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."
'James Bond 24' To Announce Title & Cast On Thursday, Will There Be Any Surprises?
The cast rumors were confirmed as Christoph Waltz headlined the cast as Oberhauser, who could actually be Blofeld in disguise. The original rumor said that Waltz would be playing Oberhauser, who is the son of a man who was a father figure in Bond's past.
Joining Waltz as a newcomer is Dave Bautista who will be playing the henchman Mr. Hinx. Monica Bellucci was added as Lucia Sciarra and looks to be the new Bond girl, Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann and the new femme fatale, and Andrew Scott as Denbigh, who could either be a good or bad guy.
The new Bond car will be the Aston Martin DB-10 with Mendes teasing that, "you will see what it can do when you come and see the movie." The car was also mentioned as the "non-human" cast member.
Filming on the seven-month shoot begins Monday, and the production is scheduled for a variety of exotic locales, including Mexico City, Rome, Tangier and Erfoud, Morocco, Sölden, Austria, as well as other locations Obertilliach and Lake Altaussee.
The cast looks superb and up until the film's release, the film's villain will probably play between Waltz and Scott, who could be used as a tease. Other than that, it looks like Mendes will be bringing back that classic Bond with a new feel.
Spectre opens in theaters on Nov. 6, 2015.
