The first teaser trailer for the new James Bond film "Spectre" has arrived and it's surprisingly low-key. There are no explosions, car chases, train chases, motorcycle chases or foot chases on offer. It only hints at violence, culminating in a single gunshot at the end.
The trailer carries a dark, ominous feeling throughout, but gives very little away. Assuming you skipped reading the leaked "Spectre" script from the 2014 Sony hack, most of what we know about the new film can be boiled down to this summary from 007.com: "In SPECTRE, 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."
Spectre is a familiar name to Bond fans. It stands for "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion" and represents a global organization of criminals and terrorists featured prominently in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, as well as earlier Bond films.
The trailer should give Bond lovers some thrills. Keep your eyes peeled for the ring with the Spectre logo on it. "You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Bond," says Mr. White, a liaison for the criminal organization Quantum. Mr. White is played by Jesper Christensen, who appeared in the same role in the earlier Bond films "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace."
All will be revealed when "Spectre" opens in theaters -- starting with the UK and Ireland on October 23, and opening in other countries thereafter, including the US on November 6.
