The bad guy's car has an accident.
The set is as follows: in front of the stalls in the carpets market an Audi car hits a stall and stops in front of Turkish police motorcycle.
A member of the team describes us the scene.
One of the baddies, played by Ola Rapace, is driving the Audi.
Behind, Bond next to Naomie Harris starring agent Eve, follow using a jeep.The bad guy's car has an accident.
He came out there and jumped on a motorcycle, Bond finds another motorcycle that didn't go down.
This will be connected with the motorbikes outdoor scene on the Grand Bazaar's roof.

Thanks, Luigi.

Cameo appearance by the Moonraker pigeon, I noticed.

THE best cameo in the series I think? Great observation Luigi, made me chuckle. He was getting his screen time though wasn't he? Wonder if he'll do the double take once the car crashes?


The market action looks really good, great to see developments. It's shaping up to be a fantastic opening, that's for sure! Thanks for posting the links guys.

Tv video including a few seconds of the shoot-out scene from a different angle.

I've nothing to do with it, I fear. The credit for that observation goes to Royal Dalton.

Apologies Luigi, and Royal Dalton, for the mix up! So many good things in this thread I got lost!

So...

Thank you Luigi for the updates...!

Thank you Royal Dalton for spotting our pigeon friend...!

Do you remember I reported last Saturday that a water fountain has been built near the New Mosque for filming a particular scene of the intro sequence in Istanbul?

If you're interested to know what's the purpose it has been built, here below you can find out more. Much more.

"In the new film, Bond's visits include Istanbul. The old center of Istanbul, where are the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia , is the setting of several scenes from the new movie. In the film, James Bond drives a matt gray Land Rover Defender pickup, the bad guy a black Audi A5.

Action!

After a few trial runs, it was time for the real thing. All the extras took their positions, and there they came, James Bond and the bad guy. In a breath, the spell was done. James rammed his Defender in the flank of the Audi, which then went on its side and slid for a bit. In the final scene will be seen that Bond presses the Audi against a fountain, causing the car going sideways. That scene, however, will be later recorded."

Does anyone know of a media embargo that's being lifted tomorrow? A lot of talk on twitter...

[Germanlady]

Steven Weintraub ‏ @colliderfrosty it's really weird to be writing up a set visit and on set interviews the day after they happened. #SKYFALL embargo lifts at 10pm pst tonight

Really just want a trailer and poster. The B Roll stuff is nice, but I'm ready to see some polish.

My feelings exactly Matt

[Leon]

I have a question for anyone who's been keeping right up with all the plotline info so far concerning the scenes in Turkey - I have been avoiding temptation to read too much on the actual story other than the basics, but I'm curious about these scenes.

I have gathered accidentally (accepted risk of dabbling in spoiler threads) that the PTS will involve Turkey, but will Bond be there at other points in the film? There's alot of different things going on in Istanbul etc, so either he will return/still be there after the titles or it will be a very long PTS.

Excuse any obvious ignorances, I just want to get a brief answer without delving myself and finding out more than I want to! Cheers.

[Matt_13]

Mendes seemed to indicate that the time spent in Turkey would be brief. My bet is that the PTS will be there, and Bond will still be in the region shortly after the MTS before getting whisked off to London.

[Leon]

Cheers, Matt. It's looking good and I love that they are in Istanbul. I won't be able to help feeling a little loss if most of those scenes are chases and brief moments though. I think a vital element of the classic Bond escapism and atmosphere is being emerged in exotic locations, exploring them with Bond. If it's all chasing people around the location ends up mainly whizzing past the camera and feels more as if its there as just a cool backdrop for action rather than a character itself.

Here's the text version of Lucy Cotter's report for Sky News.

Daniel Craig: Bond Plot Is For Our Eyes Only

The makers of James Bond films are in Istanbul for the final leg of filming for the 23rd chapter in the series - Skyfall - although Daniel Craig has remained tight-lipped about the details.

The lead actor was cagey and vague when talking about the film, but did reveal 007 would be "funny as hell" and that his character would enjoy a "rich" love life.

We weren't supposed to talk to each other because MGM hadn't done the deal. But we couldn't shut up. It was a chance for us to reread the Ian Flemings, and we started e-mailing each other, 'What about this and what about this,' and that's how it snowballed.

But he refused to be drawn on plot details, saying only that he and director Sam Mendes had worked extensively on the script and the character together.

"We had a four year break to concentrate on getting this one as good as possible," he said.

"We've just tried to make the best movie we can. We're both huge Bond Fans, it the 50th anniversary this year and thats a little pressure but a nice pressure to have."

On the Bond set from about 10am are around 500 extras and 300 crew including Craig, plus body doubles and stunt doubles, Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes and Bond girl Naomi Harris.

Under Istanbul's New Mosque, which is actually over 400 years old, the crew re-created the Turkish capital city's famous spice market, complete with stalls, sellers and authentic extras.

I watched as Daniel Craig jumped out of a car driven by the gorgeous Naomi Harris and started a gunfight in the square, sending hundreds of pigeons scattering in panic.

This was a huge burst of excitement, but comes amid the hours of waiting around for those precious movements which make it on screen.

For this 10-minute sequence showing Bond being chased by the bad guys, around three months of filming is done.

Thankfully for producers, 007 is not as popular in Turkey as in many other places around the world and most residents of this bustling city get about their business uninterested in the Hollywood royalty in their midst.

However, the pressure is really on for Skyfall, with the rest of the world watching as the 50th anniversary of the franchise approaches.

It is Daniel Craig's third outing as Bond. His first, Casino Royale, was a huge success, while follow-up Quantum of Solace proved less popular.

The franchise was also shaken when makers MGM filed for bankruptcy last year and the project was left in limbo.

Craig insisted the break had been a good thing as it meant he and Mendes had time to develop the characters and plots.

"We weren't supposed to talk to each other because MGM hadn't done the deal," he said.

"But we couldn't shut up. It was a chance for us to reread the Ian Flemings, and we started e-mailing each other, 'What about this and what about this,' and that's how it snowballed."

Skyfall is due to be released on October 26.

[Matt_13]

I'm sure the sight of the pigeons scattering will be something else. Very FRWL.
