Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment presented a live announcement and photo call from the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios.
Principal photography begins on Monday, December 8th with shooting taking place over the next seven months at Pinewood London, Mexico City, Rome, Tangier & Erfoud, Morocco, Sölden, Obertilliach and Lake Altausee, Austria.
SPECTRE writers are John Logan, Neil Purvis and Rob Wade.
The crew is Director of Photography Hoyte Van Hoytema, Editor Lee Smith, Costume Designer Jany Temime, Stunt Coordinator Gary Powell, 2nd Unit Director Alexander Witt, SFX Supervisor Chris Corbould, VFX Supervisor Steve Begg, Production Designer Dennis Gassner and Composer Thomas Newman.
The announcement was streamed live at www.007.com.
The world famous 007 stage at Pinewood was built in 1976 for the Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. After a search across Europe, the Bond producers failed to find a stage large enough to house the three submarines the scene required, so they decided to build a new stage and tank specifically for that film.
The 007 stage remains one of the largest sound stages in the world. James Bond is the longest running, and one of the most successful franchises of all time, with twenty-three films produced and the twenty-fourth about to go in production. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli succeeded Albert R ‘Cubby’ Broccoli and have produced the past seven Bond films together, including the highly successful, Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace and Skyfall.
All of the James Bond films have been made in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios or United Artists, its predecessor.

UPDATE:
Just Jared scored a few more pics on this, which we’ve added further below.
We’ve seen some set pics of ‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ before now, most of them showing Nic Cage and Jay Baruchel walking around a New York Subway. Three months, two vehicles, and a Sbarro later, we are here to bring you the first, official pics from the film. Most of them feature co-star Monica Bellucci doing her best impression of a Disney princess. One of them, seen above, features Cage and his latest, inspired hairstyle.
