From news reports:

"Olga Kurylenko has spent the last three weeks learning how to fight, fire a weapon...

...and body fly (a form of indoor skydiving)."

Predicted back in June! :tup:

Nice hit! :tup:

I'd probably have opted for outdoor-chess. :tup:

Whoa awesome! Missed that particular detail. Wonder how they'll fit this into the plot.

Almost makes me wonder if somebody at EON reads CBn forms and "borrowed" the idea. It could happen. I'll keep telling myself that... :tup:

Looks very interesting.

This video is well worth the download.

I think a director with a vision for action could make great use of that setting to create a very intense fight scene, Binyamin.

Hey, it's always possible that they're doing another "fighting for parachute" sequence, or some other sequence in which someone would need to fight in freefall. Just saying. :tup:

Possibly, but the article clearly says "body fly" and "indoor skydiving." It seems clear it's going to be in a wind tunnel.

As I mentioned in my original post back in June, it could easily be special operations training, or something Bond or Camille do for recreation.

We'll have to wait and see!

Possible, but it's also the most likely way for an actor to train for a skydiving or simulated skydiving scene...

I have done it. Heh. They have one in Las Vegas. It's a lot of fun, but if you're a first timer, it might not seem as thrilling as in that video. It's really hard (esp. if you're not in shape) to try to move your body the way they do in the video. But still, even the beginner's course is a lot of fun, and is worth doing, if you happen to be near a location that offers the indoor skydiving. Can't wait to see how they use it in the film, if it is going to be used.
