Meeting the Author

No more teases: The first full trailer for the latest James Bond outing, SPECTRE, is here.

Daniel Craig, of course, is back as 007 in director Sam Mendes’ follow-up to Skyfall, and the film promises to be everything that 2012 blockbuster was and more.

The new preview offers a glimpse of Bond girls Monica Bellucci and Léa Seydoux that contextualizes their roles some (the former seems to be the mysterious-type conduit to a larger-looming conflict and the latter a damsel in distress with many a useful skill to our hero...), as well as what appears to be the first meet between Bond and Christoph Waltz’s maybe-Blofeld Oberhauser, the villainous man who claims to be the author of all of good ol’ James’ pain.

Mmm.

Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw – the new M, Ms. Moneypenney, and the new Q, respectively – are also seen and heard, which is not quite the same case for newcomers David Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Andrew Scott.

SPECTRE will be in theaters on Nov. 6.
