“Because it’s an iconic movie, known all around the world, it’s nice to see this enthusiasm and to see that (the movie) touches, in a way, all cultures and all generations”, the French actress said.

“Poverty is so rife here, £13 million is a life changing amount for so many communities”, Mr Jurez added.
The more that comes out about Daniel Craig and his time as James Bond, the more we’re starting to realise that it must have been bad on set.
This bodes well for its North American opening which is said to hover around $80 million, but it will be a tall order for “Spectre” to hit the $1.1 billion worldwide total of its predecessor given that “Skyfall” opened during the United Kingdom jubilee and the 50th anniversary of James Bond movies which surely goosed box-office sales.
In the Netherlands, Spectre grabbed 3.3 million Euro ($3.7 million), surpassing the record set by Skyfall and bringing its cume to $3.9 million including previews.
However, ranking the first three Daniel Craig Bond films makes for an interesting debate.
Directed by Skyfall film-maker Sam Mendes, Spectre – which also stars Christoph Waltz, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Andrew Scott, Dave Bautista and Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci as Bond girls – sees Craig’s MI6 agent alter-ego confront enemies of his past.
But in an interview with the Mail on Sunday’s Event magazine just days earlier, he was more equivocal. People can argue all they want over who the best Bond actor, Bond villain or Bond girl is.
The story follows Bond as he tries to uncover the existence of a terrorist’s organisation called Spectre.

In Spectre, James Bond uses every trick in his considerable arsenal – speed seduction, daylight assassinations, exploding watches, cars with ejector seats – to take down the furtive crime cartel SPECTRE. “I think this film is very much about the empowerment of Bond”, says Broccoli, “and with Daniel portraying the character, he does this with such enormous integrity that we really feel what he is going through, emotionally as well as physically”.
