Just read where Forster had confirmed Arterton...or thought I had, it's confusing.

Nope--no confirmation on her yet.

Hopefully we'll all know soon enough...

I love it when casting information starts coming through.

I think Leiter will only be in Panama, in a similar size role to in Casino Royale. I like the character, but I don't necessarily want him in all the Craig Bond films.

What makes you think that Dave? I am most curious about what they will do with the South American scenes and General Medrano.

That aside, I feel very, very sorry for the people that did not enjoy CR. They will most likely be disappointed with the whole Craig era.

Agreed. CR was a disappointment, IMO, and Bond 22 and Bond 23 will most likely follow that trend.

I think that I'll make this my last post in the forum, as I have no intention of seeing the new film, and I feel as though I've derailed the discussion in this thread when the beginning of filming is something that everyone should be excited about. My apologies.

Rumor on another forum is that Daniel Craig will be filming today at an apartment building called The Water Gardens.

Nice... Craig can do a lot of damage in that place!

Sorry to hear that. Just fits the saying... you can't please everyone.

Well that appears to be a fairly nondescript London apartment building. I wonder what the Bond producers are wanting this to be used for? Perhaps Bond's home...

Maybe; if you have a look on Google maps you can see it has a nice set of modernist Water Gardens between the tower blocks.

As Sean said in Thunderball... "Well, ya cant win em all" :/

Hmmm interesting idea, but it seems unlikely, it looks like a Coucil Estate, the exact opposite of Bond would live.

Thanks, just checked that out. Also discovered that there is another more modern development, also called The Water Gardens, at the Surrey Quays in Canada Water. Are we sure that the filming is at the Burwood Place location?

No; it's a sixties luxury block. The flats in it can cost over a million.

Well the guy on ajb said Burwood Place W2 and got the name of the flats wrong (he said Waterfall) so I'm more inclined to believe it's the W2 one. Also because Surrey Quays is a bit naff and not very cinematic London.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. It is my hope that the tabloids will have picked up on the fact that Daniel Craig is out shooting BOND 22 on the streets of London and get a photographer down there. Hopefully some photos may turn up in the morning papers!

[marktmurphy]

I'd look at Germanlady's thread for that!

It has been confirmed that Arterton is in Bond 22 though not the extent of her involvement.

Remember Minnie Driver (an up-and-coming actress in the early 1990s) had the bit part of a Russian country singer in GoldenEye.

Where was this confirmed?

As much as I enjoyed Wright as Leiter -- I confess to being a fan of both -- I was kind of hoping he might "sit this one out" and return in the third Craig film. My concern is that he's simply being chucked into the mix for the sake of "continuity", rather than a logical inclusion based on the plot. I hope he rates a larger part in this one -- and we get to see some Bond/Leiter bonding moments...

I don't agree that he's just being thrown in for continuity. Remember his role in CR ended on something of a loose end. He was supposed to take Le Chiffre into custody... but then he just disappeared.

I don't get that feeling either. I think that they're bringing Leiter back because they have a terrific actor in the part with Jeffrey Wright, and to not include an actor of that quality when you have the chance to wouldn't be the right way to go.

I agree with you about the talent of Jeffrey Wright (see my original post). My concern is that he'll simply do another extended cameo as in CR. Including an actor of that quality and not giving him anything to do wouldn't be the right way to go either, in my opinion... Buy, hey, I haven't read the script, so it's all supposition at this point.

[Scamp]

Once filming starts do they work 7 days a week or just Monday to Friday? As it is the first week of the sales in the UK they probably won't be continuing to film in london this weekend so they may appear elsewhere today if they continue filming.

I wonder what the team are up to today!

[Vauxhall]

I wonder what the team are up to today!

If they shoot on Saturdays, then I think they may be at Pinewood. I was actually quite surprised to see them out on location in London so soon. It was my previous belief that they liked to get some studio scenes shot first to ease everyone into the production. As far as we know, is Panama to be the first overseas shooting location?

[DamnCoffee]

I think so, We are all hoping for a press conference in the next week or so, So I think they will be heading abroad ASAP.

In the past they have often shot second unit stuff first.

Yeah, that is very cool. Can't wait to see some Panama location photos.

I think they were indoors, in Pinewood studios.

The ones of Miss Kurylenko are pretty satisfactory instead, in my opinion.
