Along with the official title of the film, Spectre, Bond 24's cast was unveiled, confirming Christoph Waltz, David Batista, and Lea Seydoux, and revealing the newest additions of Monica Bellucci and Adam Scott, who is best known as Moriarty from the British TV series, Sherlock.
A brief synopsis was included at the press event: 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.
At this point I will say that if you haven't seen previous James Bond movies, especially from the 1960s, then this is your spoiler alert. I will pose my idea of when the film will take place in the 007 timeline based on the above poster.
Still here? Okay then, let's get rolling.
At first glance the poster simply looks like a bullet hole through glass, but on closer inspection it seems the cracks in the glass form tentacles. It is similar in design to the SPECTRE logo that members would wear on a ring. It looked like this:
If you group the above picture along with the final image from the sixth James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, you might see where I am going with this theory. The image I am referring to is this:
Prior to the announcement this morning, it was rumored that Christoph Waltz would be playing Bond arch villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Bringing Blofeld back to the series could pose a few continuity problems, but the image from the poster for Spectre leads me to think the events of the movie will take place following the death of Tracy. How SPECTRE is involved in the plot I couldn't say, but the broken glass that looks like the SPECTRE logo has to mean more than just a cool design for a poster.
