A little disapointed that Scotland is not being used but I guess this will do as a double for Scotland

I’m pretty certain this is Skyfall and it’s the building of a manor house that’s convinced me.

The original report that talked about the location hunt in Scotland, said they were looking for a dilapidated manor house or castle. I suspect that the script really called for the rundown manor house but they thought that a castle would do if a suitable one couldn’t be found. Ultimately, they’ve decided to go for the manor house even if they have to build one themselves.

I could see some kind of raid/attack on the manor house with Bond leading the way as this is the finale....it could be very exciting

Very interesting, it is likely they will film a stunt scene tomorrow! Starring Daniel Craig!

A film crew has hired the roof terrace of my office on Sat and Daniel Craig will be jumping off the roof, presumably for the new Bond

I understand that she works in Canary Wharf:

Why are the clouds over Canary Wharf at such a weird angle?

I'm trying to figure out where is her workplace. My guess is the One Canada Square. Can anyone verify?


Whatever happens, it will be without DC, as he is in Manila to visit his wife for the weekend.

Makes sense as Rachel Weisz is currently filming The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner in Manila at the moment..

If Bond was filming in Canada that would have been HUGE. And I didn't even hear about it.

From what I understand Daniel Craig was in Manila the last weekend:

http://www.interaksy...-bond-from-naia

"Craig’s weekend Manila visit had been the subject of speculation by local media but nobody knew his travel schedule until his mysterious arrival Saturday night, unnoticed even by airport authorities".

markgerald Mark Gerald Urbano
@RyanSeacrest Rachel Weisz and other actors of Bourne Legacy are filming here in Philippines, and Daniel Craig spotted also here.
14 Gen

Am I wrong?

There have been tweets about him in Manila starting 3 days after Rachel got there., but this is at least a proving picture and I doubt, he went there 2 weeks in a row. So, I think, this weekend is the right one.

Hmm.. the article mentioned that Craig arrived on a flight from Hong Kong... Could it be that he was in transit from Shanghai ?? hmm.. "What we want is a location fix on 007...Number 10 is making ugly noises about Operation: Skyfall!"

I assumed you knew about the square Dom and that you were trying to have a laugh ;) Never took you as an idiot, more of a humouristic genious. See what I did there? See?

PS: I´m an idiot, nevermind...

Still, it´s interesting that they´ve come back to said location right? It´s been mind boggling how this production has kept things so secretive.

God, that must be tyresome. Traveling all those long distances. But he does have the missus to have fun with when he arrives ;)

If this is the finale, why would he be confronting Finney? Javier Bardem is the primary villain - we don't even know what role Finney is playing.

Besides, one could argue Bourne has done that.

Exactly. Going by the reports that emerged when Finney was announced, he plays a character who is effectively M's boss. And while he could no doubt make life difficult for Bond, it doesn't automatically make him a villain.

Interesting, if Finney is M´s supperior and Fiennes is M replacement (as it has been confirmed by a very good forum source), will they share common interests? Just stuff to think about...elaborate away Cap ;)

I think we'll find that Finney is someone connected to "Skyfall" (whatever it might be), and sets himself up in M's territory to try and keep his name out it.

And Fiennes? I suppose he could be the new M, but as a "internal affairs" kind of agent like you said a while back.

PS: Finney and Fiennes sounds like a cartoon. Never mind...

In that case, I'd say Fiennes is an unwitting agent of Finney - brought in to conduct an internal review of MI6, unaware that Finney has an ulterior motive: for Fiennes to find whatever he can to discredit M. Fiennes would eventually work out that he is being used.

Nice, maybe Fiennes outsmarts Finney, thus beginning a relationship of mutual respect with 007.

"The firm wants to shoot on Mynydd y Llan on the Black Mountain in Carmarthenshire for three months, building a chapel and a manor house.
A final decision will be made by park authority members on 20 January.
The agent for the film company says spending of more than £1.4m locally is possible"

Financial problems you say? Where? The´re bulding their own chapel and manor house!!

And even then, I don´t think he´ll be your typical, run of the mill villain. Given his comments at the press conference, I´d say we´ll be able to identify or at least feel some empathy towards his reasons or goals.

Bardem is much more than a villain in Skyfall - he is The-Villain-of-the-Piece as described by Sam Mendes.

But not really a bad guy per se, if we take his words to the letter (Bardem´s). "Who told you that a villain is a bad person?"

Oh, I wouldn’t read too much into what was said at the conference in that way.
That and the “He’s just misunderstood” line, well, I think it was a bit of humorous irony for those who’ve seen the script. They all laughed after all. A bit like saying, “That Joseph Stalin, he was just so misunderstood.”
