Fashion lore across the pond runs that it’s unacceptable to wear white after Labor Day, which falls on September 7 this year. So here comes Daniel Craig's Bond, sneaking in before the deadline in the new poster for Spectre.
To be honest, obeying archaic dress sense is the least of 007’s worries, especially with a Dia de los Muertos-style skull (a signifier of the film’s Mexico-based opening sequence) lurking behind him.
And he’ll have much more than that to worry about in Sam Mendes’ second shot at the Bond franchise after Skyfall. Following up on what happened in that film, 007 is sent off on another globe-trotting adventure, spurred by a cryptic message to discover a secret, sinister organisation that has its roots in his own past.
With Mendes back directing a script that has been written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, Spectre sees Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, as M, Q and Moneypenny respectively, with new recruits Christoph Waltz as the enigmatic Oberhauser, Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swan, Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Stephanie Sigman as Estrella and Andrew Scott as Denbigh. It’ll hit UK screens – include the big IMAX ones – on October 23 before heading across the pond and elsewhere on November 6. For all you need to know about the film, brief yourself with our guide.
