Clopin wrote a mail to me saying that this is a photo from an Ice Hotel somewhere in Scandinavia. I checked this and I found that site: http://www.expressen...le.asp?id=94378


I saw this exact image, sans your watermark :), on the same article you mention - linked from Kimberly Lasts's site:

Sorry, I should have put two and two together earlier and warned you.

Tim, are you sure that photo is of a Scandinavian hotel?

While I don't understand Scandinavian, I can see the words "Agent 007" and "James Bond" many times on the page.  It even says "filmen" and "Sean Connery" on there as well.  Are you sure this photo is unrelated to Bond 20 then?

In case it is a photo of the real thing, I think it looks cool (excuse the pun).  Reminds me of the days of YOLT... the villain's lair set in a volcano....



Hey! Since I'm from Norway I just wanted to confirm that this is an Ice hotel. I think it is in Sweden. Let's hope the villains lair will be a good one this time.

Reports are suggesting the "Ice Palace" is based on the famous ice hotel. It looks like a magnificent structure and if located in the middle of a frozen wasteland, would make for an exotic HQ for the archvillain.

Yes, I'm sure it is the Scandinavian Ice Hotel. I heard about it some times in the past, it's a hotel which is re-build every winter.

Yes, it's an article about Bond 20. I don't can speak Swedish, but it's similar to German. And in the lines under the picture there is the word "f

Sounds to me like the manager of a certain Ice Hotel (which my perries have visited the one in question) has spotted a good PR opportunity and released pictures to the local press.

48 hours later and we're all assuming that these are shots of the set, or at best, clues as to what they are up to.

My money's on a cheapo advertising stunt.

I just posted something along this line of thinking in another thread.

A little scary, thinking like Jim. :)


Go lie down in a darkened room and listen to soothing whalesong.

Not that this will do any good, but it'd be funny to watch.

FORGET IT

I WAS SPOOFED!

Clopin wrote a mail to me saying that this is a photo from an Ice Hotel somewhere in Scandinavia. I checked this and I found that site: http://www.expressen...le.asp?id=94378

I don't know why my source did this. I can't explain. I don't know why. All the infos until now were right: Halle Berry, Rick Yune, the date of the press conference...

I could cry... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
