After the billion dollar success of Skyfall, how do you top it?

Director Sam Mendes reveals why he returns for the 24th James Bond film and to expand the story he began.

“The reasons I’m doing the second Bond movie are the reasons I would do any movie, really, which is all to do with the story. And in this movie, SPECTRE, what you have is a movie entirely driven by Bond. He is on a mission from the very beginning,” he says. “It’s about whether or not to pursue the life he’s always pursued, whether he matters and is he going to continue or not. And you’re going to have to come to see the movie to find out whether he does.”

In the new interview via 007.com the director gives more insight on the story and we see footage of Daniel Craig as James Bond in action.

Here’s the official film description:

“A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. 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.”

SPECTRE is set for global release on November 6, 2015.
