Are you ready to once again visit the cast and crew on the set of the latest James Bond adventure? Sony Pictures takes fans directly into the action as shooting continues, this time on location in Rome. This second in a series of video blogs focuses on director Sam Mendes, who made his indelible mark on 007 with 2012's Skyfall. Now, he takes on one of Bond's most iconic villains in Spectre.

In this all-new Bond adventure, a cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Spectre. Now, we get to see some of this story in action! Director, Sam Mendes says:

"The reasons I'm doing the second Bond movie are the reasons I would do any movie, really, which is all to do with the story.  And in this movie, Spectre what you have is a movie entirely driven by Bond.  He is on a mission from the very beginning. It's about whether or not to pursue the life he's always pursued, whether he matters and is he going to continue or not.  And you're going to have to come to see the movie to find out whether he does."

This new behind the scenes footage features Daniel Craig as James Bond 007 as well as cast members Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw. We also have a new photo of director Sam Mendes.
