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.
