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.

The spectre of Ian Fleming fills SPECTRE.

In interviews the heirs of Albert R. “Cubby” say their famous father would say always go back to the Fleming books when in doubt about the direction of the 007 film franchise.

EON Productions did just that when they reset the series by hiring Daniel Craig and making a film based on the first Fleming novel, Casino Royale.

As fans eagerly await for SPECTRE, the spirit of Ian Fleming and Albert Broccoli is clear and present in the 24th Bond film. It’s astonishing to think after more than 50 years and all those films there are still elements of Fleming’s books we are seeing for the first time in the film franchise.

A new poster for the new James Bond film with an old school vibe.

Daniel Craig returns as 007 in SPECTRE but this poster could make some fans think of Live And Let Die, Roger Moore’s first 007 film.

Craig in his white tux stands over a villain in a skeleton mask. The new film opens with Bond on a mission in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead festival with Craig under the mask.

In Live and Let Die, Moore’s 007 faced off against a villain with the henchman Baron Samedi, a voodoo icon who often dressed in a skull motif and makeup. Continue reading New SPECTRE Poster

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.
