Final 'SPECTRE' Trailer Shows Bond Facing Off With His New Nemesis

The final trailer for the new 007 thriller SPECTRE has just landed online, providing an explosive culmination to the movie’s long race to theaters.

In it, we get the part droll, part dangerous confrontation between James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), the Nehru-jacket wearing baddie who’s the mastermind behind the movie’s title criminal organization. “I came here to kill you,” Bond says. “And I thought you came here to die,” says Oberhauser. “Well, it’s all a matter of perspective,” replies Bond with a smirk.

It’s an enticing moment, made all the more delicious by its obvious echoes of one of the most famous exchanges in the 007 movie canon. (”Do you expect me to talk?” asks Sean Connery’s Bond in 1964’s Goldfinger. “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die,” says the movie’s gold-obsessed villain.) For a movie that appears to be paying all kinds of homage to Bonds past, this may be the neatest callback of them all. 

Elsewhere in the new clip, we’re treated to sweeping scenes of a city skyline, an Alpine locale, and a desert hideout, as well as fast cuts from the already publicized car chase through Rome and the Mexico City Day of the Dead shootout. (We also get a glimpse of a new sequence that shows a besuited Bond’s uh-oh moment when a collapsing building almost crumbles on top of him.) SPECTRE, directed by Skyfall’s Sam Mendes, follows our favorite superspy as he tries to untangle his own connection to a nefarious criminal organization that has a long history in Bond lore. We’ll see if he cracks the plot when the movie hits theaters on Nov. 6.
