A lot of details about the new James Bond movie, Spectre, were announced by director Sam Mendes yesterday. For example, we now know that it’s now called Spectre, stars Daniel Craig as 007 for the fourth time, features Christoph Waltz, and will be released late 2015, with shooting beginning on this upcoming Monday. We also know the logline:
“A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. 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.”
We also know Bond’s new car: The 2015 Aston Martin DB10, a car built just for the movie. In fact, Aston Martin is only producing 10 of these dream whips. What’s in a name? It’s an upgrade from Bond’s usual DB5 and Vanity Fair tells us that “The alphanumeric DB10 name is derived from the initials of Aston’s famous mid-century owner and savior, Sir David Brown, and represents a continuous numbered series that began in the late 1940s.”
By all means, it’s a sexy-looking car:

Skyfall was one of my favorite Bonds since, like, Goldeneye, so I’m pretty stoked for Spectre. Fingers-crossed its just as good.
