THE highly-anticipated new James Bond film Spectre will be released on Monday and it promises all the classic action Bond fans are used to – and you could win tickets to see it.

The actor admitted that, despite a five-film contract (which means one more Bond, people), he did not want to make “Spectre” without Sam Mendes, the director of “Skyfall”, who originally said no to more Bond.
Media captionDavid Sillito looks at the initial reaction to the latest Bond film, Spectre.
“Nothing”, was his delayed response when asked what James Bond can teach us about our day-to-day lives. Still, Craig has made a point of separating himself from the character, a feat perfectly exampled when the interviewer drops this absolute corker: “And this time you’ve gone one better, showing 007 succumbing to the charms of an older woman”.
Craig might come off as cranky, but he’s actually making a few salient points.
Two-time Oscar victor Christoph Waltz, French actress Lea Seydoux and Italy’s Monica Bellucci also appear in the 24th official entry in the long-running series.
He said: “I’ve had my right shoulder re-constructed, my right and left knees operated on and my thumb hurts!” I just don’t know.
“I’m quite straightforward and I say things when I feel it and then I change my mind”, he tells the BBC. It was a terrifying moment when I thought they were going to have to shut down while I had it. We were right into it by that point.
If he does bow out, it seems like Daniel Day Lewis is the current 007 favorite, with Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender close behind.
He’s already pocketed more winnings from gambling than any other Bond – in fact so lucrative was his win in Casino Royale (the name does give it away), the rest of the Bonds collected just a fraction of Craig’s prize money… combined.
We wish the adorable pair good luck for the awesome relationship they share and for all their future endeavors.
