I think that all sounds about right. In fact, it could be the exact same scenes of Bond & M driving away as they shot at Trinity Square, but they've now secured permission to film outside the real Ministry of Defence, which obviously can be tricky. Great that they're able to shoot at such iconic London locations. The police Range Rover driving off should be Silva's getaway vehicle, based on what we know already.

I'm convinced Judi Dench spends this entire movie getting in and out of a Jag.

Its a good guess the scene takes place after M's gateway, shes still sitting in the back seat. Unless, would M really treat Bond like a taxi driver?

Maybe she'd say something like, "You're the best driver in the Service."

It was very, very important that Dan got to drive M about a bit, otherwise we wouldn’t have got to see him at all in Skyfall (or Driving Dame Judi as it will become known in the months and years ahead.)

[Vauxhall]

Brand new clapper board. Scene B123. "Making a splash on the SKYFALL set today".

[S K Y F A L L]

Cool. Reminds me of the scene in FRWL. Looks like a dangerous scene to shoot with the lights in the water. Where or what is that? Thx, Vauxhall.

[007jamesbond]

I cant tell what the scene is.......

[Vauxhall]

My guess, based on previous clapperboard numbers, is that this shows the London underground chase continuing through a slightly damp abandoned tunnel - most likely filmed at Pinewood. Perhaps the normal exit is blocked by some sort of explosion, so Bond has to improvise to get back to street level.

[The Dove]

Ahh good guess Vauxhall, since in the recent BBC footage we see Bond making his way through the crowd in the Underground station and disappearing into a side door...

[Royal Dalton]

It looks like it might be a sewer tunnel (Third Man homage?).

[Leon]

Also, From Russia With Love has that scene in the Istanbul sewer system - used to get underneath the Russian Consulate.

Agreed, I’ve changed my mind having seen some more photos. I now think they are indeed the same person.


Particularly this pair.

Great photos, down side hand placement

[Pussfeller]

Is she supposed to be a mermaid or some sort of erotic cannibalistic sushi entree?

New official stills, scans from a french Magazine.









Thanks to "boby" from MI6

Thank you Marketto, again. Brilliant pictures, I bet this is the inside of the building they were filming in London.

The look is amazing... Now I´ll read it... ;-)

[The Dove]

GREAT PICS!! Thanks for posting, Marketto!

[Melack]

That picture of Bond in his coat and the british flag in the background is just pure beauty and awesomeness. Love it.

[Melack]

The scene with Bond departing from his hotel room to reach the Macau casino by boat sounds fascinating ... especially with the illuminated dragons and fireworks. Thanks for posting Marketto! Still, it can never look as good as if they had actually shot it on location...

Yeah, it's like if they had shot they Florida scenes in Goldfinger at Pinewood Studions.

[Marketto007]

Here' another one, where we can see Ralph Fiennes for the first time.

OH MY GOD! YHGTRFSQYHGRFEDWHGRFEDS!

[007jamesbond]

anyone translate the article? I wonder where Finnes is in that photo

[Matt_13]

Whaaaaaaaatttttttttt!

That one of him and the flag!

Oo! That one of him in the hallway!

WHOA! Our first shot of Ralph Fiennes!

[Vauxhall]

Woah!

[Matt_13]

Likely the MI6 underground set shot early in the production. You can even see him in one of the production vids on this exact set.

These are fantastic images. Very iconic, especially that one with the Union Jack. So. Is the building Bond is investigating the lodge? Has Silva lured him there? Interesting stuff. I love that we have seen a ton of photos, but that all of them seem to stem from the same scenes, preserving the freshness. I cannot wait for the trailer. We better get a new Bond theme, or else I'm pretty sure myself and Harkers will wind up storming the castle in anger.

[marktmurphy]

Gosh; what a lovely treat. Seems awfully early for these to be out.

- The costume designer Jany Temine wants to modernize James Bond while retaining him an old school side (maybe like she did for the third Harry Potter?)
- The film will go in Scotland, in Shanghai, Turkey AND Macau
- A scene of "crash" would be expected for the sequence of the subway.
- The journalist witnessed the shooting of a scene: the arrival of James Bond in a floating casino in Macao (I think the dragons we saw on the picture of Pinewood come from this set)
- For the scene in the set with the glasses and the neon lights that we saw in the videos and the first official image, the idea is to multiply Bond's reflect. The designer wanted that decor reflected both the spirit of James Bond and what he saw. And here, Bond must appear as a character back from the dead.
- Sam Mendes promises they never pushed the character in such limits
- The scene of Macau: Bond leaves his hotel room and goes to the casino by boat (he is standing on the boat, dressed in a tuxedo). The boat passes between the two dragon heads and a firework is fired. The scene has a certain gravity and Mendes put a mysterious depth in it. The journalist said that the casino "looks like a kingdom of the dead"
- Mendes doesn't say "Bond girl" but "James Bond ladies"
- Jany Temine said that Berenice's character would be a "bad girl" so she wanted to dress her like a "femme fatale". But Berenice does not answer clearly to the question of which side belongs her character (she must be ambiguous, not completely bad)
- Sam Mendes loves Casino Royale and Daniel Craig, because for the first time since Connery, the character of Bond was no longer outside the action and the film wasn't ironic about the hero. He also learned the codes of the series and wants to bring things that has never been seen before.
- Mendes confirms the return of some iconic characters of the saga (so Q is not the only one). He also confirms he wants to bring more humor than in the last two movies. He wants to explore the roots of the MI6, as to make a loop with Dr No (probably for the 50th anniversary)
- And finally, Mendes reveals some thematics of SkyFall: what changed in fifty years? Should the MI6 evolve or stay as it was fifty years ago? Who are the new enemies of the XXI century? Who is Q : an inventor of gadgets that have become increasingly importants or a man who invents new ways to kill people?
- "Daniel Craig was the first one to think about Sam Mendes for being the director of this James Bond movie. They are good friends since the shooting of Road of Perdition, and when he was offered the job, Sam agreed, to our surprise."

Thanks to "boby".

I've try to separate the photos from the scans, I did my best.

Thank you so much man. Seems my hunches were right. Bond is shaved in the hotel, and emerges as the hero of old, taken to a confrontation in a classic style (I'll bet any money "the line" is dropped at that casino). This is calling into question what Bond means to the 21st century. Fantastic news. I hope we get a look at that casino set soon.
