Music Video For No Time To Die Theme Released

Posted by

Five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Billie Eilish has today revealed the official music video for ‘No Time To Die,’ the original song written for the 25th James Bond film.

Directed by Daniel Kleinman, the visual interweaves footage of Billie Eilish with scenes taken from No Time To Die.

The song is out via Darkroom/Interscope Records and was produced by Billie’s brother; fellow multi GRAMMY® Award-winning FINNEAS alongside Stephen Lipson, with orchestral arrangements by Hans Zimmer and Matt Dunkley, and guitar from Johnny Marr. 18-year-old Eilish is officially the youngest artist in history to both write and record a James Bond theme song.

Speaking on Billie Eilish and FINNEAS’ involvement in the film’s title track, producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: “Billie and Finneas have written an incredibly powerful and moving song for No Time To Die, which has been impeccably crafted to work within the emotional story of the film.”

Billie Eilish said: “It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour.”

FINNEAS adds, “writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we’ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of Goldfinger and Live And Let Die. We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007.”

The film’s director Cary Joji Fukunaga shared, “there are chosen few who record a Bond theme. I am a huge fan of Billie and Finneas. Their creative integrity and talent are second to none.”

007 Limited Edition Blackwell Rum

Posted by

In celebration of No Time To Die’s November 2020 release, Chris Blackwell – the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and owner of Ian Fleming’s former residence, GoldenEye – is launching a special 007 Limited Edition release of his Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum.

The limited edition Rum features an augmented reality experience available via a QR code on the bottle, where Blackwell, who is best known for discovering Bob Marley, comes to life to share life stories, music selections, cocktail recipes and more.

“James Bond has been a big part of my life, from my childhood lunches with Ian Fleming at GoldenEye to being a location scout on the first movie, Dr. No (1962). It was a pleasure working alongside the No Time To Die production team in Jamaica providing our iconic rum for the set in James Bond’s house, which has made this very special relationship come full circle,” says Blackwell.

The Fine Jamaican Rum is inspired by his family’s time-honoured recipe. This aged, rich and fragrant dark gold rum is filled with the warmth and sensuality of Jamaica.  “This is a rum that celebrates Jamaica, my friendships, and also my family legacy,” adds Blackwell.

The 007 Limited Edition Rum goes on sale in November.

The Bollinger lettering and logos are depicted in gold and the iconic Special Cuvée bottle has been adapted to feature a black and gold neck collar with a 007 blazon.

Champagne Bollinger worked with celebrated photographer Greg Williams, for the soon to be released Special Cuvée 007 Limited Edition campaign, featuring his signature cinematic style that also appears in the No Time To Die campaign.

Crockett & Jones Limited Edition 007 Shoe

Posted by

Shoemaker Crockett & Jones have announced an exclusive collaboration with EON Productions to celebrate the forthcoming release of No Time To Die. Made from the finest box calf and featuring a signature Hand Grade leather sole, ‘JAMES’ is a 007 limited edition shoe inspired by Bond’s iconic tuxedo.

“The tuxedo is the most iconic of the James Bond wardrobe looks,” says No Time To Die’s costume designer, Suttirat Anne Larlarb, “and the finishing touch to the tuxedo is, of course, the right pair of shoes. A shoe will finish off any look and make it perfect from a visual standpoint.”

The JAMES shoe is crafted from the smallest skins with the tightest break, all sourced from the finest European tanneries. The black box calf perfectly highlights the contours of Last 348, a classic, chiselled form and arguably the most innovative last from a generation of shoemakers. JAMES pays homage to Crockett & Jones’s world-renowned wholecut Oxford (as featured in both Skyfall and Spectre) and to celebrate the release of No Time To Die, Crockett & Jones has embellished the shoe’s every specification by applying its highest grade of shoemaking. Fully leather lined, JAMES features an all-black interior with silver foiled logo and is presented in an exclusive 007 packaging with a chrome shoe horn, shoe brush and a pair of fully lasted, hand-made shoe trees, all embossed with the iconic 007 logo.

Working closely with the 007 film makers Crockett & Jones supplied two further styles to the production. James Bond wears the timeless HIGHBURY in a number of key scenes during No Time To Die and MOLTON when the story takes Bond to Norway.

“Bond is known for his perfectly elegant comportment in all situations and in No Time To Die, Crockett & Jones’s shoes are very much a part of that equation,” continues Larlarb.

The multi-award-winning costume designer notes that Crockett & Jones’s premiere lasts provided an impeccable platform from which to work.

“What separates a good custom make from a perfect one is a question of having the time to achieve that perfection,” she explains, “and we were steps ahead with Crockett & Jones’s already perfect lasts. They were able to provide for us exactly what we needed and without a hitch. Working with Crockett & Jones to achieve the custom shoes we required for No Time To Die was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.”

JAMES will be available from 9th October and has a retail price of £850.

New Safin Mask Keyring And Magnet

Who is Safin the mysterious man behind the mask? You’ll have to wait until November to find out but until then discover Safin’s mask as both a keyring and a magnet at 007Store. Both are exclusive to 007Store and are a limited availability first production run.

No Time To Die Costume Designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb on the inspiration behind the mask worn by Rami Malek in the film: “We started from an initial piece of visual reference of a Japanese Noh mask because of its pure, expressionless, clean look. We wanted to remove anything that felt like an expressive human detail while remaining true to a human face – so the mask could reside somewhere between inhuman, artificial and a serene stare.”
