James Bond producer Michael G. Wilson has revealed that latest instalment Skyfall will have a "magical 1960s feel".
Wilson teased that the upcoming 23rd Bond movie will channel 1963 classic Goldfinger to create a "very special" cinema-going experience.
"The director Sam Mendes and Daniel [Craig] are taking it back to a '60s feel - more Sean Connery," he told The People. "I think that's what the fans wanted.
"There's a magical Goldfinger feel surrounding it all. It's all very exciting. I can't wait for people to see the movie because I think we're making a very special Bond."

Wilson added that he hoped to organise an event featuring all six Bond actors - Connery, Craig, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan - to mark Skyfall's release and the franchise's 50th anniversary next year.
"We'd really like to get all six together," he said. "We're trying to find a way for fans to celebrate with us because they've been the reason the Bond films have been the success they have."
Skyfall is due to hit cinemas on October 26, 2012.
