It's going to be Double-0-Heaven for James Bond films with announcements coming fast and furious in the lead-up to the release of "No Time to Die". Here is the latest announcement:
Leica Announces Bond Partnership
007
Edition camera and exhibition to celebrate new film
Leica Camera has
announced a new Leica Q2 ‘007 Edition’ to celebrate the release of No Time
To Die. Limited to 250 pieces only, the special edition Leica Q2 features
the iconic 007 logo on the top plate and the famous Bond gun barrel design on
the lens cap. Each limited-edition camera will be individually numbered and
comes in a customised and handcrafted case designed by the British luxury
suitcase brand Globe-Trotter.
The concept of a
Leica x 007 partnership began with producer Michael G. Wilson. Wilson is a
leading expert on 19th century photography and founded The Wilson Centre for
Photography, his passion for photography provided the natural spark for the
collaboration. In No Time To Die, Leica worked with the 007 production
team to display Leica cameras on the sets of Bond’s Jamaican home, and
fittingly the ‘Leica Q2’ in Q’s home in London. Off-screen, Michael G. Wilson
has curated an exclusive photography exhibition featuring behind-the-scenes
photographs shot on Leica cameras by Michael G. Wilson, Daniel Craig, and No
Time To Die photographers Nicola Dove and Greg Williams.
The Leica Q2 ‘007
Edition’ will launch on September 9, 2021 at the official opening of Leica
Gallery London’s exhibition: No Time To Die – Behind the Scenes.
The Leica Q2 ‘007
Edition’ will be available to purchase online and in-store.
See No Time To Die
in cinemas from September 30.
