Naomi Harris lying about not being MP*, Mendes lying about plot, secretive production, pulling out of locations, ...., this is all very interesting indeed. Very hush-hush.


*Kidding about this one of course, but still, could be true.

Rule 1: Directors lie.

He seemed to genuinely want to shoot that one down.
Rule 2: Directors are not actors. (well, he isn't).
He always strikes me as a man of intelligence and taste – why would he introduce something so crass and soapy?

Oh Mendes is quite the showman. He may not be an actor, but he could pull it of very nicelly. The man´s theatrical.

Anyway, I just don't believe the family home stuff. I have more faith in them than that.

They would need to pull it off in a way that my imagination cannot take me to, in order for me to accept that level of crassness. Keep Bond's parents and general family out of the plot. No harm in minor reference etc. - but it cannot form any part of the plot, it just doesn't work.

Exactly.

Naomi Harris lying about not being MP*...

My brain just warped your post improbably: Helen McCrory as Clair Dowar MP - Clair Dowar MoneyPenny!

For the record: I'd like to issue a disclaimer to the effect that I, in no way, think that's actually the case.

A Bond and M buddy-cop movie? Is it possible?

I don’t trust this one, they made their first ever Tweet one minute before seeing this all happen. In fact they have only ever made 4 posts and 3 are about this rather dramatic sight. They also follow various Bond related things on Twitter – what a coincidence that they should open an account just in time to see all this.

The stunt sequence they were shooting on Saturday is being finalized , I suppose. Do you remember the rumours that Daniel Craig was expected to jump from a Range Rover to a Jaguar during the first day of shooting?

It’s a hoax, see my above post.

[DamnCoffee]

It does seem a little fishy. But you can't completely debunk it as a hoax. It's entirely possible. I'm sure you have to follow loads of stuff before you actually can post on twitter, now. My friend had some trouble with it a week or so ago. Maybe they followed all the Bond stuff because they were 'in the moment'.

You could be right, I won't trust until I find a confirmation from other Twitter accounts. Sounds strange to me though, as that is the way I had imagined the whole sequence was expected to be.

Where are our agents when we need them? Can anyone go to Smithfield Market?

I'm pretty sure this is on the money.

We can all pretty much surmise that Bond will be getting M to safety at some point, and that a chase will ensue with them in a car/Range Rover. And it's probably going to end in some confrontation, so this is where the armed guards come in, i'm guessing.

And they’re close enough to the action to hear the dialogue, in spite of crashing cars and burning Range Rovers. Then this dialogue turns out to be like something made-up by a rather brainless, over zealous, teenage fan.

We also know that the Range Rover drives into the underground tunnel, M is in another car. It’s not an action sequence. I’d bet money on it.

Perhaps not an action sequence to begin with, but a 'getting M to safety sequence' which inevitably leads to some sort of chase. I'd put Moneypenny on it.

[Luigi Ferrari]

They're Kidding us,guys! The Sequence featuring 007 in the Range Rover is a day shot, not a night shot.

[Matt_13]

The dialogue is a bit sketchy.

Well to be fair, a time lapse could occur in the film attributing to the change in the time of day, so that isn't out of the question. It's just....now this getting to be a bit suspect. It's the definition of overkill from one source, soo....

[Shrublands]

People do understand that this sort of thing is filmed as a series of shots sometimes with hours of set-up time between them. However, some believe that all this was filmed in real time in the space of 15min or so, with the actors in the thick of it. How incredibly gullible.

Gunfire. Screaming and Daniel Craig pretty much smacking a guys face off a car bonnet. Bond is back. #Skyfall

New Skyfall movie filming in Smithfield now! Daniel Craig just fought off 5 armed guards. Love this guy. Bless Judi cowering next to a car.

Everyone just sang the Bond theme to Daniel and Judi when they walked past. They both laughed and said they love Bond fans!

It might very well be a hoax, but in all fairness. If I was there and randomly saw Daniel Craig filming the new Bond film, I probably would make a twitter account because i'd like to update everyone instantly. Also, maybe these people have had their twitter opened for ages and haven't really been bothered to post anything, This is a massive thing, at the end of the day.

[Matt_13]

It is a hoax, they both convieniently use the same photo and both convieniently set up accounts just as the action is heating up? This isn't the real deal guys, time to give it a pass.

You do understand that they do not film all this sort of thing in real time. Dan on top of a moving car, it crashing, it catching fire, Dench beaten and bleeding, a dialogue exchange, a fight, etc, etc…
They are elaborate set ups with hours between shots. They would never shoot it all so that observers could watch it all unfold as if watching the finished film. These Tweets are written by a child who has no understanding of how a film is made.

[DamnCoffee]

Yes. I do...

Saying that though.

Jonathan Gray @JonathanGray10
I've been standing for 4 and a half hours, just watching this. I'm sorry but Daniel Craig whizzing past at 2pm kinda draws your attention.


So ummm, apparently the car scene was at 2 this afternoon (I'm assuming it's the Bond on top of car scene), so the other tweeter might've tweeted that, insanely late.

[Shrublands]

Whoever it is also reading this thread, they are starting to answer my criticisms, but over on Twitter. How fascinating.
