Daniel Craig will reprise his role as the world-famous secret service agent James Bond in the upcoming 24th installment of the "James Bond" franchise. 

The new 007 film is reportedly breaking new records in franchise history, including the highest recorded production budget that is set at $300 million. It will also feature the oldest Bond girl — 50-year-old Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci is set to portray the role of Agent 007's love interest. 

Telegraph earlier reported that the plot for the new "Bond" film will compel the iconic agent back to his past. According to the article, a mysterious message from the agent's past will require him to go on a journey to unveil the dealings of an ominous organization. Bond will have to find the truth behind "SPECTRE." 

The upcoming "James Bond 24" movie is currently being filmed in Rome, where Craig, Bellucci, and the other cast members and production crew are constantly spotted. 

Luxury car maker Aston Martin reportedly created a brand-new, special supercar called the DB10 that the secret agent will be driving along the busy streets of Italy. Bond will also drive other special luxury cars, including a Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR, as well as a Land Rover Defender Bog Foot. 

Meanwhile, Bellucci acknowledged that she might be a little different compared to the Bond girls that appeared in past 007 films, but she refuses to be called "old." According to the actress, she would rather be called a "Bond woman" or a "Bond Lady" as she portrays the role of Lucia Sciarra. 

In an interview with Event magazine, the Italian actress said, "Compared to the Bond girls who have gone before me, I am so much more mature." 

"James Bond 24: Spectre" will allegedly grace the big screen on Nov. 6.
