The producers of the 25th entry in the Bond franchise, No Time To Die, reveal that they had a mock-up script written to avoid ruining the film's ending. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, No Time To Die saw Daniel Craig return for his fifth and final outing as iconic superspy James Bond.
The story of No Time To Die focuses on Craig's 007 after he quits active service with MI6 to live a peaceful life in Jamaica. However, his tranquility is short-lived, as an old friend from the CIA comes knocking on his door and asking for help to retrieve a kidnapped scientist. The mission takes Bond on a treacherous path which eventually leads to a showdown with a powerful enemy in possession of dangerous new biotechnology.
"We're very confidential with our scripts, but we have to produce scripts for the crew, obviously, and for other people that have to be aware of what we're doing. So we basically had an alternative version where we just removed or rewrote the ending, that would be a decoy." No Time To Die's final stretch in the third act saw Bond and Nomi infiltrate Safin's headquarters on an island where he was keeping Madeleine Swann and Mathilde captive. While Bond was able to save the duo and help them escape the island, he was ambushed by Safin, who shot him several times and infected him with nanobots programmed to kill Madeleine and Mathilde.
The lengths that the producers had to go to in keeping the script hidden away are quite understandable, as No Time To Die became the first Bond film to kill off its charismatic lead character. The film continued the ongoing trend of Craig's era of 007 films by breaking classic Bond conventions in yet another unexpected way, with many viewers and Craig himself rightly calling it a satisfying conclusion to his time as the celebrated spy.
Anyone going into this movie not expecting the outcome it had is out of their mind
