Anyone who was looking forward to the new James Bond film will have to be patient: The premiere for "No Time To Die" has been postponed again.
This time on April 2021.
But for all the curious there are some scenes to see in advance: Singer Billie Eilish has published the video for the title song of the strip.
The 18-year-old Eilish can be seen in black and white in front of a microphone - alternating with scenes from the upcoming Bond adventure.
Most of the film clips feature Daniel Craig aka James Bond and Léa Seydoux aka Bond's beloved Madeleine Swann.
The director of the music video is Daniel Kleinmann, who has designed the famous opening credits for almost all James Bond films since "GoldenEye" (1995).
The song, a slightly dark ballad with a dramatic finale in the classic 007 sound, was written by five-time Grammy winner Eilish together with her brother Finneas.
The German film composer Hans Zimmer, who is responsible for the orchestral soundtrack of the agent thriller, and the former guitarist of The Smiths, Johnny Marr, also worked on "No Time To Die".
The clip, which the US singer put online on her YouTube channel on Thursday evening, had over 300,000 views after an hour.
The video has now been viewed more than seven million times.
The theme song was released in February.
The 25th James Bond film was originally scheduled to hit theaters in April 2020.
Due to the corona crisis, the start date was initially postponed to November 12th.
Now, six weeks before the planned premiere, it was canceled again.
For lead actor Daniel Craig it is the last assignment as secret agent 007. In addition to Craig and Seydoux, Lashana Lynch and Rami Malek star in the film by director Cary Joji Fukunaga.
