Wow, thanks Luigi, exciting to read about the Aston Martin hurtling down stone steps. Hadn't considered they'd be allowed to do that...!

[thecasinoroyale]

Nice words Stromberg and well deserved - the finest CBn moles internationally!

 

And those stone steps are going to leave a few marks on the Aston that's for sure....ouch.

All of you fine operatives epitomize the tagline under my sig banner. 

 

These last few bits are as great as ever.

 

Thanks!

[x007AceOfSpades]

Yeah, I'm sold that this is going the be better than the opening car chase in QOS. I suspect the final, edited scene will look fantastic.

 

Very blue.

 

Michael Mann's colour of choice was blue and it works a treat. 

 

However, this might just be halogen headlights...

HID (xenon) headlights, I suppose.

 

Beat me to it!

Updates from Rome: last night shooting was canceled due to heavy rains. Filming will resume tonight if the level of the Tiber and the weather conditions will allow it.

Those photos bring a huge smile, Luigi - classic Bond with hints of View to a Kill style car stunt down the stairs. 

[thecasinoroyale]

You're right Ace, that is VERY 'AVTAK' for the 21st century!

[DamnCoffee]

Lotus Police car possibly added to Rome chase?

[The Dove]

Wicked!! So great to see a Lotus car back in a Bond film for the first time since 1981!

[Simon]

From the article, it isn't confirmed.

 

The author is speculating the police are just using it to control events for the filming.

 

Who knows.  Looks pretty smart though.  A lot like the Lambo Police cars as featured on Top Gear in Dubai.

[Marketto007]

Talking about the Lotus...

 

[Matt_13]

Just when you think it can't get any better...a Lotus enters the fray. Doesn't get more Bond than this. So excited.

[stromberg]

Noticed the car in one of the videos before, didn't realize it's a Lotus. But it never appeared as if it was part of the movie. If it was, I'm fine.

This is a few days old. If I understand that right, he's currently in Rome, scouting locations for Zoolander 2.

 

Italian Club Le Cercle has an article on this, but unfortunately, I can't read it:

Thanks, thecasinoroyale.

I have been searching today for any video of the shooting yesterday night, but nothing was  published on the Internet so far, it seems.
Before seeing the latest photos, I was wondering how they were going to film the scene in which the cars run down the steps - since both are sports car traveling just a few inches above the asphalt  and this could cause seriuos damage - and here's the trick !
The crew lined the bleachers with a plastic sheet , then the concrete was thrown over in order to reduce the steps' height . In the first video at the link below you can see the preparations at around 4mins 56 secs:

For those of you who are interested, tonight they are going to film the initial part of the car chase - the part that should follow directly the scenes shot at Blenheim Palace - this should be the road section closed for filming:

If the Lotus is part of the chase - a police car giving chase to investigate, I could possibly see Hinx taking him out with an aggressive manoeuvre.

If you've been following the news about the film since it was in pre-production, maybe you will find interesting this article where the Italian producer Roberto Malerba clarifies on news (and polemics) in the press so far:

[Marketto007]

Grazie Luigi. I heard that the shooting in Via Nomentana tonight will go throughout the night, at least until 5 AM is that correct? And now is 1:50 AM.

[Luigi Ferrari]

Prego, Marketto007.

Well, based on what I've heard the scene shouldn't be very complex - I mean, there are no particular stunts with the cars, just a straight and a quick right turn plus some  shots of the DB10's interior , I suppose - so I would  assume that the filming tonight will have the same duration as the filming they did in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.
I confirm that Nomentana street is closed until 5 am, the may stop filming earlier once  the shots they got are good.

WTF is this? Bond wearing some protective suit made by Q? Some sort of an ultimate airbag, I presume?
