#SPECTRE FILM BEHIND MOVIE#

In Ian Fleming's novels, SPECTRE was primarily a commercial enterprise led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Originally conceived of as a small group of professional criminals in the novels, SPECTRE became a vast international organisation with its own elaborate facilities and operations in the film series.Ĭomparison of Fiona Volpe's octopus insignia ring from Thunderball (1965), with Marco Sciarra's one from Spectre (2015).

SPECTRE is not aligned to any nation or political ideology, enabling the later Bond books and Bond films to be regarded as apolitical. When introduced in 1961, the organisation effectively replaced SMERSH as Bond's primary antagonist. After a four-decade absence from the film series made by EON Productions, the organisation was reintroduced in the twenty-fourth Bond film, Spectre (2015) and reappeared in the twenty-fifth, No Time to Die (2021).

Led by 007's nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the organisation first formally appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and subsequently in the movie Dr. SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion), stylised simply as Spectre in its 2015 film reboot, was a fictional global criminal and terrorist organisation featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming and their EON Productions and non-EON film Never Say Never Again. ' SPECTRE is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members.' ― Ernst Stavro Blofeld
