Director Sam Mendes has announced the 24th James Bond movie, which begins filming next week, is to be called Spectre.
He made the announcement at an event staged at Pinewood Studios where he also outlined further details including naming Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci who will become Bond girls.
Oscar-winning Austrian actor Christoph Waltz will play a villain in the film while Andrew Scott, best known for his role as Moriarty in BBC1's Sherlock will join the cast as one of 007's Whitehall bosses.
Bond will once again be driving an Aston Martin, this time a DB10. Movie fans saw a previous Aston, his vintage DB5, was blown to pieces in Skyfall.
The film is named after the shadowy terrorist organisation created by Bond author Ian Fleming which first appeared in his novel Thunderball.
