The 24th Bond film now has a title, Spectre. Spectre is the name of a terrorist organization that was headed by Blofeld in earlier Bond films (the bald guy with a cat, the one that Dr. Evil is modeled after in the Austin Powers movies). I think this is a cool one word title much in the same vein as Skyfall. Also confirmed were previously rumored cast members, Dave Bautista (from Guardians of the Galaxy) as new hitman Hinx and Lea Seydoux as new Bond girl Madeliene Swann. Freshly revealed now are another Bond girl Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra (how has she not been in a Bond movie before? She’s absolutely perfect for them), Andrew Scott (the big baddie Moriarty from BBC’s excellent Sherlock) as Denbigh, and the biggest get is incomparable Christoph Waltz as a character called Oberhauser. I’m not buying for a second that Waltz is playing anyone but Blofeld. This must just be a cover. And of course Daniel Craig returns as Bond, Ralph Fiennes as M (after Dame Judi Dench’s ultimate sacrifice in Skyfall) and Ben Whishaw as the gadget master Q. Sam Mendes who directed the previous installment returns for this one as well.
Get excited everyone! This hits screens sooner than you might think on November 6th, 2015.
The 29 year old French actress has been selected to be the femme fatale for Bond 24. This Bond Girl was actually a Mission Impossible Girl first in the 2011 entry Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. She was also in some great films recently, namely Inglorious Basterds, Midnight In Paris, and Blue is the Warmest Color. Filming is set to start this December on the as of yet untitled 24th Bond picture. 2012’s Skyfall director Sam Mendes is set to return behind the camera and of course Daniel Craig is back as the title character. The scheduled release date is November 6, 2015. That seems like an awfully quick turnaround, but is actually about the same amount of time Skyfall had from filming to release.
