Today on BBC News I heard

(don’t shoot the messenger!)

James Bond will be back in action in 2019, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Eon Productions said Monday.The 25th film about the legendary super-spy will hit theaters on Nov. 8, 2019. There’s no word yet on whether or not Daniel Craig will be cast as the role of Bond however there was mention that 1980’s front man Morrissey of The Smith had been approached with a view of taking a more modern approach to the role of Bond .

The companies said that additional details regarding the film’s distribution, including international release dates, its cast and director, will be announced at a later date. However, some insiders believe that there is a good chance the tradition Bond watch is likely to be replaced by a Fitbit watch……..

I’m In Shock!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably an apple watch hopefully at least the $3500 model

Mewski · 16 March 2018, 08:01 PM

Seriously Fitbit watch it cant be like that! :(

MonBK · 16 March 2018, 08:12 PM

Fine with me.

It's a movie for crying out loud!

The Bond franchise long ago sold its soul to corporate sponsorships and product placements to fund production. If so, it means Fitbit outbid Omega for product placement.

This. As a 007 fan, I prefer the old movies, anyway. Casino Royal was decent but everything else newer...meh

Valenciawatchrepair · 17 March 2018, 12:45 AM

Meh. oh well. Bond will probably be wearing skinny pants and sipping on some Starbucks drinks too. Goodbye for me.

BLACKHORSE 6 · 17 March 2018, 01:14 AM

Say it isn’t so!

Craig announced that he was going to do one more film. Maybe that’s changed. With the money that the last several films have made, Eon would be crazy not to bring him back.

Ruud Van Driver · 17 March 2018, 01:59 AM

Morrissey as Bond? You have more chance of finding a Daytona C at an AD and getting a discount on it. Whilst he’s way too old at 58, he would certainly be ‘modern’ alright.

RGP · 17 March 2018, 02:16 AM

Will he be trading his Aston for a Prius as well?

droptopman · 17 March 2018, 02:16 AM

Blasphemy

TurboDiesel · 17 March 2018, 02:17 AM

They need to give him back the submariner.

Wembleyisgreen · 17 March 2018, 02:31 AM

Sounds like Omega couldn't pony up the sufficient fees...

mtrunner · 17 March 2018, 02:36 AM

Times are changing I guess and it seems they are trying to appeal to the masses.

VintageVagabound · 17 March 2018, 02:41 AM

Can you post the link from BBC that you quoted? I can’t find it and I’d like to read it in context

And the studio is on the "wait list" for a SS sports model from Rolex!

bondtoys · 17 March 2018, 02:57 AM

Craig has been already confirmed for Bond 25 - thake this in context to the credibility of the whole „report“....

I will also bet that he will hand in that dangerous PPK for a non-lethal plastic so called gun. Will also quit drinking alcohol for a vegan shake. And no more punching or causing the bad guys bodily harm.

Maybe they will spend 15 min of the film showing Bond doing yoga!!!

As hilarious as this is, I would not be surprised if any of that happened. lol

And consoling the hot yoga instructor for her story that goes along with her #metoo t-shirt

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Blansky · 17 March 2018, 06:03 AM

Rolex missed the boat on this. They could have introduced a 25th Anniversary Bond Sub.

Discretely, of course. Not with a bunch of 007 junk hanging off it.

Actually I’m surprised it’s not a Hublot or a Tag.

And don't forget a safe space in case he is triggered.

Not a DC fan at all. The last film was a huge disappointment hoping that CW could carry the movie but he was handed a turd. I hope it does not turn into a Apple phone/watch/cell car/ apple martini film to appeal to y2k crowd....but im guessing it will ....if it keeps going.
At least we have cold war/ bad guy again.

AzPaul · 20 March 2018, 01:45 PM

Sean Connery wouldn't be wearing any Fit-Bit, that I'm sure of.

Rock · 20 March 2018, 04:59 PM

I am happy to have grown up in an era when the perfect Bond - Sean Connery - brought the character to life in several films that owed some similarity to the source material.
The franchise subsequently made many very mediocre films, mostly with actors that deserved better material.
I thought Daniel Craig was excellent and ushered in an era of vastly better scripts/plots. It would be nice if they could save the iWatch and the Tesla for the next guy.

RW16610 · 21 March 2018, 02:14 AM

I love these movies and it's always interesting to see what they do in regards to product placements. One would think as the film moves with the times it would be possible for one to be used as a "gadget" even though they're not really doing this so much now. I'm sure it would end up being part of a few different things / pieces the character wears. Either way, it's always a nice feeling for me when a new Bond film releases!
