The cast of "Spectre" took the promotional tour of the latest James Bond installment to Mexico City on Sunday, where some of the film was shot.

The Mexican capital kicks off "Spectre" with an opening chase sequence in the historic heart of the city amidst a colorful parade.

"Mexico City became a very obvious choice when we started talking about it ... It had many things but especially that we could re-create a Day of the Dead ... a sort of mythical celebration that was going on," Bond actor Daniel Craig said in an interview on Sunday.

"Mexico City opened its arms to us and we had thousands of extras who were put through full make up, full costume every single morning, came to set and were the most enthusiastic bunch of people I've ever had the pleasure to work with."

The film is directed by Sam Mendes and was filmed in March in Mexico City, one of several locations.

The film opened in Great Britain on Oct. 26, and is set to open in the United States, Canada and the rest of Latin America on Friday.

Spectre also features Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman, who Craig called a "beautiful actress, really good actress."

He added, "I think she plays a very memorable part in a very memorable scene".

"Spectre" is Craig's fourth reprisal of the 007 role, and his second with director Mendes, after 2012's critically acclaimed "Skyfall".

"My favorite part is the creative process and I get the chance to work with some incredibly talented people," Craig said.
