I don't think I'd want to read them. And after the film's released, I cannot think of a more useless piece of paraphernalia to have on hand.

Film crew getting ready in Glencoe? - see below tweets...


@landscapes365Landscapes 365

Is the new James Bond film the 23rd? There are "23" film unit and location signs in Glen Etive & at Glencoe Ski Centre. Is Bond in Glencoe?

@Nobby74 Yellow 23 Base, 23 Loc at the Glencoe SkI Centre & 23 Loc at Glen Etive. It's way too freezing, wet & windy for star spotting :-)

Great job Nobby, well done!

Totally agree. The price is astronomical if you consider that the money is spent on something that will be usable for 2 months or even three.

Thanks for the infos, Nobby007. Once again , great work.

[Shrublands]

“Whitehall Place at the junction of Northumberland Avenue” is very interesting, this is close to the entrance to the Embankment Tube, and we know that signage at Charing Cross was changed to read Embankment. Whitehall Place leads to the DECC building…

If this can help, I managed to read in one of the call sheets posted by Vauxhall the following:

Friday 3rd February 2012
#... ext-Whitehall Office
#... ext-Whitehall Office
#... ext-Whitehall Office

If I understand correctly, the building located at 10 Trinity Square will be double for a Whitehall Office in the finished film.

I was also able to read in another call sheet the words "Shanghai Office Atrium".

[Shrublands]

I was also able to read in another call sheet the words "Shanghai Office Atrium".

We know that one of the sets at Pinewood is a Shanghai office on the 63^rd floor – Shanghai has only 2 buildings tall enough for that to be in, one being the Jin Mao Tower which has a famous and spectacular atrium

[marktmurphy]

I just saw a 23 filming sign myself; just about a mile away from work, which is fun. I think it's from filming a little while ago, but fun to see nevertheless.

[BourneAgainBond]

you think bond will throw bardem down that atrium?

[SecretAgentFan]

Or, from the looks of it, the Emperor!

[BourneAgainBond]

Or, from the looks of it, the Emperor!

haha i can see bond being beaten up by bardem and M stepping in to throw him over

[Pussfeller]

Probably not Bardem, given the order of the Shanghai scenes in the film, but surely a henchman (or sacrificial lamb) will take that plunge.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

A reminder that they look set to film at Vauxhall Bridge this weekend. The TFL road closures are due to be in place from 6am tomorrow. I'm going to try and get down there Saturday and/or Sunday.

What's the weather like? My US newspaper says there's a forecast for snow in London. Has last weekend's snowfall melted?

It's cold, but most of the recent snow has now melted, and I don't believe anything substantial is forecast this weekend. If there was any remaining in the area, I imagine it wouldn't be too much and they could shovel it away.

[SecretAgentFan]

Why don´t they use the snow for a little ski chase?

[Vauxhall]

A ski chase through central London would certainly be novel!

[SecretAgentFan]

And very Bondian!

[Skudor]

I'm guessing Bardem will be mostly Turkey based - sort of fits.

[Vauxhall]

Lee Caswell on Twitter:
"Filming James Bond Skyfall at 6.15 am. Villain, car chase in central London. Sounds cold but fun."

[007jamesbond]

Hope someone can get some footage if it is possible! Photos will be nice too

[marktmurphy]

Local news report about the Scotland filming (about 14.30 mins in) including a set builder maybe letting a plot point slip! Whoops!

[Vauxhall]

First rumour of the day is that they've been filming at Thames House (aka MI5 HQ) this morning. I don't want to read too much into that until we get further confirmation really. That might just be someone jumping to conclusions based on the fact Millbank is closed today and there's a film crew in attendance; that could just be their preparation area.

[Luigi Ferrari]

Worth a trip to Battersea Power Station?

Hollie Welch @HollieWelch
Trying to work out what they are filming at Battersea Power Station AKA our backgarden. Bf thinks Bond.... Here's hoping!

Sightings of DC outside the Tate Gallery here:

Avue Darien-Gordon @DarienGordon
Being over shadowed by daniel craig filming bond outside the tate... Not pleased... But ill keep cool he does have a license to kill

The Tate is opposite Vauxhall Bridge. Going to head down this afternoon.

[Aris007]

I'm really glad Skyfall has so many London scenes in it. All these years we only had short briefing moments.

[Luigi Ferrari]

Florian Stephens @florianstephens
Filming going on outside Tate Britian @ Tate Britain instagr.am/p/G3HsPND_rh/

There's the Air Ride " Dodge Ram Elite" Camera Tracking Vehicle of Bickers Action followed by the black Jaguar XJ there . They're really going to film a car chase.

Annie Player @annieplayer
The view from my window today... They're filming a 'fast car' scene for the new Bond film...
