the whole score this time, I know they use Arnold's arrangement for the gunbarrel.

Sadly, no. Dan Romer is doing the score.

Sadly Fukunaga is using his guy. They use Arnold's arrangement for the end titles. I don't believe he did Spectre's gun barrel.

Re: No Time To Die

Dan Romer could be interesting, though it's difficult to say as to my ear his scores are very eclectic and I can't spot a signature so to speak.

Re: No Time To Die

I'm disappointed.

Live and Let Die was fine, but Die Another Day, Tomorrow Never Dies...c'mon, this is boring as hell. Doesn't create any excitement whatsoever.

Re: No Time To Die

I think it's high time JBR returns from "retirement". I'm sure they have good reasons for not posting any videos for a long time, but a lot has happened since then and I'm curious about their take on it.

Agree its bland and Bond  by numbers. At least its not as dull as Spectre or as metaphysical as QOS. 5 out of 10 for me but im not that hung up on the title anyway.

Re: No Time To Die

Almost as generic as "Tomorrow Never Dies", to me but I'd be lying if I said both don't have a nice ring to them.
Considering Spectre or Quantum of Solace were titles in his tenure, I like this one, personally.
At least this one stands on its own.

a reasonable rate of return

Re: No Time To Die

Both the title and the font will make NTTD stand out in the crowd of action movies next year. Good or bad, most people will think Bond when they hear No Time to Die. MI, Fast and Furious and other action francises don't use titles like that.
But among the Bond titles it'll rank as an average or even a little below average title, unlike the font that I think is one of the better ones.

Re: No Time To Die

Just thinking through all 25 bond titles, I think this one might actually be the worst ajb007/crap I mean, not terrible or anything, but just boring. I've been trying to get used to it, but this title adds nothing new whatsoever. It's basically DAD V2.

Ok, I'm grateful and relieved that it's not "007" or "Bond" or whatever. So yeah, at least this is an actual title. But it's just boring.

And for those saying that it's one of the best compared to the rumoured titles.... I actually disagree. It's better than Genoma Of A Woman, but I would put Eclipse, Shatterhand, and A Reason To Die all above it. In fact, it's very similar to A Reason To Die, but even less unique. I dunno, 5 years for this?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we FINALLY have a title. But to me, it is a disappointing one for sure.

3 random thoughts:
1 - I wonder if this is the name of Ed Sheeran's already-written bond song lol, and that's why they're using this title.
2 - Is the word "No" a clue to Dr No returning?
3 - Is this a tribute to the blade runner villain who died recently? (on the film he says "Time to die").

The graphic design is very contemporary and now, and I can't think of many other films that look that stylish with their typography.

Re: No Time To Die

Well that was a surprise! Title release on some random Tuesday—they really caught us off guard!

Anyway, I'm quite a fan of it! Easily recognisable as a Bond type title which is great and doesn't give anything away about the film itself.
