Sam Mendes, the film’s director greeted the royal attendees on the red carpet, ahead of one of the most highly anticipated Bond movies in recent memory – widely expected to be Daniel Craig’s last.
Film stars mingled with royals at the world premiere of Spectre on Monday, marking British secret agent James Bond’s glitzy return to the silver screen. Prince William arrived wearing a black tuxedo while Kate was dazzling in a blue Jenny Packham evening gown with sparkly belt and Jimmy Choo shoes. Earlier this month, he told Time Out London, “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists….All I want to do is move on”.
Mendes, who won an Oscar for “American Beauty” in 1999, said: “We sweated blood over it and I’m outrageously excited and a tad bit mitigated”.
Craig is joined on the cast list by a mix of new and familiar faces as Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista, and Léa Seydoux star, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomie Harris are reprising their roles as M, Q, and Eve Moneypenny.
The 24th instalment in the 007 franchise is the third Bond film chosen for the Royal Film Performance since its inception in 1946, following previous premieres for Die Another Day in 2002 and 2012’s Skyfall. “They wanted her to be a modern reinvention of the character, so I didn’t feel as though it was helpful to look back”.
“Should I make another one or not make another one, I’m proud of the four I’ve made”.
The 39-year-old actor admitted the responsibility of being in a Bond film felt overwhelming, saying: “The first couple of days were definitely intimidating”.
“Mendes said he was pleased the people were also getting to view the movie”. “I think they love playing with that line, but I think neither of them would ever cross it”.

“I think it’s important for actors in a few way to maintain a degree of mystery, but I think it can be used for great good and can be used in a very productive way”.
