Strange. I really don't understand why Desmond Howard would be in London.

I was thinking the same thing, and that website tell us nothing!

Well, the NFL will have some regular season games in London. Also, Howard may have some time off as College Football isn't in season.

Are they still complaining?

[univex]

An Audi? I suppose that´s better than having the villain drive a ford or a jag exclusively just because they have a contract (CR). Makes it more real I guess. And the Audi vs the Defender sure looks cool. One question though, is it for the PTS? And, if so, does the PTS include the market chase, the bike/rooftops chase, the train fight and bridge? Isn´t that a bit too long for a PTS, like, say, TWINE?

Maybe. I honestly wouldn't mind.

A screen capture from today's new video blog, showing a stubbly Bond at a bar in Shanghai:

That's pretty cool. Even with a bit of stubble Bond's still able to come off as stylish.

The next scene after Bond's chasing Silva through London?

[JimmyBond]

If you're referring to that picture, then no. That scene takes place in a bar in Shanghai.

[chriso]

I know, but I thought it would be one of many scenes taking place after the London chaos.

[Royal Dalton]

The London scenes with Silva take place later on in the film.

[chriso]

I see, thanks for that. So Bond goes to Shanghai, eliminates the henchman and travels back to London, trying to get Silva.

Here's a screen I captured from the video blog. I fixed the perspective, cropped the frame to make it anamorphic, sharpened it, fixed some highlights, to make it look like a real screenshot,

[JimmyBond]

Awesome That looks really good Dominic

[Chief of SIS]

So bearded Bond loves sweaters huh?

[Matt_13]

Believe this is the first shot of Craig we have out of a suit.

Believe this is the first shot of Craig we have out of a suit.

Apart from the pool picture.

[MattofSteel]

A) There's a boatload of Heineken in that fridge.

But this also seems like the location where the 'Dry Martini?' clapperboard was taken. Oh, the suspense!

[Marketto007]

Great job Dominic. And yep, I see Heineken there.

Thank you as well!

Never thought James Bond much of a sweater, shirt and tie type.

It would be nice to see him in less 'stiff' getup at some point in the film - no suit, tie or cufflinked shirt. Craig looked very cool in Casino Royale when dressed more casually:

[JimmyBond]

Damned if you do and damned if you don't I guess.

I recall DC getting a lot of criticism for not wearing enough suits, etc. Oh well...

[Leon]

Well I never complained about a lack of suits. I just think there's a balance. Having Bond wear suits in every single scene, for example, would equally be as odd as having him never wear a suit/dinner jacket for the entire film.

The complete guide to Bond's general attitude to style and comfort is all in black and white from Flemming's hand. He wore alot of suits in the books because that's what the fashion was in the 50s. Bond would loosen up every chance he got, wore alot of slip-on loafers, sandals, lightweight suits, silk shirts with no tie etc. That was casual - he even combed his hair 'carelessly', compared to the then fashion of perfectly oiled side parts and the like.

Just saying Bond is no stiff, but iconic imagery - Bond in his dinner suit or the occasional elegant suit and tie - should of course remain. I think the suits in this film look excellent by the way.

[JimmyBond]

Don't misunderstand me, I wasn't speaking directly to you. Just commenting on the general attitude that you're post represented. Since there were people back in the day who felt that way about Craig and Casino Royale.

I kind of like Bond being in a lot of suits in this film. Gives it a sort of 'Roger Moore' feel.

[sharpshooter]

I find this shot poignant. Like the image of Bond by the pool, it visually expresses how he's a lone wolf. He’s got himself, and everybody else are just acquaintances that for that particular mission, and he’ll probably never see them again. His 'family' is MI6. It also recalls the line: "James Bond, with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death."

[DominicGreene]

I like when Bond wears the suit. In my mind, I imagine the ideal Bond wearing a suit; it suggests class, wealth, etc. The WAY Bond wears his suit really makes it Bond-esque; it's a mixture of not trying too hard, but putting a good ammount of effort which you hint at humbly. Same applies for other clothing Bond wears. As long as Bond's clothing stays classy, elegant and powerful, I'm happy. Regular clothing really makes Bond seem like a killer instead of a business man.

I like the second one. Very exotic indeed. I can just imagine watching Bond walking along there with the camera showing him with the body of water in the background. I'm getting chills thinking about it.

Why couldn't they come up with anything exotic looking like that for the Brosnan films?!

[Peckinpah1976]

I kind of like Bond being in a lot of suits in this film. Gives it a sort of 'Roger Moore' feel.

Nobody could wear a safari suit with the same air of casuality...

I agree about Bond in a suit but when it comes to sartorial elegance I think more of Cary Grant, an early 60's Connery or maybe Don Draper (who looks more like my mental image of Flemings Bond than just about anybody I've ever seen).

Anyone else agree that Skyfall will have some amazing beautiful locations and scenery? Can't wait to see it in IMAX?
