The official trailer of ‘No Time to Die‘ is finally out. And in its opening sequence takes place in Matera, the 2019 European Capital of Culture, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. Currently in the post-production phase, the movie, directed by Cary Fukunaga, has a release date of 8 April 2020. But the stunning scenery of the Sassi di Matera.
In the 25th movie about agent 007, Bond comes out of retirement after his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA seeks his help. This leads him onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. For the 5th and final time, Her Majesty’s secret agent is interpreted by Daniel Craig, who in the previous one had worked with director Danny Boyle. In ‘No Time To Die‘ we meet the next 007 that will be a woman, the actress of Jamaican origin Lashana Lynch.
Filming began in Matera in April of this year, with scenes shot in the city’s historic center as well as its ancient ‘S_assi’_, the UNESCO-protected cave dwellings.
The stunning Sassi di Matera consist of a labyrinth of cave dwellings, churches, and monasteries dating back over 9000 years.
They are divided into the districts of Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano and are one of the oldest living cities in the world. Moreover, with its crown of honey-stoned houses perched above a ravine, Matera can boast a unique landscape. The town’s mayor Raffaello De Ruggieri told The Times that the 400-strong crew, plus extras, and an increase in tourism could boost the local economy by 12 million euros ($13.3 million).
