The upcoming James Bond film titled "Spectre" has added another actress to its stellar cast.
The film's official Facebook page announced the news, saying that Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman will join the cast of "Spectre" portraying a character named Estrella. The brunette beauty previously starred as the lead in the 2011 Academy Award nominated flick "Miss Bala" and in 2013's "Pioneer." Her work in television includes FX's crime series "The Bridge" and "Narcos." No further details about Sigman's "Spectre" role have been announced yet.
Cinema Blend pointed out that Sigman hasn't had any major experience in English-language productions. "Spectre" is the actress' biggest project as of this moment.
Sigman will star alongside the likes of Daniel Craig as the iconic James Bond or Agent 007, Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser (Bond's German-accented foe), Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott, and Monica Bellucci, Forbes reported. Cinema Blend noted that Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, and Naomie Harris are also in the cast.
Scott, known for portraying Moriarty in the BBC series "Sherlock," will play as MI5 employee Denbigh, The Hollywood Reporter stated. Bellucci and Seydoux are the new Bond girls, portraying the roles of Lucia Sciarra and Madeleine Swann, respectively.
"Spectre" will once again be directed by "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes, with screenplay written by John Logan, Neal Purvis, and Robert Wade, ComingSoon.net reported. The flick is slated for release on November 6, 2015.
Just recently, BadTaste.it compiled a number of video clips from the set of "Spectre" in which a car chase in Rome was being filmed. The shoot was previously delayed due to the city officials' refusal to grant the producers authorization. According to Entertainment Weekly, the scene would pass the Quattro Fontane, or Four Fountains, but the structure was fragile and was undergoing restoration at the time.
Fans of the popular franchise should also expect to see two brand new concept cars in the movie -- the Aston Martin DB10 and the Jaguar C-X75. According to the The Cheat Sheet, the former will be driven by Agent 007's adversary.
The "James Bond" movie franchise is popular for using "rare and exceptional vehicles from the world's top auto makers" as an advertising method. The Cheat Sheet noted.
"Spectre," which is an acronym for Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, is a fictional global terrorist organization led by the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Coming Soon explained. It's unclear whether the character, which was first known in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, will appear in the new film.
The trailer for "Spectre" isn't here yet. A featurette, however, has been released. Check it out below.
