Bond gets steamy in Sam Smith video

A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE. In NZ cinemas on November 12.

The video for Sam Smith's Bond theme, Writing's On The Wall, shows a very steamy scene from the upcoming film Spectre between Daniel Craig and leading lady, Monica Bellucci.

Craig, who plays the suave ladies' man in the 24th James Bond movie, has the Italian actress pinned to a mirror in a plush-looking room complete with chandelier.

The stars kiss as Smith sings his number one song Writing's On The Wall.

Craig then traverses snow in mountainous Austria to get to French actress Lea Monday, in direct contrast with his steamy scenes with Bellucci.

But it's not all iciness for Seydoux as both she and Craig are also seen in the desert and embracing on what appears to be a train.

The official video comes just days after the release of the final trailer for the movie which shows Christoph Waltz in full-on bad guy mode as, Franz Oberhauser. He utters some chilling one-liners to the hero.

"I thought you came here to die," he tells Craig.

Meanwhile, Smith's song has become the first Bond theme to reach the number one spot in the UK charts.

• Spectre will be out in New Zealand cinemas on November 22.
