Daniel Craig back as Bond in dramatic London river filming

Daniel Craig turned heads in London on Monday (12Dec14) when he was spotted careering down London's River Thames on a high-powered speed boat as he filmed scenes for the new James Bond movie.

The actor has reunited with Skyfall director Sam Mendes for the latest installment in the spy franchise, Spectre, which began filming this month (Dec14).

Craig has now been spotted back in his role as Bond, sailing along London's River Thames as he filmed scenes on a speed boat.

In WENN pictures, the actor was seen braving the winter weather and spray from the water in a black suit as he stood next to fellow actor Rory Kinnear, who plays secret service mogul Bill Tanner in the film. The boat was also seen whizzing past the real life MI5 headquarters on the banks of the Thames.

Spectre is due for release in 2015.
