James Bond cancels publicity tour to China over fear of coronavirus

Published by

Publicity tour for the release of the 25th instalment of the James Bond 007 series which was to hold in Beijing, China, has been cancelled due to fear of coronavirus.

Ahead of  “No Time to Die” release in April, James Bond was to go on a publicity tour in China being one of the world’s largest film markets and a premiere was to hold in Beijing, China.

However, following the outbreak and subsequent spread of the novel coronavirus, officials in Beijing, China, have ordered everyone returning to the city to be quarantined for 14 days, thereby closing 70, 000 cinemas across the country.

A Chinese studio insider was also quoted by the news outlet as saying that cinemas in the country may remain closed until at least April and doctors may likely not allow publicity tours to go ahead.

The Times has reported that Daniel and his co-stars Ana De Armas, Lashana Lynch and Rami Malek have cancelled their upcoming tour to China.

A new trailer for ‘No Time to Die’ was released on Saturday, featuring some new scenes.

‘No Time to Die’, due for its UK release on April 3, had been projected to be the highest-grossing Bond movie but filmmakers began expressing their doubts with the cutback in Chinese revenues.

‘No Time to Die’ is produced by Eon Productions and directed by Cary Fukunaga.
