More on the decision to postpone the release of the new James Bond film (see our 17:37 entry).

The film - with Daniel Craig's last outing as 007 - had been set to have its premiere in the UK on 31 March 31, before its rollout worldwide in April.

But now the studios behind the film wrote on Twitter: "MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020."

In a separate tweet, the studios said the film "will be released in the U.K. on November 12, 2020 with worldwide release dates to follow, including the US launch on November 25, 2020".

The pause comes after two James Bond fan sites had written to the studios behind the film to ask for its release to be delayed over worries that cinemas could be closed then, Reuters reports.
