The design was all new but it used the chassis and engine from their V8 Vantage. The DB10 was manufactured by Aston Martin exclusively for EON Productions. Moneypenny's visit to Bond's flat was re-filmed at the end of the shoot, removing the presence of another woman in Bond's bed. Several of the key locations, including Morocco, Austria, and London are held in common with Timothy Dalton's 'The Living Daylights'. "SPECTRE" marks Rory Kinnear's third appearance as Tanner, making him the most frequent actor to play Bond's friend and M's chief of staff. Mendes credited Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil" (1958) for the inspiration for the shot. A 'skeleton' set was built on location so Craig could move smoothly from interior to exterior. The fourth shot sees Bond exiting the window and walking along the rooftop. The third shot takes over when Bond and Estrella arrive at their hotel room, the interior of which was shot at Pinewood. The second shot – filmed on location in Mexico – follows Bond up the stairs and into the elevator. The first swooping intro picks up Bond in the streets of Mexico City and follows him to the door of the hotel. The opening shot comprised of four separate shots strung together by ILM in post production. The film is also the first time that Jez Butterworth gets a 007 screenwriting credit, having previously helped Mendes polish dialogue on 'Skyfall'. Around the same time, the filmmakers also considered but then rejected the possibility of a two-film story arc, presumably involving Blofeld. Regular Bond scribes, Purvis and Wade, were expected to have departed the franchise with 'Skyfall' but when the producers were unsatisfied with Logan's drafts, Purvis and Wade were recruited again. The plot was devised by John Logan in consultation with Sam Mendes. Many in the press assumed that the title was not an acronym and wrote it in title-case: 'Spectre.' However, the title treatment on the EON/Sony marketing consistently wrote it with capitals. Bond fans know that SPECTRE is an acronym for Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. The organisation's name is mentioned only twice in the film, once when Madeleine reveals the name of the organisation to Q and Bond in Austria and once when 007 reports to M in the London safe house. "SPECTRE" is left ambiguous in its meaning. This opened the door for the use of the name/organisation SPECTRE and its head, Blofeld. In November 2013 Danjaq announced that it had acquired all the remaining James Bond rights it had not previously held from the McClory estate.
