New James Bond film cancelled after cameraman forgot to press record

James Bond film

The latest James Bond film has been cancelled after the discovery that a cameraman forgot to press record during key scenes.

No Time to Die has been beset by problems throughout its production including injury to star Daniel Craig, a change of director, the villain’s lair under a volcano flooding with lava, a biblical plague of toads, minor earthquake, alien abduction, and someone losing their keys.

“We were just sorting through the footage in preparation for editing and there was stuff missing,” explained director Cary Fukunaga as a small meteor landed on his car.

“Bond doing stunts, a bit with Bond getting off with a sexy lady, another bit with Bond getting off with a sexy lady, Bond doing stunts whilst getting off with a sexy lady – they just weren’t there.

“So, we went back to the cameraman and he confessed that he’d forgotten to press record on the camera during key scenes.

“The cameraman was really sorry and everything and even offered to come back and help reshoot the scenes but he was suffering from a really nasty plague of boils so we’d have to wait until after that cleared up.”

Ultimately, producers decided that it simply wasn’t worth it and the best option now would be to simply cancel the whole thing and move on to the next film instead.

“I think it’s the right idea, and I’m really looking forward to starting work on the new movie,” agreed Fukunaga.

“Apparently, we’re shooting in that studio that was built on top of an old Indian burial ground.

“So, I’m sure that will all be fine.”

  1. NO TIME TO DIE CANCELLED? FOR REAL? I’M AN AVID FAN OF THE BOND FRANCHISE AND LOVE DANIEL CRAIG’S VERSION. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHAT A SHAME TO END SUCH A PASSIONATE AND DOWN TO EARTH PORTRAYAL OF THE SUPERSLEUTH 007. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT THIS NOT SO SURPRISING FILM DEMISE IS OF CRAIG’S OWN MAKING. APPARENTLY, HE WAS SO VOCAL OF NOT DOING BOND ANYMORE BUT THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK, SO TO SPEAK IS HIS ADAMANT REFUSAL TO DO A DIRECTORIAL JOB ON FUTURE BOND FILMS. AS WE CAN RECALL, NO LESS THAN MS. BROCCOLI HERSELF EXPRESSED HER ARDENT DESIRE TO INVOLVE CRAIG IN FUTURE BOND PROJECTS. YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

  2. Done for fun?! Showing news that is not the Truth is irresponsible and should be censored! Nowadays, people are simply too reactive, sensitive, and gullible. Who claims responsibility, were some sponsor’s rep to read only part of this, then proceed to jump off a bridge–NEVER seeing that the story was, in fact, a phoney? Society should demand a reinstatement of the nation’s Psychiatric Hospital Network!

  3. I’m amazed how people can read the second paragraph of this article and still believe it’s real until it’s specified that it’s a joke at the end of it.Seriously guys?
