I was on the tracks of 007 in Istanbul and I found this:

What are the odds that they have already shot some scenes in Istanbul? Feel free to speculate!

The picture was taken on October 30th 2011. I'm not the one who took the photo, so I can't guarantee that it refers to Skyfall.Do you know if there was a 2nd unit filming in Istanbul before Skyfall's press conference?Luigi Ferrari, are you sure this was for SkyFall ? When it was it?

Hmmm, there's nothing to guarantee that it is for SkyFall. If it was I would certainly expect a larger crew. It could be anything.
True, there's nothing to prove it, however if it were for Skyfall the crew would be small. The date is early for the official start of principal photography, so that would make it one of the small, brief shoots they do early for set-up and linking shots which don't require any of the main cast or crew.
How many films are shooting in Istanbul right now, with suited extras and such?

At this stage I think it's impossible to know anything about the details of the screenplay really. Good find on the photo though, it could definitely be from a small bit of shooting for Bond. No way to tell yet however.

The only similarity is the anti-traffic bollards lining the pavement, which only really tells us that the buildings in both photos are in Istanbul. So I would say the vote is still out on whether this is legitimate.

Taken 2 is currently filming in Istanbul, so it's possible this could have been it, maybe someone heard it was "a spy film" and assumed it was Bond.
