I assumed it was a sunset, overlooking the ocean. I could be wrong, though.

Looks like a nuke going off.

Prob'ly insnae.

That was my initial reaction. That it's a nuke, that is.

Same here. I'm seeing a fireball, not a sunburst. I recall that there was a nuclear explosion in the original screenplay for "Thunderball." I really doubt they've recycled that, but at this stage there's no way to tell.

[Vauxhall]

The only problem I'd have in envisaging it as a nuclear blast is the fact that it appears to happen so late on in the movie. I think they'd struggle to resolve the plot if that had just happened. I think it's probably a fireball/explosion, but probably just the normal damage we'd expect from a set piece Bond finale!

Why nuke the Highlands?

Why nuke the Highlands?

Shock and awe to target the Loch Ness Monster is the only thing I can imagine really.

[Pussfeller]

Would it spoil the gritty realism to include a cameo by a CGI Nessie bestridden by a lycra-suited Alex Salmond?

The Moonraker novel ended with the detonation of a warhead, didn't it? Bond and Gala reprogrammed it to follow its original course. And TSWLM ended with twin nuclear explosions.

[Skudor]

Good point by tighty - this could be a re-routed nuke. Away from London, hitting the highlands instead.

I believe other large explosions can also have fire balls, so I'm not saying this is a nuke. But it does look like one to me.

There are submarine pens in Scotland - perhaps there's a link to that.

They never showed some action in the clapper board pics, so IF this seriously is something else than the crew waiting for the sunset it has to be a quite convincing set design.
Btw, the ground is snow on a meadow.

Forgive me. I have been away from CBn for the past few days and I far from doubt you Vaux, but where did Scenes 68, 137 - 165 come from!?

The call sheets

[Captain Tightpants]

Yeah, there was a leaked call sheet that Marketto posted.

[DamnCoffee]

Oh yes. I've manged to see them!

Fantastic stuff on there!

[Royal Dalton]

165. Silva pursues M and Kincade on Scottish moor

Who's Kincade? Albert Finney?

[Vauxhall]

165. Silva pursues M and Kincade on Scottish moor

Who's Kincade? Albert Finney?

I think so. Nothing confirmed on the call sheets, but Finney would make most sense.

[DamnCoffee]

[Luigi Ferrari]

If I understand correctly, the order of the scene 165 is slightly different:

Silva's Man fires a flare and sees M and Kincade / Kincade helps M to safety / Silva is excited as he sees M and Kincade/Bond runs and kills one of Silva's Men - Scene 165

@Mharkin:Could you also add scene 42: Bond arriving at the Mi6 underground bunker as it was previously suggested by Shrublands?

[Vauxhall]

Silva's Man fires a flare and sees M and Kincade / Kincade helps M to safety / Silva is excited as he sees M and Kincade/Bond runs and kills one of Silva's Men - Scene 165

Was about to post the same thing. Agreed.

[Captain Tightpants]

165. Silva pursues M and Kincade on Scottish moor

Kincade could reasonable be anybody - even Severine. For all we know, she could be Silva's girlfriend, who Bond successfully turns over the course of the film to become an informant.

[The Shark]

Severine Kincade. Doesn't sound right.

Franco-Scottish? Nah.

[Captain Tightpants]

Yeah, it does sound awkward. But the point is that it could conceivably be anyone.

Ironically, my theory that "Skyfall" is an off-the-books MI6 operation that was covered up pretty much calls for Kincade to be Albert Finney, since he would be one of the ones in on it.

[The Shark]

You're aware that SKYFALL's now proven to be the name of Bond's ancestral home?

[Shrublands]

Well, it has proven to be the name of that house.

[SecretAgentFan]

Kind of a weird name for a home. Then again, maybe nothing out of the ordinary.

"Hey, welcome to SKYFALL!"

"Thanks, but you have to visit us next week in our nice little ARMAGEDDON!"

"My aunt has recently purchased the wonderful END OF ALL LIFE-estate. You really must see that!"

"Is that the one in Mayan architecture?"

[The Shark]

Well, it has proven to be the name of that house.

Almost didn’t go back to Hankley today, but I’m glad we did, as I had an interesting chat with one of the crew who told me some plot stuff. Apparently the lodge is Bond’s Scottish family home. So not a monastery at all, rather an ancestral seat. According to him, the chapel is going to have the gravestones of Bond’s grandmother and other family members, and that’s where Bond takes refuge after the lodge gets blown up.

That’s what this builder said, he may know the script, he may not. But the only think I see as 'proven' is the name of the house. The same chap also said that it’s a replica of an actual house in Scotland - which it is not. This is something that MI6 is pedalling, because they have mistakenly thought that it is intended to be that lodge in Glencoe that we saw a photo of when they filmed near there.

It’s my theory that the house belongs to Kincade, (Albert Finney seems the most likely candidate) hence his appearance in the story here and is pivotal to the villain’s plan.
I think it might be likely that Bond was born near here and the grave bit is true.

[Vauxhall]

Kincade could reasonable be anybody - even Severine. For all we know, she could be Silva's girlfriend, who Bond successfully turns over the course of the film to become an informant.

Sure, but I don't think it's Severine, as she is referred to only as "Severine" on a different part of the call sheet (under the rehearsals section, from memory). Given the numbering of the character as #7 on the sheet, it seems reasonable to assume it's one of the main cast - Fiennes or Finney are the only ones we don't really know their character names, and we believe Fiennes had finished filming at this point, so I'm plumping for Finney.

Very nicelly constructed that. You´re probably right.

I think she's supposed to be Chinese (or half-Chinese). So, Kincade's not a very likely surname. Unless her father's Scottish, or something.
