Compare to the previously seen MI6 bunker...

Compare to the previously seen MI6 bunker...

Yes.


“When MI6 comes under attack” well, they move operations to that underground bunker. I’d thought that the bomb on the tube was just that or a diversion, now I think it’s another attempt to get directly at MI6.

[Vauxhall]

SKYFALL likely to be a tale of Jaguars, trains and tunnels then. I expect that we won't end up remembering it for that though!

Yes.

When they started building the London Underground, they had to abandon the original tunnel, because they dug it too close to the Thames and it was a flood risk. Now, what if that tunnel later became this MI6 bunker?

Scene 54K.

Bond in the MI6 bunker, by the look of it.

[Vauxhall]

Agreed. Looking less dishevelled than when he arrives at the bunker initially, so presumably this is shortly before he's dispatched to Shanghai.

With a prince of wales suit. Very cool, very Goldfinger. One hopes he´ll be meeting with Q at that point.

[Royal Dalton]

The National Gallery scene must take place somewhere around this point in the film. Possibly just afterwards. I think Ben Whishaw is supposed to be in that scene, as well. So, perhaps Bond meets him there?

[Vauxhall]

Good thinking. It's indeed the same outfit as Bond is wearing when he leaves the National Gallery after meeting Q: http://www.dailymail...all-London.html

Scene 72. Macau casino.

[DamnCoffee]

Sorry, I've been away for a good few days, and I thought I'd bring this thread back into the public eye again.



Scene 8? Confirming the Istanbul sequence as the PTS?

[Royal Dalton]

Yep. We've also got scenes 77 and 79 on the yacht from Macau.

[Vauxhall]

Roughly, I expect SKYFALL to pan out as follows:
Istanbul - London - Shanghai - Macau - Hashima - London - Glencoe - London.

That all seems fairly concrete now.

[Matt_13]

Has it been confirmed that part of the film will include a flashback to the 70s? Or was that simply based on that clapperboard image of an old school schematic?

I think that was just speculation. I've seen nothing to suggest there will be a flashback personally.

[Royal Dalton]

That's a screen in Silva's control room, I think. Maybe showing an old MI6 computer file?

[Shrublands]

Yep, as far as I can tell, there is nothing to suggest flashbacks.

How cool would it be if the underground Q-lab would exit through a...say...painting on the wall of the National Gallery? What?! Too Roger Moorish? Eyebrow? Cmon, it´s Bond.

Perhaps the hidden door should exit into Roger Moore's house. As Craig passes through Moore's study, he winks at a surprised, eye-browing raising Moore, then steals a grape from a bowl of fruit. A couple of nice anniversary nods there.

If we want a really classy and niche Bond reference/homage, the painting could be Francisco Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington... (In fact, I really like this idea!)

Love that idea! I suppose Moore than says "This never happend to the other fella!"

Going to be very interesting seeing how this film pans out, seeing how close we've been able to get...

I do too - very, very much!

[Royal Dalton]

Me three. It's a very Bondian idea. Using the Duke of Wellington portrait would be a nice touch, too.

[JCRendle]

scratch that

That all seems fairly concrete now.

I think I understand now, I just had to play around and put these two quote forumals together, also added what might be the Istanbul scene. Awesome posts, thanks Mharkin and Vauxall!

JAMES BOND WILL RETURN

[Vauxhall]

Roughly, yes - plus the 'Hashima' scenes between Macau and the London underground chase.

I'd add that I don't believe we actually see Bond's flat; I think the scenes filmed in Chelsea are actually the exteriors of M's house from earlier in the movie (probably around the time of the attack/funerals).

[Royal Dalton]

Also, after the titles, there'll be some scenes with Bond emerging from the water and being given some TLC by 'Beautiful Woman' and that nighttime beach scene.

I expect that'll be intercut with the London attack to some degree. There'll probably be some stuff with Silva in those early scenes that we don't know about yet, as well.

Good point, I can imagine a juxtaposition of scenes between the attack on MI6 / Bond engaging in some fierce beachside rumpy pumpy / M attending the funerals.

[DamnCoffee]

Scene 18? The establishing shot of MI6 HQ is Scene 19. Looks like the end of title sequence opens up on MI6.
