No Time to Die will be re-released in IMAX to celebrate 60th anniversary of James Bond

The James Bond franchise is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and to kick things off, Deadline has reported that MGM and EON are re-releasing No Time to Die in IMAX nationwide on January 21st. So if you missed your chance seeing the film the first time around and are able to head to an IMAX theater, this is your moment.

Select IMAX screenings of No Time to Die will also include an exclusive Q&A event with Daniel Craig, director Cary Joji Fukunaga, and producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. No Time to Die was the first James Bond film to be shot with IMAX cameras, so it should be quite the show. MGM also created a new 60th anniversary logo that will debut ahead of the IMAX screenings, which you can see below.

“No Time To Die, which was the only movie released last year to have sequences shot with Imax Film Cameras, captured the attention of both critics and audiences alike when it was first released globally in theaters last fall, eventually becoming one of the biggest films of 2021,” said MGM’s Motion Picture Chairman Michael De Luca. “What better way to celebrate 007 turning 60 than to offer fans an opportunity to experience the film again in the most immersive theatrical environment.” No Time to Die director Cary Joji Fukunaga added:

Shooting on 15 perf – Imax film is the pinnacle of large format filmmaking – there is nothing out there to compare it to, not even the highest resolution digital cameras can render the color detail and breadth of those massive negative frames; I was excited beyond belief to be the first Bond director to work with these cameras and honored we could give Daniel’s 5th Bond the sendoff he deserved, and audiences the maximum theatrical ride.

No Time to Die was originally supposed to be released in April 2020 but experienced more than a few delays due to COVID-19 before it finally hit U.S. theaters last October. Despite the pandemic keeping some members of the audience away, the film still went on to gross $774 million worldwide, making it one of the highest grossing films of the year. Despite that, there have still been reports that the film needed to make a lot more in order to turn a profit. Will you be heading back to theaters to check out No Time to Die in IMAX?
