What Spectre is Looming Over the Next Bond Film?
December 4, 2014 by dracs
The poster for the next Bond movie has appeared as the super spy is set to star in Spectre!
Now my initial, and very geeky, reaction to hearing this title was "Awesome! James Bond meets The Spectre!"
Admit it, you'd watch that.
That was until a friend of mine pointed out what it's more likely to mean which is even more exciting. You see SPECTRE was the terrorist organisation who Bond faced previously, led by none other than this guy.
When you realise this a few other things start to appear. The bullet hole on the poster, for example, bears a slight resemblance to the SPECTRE logo.
So, it's looking very much as though James Bond is once again going up against his old nemsis. Given that the Daniel Craig movies have been a prequel series to the character (although if you try to factor in the continuity of Judi Dench as M you will give yourself a headache) this could perhaps be an exploration of the famous 00 agent's first encounter with the organisation!
All in all I am pretty hyped for this prospect. It's great seeing the modern Bond movies acknowledge their roots, while doing something new with them. Also the team behind Skyfall will be behind this, and that was in my opinion one of the best Bond movies in recent years. I just hope we will still get a megalomaniacal genius stroking a cat.
Are you a Bond fan? What do you hope to see in this new movie?
Love it, very excited!
For me, the success of the spectre’s retrun will strongly depends of its main villain (and the actor casted for the role).
Well, Dick Cheney is doing much these days. I’m sure he could be convinced to return to lead SPECTRE once more.
Million times more excited about this than Terminator Genisys…
I liked Skyfall, though seeing the old Aston get trashed almost brought tears to the eyes. You have to love a car fitted with a passenger ejector seat 🙂
I am looking forward to this but I am not yet getting exited before I see result.
Spectre is the car:

The car was built after the movie was released.
In the Bond universe, SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) is a terrorist organization which first appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and in the film Dr. No (1962).
