New Bond Film Spectre Coming in October 2015
December 6, 2014. The film hero James Bond, Agent 007 of the British Secret Service MI6, who is also an expert in gambling and casino environments, will return to the big screen in October 2015. The film, titled Spectre, will be the 24th Bond film and the fourth to star British actor Daniel Craig in the lead role.
For Bond Enthusiasts
Fans of Bond films will certainly recognize the name of the new film, SPECTRE. It is a criminal organization that first appeared in the second Bond film, From Russia with Love (1963), led by the legendary villain – Number 1, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
For Daniel Craig, the sixth actor to portray Agent 007, Spectre will be his fourth Bond film. This ties him with his predecessor, Pierce Brosnan. The next milestones are Sean Connery and Roger Moore, who starred in 6 and 7 Bond films, respectively.
We’ll see how the actor and the entire film crew handle the role. Daniel Craig made a fantastic debut in Casino Royale (2006), where he also played Texas Hold'em Poker (you can watch the thrilling final game here). This was followed by a slight stumble in Quantum of Solace (2008), before Skyfall (2012) became the most commercially successful Bond film of all time – grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide.
