About Spectre (2015 film) in brief
Spectre is a 2015 spy film and the twenty-fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures. It is the fourth film to feature Daniel Craig as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond, and the second film in the series directed by Sam Mendes following Skyfall. The story sees Bond pitted against the global criminal organisation Spectre and their enigmatic leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Spectre was filmed from December 2014 to July 2015 in Austria, the United Kingdom, Italy, Morocco and Mexico. It received fairly positive reviews from critics who praised the film’s action sequences, cinematography, acting and musical score, but criticized the screenplay and pacing. Spectre grossed over USD 880 million worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2015. The next film, No Time to Die, is set to be released on 2 April 2021, with Craig reprising his role for the fifth and final time and Cary Joji Fukunaga directing. The theme song \”Writing’s on the Wall\”, performed and co-written by Sam Smith, won an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song. Spectre was estimated to have cost around USD 245 million—with some sources listing it as high as USD 300 million—making it the most expensive Bond film and one of the mostexpensive films ever made. It was released in the United States and Canada on 6 November, and received fairly good reviews.
The film was released on 26 October 2015 in the UK on the same night of the world premiere at the London Royal Albert Hall, and was followed by a worldwide release, including IMAX screenings. Several James Bond characters, including M, Q and Eve Moneypenny, return, with new additions Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Andrew Scott as Max Denbigh and Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra. Bond is suspended from field duty by Gareth Mallory, the current M, who is engaged in a power struggle with Max Den bigh, the Director-General of the new, privately backed Joint Intelligence Service formed by the merger of MI5 and MI6. He uses his influence to close down the ’00’ field agent section, which he believes is outdated. After hearing the order for the assassin Pale King Hinx to be assassinated, Bond is pursued across the city in his Aston Martin DB10 by the organisation’s C-X75. Mr. Hinx tells Bond that Mr. White, a former member of Pale King’s subsidiary, is a fallen afoul of the organisation who was presumed dead 20 years earlier. He tells Bond to find and protect his daughter, who will take him to L’Américain Swann in order to take him in. Spectre is the final James Bond film to be distributed theatrically by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label, as Universal Pictures will internationally distribute the next film in series, No time to Die.
