Much secrecy has surrounded the latest outing for the Bond franchise, which has taken in more than $5 billion worldwide since its debut in figures adjusted for inflation on the trade site Box Office Mojo. SPECTRE infamously stood for the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE." The title was a clear reference to the global criminal organization that Bond has battled since the first film in the series, 1962's "Dr No". In a teaser description of the plot, Sony Pictures Entertainment said in a statement: "A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. Italian actress Monica Bellucci and French actress Lea Seydoux, who shot to fame in the erotic hit "Blue is the Warmest Color", would play "Bond girls", Mendes added at a press conference at Pinewood Studios north of London. Most commentators assumed the sadistic villain of Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" would play the baddie. Austrian actor Christoph Waltz would play a leading role, Mendes added, without going into more details. Mendes unveiled a new cast and souped-up car - an Aston Martin DB 10 - but few other details about the 24th film in the series, that will see Daniel Craig return for his fourth outing as the dapper, martini-drinking agent. Spectre hits theaters November 6th, 2015.By Rollo Ross IVER HEATH, England (Reuters) - James Bond will take on a sinister organization with links to his past in the next installment of the blockbuster spy series, which star director Sam Mendes said on Thursday would be called "SPECTRE".
What say you, jxxspzders? Are you looking forward to Spectre? Do you want to see James Bond skiing like the good old days? Drop us a line in the comments. (Some of the communications from executives indicated that they had, indeed, been ironed out, and the script was being updated as recently as December.) We'll have to wait to find out more. Hopefully, if there are kinks in the script, the film has had the time to iron them out. Spectre has less than a year to go before its release and it's only been filming for little over a month. Then again, maybe I'm just biased, because I would very much like to see what a 2014 James Bond ski chase would look like. What're the chances that Daniel Craig's James Bond is going to visit a snowy mountaintop and not perform death-defying ski stunts as he evades gunfire and other skiers? It seems unlikely that he'd be the only Bond not to do it (Connery notwithstanding). While we've seen cast photos for the film before, these are the first to hint at its actual content. His first film, Casino Royale, rejuvenated a franchise that had succumbed to cheeseball absurdity ( Die Another Day), and not of the good variety.Today, new cast photos for Spectre were released featuring Craig, Bond Girl Léa Seydoux ( Blue Is the Warmest Color), and villainous henchman Dave Bautista (Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy) at an Austrian ski resort. The last Bond film - Skyfall - made over a billion dollars by itself. No matter who your favorite Bond is (Sean Connery 4-ever), there's no denying that Daniel Craig's take on the character has been a huge success. That's all thanks to hackers who leaked the film's script and communications between Sony and Eon executives, which indicated that the last third of the film was problematic and the budget has (had?) ballooned past $300 million.Īnd yet it's hard not to get excited about the twenty-fourth James Bond film. Despite the fact that Spectre has barely started shooting - we've yet to see footage, stills, or anything even remotely substantial about the film - there's an air of iffiness surrounding the production.
