See more » Connections (Quis Ut Deus?) – See all my reviews Spoilers Ahead: First, not since You Only Live Twice have I nodded off during a Bond movie. You think you have seen slow have you? Well, pony up to the bar, buddy, this is the big leagues of boring. When I read these positives, I remember that studios own all the media outlets today including papers. Forgive me IMDb, but I notice that movies that are currently in the theaters seem to have numbers much higher than after they are gone from the cinemas. In short, the reviews are bought and paid for like everything else in the global oligarchs' reality. Yes, my friends, conglomerates own papers that review the movies that are also subsidiaries of these very same multinationals. The elephant in the room, for those of you reading this in the back, after IMDb cashes that big check, is that this movie makes Lawrence Of Arabia look like Shoot Em Up. Eternal travel, here to there, there to here, on and on ad freaking infinitum. The theater I saw this in had a steady stream of grumbling about fifteen minutes into the film. This grew louder and more obscene; then, the exodus began in earnest.

The plot has been used before in about a dozen recent movies (Jack Ryan) the tired old information total control. Show of hands, who thinks that the NSA isn't reading this review as I freaking type it? See, the classic Bonds, especially when they feature effeminate P's as their villains( Moonraker) have genocide as the plot, that is interesting. Oh, no! They are going to get access to all the intelligence networks, stop the presses. Waltz is a dwarf who is about as frightening as my dirty underwear. He prattles on, as he did in Inglorious Retards, until I begin throwing food from my plate at the screen. Boring and Not Scary. See, the original Blofeld was quite kind right before he killed you( Diamonds Are Forever). Pee-Wee could only talk someone to death that is the sum of his intimidation. I see others have highlighted the bizarre fight with Bautista, this is the same all through the movie. Fights without injury, blowing one's brains out with no blood or gore; the movie's sense of reality is painful. Compare to For Your Eyes Only when that hot woman gets run over.

To those of you reading the paid reviewers up front, do not believe the crap: it sucks A@@. Perhaps a handful of comic book readers think they are watching something profound, I doubt it. Don't believe me? Go look at the IMDb rating for the new crappy Star Wars that has 97% bad reviews yet an IMDb rating of 8.4? Trust me, you don't need a degree in Math to see corruption, it is right there. I know other people who have seen this and, out of six, there was one person who barely liked it but said it was boring in parts. C has the charisma of a clam. Blofeld and C are perfect together both are not frightening but chatter on endlessly. How about the dumb ass ending? Here is a man who admits being responsible for M's, Vespers, Mathis, and plenty of others' deaths and what does our icy, sociopathic, nasty bastard Bond do? He lets him live, yes, they need him in future movies. Please, the Bond of Casino Royale would have shot him in the legs working his way slowly up to the vital areas while eating some caviar.

Yes, fan-boys, that is just what this Bond would do to the villain who killed Vesper and M, let him live. This is an example of how retarded the writing is: boring, pointless, uninteresting, non-threatening and contradictory. Yes, that's right, in Quantum Bond kills anybody remotely connected with Vesper's death but here, the only two people he cared for's killer and he walks freaking away. My friends, I signed off of IMDb after Star Wars, because I realize, like all media sites, this one is corrupt like every other one. When you read reviews in papers or on sites, remember giant corporations own the papers that review the movie companies' movies that they also own. How objective do you think they are going to be? I still will read many of your reviews but I refuse to contribute because it is so obviously corrupt. Go see it or buy it, don't say I didn't warn you. I have all the Bonds but I will not buy this one. Big Brother says it is thought-crime. Sorry. Deus Vobiscum. IMDb. Q.E.D.

View All Critic Reviews (311) Audience Reviews for Spectre Every couple of years we get to go to the movies and hear the immortal words "Bond is back!". It's been 53 years since Sean Connery stepped into the role that he made iconic or made him an icon. That is a debate for a later time. Six Bonds later and the franchise still delivers enjoyable adventures that span the globe (with the occasional dud). Spectre is officially the 24th film and it really harkens back to the Bond of 30 years ago.

The previous three films have built to this point in which Bond (Daniel Craig) has found that there is a huge criminal syndicate called Spectre that has been behind the events going all the way back to Casino Royale. Spectre represents a series of events in which Bond attempts to pull back the curtain and expose the puppet master in the form of Ernst Stravo Blofeld (Christophe Waltz). What's interesting about Spectre is that after 45 years of legal wranglings James Bond finally gets to face his arch nemesis. Blofeld is a characters that has never been played by the same actor twice and Christophe Waltz is a wonderful return for the character. Cold, calculated evil delivered. Craig once again fits into Bond and exudes that dark, brooding Bond. Some have mentioned the Roger Moore era of Bond being represented in this film, but Craig keeps the film grounded. Each Bond is his own man, yet the same man. Bringing us to the story, it once again leads to world control. Not from nukes or space stations, but information. We live in an information age. Our bogeymen sit at computer screens now.

Who is on the other end of that camera watching you.Bond stories tend to recycle themselves, but amazingly most of them hold up. Spectre is a very good follow up to the almost perfect Skyfall. What's enjoyable about James Bond films, particularly when comparing films with the Bournes and Mission: Impossibles out there. Each individual Bond film makes its own mark, be it in villains, locales, or general bad assery. Other spy franchise seem to blend together, creating a murky identity when trying to remember what film had this or that happen. Bond has never had that problem and it's one of the many reasons that these films endure and continue to endure. Chris Garman SPECTRE | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members." ― Ernst Stavro Blofeld. [src] SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), stylised simply as Spectre in its 2015 film reboot, is a fictional global criminal and terrorist organisation featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming and their official and unofficial film adaptations.

Led by 007's nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld , the organisation first formally appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and subsequently in the movie Dr. No (1962). After a four-decade absence from the Eon film series the organization was officially reintroduced in the twenty-fourth Bond film, Spectre (2015). When introduced in 1961, the organization effectively replaced as Bond's primary antagonist. SPECTRE is not aligned to any nation or political ideology, enabling the later Bond books and Bond films to be regarded as apolitical. Originally concieved of as a small group of professional criminals in the novels, SPECTRE became a vast international organisation with its own elaborate facilities in the film series. Contents Ideology Comparison of Fiona Volpe's octopus insignia ring from Thunderball (1965), with Marco Sciarra's one from Spectre (2015). In Ian Fleming's novels, SPECTRE was primarily a commercial enterprise led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld .

Their top-level members were 21 individuals, 18 of whom handled day-to-day affairs and were drawn in groups of three from six of the world's greatest criminal organisations—the Gestapo, SMERSH , Marshal Josip Broz Tito's secret police, the Mafia, the Unione Corse , and a massive heroin-smuggling operation based in Turkey. [1] Their debut was in Thunderball . At the time of writing the novel (c.1959) Fleming believed that the Cold War might end during the two years it would take to produce a film adaptation, which would leave it looking dated; he therefore thought it better to create a politically neutral enemy for Bond. [2] In the classic James Bond films produced by EON Productions , the organisation had a more active role, often as a third party in the ongoing Cold War. The goal of world domination was only ever stated in You Only Live Twice , and SPECTRE was working not for itself but for an unnamed Asian government whose two representatives Blofeld speaks to during the movie; perhaps Red China, who earlier backed Goldfinger . SPECTRE 's goals in the other films it has appeared in have always been less lofty.

Its long-term strategy, however, is illustrated by the analogy of the three Siamese fighting fish Blofeld keeps in an aquarium in the film version of From Russia with Love . Blofeld notes that one fish is refraining from fighting two others until their fight is concluded. Then, that cunning fish attacks the weakened victor and kills it easily. Similarly, SPECTRE 's main strategy was to instigate conflict between two powerful enemies, namely the superpowers, hoping that they would exhaust themselves and be vulnerable when it seizes power. SPECTRE thus worked with both sides of the Cold War. In all novel and film depitctions, organizational discipline within SPECTRE was notoriously draconian with the penalty for disobedience or failure being death. With the cinematic Blofeld stating on several occasions: "This organisation does not tolerate failure". Furthermore, to heighten the impact of the executions, Blofeld often chose to focus attention on an innocent member, making it appear his death is imminent, only to suddenly strike down the actual target when that person is off guard. Fleming's SPECTRE had elements inspired by mafia syndicates and organised crime rings that were actively hunted by law enforcement in the 1950s.

The strict codes of loyalty and silence, and the hard retributions that followed violations, were hallmarks of U.S. gangster rings, Mafia, the Unione Corse, the Chinese Tongs/Triads and the Japanese Yakuza/Black Dragon Society. Headquarters 02:52 SPECTRE meeting in Thunderball In both the novel and official film adaptation of Thunderball , the physical headquarters of the organisation were located in Paris , France , operating behind a front organisation aiding refugees ("Firco" in the novels; "International Brotherhood for the Assistance of Stateless Persons" in the films). Similarly, in the unofficial 1983 film Never Say Never Again, SPECTRE meets in a secret underground meeting room beneath an unidentified French bank. With ther official reintroduction and reimagining in the 2015 film Spectre, the organisation's base of operations were primarily centred around a data-gathering centre in the Saharan desert, with a separate meeting location (presumably intended to be temporary) in Rome , Italy.

Leadership & Hierarchy Main article: List of SPECTRE members In most of its iterations, SPECTRE was founded and headed by the supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld (who usually appeared accompanied by a white Persian cat in the movies, but not in the books). In both the films and the novels, Emilio Largo was the second in command. It is stated in the novel that if something were to happen to Blofeld, Largo would assume command. [3] The members of the head board of SPECTRE went by numbers (e.g.: Number 1) as codenames. In the novels, the numbers of members were initially assigned at random and then rotated by two digits every month to prevent detection. For example, if one was Number 1 this month, he would be Number 3 next month. In the novel Thunderball Blofeld has been assigned "Number 2", while Emilio Largo is assigned "Number 1". This particular example of numbering was perhaps deliberately borrowed from revolutionary organisations, wherein members exist in cells, and are numerically defined to prevent identification and cross-betrayal of aims.

By deliberately drawing attention away from the true leader of the organisation, he was protected by masquerading as a target of lower importance, and the structure of the organisation was also obscured from intelligence services. Conversely, in the classic film series the individual's number indicates rank: Blofeld is always referred to as "Number 1" and Emilio Largo, in the film Thunderball, is "Number 2". Appearances In the original Bond novel series, SPECTRE 's first and last appearance as a worldwide power is in the novel Thunderball , published in 1961. In the novel, SPECTRE , headed by Blofeld, attempts to conduct nuclear blackmail against NATO. Temporarily weakened in the story's aftermath, SPECTRE is said to be active again in the next book, The Spy Who Loved Me , where Bond describes investigating their activities in Toronto before the story begins. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service , the second chapter of what is known as the "Blofeld Trilogy", Blofeld is hired by an unnamed country or party (though the Soviet Union is implied) to ruin British agriculture.

Blofeld's final appearance, sans SPECTRE Later, the John Gardner Bond novel, For Special Services introduces a revived SPECTRE led by Blofeld's daughter, Nena Bismaquer. Although Bond ultimately prevents SPECTRE from reforming, it continued, under the leadership of Tamil Rahani, to play a part in Role of Honour and Nobody Lives For Ever . The next Bond novelist, Raymond Benson , reintroduces Irma Bunt , Blofeld's assistant, in his short story "Blast From the Past", which is a sequel to You Only Live Twice. Classic film continuity Thunderball (1965) - Open-ended Trailer for this James Bond film In the EON Productions James Bond series, which began in 1962 with Dr. No , SPECTRE plays a more prominent role. The organisation is first mentioned in Dr. No as the organisation for which Dr. Julius No works. This was changed from Fleming's novels, which had Dr. No working for the USSR. In the films, SPECTRE as the main villains, although there is a brief reference to SMERSH in the second EON Bond film, From Russia with Love .

The film adaptation of From Russia with Love also features the first on-screen appearance of Blofeld, although he is only identified by name in the closing credits of the film. After being absent from Goldfinger , SPECTRE returns in Thunderball and subsequently is featured in the following films You Only Live Twice , On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever . Following Diamonds Are Forever, SPECTRE and Blofeld were retired from the EON film series due to a long-standing litigation case starting in 1961 between producer/writer Kevin McClory and Ian Fleming over the film rights to Thunderball and its contents. In 1963 Ian Fleming settled out of court with McClory, which awarded McClory with the film rights to Thunderball, although the literary rights would stay with Fleming and thus allow continuation author John Gardner to use SPECTRE in a number of his novels. Although SPECTRE and Blofeld are used in a number of films before and after Thunderball, the issue over the copyright of Thunderball, did prevent SPECTRE and Blofeld from becoming the main villains in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me .

Consequently, the producers chose to dispose of Blofeld (not identified by name, but bald and accompanied by the character's trademark cat), writing him out of the series during the opening sequence of For Your Eyes Only . Unofficial film In 1963 the producers of EON Productions , Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman had made an agreement with McClory to adapt the novel into the fourth official James Bond film. The agreement also stipulated that McClory would not be allowed to make further adaptations of Thunderball for at least ten years after its release. In autumn 1983, after almost a decade of development and complications, Warner Bros. finally released Kevin McClory 's unofficial James Bond film Never Say Never Again . Not considered part of the official Bond series, the film retells the story of Thunderball and reintroduces both SPECTRE Modern film continuity A Quantum "Q-insignia" lapel pin from Quantum of Solace (2008). Due to the embargo placed on the series as a result of the copyright dispute, the rebooted 2006 series introduced a new terrorist cell known as Quantum , which is later revealed to be a subsidiary of Spectre.

Starting with Casino Royale , it is revealed Le Chiffre and a reluctant Vesper Lynd are part of the group, serving under the mysterious Mr. White . Quantum of Solace elaborates the eponymous group, presenting Quantum as an amalgam of powerful business people and government operatives. It is worth noting that in the Bulgarian subtitles of Quantum of Solace, the name Quantum was translated as Spectre, with the title changed to "Spectre of Solace" ("Спектър на утехата"). On November 15, 2013, MGM and Danjaq, LLC announced they had acquired all rights and interests of the estate of the late Kevin McClory, who had died in 2006. MGM, Danjaq, and the McClory estate issued a statement saying that they have brought to an "amicable conclusion the legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically for over 50 years." [4] With the rights to Blofeld and SPECTRE in their posession, EON Productions officially reintroduced the organization into its rebooted film series with the release of Spectre in 2015.

Retconning the poorly recieved Quantum of Solace, the film placed Quantum as a subsection of the wider organization with Blofeld ( Christoph Waltz ) the mastermind behind previous films—including Raoul Silva 's vengeful rampage in Skyfall —taunting Bond with his previous failures and setting up a more traditional rendition of the Bond mythos for future instalments. Spectre presents the organisation as a conspiracy of legitimate businesses and organised crime, moving to become a private intelligence agency. Video games 01:00 Goldeneye Rogue Agent (VG) (2004) - Video Game As with EON's official film series, the 007 video game series was also affected adversely by ongoing litigation prior to 2013. To avoid possible legal action, several video games hinted at SPECTRE without explicitly referencing them or their leader. They are first referenced in GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004), where it is implied to be the "powerful criminal organisation" behind many of the game's events.

It is depicted as being much more powerful than any preceding iteration, possessing a massive undersea black market known as "The Octopus" (resembling Karl Stromberg 's lair from The Spy Who Loved Me), a main base of operations built into an extinct volcano, and also the personal structures of its members Auric Goldfinger and Dr. Julius No . In 2005, following actor Pierce Brosnan 's departure from the role of 007, Electronic Arts released a video-game adaptation of a previous Bond adventure titled From Russia with Love . Given SPECTRE 's prominence in the eponymous 1962 film, and the continuing dispute between United Artists/MGM and the now-deceased McClory, the organisation was renamed " Octopus " for the video game and appeared to lack a central leader in the same vein as Blofeld. The game features a recurring symbol which bears a close resemblance to SPECTRE 's classic film insignia: a simple octopus outline with semicircular eyes and blade-like tentacles.

With EON's acquisition of the rights to Blofeld and SPECTRE in 2013, a mobile video game titled James Bond: World of Espionage was released to tie in with the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. The game was the first to explicitly refer to the organisation SPECTRE SPECTRE equipment Cyanide cigarettes ( Dr. No ) - Cigarettes containing cyanide. Used by Jones , an operative of Dr. Julius No. In a bid to escape interrogation by Bond, he bites down on a cigarette and dies seconds later. Although it doesn't appear in the novel, Bond is sent a cyanide-laced basket of fruit by Dr. No. Garotte watch ( From Russia with Love ) - A wristwatch from which a wire garrote can be drawn. It is used by Red Grant to strangle a fake Bond as part of a training exercise in the opening scene. He later attempts to strangle the real 007 in the film's climax, only to have it turned against him. Later seen in On Her Majesty's Secret Service when Bond cleans out his office.

Dagger shoes ( From Russia with Love ) - A shoe with a retractable, poison-tipped blade concealed in the toe-cap. In the film the poison caused death within seven seconds. Dr. No, the novel's sequel, notes that the shoe spike was coated with the poison tetrodotoxin. In the film they were worn by SPECTRE operatives Rosa Klebb and Morzeny, whereas in the novel they were worn only by Klebb. Seen again in Die Another Day . Largo's remote control ( Thunderball ) - A remote control device disguised as a cigarette case. The device allows access to SPECTRE 's Paris conference room, concealed in the 'Centre international d'assistance aux personnes déplacées' ('The International Brotherhood for the Assistance of Stateless Persons'). Electric chair ( Thunderball ) - With the flick of a switch on Blofeld's control console, any seat can become electrified, killing its occupant. The seat then drops down into the floor, disposing of the dead body. Blofeld uses this equipment to execute No. 9, who he believes is guilty of embezzlement. Lipstick gas grenade ( You Only Live Twice ) - A gas grenade disguised as a makeup applicator.

While flying Bond in a light aircraft Helga Brandt catches the spy off guard by dropping the device, locking him in his seat and parachuting to safety. Within seconds the cabin is filled with a disorienting gas, leaving 007 fighting for his life in a pilot-less plane. Piranha pool ( You Only Live Twice ) - Blofeld's trap door that he uses to dispose of failures to his organization and unwelcome guests. Operated by a foot pedal concealed behind Blofeld's desk, part of the foot-bridge over the piranha-infested pool collapses, sending the unsuspecting victim to his or her death. Bo with retractable spear ( You Only Live Twice ) - Used by a SPECTRE assassin who infiltrated Tanaka's Samurai training school in an attempt to assassinate Bond. Blofeld's gifts ( On Her Majesty's Secret Service ) - Blofeld's gifts to the Piz Gloria girls; in reality they are transmitting devices which would enable the spread of his biological weapon. Voice algorithm recorder ( Diamonds Are Forever ) - Used primarily by Blofeld to disguise his voice as that of Willard Whyte.

Bond later uses a similar device (Courtesy of Q) to fool Blofeld into divulging Willard Whyte's loaction.

Bond has continued to use the Walther PPK in subsequent films, including SPECTRE. In SPECTRE, Bond "racks the slide" (loads a round into the firing chamber) at least twice just before going into action. An agent with Bond's experience would never have done that due to the features of the Walther PPx series, because, by doing so, he would have reduced his shot capacity by one. In all variants, (PP, PPK, PPK/S, etc.), the weapon has a bullet capacity of "X+1", which means "X" rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber, ready to fire.

For the PPK in 7.65 mm, the capacity is 7+1, not a large capacity by today's standards, so when Bond would have prepared his PPK well before any need to use it, he would have loaded the magazine with the maximum 7 rounds, racked the slide to put one round in the chamber, removed the magazine, and put in another round to restore a full 8-round capacity. Racking the slide does put the hammer back, making the weapon ready to fire, but when the safety is activated, a metal bar rotates over the firing pin and then allows the hammer to fall forward safely onto that bar, preventing its firing until the safety as moved to the firing position. Because the PPx series are DA/SA (double-action/single action), and are exceptionally safe when carried with a round in the chamber, hammer down, to go into action, Bond need only move the safety to "fire," pull the trigger double-action for the first shot which cocks the hammer and fires, then each subsequent round would be single-action because the hammer would be back, ready for the next shot.

Like the previous film Skyfall , Spectre was written by John Logan , Neal Purvis and Robert Wade , is directed by Sam Mendes and features Daniel Craig in his fourth performance as James Bond. [1] The film was released in the UK on 26 October 2015 and worldwide on 6 November 2015 in regular and IMAX theatres. It continues a story arc which started in Craig's first three films: Casino Royale , Quantum of Solace , and Skyfall. In the film, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. 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 . [2] The film's title is derived from the criminal organization Spectre , which was prominent during the original Bond films and several Ian Fleming novels.

The organisation's logo, an octopus, is also referenced in the official teaser poster. Contents [ show ] Plot During the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico city, James Bond kills two men arranging to blow up a stadium before shooting a briefcase containing their bomb. In doing so, the building they are in explodes and collapses. Bond gives chase to Marco Sciarra , who survived the blast and, in an attempt to escape, boards a helicopter. Bond follows and in the ensuing struggle he throws both Sciarra and the pilot out of the helicopter, while in the process, stealing Sciarra's band ring, which has an octopus symbol on it. Bonds actions are revealed to be him working on the unofficial orders of the previous M to kill Sciarra and attend his funeral. On his return to London Bond is indefinitely taken off field duty by the current M, who is in the midst of a power struggle with Max Denbigh (also known as his code name 'C'), the head of the newly created Joint Intelligence Service, which consists of the recently merged MI5 and MI6. C also wants to create the "Nine Eyes" intelligence co-operation agreement between nine countries, and close down the '00' section in the process.

Bond disobeys M's order and travels to Rome to attend Sciarra's funeral. That evening he visits and seduces Sciarra's widow Lucia , who tells him about a criminal organisation to which her husband belonged and where they are meeting that evening after he rescues her from assassins. Bond enters the meeting by showing the ring, where he sees the head of the organisation, in shadow, chairing a meeting. The head mentions the events in Mexico, and mentions Bond by name, turning to face him as he does so. Having been recognised, Bond escapes the meeting and a car chase through Rome ensues, with Bond in a Aston Martin DB10 pursued by Mr. Hinx , in a Jaguar C-X75 and who is an assassin for the organisation. Moneypenny acts as a source of information for Bond, and informs him that a reference he heard in both Mexico and the meeting will lead to Mr. White , a former member of the Quantum organisation which is revealed to be a subsidiary of the Spectre organisation. Bond also asks for a check on the name Franz Oberhauser , revealed to be the name of the meetings head chairman, who Bond recognized might be from his past.

Bond travels to Austria to find White, and finds him dying of thalium radiation, which was planted on his phone. Bond wins his trust by disarming himself of his weapon after discovering White has a daughter, Dr. Madeleine Swann , that he is protecting from the organization. Bond promises to protect her from them before White tells him Madeleine can lead him to L'Américain, which will in turn lead him to the organisation. White then uses Bond's gun to shoot himself in the head. Bond finds Swann at a secluded Austrian clinic where she works, but she is snatched by Mr. Hinx. Bond chases the kidnappers by plane, and forces their three cars to crash, before he makes his escape with Swann. The pair then meet with Q, who reveals that Sciarra's ring contains digital files linking Oberhauser, the leader of the organisation, and Bond's three previous missions. Swann then informs them about the name Spectre, and that L'Américain is a hotel in Morocco. The couple travel to the hotel and stay in the suite her father used to stay in every year.

Bond discovers White had built a secret room full of videotapes, charts and photographs, as well as maps and co-ordinates of where they should go next. They travel to the nearest point a train will go, but are again attacked by Mr Hinx. After fighting and nearly killing them both, Hinx is flung off the train by a rope, leading to Swann and Bond having sex. At the end of the journey, they are transported to a facility in the desert, where they are met by and held prisoner by who Bond thinks is Franz Oberhauser, the son of the Hannes Oberhauser , Bonds temporary foster father, who was murdered. While drilling into Bond's head and nerves with mechanical probes, Oberhauser also informs him that C is part of the Spectre organisation, and he feeds all the intelligence data straight to the criminal organisation. Oberhauser then tortures Bond and reveals that the name Franz Oberhauser was what Bond and Hannes called him but his real name was actually Ernst Stavro Blofeld. He secretly named himself while Bond stayed with him and he took in his mother’s bloodline.

He faked his death 34 years ago to be recognized as his real name and to avoid legal trouble after he murdered his father, Hannes. Bond and Swann escape with the help of Bond's exploding watch, destroying the facility in the process. Back in London, Bond and Swann meet M, Bill Tanner , Q and Moneypenny, and they travel to arrest C and stop the launch of the Nine Eyes programme. En route they are ambushed and Bond is kidnapped. M and the others escape and proceed to wait for C in his office, arrest him and shut down Nine Eyes before it launches; in an ensuing struggle, C is killed. Bond has meanwhile been taken to the old MI6 building—derelict since Silva's attack in Skyfall—but he disables his captors before entering the building. He meets Blofeld - who was ferociously marred in the explosion where Bond escaped earlier on - who tells him the building is rigged to explode in three minutes and that Swann is hidden somewhere within it. Bond finds her and the couple escapes by boat out onto the Thames. They chase Blofeld—who is in a helicopter—and shoot it down; the helicopter crashes onto Westminster Bridge.

Bond comes close to executing Blofeld but then lets him be arrested by M and leaves with Madeleine. The next day Bond retrieves his old Aston Martin DB5 from Q and drives off with Madeleine. Film history Pre-production Shortly after Skyfall premiered, pre-production on Bond 24 began. Bond franchise staples Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson returned as executive producers and EON Productions , MGM and Sony/Columbia Pictures returned as production companies. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment secured the rights for home distribution. With Daniel Craig under contract for two more Bond films, MGM and EON Productions hired Skyfall writer John Logan to pen Bond 24 and 25 as a two-parter, to film simultaneously and release in 2014 and 2015. [3] Immediately after Skyfall Mendes had shown interest in directing Bond 24 but passed in March 2013 in order to focus on his stage work. [4] MGM, EON, and Mendes continued to meet and plan the future of the Bond franchise and decided to abandon the two-parter concept and push back the release of Bond 24 to 2015 to accommodate Mendes' schedule.

[9] In an April 2014 interview with Charlie Rose, Sam Mendes revealed that Bond 24 would be a "continuation" of the character stories he began in Skyfall, namely the new characters' (M, Moneypenny , Tanner , and Q ) relationships with Bond and each other. [5] On June 27, it was announced that Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were hired to polish the script, specifically to "punch up the script and sprinkle in more gags" and improve the banter between Bond, Moneypenny and M. Some reports indicated the re-write was more significant than originally planned. Due to the re-writes, production was pushed back to December 6 2014 with the same hopeful autumn 2015 release date. [10] [11] In November screenwriter Jeremy "Jez" Butterworth was hired to do a final polish of the script, which reportedly did not affect the filming schedule.
