Could be, but tough to know for sure. Appears to be wearing a suit.

Another recent video showing preparations for filming on a train along the Adana railway line. The actor who is seen shooting a gun on the rooftop train is probably Ola Rapace or his double. The actor crouched beside the digger could be Craig's stunt double.

James Bond's Shootings Continues in Adana

Skayfall'ın recent series of shootings continues James Bond film.

Skayfall'ın recent series of shootings continues James Bond film. Analytics Center District, educated neighborhood routes linked to railways around the Aegean BAGATUR Boulevard was closed to traffic because of the film. Filming is taking place under tight security measures in dozens of personnel work.

The railway wagons on the action scenes in the movie taken on the roofs of nearby houses of citizens, followed by interest. Bucket, dozer-moving scenes, such as used cars in addition to the weapons used in business machines. Some scenes from the movie Bridge earlier in the city center and historical Misis Giilek district was made in November. Transportation difficulties during filming, followed by the public curiosity drew reactions from the drivers.

Novels by Fleming in 1952 for the man with the character created a fictional British agent 007 James Bond stories, 1964, after the Kingley Amis, John Pearson, John Gardner, Raymond Benson and Charlie Higson Written by. To date, 24 of those stories were the James Bond film.

Yeah, that does look like Rapace, doesn't it.

Great detective work, as always, Luigi.

[Luigi Ferrari]

And there are those Beetles.

Thanks, Luigi.

You're welcome, Royal Dalton.

It is a bit difficult to see at first sight, but if you look closely at 00 min 27 secs you can spot also the Land Rover Defender speeding alongside the railway tracks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqFD1wx8eSA&feature=channel

I thought a lot about the the Beetles and their role in this sequence and I think I've understood how they are intended to be employed.

Possible spoiler alert!

Spoiler

The convoy is composed as follows:
- the locomotive
- 6 freight wagons
- 1 wagon carrying 5 Beetles
- 1 wagon carrying the digger
- 1 wagon carrying a small excavator
- 1 "service" wagon ( the last wagon)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hIrH5r1RN3Y

In this footage, that was shot in the first week of March,you can clearly see that the train has the same composition, but the Beetles are missing and, pretty interesting, the digger has moved onto the wagon that is ahead. So I guess in the sequence Bond maneuver the digger's arm to get close to Patrice who stands on the rooftop of the sixth freight wagon and is shooting at him.
To achieve his purpose, Bond blows away the Beetles that represent an obstacle using the digger's arm, and then smashes the roof of the freight wagon which Patrice stands on. Then Bond climbs on it and finally gets on the roof of the wagon where there is a close combat between the two.
Note that also the Land Rover Defender is involved in a part of this sequence, very likely being driven by the Agent Eve. The Beetles being tossed off the moving train while the Defender is chasing it, will probably represent a dangerous unexpected, thus forming a high-octane sequence.

Yeah, that sounds good to me, Luigi.

[Major Tallon]

I hope you're right, Luigi. The sequence you describe sounds amazing.

Yes, I think are good friend is on the money.

The Land rover looks like another camera car...

Indeed there are two vehicles charging along the train track.

[DamnCoffee]

Right i'm calling it.

If this is indeed the case, and I have a feeling it is. Bond will do away with Patcice in the train sequence. It seems like a typical awesome villain death scenario. Which means. This ISN'T the PTS set piece.

Edited by Mharkin, 01 April 2012 - 04:19 PM.

[Vauxhall]

Nope, the train sequence follows China etc. If it is Patrice on the roof, it does mean that Bond doesn't kill him in Shanghai, which is what I'd been expecting, to be honest.

I'm keen to hear details of what the PTS in Istanbul will involve though.

[Royal Dalton]

Silva breaking out of prison, possibly? Although, I would have thought that would come after the main titles.

I think after the train sequence is the bit with the yacht, where Severine probably meets her end.

[coco1997]

And there are those Beetles.

Thanks, Luigi.

Aww, I had hoped they were using vintage Beetles. Still, pretty cool.

Didn't Naomie Harris mention driving a Land Rover?

[DamnCoffee]

Maybe Eve drives the jeep alongside the train? Or keeps at a safe distance so she can retrieve Bond.

[S K Y F A L L]

I wonder how long this train scene is going to be. I'm guessing some of those beetles get crashed or throw of the train by that excavator.

Adana, filming of a stunt scene on the rooftop of a moving train.

[PPK_19]

Nice one Luigi. So is that Craig's stunt double you think, on top of the train?:

Edited by PPK_19, 03 April 2012 - 10:54 AM.

[Vauxhall]

I think it might be the villain's stunt double. It was speculated that it might be Ola Rapace's character Patrice.

[Major Tallon]

I noticed that the arm was in the lowered position and facing toward the rear of the train, and that several Beetles are on the flat car between the digger and the freight car where the man is standing on the roof. We've previously seen the digger immediately behind the freight cars, with the arm raised and facing forward. I think this lends credence to Luigi's prior speculation as to how this scene will play out. Fantastic stuff!

Shooting of the last film in the James Bond series began in Adana, will continue in Istanbul. Preparations started for some scenes shot at the historical peninsula.
CNN Turk Zeynep Karamustafa, took the pulse of the area in Eminonu, where shots will be taken.

Some scenes of 007 James Bond's latest movie Skyfall is being shot in Adana and Istanbul in Turkey. Shootings in Adana province have been completed and now it's time for Istanbul. Between April 16th - May 6th a movie platform will be settled in front of the Spice market in Eminonu neighbourhood and artists and stunts will be there.

Just a reminder for those who will be visiting Istanbul during this period: all Eminonu area where the Spice Market and Yeni mosque are, will be close to vehicle and pedestrian traffic for about 3 weeks therefore be prepared for lots of traffic and most probabily for not being able to visit the Spice Market area.

Judging from these reports, I guess the first unit will film in Istanbul first, then head for Fethiye in mid-May, before returning to Adana in late May to wrap up the shooting. Wondering when DC will finally arrive in Turkey.

some more details on the Istanbul shooting:

http://translate.goo...6prmd%3Dimvnsob

Based on what is being reported in this and in previous articles, the shooting schedule in Turkey may be as follows.

Istanbul

- Set preparation start : Monday, April 9
- Shooting period: April 16 to May 6
- Filming start : Monday, April 16. They are filming action scenes involving blowing up of vehicles and motorcycle chases which don't require the main actors to be on set. It's 2nd unit work.
- Arrival of the main cast: Monday, April 30. This is in partial disagreement with Tonia Sotiropoulou's previous statement, alleging that her scenes are planned to be filmed throughout five days starting from April 22, considering that her scenes are likely to be with Daniel Craig. It's 1st unit work.

Adana

May 5 to 6: Closure to traffic of the Kasim Gulek bridge, to shoot close-ups of Daniel Craig in the sequence of him jumping off the bridge, I presume. Please, note that in the meantime this date may have been changed.

Fethiye

May 21 to 22.
