In the picture you can see the Land Rover stunt-car driven by a stuntman on the roof. Note the holes caused by gunshot fire on the windshield.

Hadn't seen the Land Rover at first. Good spot! Also, it appears that those are Turkish number plates on the other vehicles, so looks like the sequence is certainly set in Turkey, not doubling for anywhere else.

According to information received , the incident took place on the historic Varda Bridge , in the center of the district of Karaisalı near the village of Hacıkırı. Freight train carrying ore from Kayseri ,district of Hatay, to Iskenderun, came to the Varda Bridge made ​​in 1912 by the Germans and causing the death of 21 workers and one engineer during its construction , 172 meters long, 99 meters high, when one of the wagons was derailed. While there wasn't killed or injured in the accident, the filming of the"James Bond Skyfall" movie was made on the bridge one day before the date ​​ - was revealed.

To derail the train, the staff asked for help from 8 people in charge with the train . Freight train was rescued about 2 hours after the arrival of assistance crews.
However during this recovery some damage to the rails occurred, the Adana-Kayseri expedition train had to wait for stops until 22.00. Trains could be started after completion of repairs in the rails.

Sevgi Avcı , squeezing and making pancakes by the side of the bridge said " The derailment of the train came suddenly only because of the load off the track. Good that it didn't fall down".

The worker Ibrahim Deveci in charge of the train track said that the train leading load to Iskenderun came derailed on the bridge and remained stranded for 2 hours.

Was it an accident or part of the actually intended filming?

[Shrublands]

Was it an accident or part of the actually intended filming?

That's what I was trying to work out.

[Royal Dalton]

An incident unconnected to the film, by the sound of it.

[Luigi Ferrari]

Was it an accident or part of the actually intended filming?

I would rule out the hypothesis that it was an incident, most likely these were test shots.

[Simon]

Indeed - would the film makers really be that clueless that they would accidentally derail a whole train?

Rhetorical question - doesn't need a response.

[Major Tallon]

I'm going to take a guess at what the translation means. First, it sounds like the derailment was an accident. They wouldn't have been waiting on the arrival of "assistance crews" had the derailment been planned. Next, I'm guessing that the derailment involved a scheduled freight service and wasn't part of the filming. Although I'm on shakier ground here, I think the reference to the incident having occurred "during the filming" means that it happened during the period of time covered by the filming, not during the actual shooting of a scene for the movie, as the article says that filming of the movie had taken place the day before. Finally, the statement that it was a "good thing that it didn't fall down" refers to the carriage that derailed, not to the bridge.

These are just guesses based on the Google translation, but they seem to fit the language in question.

[Whalltt]

Lets hope this doesn't jeopardize any scenes or intentions of filming there...

HAH! "Sevgi Avci, squeezing and making pancakes by the side of the bridge...." LMAO! Talk about a slight mis-translation..That's great...

I was hoping it was a genuine translation and the crew had hired a pancake chef for the shoot!

James Bond antique dealers in abundance

Film-makers who continue to shoot '007 'James Bond-Skyfall in Adana bought antique and objects from an antique dealers for scenes reflected on the big screen.
The film makers hard bargaining paid 400 pounds a coffee box, a bamboo living set, a radio, bath bowls, sailor sights, books dating from 1980 .

Old Time Antique operator Batuhan Hoşgör operating in the neighborhood of Reşatbey in the Central Seyhan, said that '007 James Bond-Skyfall 'director and producers together with a translator came to the shop, drew pictures of goods, a few days later they did the shopping.
Excited to learn of the James Bond 007 film crew arrival , Hoşgör Batuhan said that "the film needs antique furnishings for some scenes in the 1970s , they liked my pictures and they have gone.
A few days later they came and bought the bamboo living set from the 1960s , a radio from the 1950's , bath bowls, crew binoculars, a small brown box, the books published in the 1980s.
They are going to put the scorpion in the coffee box" he said.

The director and producers Tom Braks also have shown interest in the Red Mask and comics as Zagor -noted Hoşgör- they bought also many books.
Choosing books according to the cover photos .
Among them was said to be even the art director American woman took the Quran.
Seeing taken the Holy book, he asked the interpreter whether or not it was a mistake . Next to the interpreter they spoke for a while.The American woman then apologizing, put that book back in place.
For every piece they made a hard bargain, the prices were much lower than value. For shopping they paid a total of 400 pounds" he said.

They wouldn't want to destroy a Koran, would they.



Btw, 80's and antique? Gosh, I might not be the youngest myself, but antique???

[Vauxhall]

Love the antique shop article. Really interesting detail, in my opinion. Perhaps these objects will be furnishings for the yacht which we believe will be filmed in Fethiye - possibly Silva's yacht, slightly similar to Scaramanga's...

[Major Tallon]

I noticed that there's no evidence of filming activity around the area of the train derailment. This bolsters my view that, apart from location, it was unrelated to the movie.

[Shrublands]

Or it might just be some fool with a junk shop trying to get a bit of publicity from a credulous press.

'007 James Bond-Skyfall ' director and producers together with a translator came to the shop, drew pictures of goods,

The idea of Barbara Broccoli and Sam Mendes standing amongst all this clutter drawing pictures of old radios, "books dating from 1980" and this bamboo crap is just priceless.

Squeezing and making pancakes... :-D

[Simon]

Between Lucy and Luigi, the round up of information has been incredible. No idea why people are getting anticipatory about the video blogs which are at the high end of non-information.

As for the pancakes, the view from the cooking area looks splendid. What a wonderful place to work.

If my understanding of Turkish is correct, the French actress Berenice Marlohe who portrays the role of the Bond girl in the next 007 James Bond film - Skyfall - was on the Varda Bridge yesterday to do her test shots.
Then she drunk the squeezed and roasted tea with the film crew and said she will propose it also to James Bond.
While the shooting of Skyfall continues in Adana, shooting of the action sequence started also on the 99 meters high Varda Bridge located near the Hacıkırı village in the center of the town of Karaisalı. Craig too will participate in the next days of shooting on the 172 meters long bridge, continuing the work.
Sevgi and Mehmet Avci , since 8 years selling roasted tea near the Varda Bridge , were admiring the film crew for the first time.
On the Varda Bridge a car crash scene and bridge jumping scenes were shot, specifies Sevgi Avcı, " I did not know the female actor. It turns out that she’s the Bond girl. Interpreters said so. But I liked the shaking sensation. Then I made my own, setting aside the shaking, I brought seven dishes. She paid the money also for the interpreters", he said.

[Royal Dalton]

I should think Bond is either chasing after her, or trying to rescue her, then.

[Shrublands]

Squeezed and roasted tea, I bet that’s lovely with a pancake.

While working the famous Yazar Orhan Kemal, who inspired the first industrial enterprise in Adana, Turkey, the historic 7th National Textile Factory, is used for action scenes and damaged cars in the last film of the 007 James Bond series, Skyfall.
In the neighborhood of the Central Seyhan district, having an area of 68 thousand 530 square meters of flooring, the ​​historic factory comes into action again after 12 years hiatus. After serving Turkish industry for 93 years in 2000 production stopped and left to decay of the century-old factory, Skyfall converted it into garages. The James Bond film crew used the bicycles production section part of the factory as a warehouse rented at a price of four thousand pounds.

When shooting an action sequence in Adana, the damaged vehicles brought into the factory are repaired by Turkish and foreign mechanics. Vehicles are transported on TIRs to the locations for shooting the action sequences and then again are delivered to the factory and brought to repairers. Mechanics day and night repair damaged vehicles individually. Cemal Beyazkaya ,who were the guardians of the factory said the James Bond team hired the factory to use as a garage for vehicles used in the film and those which suffered damages in the action scenes to be repaired.
