Peter Lorre Weekend Bill : The Face Behind the Mask (1941)

SPECTRE News : Jesper Christensen is Mr. White again!

Although he was not revealed to the world's press on 4th December along with Waltz, Seydoux, Bellucci and others, it was more quietly confirmed this week that Jesper Christensen would be making a return to the franchise.

The actor who plays the aloof and dangerous Mr. White in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace" first spoke to the Danish press, saying, "It is a truly exciting script and a very capable team. So it'll be fun".

His return will have Mr. White outdo some of 007's old nemeses - such as Jaws - and become the rarity that is the same actor portraying the same villain in three (or possibly more) Bond films.

SPECTRE press release

James Bond Producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli today released the title of the 24th James Bond adventure, SPECTRE.

The film, from Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed by Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his fourth film as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.
