Useless. May as well blur his face the way they report on things.

Well I think usually they are custom made, but who knows.

Poor condition of Rome's streets are hampering the car chase??

Saw this over at MI6 but can't tell where they got it from...(it's not very well written, could be a direct translation of some Italian article somewhere) but again it does come back to Rome being under-prepared for such a big production. Make of it what you will..

Re-write (or better slightly altered c&p) of this article: http://www.thelocal....t-bond-car-race

 

And I'm not certain if this comes back to Rome being underprepared for such a big production. I see it the other way round. This can't have been too big a surprise, that's what streets in Rome are like. If I intend to shoot a car chase at a certain place, I have to have an eye on the streets. If there are cobbles, I have to be prepared for that. If I don't like that, I have to shoot elsewhere.

[The Dove]

Good point..Yeah, I guess it's really on the production team underestimating the condition of the streets and whether they would fit the needs of the car chase. Still though, no big deal really as we have seen from the videos the chase sequence seems to be going along just fine.

Nice, but fake

[agentbug]

Nice one Luigi...similar phots and coverage here in the UK tabloids, just for those who don't read Italian:
 
http://www.dailymail...y-trainers.html
 
But another show that our UK media just are brainless. A worthy headline for DC filming in Rome?
 
'Bond star Daniel Craig teams his trademark suit with scruffy trainers as he prepares to shoot active scenes for Spectre in Rome'
 
and one of their observations...
 
"While the footwear will no doubt be cropped out of the final edit..."
 
OH! Really? Thanks for that barnstorming journalism there.

Agreed, incredibly lame, sigh.

[Vauxhall]

Craig was spotted today at Rome airport, so presumably the next few days of filming will rely heavy on stunt work and doubles.

My only worry would be if they're unable to properly convey the desired speed of the chase. But I'm sure they'll be able to.

I'm just loving what I'm seeing. 

[Bryce (003)]

Great pics and video! Thanks!

 

Spoiler

On the batch from Marketto, some great pics but one in particular caught my eye. Of the pics of the DB10's lined up (it's frame 22 or 23 of the batch), the one nearest has two items protruding that look to be some sort of dual device. Not guns, but possibly some kind of harpoon or line delivery system. My first thought was that they were just mounts for cameras, but I noticed that the rear bumper seems to be folded down as if they would normally be concealed before extending out. If you've chosen to read this, look for yourself. Maybe, just maybe, our first glimpse of some of Q's handywork.

[Major Tallon]

I see the same thing, Bryce(003).  Now you've got me wondering.

Was my first thought, too, but I don't think this is the case.

One, it just doesn't look enough "gee-whizz". Two, if you look at this pic, you'll se that it's for mounting camera gear (looks like a large power box):

 

 

If you look at this one,

 

 

you'll see that there's one that's missing parts of the front fender, equally for mounting the camera gear. We know that the car has been developped in cooperation with the movie people, I could well imagine that this wasn't so much for the exterior look, but more for technical necessities.

[Luigi Ferrari]

In this videoreport there are some snippets  which I think are new to us.

[Simon]

Yeah - I don't think it is anything to do with Q because the extended bumper thing that extrudes from the other cars has been removed.

 

It looks as though it 'might' have been removed for mounting gear.

[Luigi Ferrari]

While waiting for new pics and videos to come tonight, here's an insight of what we should expect.

For anyone keeping track, it appears the filming tonight mainly involved the cars speeding out of Via Alberico and turning right into Via Properzio.

[sharpshooter]

I like how the DB10 takes the corner and then corrects itself. That's exciting - Bond is the chased and he's going to be driving fast.
