Sam Mendes is directing the film, "with 'Skyfall' writers John Logan, Neil Purvis, and Rob Wade also returning," The Hollywood Reporter noted. Newcomers to the production team include editor Lee Smith (of "Interstellar" and "The Dark Knight" trilogy) and Hoyte Van Hoytema ("Interstellar" and "Her") as the director of photography.

According to E!

It is a fictional terrorist organization featured in "James Bond" novels and was first introduced on the big screen in 1962's "Dr. No," The Hollywood Reporter added.

The latest Bond car was also unveiled during the event in Pinewood Studios. The 46-year-old actor's iconic character will drive an Aston Martin DB10. Craig first played 007 in 2006's "Casino Royale," then in 2008's "Quantum of Solace," and lastly, in 2012's "Skyfall," E! Online added.

According to the news outlet, "Spectre" is set to film in various locations across the world including the Austrian Alps, London, Mexico City and Morocco. Principal photography will begin on Monday.
