'Spectre' Will Force James Bond to Question What He is Fighting For
Looks like Agent James Bond didn't have time to party as Eon Prodcution wasted no time in making "Spectre" a reality, as production immediately started right after "Skyfall" premiered.
The film takes off after MI6 was bombed by Raoul Silva and a cryptic message was left that sends James Bond on a mission to uncover a sinister organization known as SPECTRE. Bond will go on a journey from Mexico to Austria and Morocco where he will come across a past enemy. Bond will confront his enemy only to find out a secret that will question everything he has loyally fought for. Bond will have to weave through the truth to unravel the secrets behind SPECTRE. Meanwhile Gareth Mallory, as the newly appointed M, is busy trying to protect MI6 from the political pressures.
In November 2014, hackers who targeted Sony Pictures Entertainment, released vital information about the film's script, which Eon Production later confirmed, were "early version of the screenplay." Although 'Spectre' is a never-before-seen plot in any of the previous Bond films, the screenplay is greatly influenced by Ian Fleming's source material that greatly focuses on the role of Franz Oberhauser. Oberhauser's name is similar with Hannes Oberhauser, a character in 'Octopussy,' who was a temporary legal guardian of a young Bond in 1983.
Director Sam Mendes shares that "Spectre" is all about James Bond. In the behind-the-scenes Vlog, the director says; "Spectre is a movie entirely driven by Bond … He is on a mission from the very beginning." He adds, "It's about whether or not to pursue the life he's always pursued, whether he matters and is he going to continue or not."
"Spectre" will be Daniel Craig's fourth appearance as the MI6 agent. Other stars who will reprise their roles are Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny. Rory Kinnear would also have his third appearance in the franchise as Bill Tanner. Christoph Waltz will play the role of Franz Oberhauser, as the film's main antagonist. 50-year old Monica Bellucci, who plays Lucia Sciarra, is the oldest Bond girl. The film would also include Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, and Jesper Christensen as Mr. White.
Directed by Sam Mendes, "Spectre" will have its worldwide release on November 6, 2015.
