Watch Daniel Craig bow out after 15 years as 007 in the new Bond film No Time To Die.

Having left active service, James Bond (Craig) spends his retirement feeling the weight of separation from Madeleine (Léa Seydoux). His solitude is fleeting, though, when Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), an old friend from the CIA, shows up unexpectedly.

Agreeing to help Felix, Bond is thrust back into action. Reunited with M (Ralph Fiennes), Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris), Bond is also introduced to a new Double-O (Lashana Lynch) at MI6.

Joined by Paloma (Ana de Armas), Bond is led onto the trail of a mysterious, masked villain armed with dangerous technology and known only as Safin (Rami Malek). Life back in the field also forces him to confront an old foe (Christoph Waltz) who threatens to reveal a sinister secret about the buried past of Madeleine.

In his reportedly final outing as the debonair secret agent, Craig stars in the 25th instalment of the actionpacked Bond series, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge among the writers.

There are many daily screenings of No Time To Die throughout the week.

Also in the week ahead, the cinema will be hosting 30th anniversary screenings of The Silence Of The Lambs.

Thwarted in her efforts to catch a psychopathic serial killer, FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) turns to the imprisoned, dangerous and highly intelligent psychiatrist Dr Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) for unconventional assistance.

Triggering a deadly psychological game of cat-andmouse, where Lecter always seems to have the upper hand, the tension levels ratchet up as their goals become increasingly intertwined.

And the National Theatre’s bold new film version of Romeo and Juliet comes to Showcase on Monday, October 11.

The couple risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passionasviolenceeruptsaround them.

This new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way.
