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 bet this is his last Bond.
Kewel.
Maybe they’ll release a new Omega in tribute.
Too bad, if true. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Bond. I believe he showed the character’s deep-seated suicidal pathos.
I quit watching James Bond films after the “Die Another Day” one. It’s just not the same without either Roger Moore or Sean Connery.
It’s pretty good now. Should give it a try.
Hopefully Bond is a bit less gay in this movie. I can only take so much.
Me neither...
Cool title.
Puzzled as to why it’s not in all-CAPS.
However David Niven was Fleming’s first choice for 007.
I’ve been liking Daniel Craig in the role.
No one can be Connery, but I think he comes closer to fitting the role than anyone else has, even Moore, IMHO.
I think the new “M” (assuming the same actor comes back from Skyfall) is going to work well in that role and the previous one did a believable job. I’m not sold on the new “Q” yet. The backstory on Moneypenny they wrote into Skyfall was certainly interesting.
They could have ( and have) done, a lot worse with the franchise in the past than Craig.
I have to say that I am a fan of Ursula Andress! But that particular movie, not so much.
I rarely ever see movies anymore as I’m not aware of what is showing. I don’t watch TV so I never see previews. The last three movies I went to was Heaven is for Real, Lone Survivor and America 2012.
While in the dentist office I browsed a People magazine and was pretty proud of myself when I couldn’t identify hardly anyone in the mag.
I thought the same thing when I read the headline. He had better stick with it.
He hasn’t had a hit other than bond.
Look at Harrison Ford and Michael Meyer.
Had to go back to their one trick ponies.
I guess members of Quantum voted for a name change or maybe a bald guy with a white Persian cat who amassed enough power within Quantum felt a need to come up with a more descriptive acronym to push the agenda.
*SIGH*
I like Daniel Craig as Bond; have enjoyed all of those movies so far. Finally saw 'Skyfall' a few weeks back and thought it was very good. Javiar Bardem was deliciously EVIL. I also liked the Miss Moneypenny back-story, and of course I've LOVED Judy Dench for, forever. Sad to see her go. Loved the song by Adele, too.
Roger Moore was horrible.
Another worn out franchise like “Star Wars” & Star Trek”.
“However David Niven was Flemings first choice for 007.”
I did not know that. Interesting.
