New SPECTRE Poster Dips Into 007 History, Plus Read The Full Synopsis
Sony Pictures has released the newest poster for Spectre, the twenty-fourth film in the James Bond franchise. This will be Daniel Craig's fourth time suiting up as the British super spy, and EON Productions is certainly hoping that long-time fans recognize the nods in this new poster to previous Bond films. The white jacket is a throwback to Goldfinger, and the painted head behind him is meant to conjure memories of Live and Let Die while teasing the Mexico City Dia de los Muertos opening of this movie that we've seen hints of in production videos.
But frankly, this poster is pretty boring. Far more interesting — to me, anyway — is what I believe to be our first extended synopsis for the movie, which you can read in full below:
A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.
As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.
Spectre opens on November 6th in the United States and October 26th in the United Kingdom.
