James Bond Producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli today released the title of the 24th James Bond adventure, SPECTRE. The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed by Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his fourth film as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007. SPECTRE begins principal photography on Monday, December 8, and is set for global release on November 6, 2015.

Along with Daniel Craig, Mendes presented the returning cast, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Rory Kinnear as well as introducing Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Monica Bellucci and Andrew Scott. Mendes also revealed Bond’s sleek new Aston Martin, the DB10, created exclusively for SPECTRE.

A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. 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 007 production will be based at Pinewood Studios, and on location in London, Mexico City, Rome and Tangier and Erfoud, in Morocco. Bond will return to the snow once again, this time in Sölden, along with other Austrian locations, Obertilliach, and Lake Altaussee.

Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, “We’re excited to announce Daniel’s fourth installment in the series and thrilled that Sam has taken on the challenge of following on the success of SkyFall with SPECTRE.”.

"A cryptic clue from Bonds past"..... Do they perhaps mean something from Skyfall/Kinncaid or from Vesper in Casino Royale? I hope Bond doesn't end up having a family relative involved in Spectre or something silly like that. Perhaps Quantum has morphed into Spectre. Or, the old M (Judi Dench), has been involved in Spectre in some way, this questions Bonds perception of her etc..... Just some thoughts.
Amazing news!! I do believe in the team Sam Mendes-Daniel Craig. I'm wondering if Tom Ford will be involved again, and will create a brand new stunning sunglasses for the film.
Am I the only one reminded of OHMSS by that teaser poster?
