Livestream report: SPECTRE, new Aston Martin DB10 and Monica Bellucci

On December 4th, 2014, the Bond producers and cast gathered in the famous 007 Stage on Pinewood Studios to announce the title of the new Bond film. The title is SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) the famous villain organisation from earlier Bond films. A very special new Bond car was revealed, the never seen before Aston Martin DB10, Bond's car for the new film.

At 10.50 GMT presenter and DJ Alex Zane gave an introduction to the Bond series, while the world tuned in on the YouTube livestream. On a black stage, an Aston Martin, covered in a black sheet, could be seen, and Alex Zane promised to reveal which car Bond is going to drive in Bond 24. Read the report and watch the stream at the end of this article.

There were only photographers present in the 007 Stage, no journalists, and there was no time for questions.

After the introduction, director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli took the stage at exactly 11.00 GMT. The stage where “budgets come to die”, as Mendes said.
