No Time to Die could go into reshoots for latest gadgets involvement

According to the latest news by The Sun, No Time to Die makers could be forced to have reshoots to save product placement deals caused by the delays. Many brands promote their products by featuring them in a project which also helps to finance the expensive productions. James Bond has been an iconic display for top gadgets across decades and a few were used in the upcoming film, too. But as the movie has been postponed multiple times, the products which were brand new at that time will not have much value and the companies want their latest gadget in the film.

The report reveals that the details of the gadgets and things are all kept tightly under wraps, but everyone knows that James Bond always carries the latest kit with him. The problem is that some of those things were the very latest models back when the No Time to Die shooting started. But by the time the film comes out now, it will look like Daniel Craig and all of the other cast members are carrying something that has been out for ages. That is not really the point of these deals. The big tech firms want the stars to have all the new up-and-coming products to help promote them and sell them to fans. It means some of the scenes are going to have to be “very carefully edited” and looked at to bring things up to date.
