The past is new again for agent 007: The next James Bond film will be called "Spectre."
Director Sam Mendes announced the name of the 24th official Bond film Thursday at England's Pinewood Studios.
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz will join Daniel Craig in the cast. Craig makes his fourth appearance as the rugged British secret service agent.

I’m 67 so I’ve been with it since Dr. No came out. We will never get another Connery.
Sigh from a guy.
Younger people will have their own preferences.
xlnt of course.
I’m a Goldfinger fan
I would like a smaller film along the order of Russia With Love. Would like to see them go outside the formula for a change.
Sign up for Netflix and $7.99 a month will get you the largest selection of online movies to stream over the internet to your HD TV...got rid of cable 2 years ago and for local broadcast tv got an HD TV antenna.
Brosnan and Connery had good humor or could deliver a witty retort or puch line. Dalton and Craig more ruthless IMO, maybe closer to the books.
However, since Fleming preferred Niven he muse have liked some wit and a twinkle in the eye. Very suave.
I like the reboot of Star Trek with the characters younger. I think they did a good job with the choice of actors. The story fills in a gap which was not previously shown.
Would like to see a TV series between Enterprise and the young original characters. Fill in the gaps, I say.
Maybe the new Star Wars will pump some energy not the series.
As long as tickets sell, we’ll have all of them, including Bond.
Enjoyed Fleming very much.
Definitely not the same. Much better now.
I like when he did normal guy roles like Witness.
Well I got my movie Jones satisfied for awhile. Back later today if any replies. Thanx.
The Spy Who Loved Me....The best Moore Bond film.

Seems that the plots just get more unbelievable with each new release. As far as “as long as it sells...”, I know your right but I just can’t believe folks keep going to see those things.
“Sigh from a guy.”
LOL! :)
my mom would have picked Niven or Cary Grant
My favorite Connery role outside of Bond, Untouchables. Tough olle cop
Yes, I would like a smaller film along the lines of From Russia With Love.
Moonraker was way over the top with the space stuff. And I got tired of Jaws.
Also, would have been a truer fit to the role, having been a Lt. Col. in the British Commandoes during WWII.
I’m watching The Game on BBC America. I like that style very much.
Daniel Craig also played Perry Smith in “Infamous” (the other Truman Capote movie starring Toby Jones). That was a good movie that didn’t seem to draw much of audience.
