Charing Cross underground platform was scene 120, I believe, so I think we're right to assume that this is the end of that particular London chase sequence.

Yes, and Scene 134 is Bond and M in the DB5 at night.

[Captain Tightpants]

I suspect the shooting we've been seeing at ground level, with Bond racing into the building, has something to do with the box exchange on top of the DECC.

Scene 131 was shot today. New clapper board up on facebook.


Ah someone beat me to it. So....DB5 chase at the end of the film? Please let it be so!

[Leon]

Ah! Still the inside-waistband holster it seems.

Still no shoulder strap for this Bond, but it's faithful to Fleming's 007. More professional also, I imagine, particularly with the good old PPK.

[univex]

Good catch. It may not be as cool as the shoulder strap but it is more Fleminguesque.

nice find.....! it is interesting up close especially the police with weapons.........I wouldn't be surprise if these police are real cops......

Why?

Because someone mentioned that filming at Tower Hill was doubling for Whitehall - there are photos of street signs that have been placed over existing ones for the films. The DECC building is in Whitehall, and in a former life, was home to Scotland Yard. So I think the DECC will be standing in as Scotland Yard, with the streets of Tower Hill standing in as Whitehall. Charing Cross Station is nearby, and until today, I had assumed that Bond was going down into Charing Cross, simply because of the photos from the shoot in Trafalgar Square, which showed him exiting the National Gallery, crossing the Square and heading for Charing Cross. But when I looked it up on Google Maps, it occured to me that Bond could be coming out of Charing Cross Station instead, working his way through "Whitehall" (Tower Hill) to "Scotland Yard" (the DECC) and do the box exchange with Eve.

A bit lackluster considering the footage and pics from today, but nevermind...

Those pictures are bloody phemonimal. It's nice to have pictures where they are actually filming!

[Matt_13]

Yes, but it gives us when this event takes place. This must be the first part of the final set piece.

[DamnCoffee]

I have a feeling that Scene 131 will be pretty early on in the movie. Around half way through.

[Matt_13]

I'm at a loss right now. They're going to be in Turkey for a very long time. I have no idea what scenes those could be, unless they were say 70-110. I'd say this is near the end game harkers. That scene on the roof looks like a conclusion.

More like (and I don't say this lightly) Bond, James Bond.

Wow. The three-button jacket is back! SKYFALL is really going to have a distinct look in terms of costuming, sets and cinematography!

[007jamesbond]

hopefully that someone will be able to take some photos if possible of filming on the bridge....... if possible

I actually know for a fact that they're not real, as a tourist walked up to the "policemen" and asked for directions, and they had a good laugh over being mistaken for genuine coppers!

[Captain Tightpants]

The bridge will be closed for filming.

[Vauxhall]

Yes, but it gives us when this event takes place. This must be the first part of the final set piece.

My prediction is the London foot chase is the end of the third quarter of the movie, shortly before the action shifts to the Highlands for the final set piece.

[Jim]

Bad snow forecast over the next few days; presumably they plan for such contingencies.

[Marketto007]

Well guys, sorry for the delay, but here's a "quick" report of my visit to the Skyfall set on the Trinity Square, last January 6th, where:

- I saw Javier Bardem entering the set;
- Heard two sequences of three shots each, inside the building;
- I've met Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

Here we go...


Here's a little homage to @007 Clapperboard pictures

It was my last day in London, and I was going to take some photos on the Tower Bridge. It was about 3 PM and I arrived at the Tower Hill station, when I left the station, I instantly saw the huge lights pointing to some place. When I approach the lights and the street, I realized it was a Bond location. I can say that it was a dream coming to reality. I was so excited, and so I've decided to stay there how it would takes, just to try see some of the action, or even the actors...


That's me, extremely excited of being there.





This was the crew trailers, lights, and stuff. The Trinity House is where the actors went first when arrive at the set. Also Michael and Barbara when arrived there, before entering the set, they went to the Trinity House. Why? Don't know, maybe to a cup of tea, a chill out chat before the filming starts at the set.


You know the name, you the excitement!


Now you know this place. This is where Daniel run in front of this Friday. When I arrived there (Jan. 6th), all this cars was already parked there. I THINK they were only waiting for Javier and the producers, whom arrived later that day.

http://i1115.photobu...rasil/010-1.jpg
This guy was a Paparazzi, and he took several photos from every possible angle of the place. I talked with him and he confirms that Judi Dench had already arrived, and was inside the building.


http://i1115.photobu...dbrasil/011.jpg
Marketto again, didn't believing "he" was there!

http://i1115.photobu...dbrasil/014.jpg http://i1115.photobu...dbrasil/015.jpg
I walked around the entire block to see if I discovered something about the shooting that day. This red cranes were also lights pointing to the interior to the side of the building. The paper on the guys pocket is the parking places for the crew.

Now this is the "cool" part. Being there, I didn't know who was already at the location, and who they were waiting. When this black car arrived, two guys from the crew came along running to the Trinity House to do some "assistance". Yes, it was Javier Bardem's car. Of course, he wasn't driving it...

Remember the hood I told he was wearing that day, and the video I said I had done? It's nothing much, but is still something...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c36uL5ZPerM

Most of these photos were taken by Julia, my girlfriend (from the Happy B-Day To Marketto video). At this moment, when Javier arrived at the Trinity House, for a second I tought it was Daniel Craig, I even said that on the video. BUT, a couple of minutes after his arrival, I was just in front of the door, when he left (with some other people) to the set. At this moment, Javier looked at me and laughed, and I tried to take the camera and take a picture...and...it was too late! :( This guy tried to avoid the photos, and succeeded. You may recognize him from the first day of shooting in Smithfield Market, in the photo below, with Dame Judi.

I tried to take some photos from the interior, but the windows were too high, so...

While I was taking this pictures above, look who's arriving...

http://i1115.photobu...dbrasil/029.jpg http://i1115.photobu...dbrasil/030.jpg

When I saw them, I was in shock. For the past 16 years I only knew them from the behind-the-scenes interviews, photos, etc. Suddenly, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli were there, right in front of me. I was so nervous, but...calling them for their names, they instantly saw that I was the only Bond fan at the place. The dialogue follows:

- "Hey, Mr. Wilson...Mrs. Broccoli. Can I take a picture with you, please?"

- "Of course, sure." Both said.

- "I'm a huge, huuuuge fan, I'm from Brazil."

- "Really? Nice to meet you!" says Barbara, giving me her hand to shake.

Above is Barbara and Michael's car, and me, saying good bye to London.

And that was it guys. Sorry for the huge post, but this things happened in my last day in London. It was the best part of the entire travel. Hope you liked it...

[Jim]

Excellent; what a splendid thing to have experienced!

[BourneAgainBond]

omg that is the coolest thing ever, wow!!! good for you dude that is wicked.
i would have asked if Michael is going to make a cameo even though i'd assume he is and i'd ask if barbara was planing on starting the same tradition
at least i would like to think so i never met any celebrities so i don't know if i would freeze up or not haha
i'm so jealous & a lost for words & i don't even care much for the producers but b/c of their association with the films it would be (i would imagine) amazing to meet them
and its kind of cool to learn that they seem to have some level of respect for their fans (i mean they just seemed nice to him/you)
who is the guy in the photo with judi? clearly a member of the crew but what does he do? just seems like a cool job is all

good show and thanks for the post marketto007
