This is doing my crane-ium in.

[Shrublands]

Are we really still discussing cranes?

Isn’t it what the C in CBn stands for?

Troubling news from Halifax...

Hey, that's from my neck of the woods!

Hey, that's from my neck of the woods!

I like this bit.

“It’s largely going to depend on whether the residential sector continues to build in a robust fashion. I don’t see that sector slowing down, based on what I see, so extrapolating that, it’s likely that there will continue to be a shortage of that resource.”

Translation - “If they keep building lots of houses, we’ll run short of cranes”

Enough!

I strain to abstain from your humane pain but this crane is public domain

LOL!! Right..this discussion has just gotten way out of hand...so until the next RELAVANT topic pertaining to Skyfall imagery happens, lets..

[SecretAgentFan]

How about a nice big train?

[BourneAgainBond]

A guy named monkeyfocus posted this photo on Instagram recently, with the caption: "This is the set for 007 Skyfall, the escalator slide stunt".



I asked him in which station the photo was taken, and the answer was: "It's the old Jubilee Line plattform at Charing Cross. It's been closed for many years".

What do you guys think? Bond slides down the tube chasing Bardem? Sounds good to me.

Something like that happens in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to Lisbeth Salander who slides down it to escape someone trying to take her bag

And my professor just showed us last lecture an hungarian movie, where the leading actor escapes this way. And it might have been done in various other movies…

Cool, sounds like an interesting movie. I only mention it because the set is almost identical to the one used in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."

Damn, you beat me to it!

[Vauxhall]

I think we need a new image to break this peculiar direction of conversation.

Spoiler

Having said that, if the weekly clapperboard shows a crane, I think I might have to enforce an absence from the image thread until the excitement simmers down.

Yeah; I'm pretty sure Richard Gere does it in The Jackal.
I only remember because it's something everyone wants to do when they're in the Tube, don't they?

[BourneAgainBond]

Good point. I would be very happy if Skyfall was as good as The Jackal, I really enjoyed that film.

[Simon]

And Costner in No Way Out.

[univex]

And bad guy chasing Pacino in Carlito´s Way.

[Shrublands]

And the drunks at Oxford Circus last Saturday night.

[Chief of SIS]

And that one scene in skyfall......

Judi Dench and Rory Kinnear caught on set during the filming of Skyfall at 10 Trinity Square On Saturday 25 th January. The sequence shows M and Tanner leaving an office building in Whitehall and I presume this will be part of the sequence #131 shot on Friday 3rd February featuring Bond driving off the same building at the wheel of the Jaguar .

Yep, that's the scene. I don't think Bond drives M off in the Jaguar though. I think Tanner helps M flee the scene in her own car, while Bond is preoccupied with chasing Bardem's character or something.

Actually, I'm not sure we've got any confirmed pictures of Bond ever driving the Jaguar? The closest information we have is the fact that Ben Collins was spotted driving one, and the assumption is that he was doubling Bond.

[Luigi Ferrari]

We have no pictures of Craig driving the Jaguar but we have pictures of Ben Collins dressed as Bond ( same suit, same earpiece) walking on set and at the wheel of the Jaguar on Friday 3rd February.

I'm no expert, but wouldn't that seat thing be used by a camera man filming someone running down the escalator (although I guess he could slide backwards on it while filming someone sliding down in front of him).

[007jamesbond]

we should be getting a new clipboard sometime today?

They've usually been posted on Fridays, yes, but rarely as late in the day as this. Fingers crossed.

[PPK_19]

I don't want a new clapperboard.

They just continually piss me off as opposed to whetting my appetite for Skyfall.

I attempted to read in the call sheets on that famous website and I managed to read as follows:

Friday 3rd February 2012
Scene #127, EXT- WHITEHALL OFFICE, Bond running in the front of the building
Scene #128, EXT- WHITEHALL OFFICE, Silva ..... out of a side door and ..... into a police car, Bond sees ... M's car
Scene #131/132, EXT- WHITEHALL OFFICE, Tanner puts M in her car ... secures off

The blue words are the ones which I'm not certain of.
I hope these suggestions may be helpful to understand what the missing verbs are.

EDIT: the correct date in the quoted post is 25th January February.

Out at the moment, but will have a look at that when I get in and try to fill in the gaps, Luigi.

Looks like no clapperboard tonight; picture of Daniel Craig's birthday cake instead.

[The Dove]

Shame...at least they could have thrown us a teaser pic of say..the left wing engine of the jet the crew will be flying on over to Turkey to start shooting there..lol..
