"SPECTRE" VLOG FEATURES DAY OF THE DEAD FESTIVAL - Behind the scenes in Mexico

The latest "SPECTRE" (2015) vlog focuses on filming the opening sequence set during the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico City.
“I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment. It’s the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there’s colour and detail and life. We’ve built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing,” says Director Sam Mendes.

Roger about marrying Luisa: "I was simply numb through the whole thing. It was the best moment of my life. Signing the register felt to me more dramatic than any of the stuff I had been sending up for years. Signing my biggest contract was like giving an autograph compared to it. The wedding luncheon at the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington, had about 120 guests and they were all fully aware of what it meant to us ... For our honeymoon - one of our many honeymoons - both before and after - we went to Cannes for the Film Festival."
