NTTD segment scheduled for Entertainment Tonight?

No Time to Die teaser poster

UPDATE (Oct. 22): Entertainment Tonight talked to Naomie Harris who was promoting another movie. She said women characters drive the plot in No Time to Die more than they ever have in a Bond movie. That’s it.

Thanks to Jack Lugo and reader @RNKFanArt on Twitter. I was recording an episode of the Spybrary podcast about U.N.C.L.E. and couldn’t check it out.

ORIGINAL POST (Oct. 21): Late Monday night, there were advisories concerning the Oct. 22 telecast of Entertainment Tonight. One of the featuers was listed as “the next James Bond movie.”

The James Bond MI6 website tweeted out an image of the advisory.

There’s not much to go on. Could it be a first look at the teaser trailer? Could it be a short segment about the 25th James Bond film made by Eon Productions?

There is no way to know. Entertainment Tonight is an established television show (e.g. it’s not a British tabloid). Presumably, it wouldn’t include a reference to No Time to Die as a gag.

Whatever. An Entertainment Tonight segment wouldn’t be revealing. But it may have more than fans know now.

Here’s a look at the MI6 James Bond tweet.

Lazenby returns in an audio spy adventure

Passport to Oblivion Cover

George Lazenby, the one-time film James Bond, is returning to the espionage genre.

Lazenby stars as Dr. Jason Love in an audio adaptation of author James Leasor’s Passport to Oblivion. The adapation is part of a two-disc set selling for 14.99 British pounds.

Some details from a press release:

An audio spy adventure based on a series of internationally bestselling books (published in 19 languages) by James Leasor, ‘Passport to Oblivion’ features an all-star cast that also includes Glynis Barber, Nickolas Grace, Michael Brandon and Terence Stamp as ‘C’ the Head of MI6.

‘Passport to Oblivion’ is the first of 10 planned audio recordings by award-winning Spiteful Puppet and based on books first published in the 1960s. The novels, which sold in their millions, have a worldwide fan base. This is the first time they have been adapted as audio dramas.

Spiteful Puppet have been granted the license for all 10 of James Leasor’s Dr. Jason Love books. ‘Passport to Oblivion’ (2-disc audio set) will be released 29 November 2019.

‘Passport to Oblivion’, set in 1964, has astonishing parallels with today’s allegations of Russian interference in politics of the West, unrest in the Middle East, and seems very fresh and relevant.

Lazenby, 80, played James Bond in 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Passport to Oblivion previously was adapted as the 1966 movie Where the Spies Are, with David Niven as Dr. Jason Love.
