Unverifiable tweet, naturally, but Daniel Craig was reportedly "filming underwater" at Pinewood today.

Well, there's talk of that yacht being included in the film ... maybe Bond will have to board it?

[Vauxhall]

Got a link?

Sorry, just seen this. Can't link to it at the moment, but rest assured that it doesn't say much more than that! I'll have a look for it.

Or stick a limpet mine under it.

[Captain Tightpants]

The thought did occur to me, but that's taken from the ending of Live and Let Die, andd so it feels like something that should go at the climax of the film. But we already know that the climax of SKYFALL is taking place at the manor house in Scotland.

James Bond and us his guests filmed in Pinewood studios.

For those of you who were hoping for a 2 hours film , I'm sorry but the duration of the film will be ... 5 minutes (!) as you can see at that link.
It's a mistake,of course...

My guess is Skyfall will be between 110-120 mins.

[Skudor]

I suspect it will be around the length of a piece of string, or perhaps a bit longer or shorter than that.

[thecasinoroyale]

Of course that depends on what the string is made from Skudor, I think it will be longer than that length.

I'm betting the Istanbul Bazzar scenes are part of the pre-title sequence, and the train sequence follows on after the titles. A big action scene after the titles like in CR and QOS.

Could the pre-title sequence be more suspense driven, like FRWL and CR, than action and stunt driven? I hope so.

[thecasinoroyale]

And will the pre-titles also be linked to the film, a'la 'GoldenEye' and 'Live And Let Die' or small stand-alone pieces like 'Moonraker' and 'Goldfinger'?

Hmm...if so, wonder what will be the context!

The pre-title HAS to be connected to the rest of the film because, if it is set in Turkey (as everything we've picked up from the leaks seems to suggest), and the scenes after the titles are set in Turkey, we can easily join the dots.

Turkish #Skyfall news report says the roof of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is where the movie starts http://bit.ly/wv2jup #jamesbond

Cool. You can see the portion of the wagon that gets ripped off by the CAT. Now that´s what I call original in action-film history,

[The Dove]

Ahh!! Great finds, Germanlady!! Right..shall we cue the Gunbarrel shot and imagine what the opening scene will be? lol..

[Royal Dalton]

It's probably a re-imagined version of the PTS from Michael France's GoldenEye script.

[Shrublands]

It's probably a re-imagined version of the PTS from Michael France's GoldenEye script.

Only without the party on the train, the Channel Tunnel, the DB5, the experimental high speed train, everything really.

[Royal Dalton]

No, not everything.

[Shrublands]

No, not everything.

All right, there’s a train.

[univex]

And probably...Bond.

Yeah that´s about it....probably.

[Royal Dalton]

A train with a big hole in the roof. And Bond driving along it on a motorbike, rather than in a DB7.

Hence the word "re-imagined."

[Shrublands]

Very re-imagined.

The whole point of the GE sequence is that Bond drives a car out of a train’s loading bay and along the roof as it zooms through a long, long tunnel. You could say this has a connection, but a bike landing on a moving train is something quite different in my opinion. The hole in the roof, it just looks like a bit of damage caused in all the action, not very big or important like the GE thing.

[Vauxhall]

Ahh!! Great finds, Germanlady!! Right..shall we cue the Gunbarrel shot and imagine what the opening scene will be? lol..

The gun barrel opening out onto a stunning panoramic shot of Istanbul's iconic skyline would be truly excellent.

And I have feeling that’s what we are going to get – fantastic.

Whatever you say.

[Luigi Ferrari]

Good find, @Germanlady!
From the early seconds of the footage it seems that a part of the sequence requires that Bond is in action on the arm of the excavator which is probably operated by the villain. Due to security reasons, the stuntman who is going to perform the stunt was tied with a steel rope to a metal structure that was mounted on the roof of the wagons. During the scene it is likely that the excavator's arm smashes the roof of the wagon, producing that hole.
One of the 2 stuntmen could be Damien Walters, if I saw clearly.

Just found this from an exterior 007 site...

Tim Readings, a fire risk and insurance cover assessor, leaked some key spoilers for 'Skyfall' via Twitter today.

According to the tweets, Readings visited the 'Skyfall' location today and noted how it was an "impressive professional operation & a hive of industry".

When quizzed whether or not the film would have a big fire (to explain his work), Readings replied: "Top secret stuff! All I can say is: Bond's house, gas, kerosene, helicopter, grenades & 120000L water on standby..."

It is understood that the manor house being constructed in Hankley Common on MOD land, which doubles the building shot on location in Glencoe, will be blown up in the film.

His Twitter account @firemantim went offline later in the day.


Hmmm....specualte and debate...!

[SecretAgentFan]

Wow, top secret really, when you disclose all that...

[007jamesbond]

very interesting stuff......not suprise the house will be blown out
