The Aston-Martin comes roaring back with other super car action in SPECTRE. The 24th James Bond adventure marks the return of the classic car that dazzled fans in Goldfinger and Thunderball.

Daniel Craig’s latest mission makes nostalgic and look back at our 7 favorite gadgets from the 007 franchise:

Attache Case from From Russia, With Love.

The first proper Bond “gadget” from the second and our favorite film. Q (Major Boothroyd) outfits Bond with this cool case secretly packing ammunition, a sniper rifle, throwing knife, gold sovereigns and a tear gas cartridge. This case was critical in Bond’s Orient Express encounter with the assassin Red Grant (Robert Shaw) one of my favorite henchmen of the series.

James Bond will return in Spectre.

EON Productions, MGM and Sony announced the title and cast of the 24th 007 film in the iconic film series. Daniel Craig returns as Bond for fourth time with director Sam Mendes back to direct after the critical and billion dollar success of the last adventure, Skyfall.

The title is a blast from the past. SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terror Revenge and Extortion) was an evil organization led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Ian Fleming’s novels.

The first teaser poster is an homage to the symbol of the ring worn by SPECTRE operatives in the Sean Connery 007 films.

James Bond’s Classic Car in New “Skyfall” Videoblog

  Bond girls comes and go but the Aston Martin always comes back. The classic car born in Goldfinger is back in Skyfall. Director Sam Mendes and Producer Michael G. Wilson reflect on the Aston Martin of past and future in a new videoblog from 007.com.

 Mendes says the car is a “thematic” choice and “there’s something about the later part of the movie which is deliberately…very consciously…could have taken place in 1962.”

  James Bond and the Aston Martin DB5 return in Skyfall this November!

New James Bond Photo: The Spy, The Car!

  When I saw this photo from Fandango.com I immediately thought of Sean Connery in Switzerland in Goldfinger.

  Daniel Craig in a classic suit in a shot with his classic car. We know Skyfall is filming and set in Scotland, the home of Bond’s father. This sure looks like 007 on the way to Skyfall Lodge.

 

Fandango’s preview story (out Monday) says the story will also take place in Macau. I think this is the first time that location has been mentioned. We know exterior shooting will take place in Shanghai. If true, this will be first time 007 has been in Macau since Roger Moore in 1974’s The Man With the Golden Gun.

Thanks to Fandango.com.
