‘Miss Bala’ Star Stephanie Sigman Cast in ‘Spectre’ as Another Bond Girl
Stephanie Sigman, best known for her portrayal of the title role in Gerardo Naranjo's thriller film Miss Bala and for her role as Eva in the FX TV series The Bridge, is a late-minute addition to the cast of MGM's Spectre, the twenty-fourth in Eon Productions' James Bond film series franchise, which is currently already filming and is set for release to theaters on November 6. MGM and Sony today announced that Sigman has signed on to play a mystery character known only as "Estrella."
Directed by Sam Mendes from a screenplay written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade based on the original works of Sir Ian Fleming, Spectre will re-introduce viewers to the global terrorist organization first seen on the screen in 1962's Dr. No - S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (or Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion).
Daniel Craig stars as Agent 007 for the fourth time - following 2006's Casino Royale , 2008's Quantum of Solace and 2012's Skyfall. Ralph Fiennes, Rory Kinnear, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Jesper Christensen will also be reprising their Skyfall roles as the new M, Bill Tanner, agent Eve Moneypenney, quartermaster/gadget man Q, and Quantum's head Mr. White, respectively. The new additions to the cast include Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, David Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Christoph Waltz as Franz Oberhauser, and Andrew Scott as Denbigh. Bond's new car for the film will be a silver Aston Martin DB10.
The logo of the Spectre organization, an octopus, is implied in the crack pattern of the glass with a bullet hole shown in movie's first official teaser poster. According to the studio's synopsis, 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.
