Thanks guys.

You have good Bond girls and you have bad Bond girls. But even the bad Bond girls (like Andrea Anders, Vesper, Pussy Galore) tend to become good at the end of the movie. I'm thinking Severine is a bad Bond girl. She delivers a briefcase to an assassin on the escalator, in the briefcase is the assassin's next victim. What if she is the target (like Camille in QoS) and Bond saves her because he's shadowing the assassin (as seen in the first 007.com video)? Bond kills the assassin, walks to the window to see who his target was and he sees Severine. When Severine finds this out, somewhere later in the story, she becomes a good Bond girl and starts helping 007.

(By the way, I like the pearl tower in the background, it's a great way to set the scene)

Just been thinking about the shot of M in her office with the earpiece. Could this be the PTS? Bond is on a mission and M's in contact with him? Just seems a bit strange since the scenes post Main Titles will be M making her way to MI6 from Whitehall.

Interesting, i thought it was her earring! Though on closer inspection you're right, it is indeed an earpiece. Though it looks like it's just hanging loose in that shot, not actually in her ear. So you reckon she's in contact with Bond when he's in Turkey, while he's tracking Patrice?

[Matt_13]

If you look at the picture where Mendes is directing her in the same office, you'll see that it's more of a headset than an earpiece, and good point Harkers. If this is MI6 and the building is going to get blown, then this must take place either in the PTS or shortly after the MTS. M would have to get called away for some reason, though. Good call.

[DamnCoffee]

I doubt that scene is from anything post Scene 30. We know MI6 gets blown to pieces, so M would be situated in the underground bunker.

I concur that it's likely to be right at the start of the film. I don't think the MI6 headquarters will necessarily get entirely levelled, but we do know that it receives sufficient damage that M's operations base gets moved to the bunker but about Scene 30.

[DamnCoffee]

Guys guys guys. We've forgotten something. Seriously. Where's Bonds beard gone? Unless it's there and I can't see it properly?

[Vauxhall]

Brief discussion of exactly that earlier in this thread - further up this page, in fact. I think the stubble is still there, and Royal Dalton observed that it's probably just been 'bleached' slightly by the neon lighting.

[DamnCoffee]

Ahh right! Forgive me.

Also, anyone think that that looks more like a trailer screengrab? Than an actual still? Same goes for this...



Maybe it's just because of the widescreen ratio. Both shots look very trailer worthy though.

[Matt_13]

It's likely just the aspect ratio of the image, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was a screen grab of some kind. Whether or not it's in the trailer is a different issue, but I don't think it's a stretch to think that this is the way it'll look in the film. Looks gloriously loud.

[Royal Dalton]

I'm sure that one's from the trailer. I don't suppose they'd let Craig fire that machine gun for real in case he had his eye out. Those empty shells flying out are probably CGI add-ons.

[JimmyBond]

What do you mean? Actors routinely fire weapons for real in action movies.

nice to see that the 007 site has some official photos! I guess that the producers approve these photos been released and not some kind of leak

The things of the HQ...

- In M´s photo with Mendes we can see water in the window. It´s raining outside?
- Eve has a necklace with a form... Not the same, but makes you think in Vesper...

Not ones with shells flying out right next to their eyes.

Marketto, on behalf of CBn...you are now to be known around these boards as simply, a "Legend!"

Thanks for them wall-paper worthy pics!

Considering that Craig has said before that he likes doing dangerous scenes on his own, without a double or CGI, I say this is genuine.

You don't fire an assault rifle with real ammunition without any earmuffs. Especially not in a closed room.

It's not a problem. The ejected shell casings aren't really that close.

How do you think they've done it all these years then?

[Jeff007]

Blank ammunition still ejects the empty casings so it's probably not CGI. Outside the ejection port their will be a deflector so it doesn't hit the firer. Considering in movies they don't add a blank firing attachment to the weapons you can see the giant flame or "the muzzle flash" coming out of the end of the barrel. That won't happen as drastic with real ammo but it looks good in movies.

Great to see him with his eyes open! Moore would cringe as he's said in many interviews.

[Icebreaker]

Just wanted to throw in a response to a couple questions people had about the weapons and the handling of the weapons in the images we have seen so far:

1) So far from what I have seen this is the most technically sound, in terms of handling of weapons I have seen in a Bond film to date. My only complaint is in several photos Craig has his finger on the trigger even when at rest. In the image where he is firing the rifle his form is near flawless. He has the weapon tucked in close, his line of site is OVER the barrel with both eyes open, allowing him to engage the target while keeping his periphrial. The hand on the magazine for those that asked is for stability, typically you would have a 'broomstick' handle beneath the barrel, but in this case he doesn't so he is shortening up on the weapon for tactical purposes, especially in an indoor enviornment which may involve room clearing. This gives him more control over the weapon and stability. Also, magazines will not get hot, they simply feed the round into the chamber.

2) As for the shell casings. I have never been hit with a shell casing in the eye before. Eye protection is typically for fragmentations, or misfires. The actual casings are designed to be eject outward at an angle, the mechanics of the weapon do not allow for it to travel back towards your eyes.

Hope that answers some questions.

What makes you so sure that he doesn't wear any?

Yes; it would be a pretty poorly-designed weapon that ejects cartridges into the eyes of the firer; actor or soldier!

thats what happens the empty cases have to go somewhere. Plus many actors have trained in live firearms for roles especially those on Michael Mann films who always gets in Mick Gould (ex 22) to do the training for all CQB armed and unarmed. So i see no reason why Gary Powell would not have ex military man assisting (well he has few ex booties working with him thats a fact), plus any shots on set will be blank rounds and risk assesment will be conducted before any firing of weapons including and especially with blanks. So i doubt it was CGI but you never know.
