New SPECTRE video heads to Day of the Dead in Mexico City
James Bond is heading to Mexico City for the Day of the Dead in the opening scene of SPECTRE.
Sony have released a new vlog to show how Sam Mendes and his costume, hair and make-up crews have been getting 1000+ extras camera-ready.
It certainly looks as though there will be a striking visual flavour to the sequence, with the extras kitted out lavishly in traditional make-up and outfits. And a giant skeleton floating overhead is always eye-catching…
“I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment,” says Mendes. “It’s the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there’s colour and detail and life. We’ve built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing.”

SPECTRE opens in the UK on 23 October 2015, before opening globally on 6 November.
