Director Sam Mendes just announced the title of the 24th official James Bond film now dubbed Spectre. Daniel Craig will reprise the lead role for the fourth time with the film to the UK October 23, 2015. The title has been featured in previous Bond films, which stands for the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion—an international crime organization whose leader was old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Not only were the title and the next bond car revealed (an Aston Martin DB10), but also other principal cast members were announced. Sherlock’s Andrew Scott, Christopher Waltz, and Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista will be a part of the bond cast. The most important thing—the Bond girls—will be played by Monica Belluci and Lea Seydoux. Alongside Mendes are writers, John Logan, Neal Purvis, and Robert Wade. Hoyte van Hoytema will be its director of photography.
Not much was given about the plot except, though the director mentioned “a cryptic message from Bond’s past send him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization.” There you have, a good Bond film can never stay away too long.
