Locations in No Time To Die
Jamaica
No Time To Die kicks off with Bond in Jamaica, where he is living a life of retirement. Jamaica is a picturesque exotic location and is known for its beautiful beaches and laid-back lifestyle. Japan is no stranger to the James Bond franchise, having featured twice before in Dr. No (1962) and You Only Live Twice (1967). Its Caribbean culture and breathtaking sunsets are sure to set the tone for the movie.
London
London is the home of MI6, so it was always going to feature in No Time To Die. Bond soon returns home from his retirement in Jamaica to tackle a mission from M (Ralph Fiennes). Our First Look at London in the movie is at a fencing club, where Bond will likely face off against an old friend.
Matera, Italy
Matera is a small Italian city situated in the region of Basilicata. It’s renowned for its ancient architecture, which dates back to prehistoric times. Locations like the Sassi di Matera – an ancient area of cave dwellings – provided the perfect backdrop for a secret meeting between Bond and his old nemesis, Safin (Rami Malek).
