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.”.

Written by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, Director of Photography is Hoyte van Hoytema and Editor is Lee Smith. Production Designer, Dennis Gassner returns along with Costume Designer, Jany Temime and Composer, Thomas Newman. Action Specialist, Alexander Witt is the 2nd Unit Director. Stunt Coordinator is Gary Powell, SFX Supervisor is Chris Corbould, and Visual Effects Supervisor is Steve Begg.

Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film, was a worldwide box office phenomenon, opening #1 in 70 territories around the world, taking over $1.1 billion worldwide and setting a new all-time box office record in the UK by becoming the first film to take over £100 million.

The launch of SPECTRE was streamed live on 007.com and Facebook.com/JamesBond007, and the video is now available on demand at both sites.

Damn. A year and a half away. Can't wait. How many more films is Craig under contract for?
 
Cant wait 

Maybe it will come out on my birthday
 
Such a long weight though. How old is Daniel Craig now? I can't imagine him doing another one if it takes this long.
 
Can't wait for this. Might need to alter the thread title though. I think it's Come and Dive?
 
Craig has been a great Bond.

46. He is always in great shape though so he could probably do several more if he signs up for more films.

Connery was 53 last time he played Bond and I think Craig is in much better shape than him.
 
Teaser vid was supposedly fake so it was taken down.
 
Early Aprils fool prank apparently, kind of funny that even pranks leak out early nowadays. :lol
 
You should have suspected it from the title... COME AND DIVE :lol

[h1]Daniel Craig: Blame 'Austin Powers' For the Super Serious James Bond Movies[/h1]
Jordan ZakarinWriterDecember 3, 2014

With just a day to go before the new Bond announcement, a newly- surfaced interview  with Daniel Craig from 2012 may shed some light on where the series might be headed. When Craig was hired to help reboot James Bond, he knew that he wanted to make a serious film — both because he is a serious actor, and because a certain other spy spoof had made it impossible to do a goofy 007.

"We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f—-ed us," the actor told Bond fan publication MI6, referring to Myers’ remarkably successful Austin Powers  series. ”I am a huge Mike Myers fan, so don’t get me wrong, but he kind of f—-ed us, made it impossible to do the gags.”

Myers’ groovy International Man of Mystery tore apart some of the Bond world’s biggest clichés. The 1997 movie’s villain, Dr. Evil, was inspired by the famous Bond baddie Blofeld (with a dash of Dr. No), while other characters such as Random Task, Number 2, Frau Farbissina, and Basil Exposition also took inspiration from key Bond characters. The fixation on bed-hopping, women in bikinis, volcanoes, sharks, and lasers, also owe a debt to the campy Bond flicks of the ’70s and ’80s in particular.

Casino Royale, Craig’s first go-round as the secret agent in 2006, was a very Bourne-esque outing for Bond, as was 2008’s Quantum of Solace. But as Craig notes in the same interview, 2012’s Skyfall, which featured Javier Bardem as the campy (and dentally-impaired) villain Silva, was a step toward some of the older, less-serious Bond outings.

"What I love and what I really wanted to achieve with Skyfall  was a level of fantasy, it’s one of the less violent ones, there’s less blood, and people aren’t dying in a horrible way, and it feels like much more of a family movie, and they should be family movies,” he said.

As for the next Bond film — the title and cast of which will be announced on Thursday  — Craig said that he hopes to push the cheese even further.

"I don’t want to go ludicrous and we’ve got to keep them in reality, but Christ almighty, the world’s f—-ing weird and there’s plenty we can start mining and taking out," he promised. "If Blofeld turned up again, it wouldn’t be a bad thing."

I agree, that is a blessing in disguise.

Plus it was a necessary change from Brosnans ridiculous gadgets too, the last two Brosnan Bond films has pretty much become a parody of the franchise itself.
 
For real, hes the only Bond that I actually believe can kill 20+ people by himself.
 
Also, reports are Monica Belucci is in talks to star in the film. :smokin


Other rumors includ Waltz as the main villain and Batista as the muscle.

I've heard Bautista is pretty much confirmed as a main baddie... Various wrestling outlets that never lie...
