Sony Pictures has released a brand new featurette with footage from the shooting of the opening sequence of Sam Mendes' upcoming James Bond film, Spectre, which is set during the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico City.
"I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment. It's the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there's colour and detail and life. We've built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing," says director Sam Mendes.
Currently, Spectre is set to open in theaters across the United Kingdom on October 23, 2015 and in the United States on November 6, 2015.
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.
The film is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, from a script by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.
