THE 24TH JAMES BOND ADVENTURE WATCH LATEST VLOG FROM THE SET OF SPECTRE ON www.007.COM

At 6.30pm India Standard Time tomorrow, Thursday, August 13, the latest vlog from the set ofSPECTRE will be released on www.007.com.  Featuring Léa Seydoux and Monica Bellucci, as well as director Sam Mendes, the footage gives viewers a glimpse of the roles these actresses play inSPECTRE.

Sam Mendes said, “In SPECTRE, the two women who Bond hooks up with, both have great mystery, they both have depths and for that you need fantastic actresses.”

Regarding her character, Léa Seydoux said, “She’s a doctor, she’s intelligent and very sensitive…”

About her character, Monica Bellucci adds, “She’s an Italian widow with secrets.”

New images from SPECTRE will also be released tomorrow. 

SYNOPSIS:

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal.  Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. SPECTRE is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, from a script by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth.

SPECTRE is set for release in the UK on October 26, 2015, and in India in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on November 6, 2015.

Milan Luthria to contest RWITC elections

Director Milan Luthria is all set to contest for a managing committee seat at this year’s elections of the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) to be held on September 8. He will be part of the panel led by former chairman Vivek Jain.

Along with Luthria, other members of the Jain panel are Geoffrey Nagpal, Zavaray Poonawalla, Gulam Vahanvaty and Champaklal Zaveri. The introduction of E-voting this year will make the voting process easier for 1800 voting members from Mumbai, Pune Bengaluru and elsewhere 

If elected this year, Milan and his team members (mentioned above) want to restore the RWITC to its past glory as the premier racing centre in Mumbai.

On his association with RWITC, Milan says, “I am a horse lover at heart, and have been a regular racegoer at the RWITC for over 25 years. Over the last few years, I have owned race horses with trainer Imtiaz A. Sait. Last year I was nominated as a Steward, but resigned mid-way through my term. It was an unprecedented move as many consider this a prestigious and free ride. Several ideological differences with the other Stewards made me take this bold step applauded by many seniors in the racing world. In a political landscape where many choose to duck an issue rather than stand up for their beliefs, I chose the latter.”

His vision and experience for RWITC makes Milan the ideal candidate for the post of the committee member. He explains, “Last year has been one of the most controversial and disappointing ones in the history of the RWITC. Our team wants to bring the Club back on track, sort out serious issues pertaining to sponsorship, owners, stables, labour, the Mahalaxmi Race Course lease, the Gallops issue, and above all clean and fair racing with no favours and false promises.”  

Milan shares a great rapport with most RWITC members. “I know several members since childhood as very few know that I have been an avid rider, Gymkhana winner and Steward, and a keen racegoer for long. I have been fortunate in many members making a connection with me after my resignation, to congratulate me. To sum up, there is no part of the race course I have not been exposed to, from the stables, to the track, to the weighing room and the Stewards Room.”
