The latest James Bond movie’s pandemic-related delays are reportedly causing problems for its marketing deals, with advertisers concerned that the film may end up featuring outdated product placements, The Sun is reporting. The 25th Bond film, No Time To Die, is currently due to release in cinemas on October 8th, over a year after it was originally meant to release.

“Some of those things were the very latest models back when they started filming” a source told The Sun, “but by the time the movie 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 isn’t really the point of these deals.”

Although the film will reportedly feature Omega watches, Bollinger champagne, and Adidas footwear, it seems likely that HMD Global’s Nokia phones are at risk of dating most quickly. HMD Global announced last year that the film would include its Nokia 8.3 5G from last year, and TechRadar reports that the film is also set to include the Nokia 7.2, which was first released in 2019.

The Sun reports that the movie could face reshoots to hide its outdated products, and quotes a source as saying that some scenes may be “carefully edited.”




Brands are the real victims of the pandemic

Are you still paying alimony to your cousin?

I was beginning to worry about our li'l peesker. Good to see that he is minding the store. I'd really be most worried about the cell phones. When people can count on Mary Worth to be using the more up to date cell phone than 007, well, that's the sort of world where Donald Trump has been in charge of profiting off a pandemic.

cyberbullies have created such a hostile posting environment that I'm scared to post here anymore

you can see that by the first response to my topic being a completely made up off-topic incestophobic post intended solely to hurt my feelings

the current Mary Worth arc is weird

it's like they wanted to do a domestic abuse arc but that might be too intense so they're doing the funniest way they could do it where her husband is tripping her

(which would not be funny in irl life it's a serious issue) but why did the writer choose to make it about tripping

I have some hot cousins. In California, it is legal to marry cousins, including first cousins. In such cases, spousal support keeps it all in the family.

I used to, but they got old, and now they aren't so hot any more. I bet I'm not looking terribly good to them, these days, either. Oh well. Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse. Or live for over half a century and get old and ugly... Hmmm... Which to choose?

eta: i guess it's a bit late to choose the 'die young' option. i guess i'm just going to have to keep getting older and uglier.

I thought getting ugly was what the beer was for.

No, beer hides the ugly. Or at least makes it so you don't care, anymore.

Yeah. That was my point.
