A new behind-the-scenes video has been released for the 24th James Bond film. This one features director Sam Mendes (“Skyfall”) explaining why he decided to return to the franchise.

“The reasons I’m doing the second Bond movie are the reasons I would do any movie, really, which is all to do with the story,” Mendes explains. “And in this movie, Spectre, what you have is a movie entirely driven by Bond.ย  He is on a mission from the very beginning. It’s about whether or not to pursue the life he’s always pursued; whether he matters, and is he going to continue or not.ย  And you’re going to have to come to see the movie to find out whether he does.”

He also wanted to comeback to the franchise so that he could continue developing all of the new characters he introduced us to in Skyfall, like the new M (Ralph Fiennes), Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw).

Watch the new Spectre video blog below.

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.
