Outdated Nokia smartphones lead to the postponement of the release date of the new James Bond film “No Time to Die”

HMD Global has long confirmed that Nokia smartphones will be featured in the new James Bond film No Time to Die, which was due out back in April 2019.

However, the departure of the director, and later the COVID-19 pandemic, led to the fact that the rental was postponed until April 2021. Now it became known about the next transfer, and the publication The Sun calls a rather unusual reason.

The fact is that this film advertises products of various brands, however, due to the fact that the release of the blockbuster was postponed for a couple of years, many of the technologies and products shown in the film are very outdated.

Companies that promote their new products in films want the stars to use the most promising products. This allows them to be promoted on the market and sold to fans. An insider from the film industry reports that some scenes from the film will have to be significantly redone in this regard. The film was originally supposed to have a Nokia 8.3 5G smartphone, but it came out last fall, so James Bond will have to pick up another gadget. However, it is still unknown which one.

The source adds that the promotional products featured in the film must be carefully retouched and the scenes re-shot or edited to add new products to suit the advertising brands.

The release of the tape is now expected in October 2021.
