With a poster reveal and behind-the-scenes video already online, it was clearly time for the first teaser from James Bond’s new adventure, Spectre, to hit the web. Which is why we’re not completely surprised to be bringing you the following footage.
Yes, here is Daniel Craig once more throwing himself around the world on the track of a mystery, one tied to the events of Skyfall and the eponymous pile he once called home. In the brief tease, we re-visit Jesper Christensen's Mr. White, get glimpses of some of the other characters and, finally, meet Christoph Waltz's shadowy sort.
So what do we really know about the plot so far? Here’s the official synopsis… “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.”
In related Spectre news, the film will, like Skyfall before it, be released in IMAX cinemas globally, featuring digitally re-mastered visuals and audio to fit the bigger format.
With Sam Mendes back directing a script that has been written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, Spectre sees Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, as M, Q and Moneypenny respectively, with new recruits Waltz as the enigmatic Oberhauser, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Lea Seydoux as Madeline Swann, Stephanie Sigman as Estrella and Andrew Scott as Denbigh. It’ll hit UK screens on October 23 before heading across the pond and elsewhere on November 6.
