Spectre will be the title of the 24th official James Bond film, its makers have announced.

Director Sam Mendes revealed the title at a launch event at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, where principal photography is due to begin on Monday.

Daniel Craig will play 007 for the fourth time in the film, to be released in the UK on 23 October 2015.

Other cast members were also announced at Thursday's event, which was beamed around the world.

They include Sherlock's Andrew Scott, as an MI5 employee called Denbigh, and Guardians of the Galaxy actor Dave Bautista, playing a henchman called Mr Hinx.

Italian actress Monica Bellucci and France's Lea Seydoux have been unveiled as the new Bond girls, named Lucia Sciarra and Madeleine Swann respectively.

As expected, double Oscar winner Christoph Waltz will play a character called Oberhauser in the film.

The name of the character is the same as that of Bond's former ski instructor, though it has been rumoured Waltz will really be playing Bond's old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Spectre - Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion - was the name of the international crime syndicate, whose 'Number One' was Blofeld himself.

The organisation featured in the Bond films of the 1960s and was part of a legal tussle with a rival film producer that was recently resolved after many years.

Thursday's event also saw the unveiling of the Aston Martin DB10 which Bond will be driving in his latest screen adventure.



Returning cast members Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Rory Kinnear were also presented before the world's media, alongside Craig himself.

Craig, 46, first played Ian Fleming's legendary secret agent in 2006's Casino Royale, then in 2008's Quantum of Solace and 2012's Skyfall.

According to the film studio, the plot will see "a cryptic message from Bond's past send 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 Solden, along with other Austrian locations, Obertilliach, and Lake Altaussee.

Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were "excited to announce Daniel's fourth instalment in the series".

They also said they were "thrilled that Sam has taken on the challenge of following on the success of Skyfall with Spectre".

its spunked all over the news , the db just looks sheer class .

[vandeleur]

donniep will be short stroking over the whole announcement

[DONNIEP]

So this is the second time there's gonna be a Trannie in a Bond movie?

[DONNIEP]

Well, the video was kinda short.

But this kicks all kinds of ass. I'm glad they are taking the series back to its roots. It was nice to see the new M in the office from the old days at the end of the last movie. And I hope they do bring back the Blofeld character.

[Seshmeister]

I think it's a fair guess that Christoph Waltz is going to turn out to be Blofeld.

For fans of Bond there is a fun podcast called James Bonding where a couple of guys dissect each movie in turn, I particularly enjoyed the Goldfinger episode where they have 2 feminists who have never seen a Bond film watch it. They are fairly appalled by the idea that a lesbian just needs thrown about a bit and sexually assaulted to mend her ways.

Firstly she was a post op transsexual not just a guy dressed up.



Secondly she gets cited as a Bond girl but she just walks past him at a swimming pool in For Your Eyes Only and so was only an extra.

Thirdly, did you just call Monica Bellucci a trannie? Are you out of your fucking mind?

Going back and watching the old films Bond can be very rapey.

Am not a massive bond fan but I could imagine the roger Moore charm has maybe dated more then say Connerys

First - when I say Trannie I'm referring at least half post op.

Second - I didn't say she was a Bond Girl

Third - Are you new here? Everybody knows I'm out of my mind.

Why she's more than half the age of most of you around here.
