I'm wondering the same thing.
How will this set back production of Bond 22?
It wouldn't.
Even if there is any indication of the 007 stage being used, or any Pinewood stages being used, if they could get the stage up in 3 months for AVTAK in 84', basically months before they were due to lense, then if the Bond 22 production is to start shooting in May next year, for six months' shooting, they have, max, a year and a half to get a stage up.
Dead easy.

On the subject of the schedule for BOND 22, has there been any mention of whether they will be filming predominantly in Prague again? If the producers were still considering whether they may return Pinewood, I suppose this may make their decision for them.
A very sad turn of events.

Anyone else notice that the all the press coverage has said the film is to be released in October rather than November?BBC radio news just confirmed that filming on Casino Royale has finished, and the blaze is not expected to affect the movie's release date.

You know, that same thought first went through my mind as well. Even the pic of the charred, caved-in stage looked the same as 84.When I first saw this on the site, I thought it was a look back at that day in 1984.

I think they agreed to shoot in a studio on Germany and that they could return to Prague and Pinewood like in Casino Royale for Bond 22, so there won't be a lot a problems to get Bond 22 in time.

Take this with a large pinch of salt (for Bond has weathered worse crises before, such as the last-minute change of location from Vietnam to Thailand on TOMORROW NEVER DIES), but The Sun claims that production of BOND 22 (which the paper says has a start date of August 2007 - first we've heard of it, I think, but it seems believable enough given the May 2008 release date) "will almost certainly be delayed" due to the fire.
There's also a brief mention in The Currant Bun ofSpoilerNothing major, that, but a little nugget of info, and something in the film I don't recall being discussed online.
Shouldn't this be in the spoiler forum

Bad news about BOND 22 if it truly is likely to be delayed. According to latest reports I heard this lunchtime, several glum looking EON executives have travelled to Pinewood today and are holding meetings. I guess details of a delay to BOND 22 would be released over the course of the next week.

Technically, yes, I suppose so. I'll edit my post to put it in spoiler tags. Perhaps you could do the same with your quotation of my post.

Perhaps this is what offered the initial part of the fire triangle.
(The Sun is just being its usual sensational self about delays - as above, far worse has been weathered)

Putting it's rich history aside for one second, wasn't the building nothing more than a giant corrugated metal shed with a water tank in it? Surely it won't take them long to rattle another one up....i mean we aren't exactly talking about The Duomo or Notre-Dame here!
Yeah, it's essentially 4 walls and a tank. It took them 4 months to rebuild it last time, but they probably used the same plans since it was only 7 or so years old. They may want to update that now, maybe make it bigger.
On a sidenote someone should edit the building set video on the official site. Make it go backwards and put some fire effects in there. I look forward to that video on the official site

Never confirmed this, but doesn't it sound like the Cubby we all knew?
Happy for two things:
- Nobody hurt.
- CR had already wrapped.
Also, given soundstages today, a new and improved 007 stage could be a very cool thing. Still, broke my heart to wake up to the news yesterday.

Now on the CBn main page...
Eight fire engines tackle the blaze
Cause of fire yet to be confirmed
Not sure where to put this (but move this if needs be), but I suppose it's still just about relevant to CASINO ROYALE. There's a massive fire at Pinewood Studios, and the 007 stage is ablaze. More information here:
BBC News website
Sky News website
Well, at least they are done with filming, for the mean time. Hopefully it will be repaired for Bond 22. I'm sure it will be.
