We are mere weeks from the release of the latest James Bond installment, “SPECTRE,” which opens in the UK at the end of this month and in the US and other territories in early November. Sony and MGM have been steadily teasing fans with previews, trailers and featurettes, and the time has come for one final big tease.

The final trailer for the film has been released, and as always, is available in full and in HD at the end of this post. At long last, it sees Daniel Craig’s James Bond come face to face with Christoph Waltz’s villain Franz Oberhauser, which he swears isn’t an alias for the infamous Blofeld.

They exchange typical 007 banter (“I came here to kill you.” / “I thought you came here to die.” / “Well, it’s really a matter of perspective.”), but we also get plenty of new shots at the impressive action scenes, which are said to have turned “SPECTRE” into the most expensive movie ever made.

Most stunts were made with practical effects, with creator Sam Mendes insisting that, with this film franchise, what you see is what you get - and not some CGI trickery made possible with a green screen and a computer.

“SPECTRE” also stars Monica Bellucci, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw. Here’s a taste of what you’re to expect when it opens in theaters.
