New James Bond SPECTRE Featurette Spotlights Day Of The Dead

The James Bond 007 YouTube Channel has uploaded a new video going behind-the-scenes on the production of the opening scene of Spectre. The video has director Sam Mendes and other members of the film’s crew discussing the scene, which recreates a 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 color and detail and life. We’ve built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing,” says Mendes.

In Spectre, a cryptic message from his past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a quest to uncover a sinister organization while M (Ralph Fiennes) battles political forces that want to shut down the British secret service.

Spectre opens November 6.
