Can you tell that the latest James Bond film, titled Spectre, is right around the corner? Over the last few days Sam Mendes has already made clear his position to move on from the legendary spy franchise after two movies, whether this one busts $1B as Skyfall did or not. And now with a new trailer on the way, USA Today has debuted four new images of the many women in James Bond's life, both the new and the returning.
Naomie Harris, who can be seen this week in Southpaw, is returning as Eve Moneypenny, and her character is picking up right from where Skyfall left off. She says, “(It) made her reassess what she was doing as a profession and what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. She wants to support in a different way. There’s a maturity in that decision and a groundedness you see with her.”
Award-winning Blue is the Warmest Color star Lea Seydoux plays Madeleine Swann: “The doctor daughter of an assassin, Swann comes into contact with Bond at her Austrian clinic, and while there is a spark between them, their first meeting is abrupt, to say the least.”
Stephanie Sigman, best known for the acclaimed Mexican drama Miss Bala, joins the Bond family as Estrella, a mysterious character she refused to reveal much about: "She’s a lot like me. We like to have fun and we’re joyful people. I found her really easy to play and go with the flow and just be me.”
And then there's veteran actress Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, the widowed wife of a murdered mafioso: “She comes from a man’s world, but when the attraction between them takes place and she realizes her feminine power on him, then she trusts him to save her.”
They'll be joining Daniel Craig, Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes, and more when Spectre opens on November 6th. Here's the official synopsis:
In SPECTRE, 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. Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. SPECTRE is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, from a script by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.
