Bond 25’s release has been pushed back almost two months to April 8, 2020, The Wrap entertainment news website said.
The change was confirmed in an announcement on the official 007 website of Eon Productions.
The Wrap’s initial story was only two paragraphs long. It provided no details nor said how it obtained the information. An updated version added some background but still had no details. The Eon announcement was only one sentence.
Bond 25’s scheduled release date had been Feb. 14, 2020.
Bond 25 had already been pushed back once. The next 007 film originally was announced as having a November 2019 release date in the United States.
The 25th James Bond film originally was to have been directed by Danny Boyle. He departed over “creative differences.” Cary Fukunaga was hired to replace Boyle.
Bond 25 will be distributed in the U.S. by United Artists Releasing, a joint venture of MGM and Annapurna Pictures. Universal is handling international distribution.
UPDATE (9:20 p.m., New York time): Perhaps a piece of the puzzle: Universal (which is distributing Bond 25 internationally) has moved Fast & Furious 9 from April 10, 2020 (the start of Easter weekend), to May 22, 2020, according to Deadline: Hollywood.
