It’s been a long wait since 2012’s Skyfall. Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Sony Pictures Entertainment held the official announcement to a lucky crowd of people over at Pinewood Studios in London. The 24th James Bond film of the series has been officially titled Spectre and will release in the U.K. on October 23, 2015 and in the U.S. on November 6! To make that release date, filming will begin this coming Monday the 8th.
Returning to their prior roles in the Bond-verse are Daniel Craig as Bond, Rory Kinnear as Tanner, Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, and Ralph Fiennes as M. Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser, Sherlock’s Andrew Scott as Denbigh, David Bautista Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci Lucia Sciarra, and Léa Seydoux as Madeline Swann have all been confirmed as newcomers to the franchise.
The title Spectre is actually an acronym for Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Spectre is the terrorist group featured in six previous Bond films and Ernst Stavo Blofeld was the leader. To make things even more confirmed that this previously used terrorist organization is coming back, I have included the original logo below as well as the motion poster that looks eerily similar.
