Oooo. Nice.

[Vauxhall]

A little tip-off... Some UK broadcasters may well have special behind the scenes reports from Mexico tomorrow, to tie in with the teaser release.

Nicely done, Shrublands. All very possible!

Mañana 12.45hs ARG habrá una conferencia de prensa en México, con #DanielCraig, #LéaSeydoux, @SigmanStephanie y #MichaelGWilson #SPECTRE

they are saying the press conference is tomorrow 12:45 (I am assuming Argentina time which is -3 GMT so 15:45 UK time?)

So Seydoux is in Mexico too? Will she be part of the Palenque shoot?

[JCRendle]

Apparently Dave Bautista and Cristoph Waltz will be there too. Whether for filming, or purely for the press conference is unclear.

Nothing I can say yet, but I'd keep an eye on the usual suspects (BBC, ITV, Sky, etc).

Spoiler

They aren't Mexico according to the leaked information. Then again, they could use Mexico to double for another location (Morocco?)

If I correctly understand what this article says,Eduardo Ymay, general director of Grupo Real Turismo,has recently revealed that the film crew be staying in Villahermosa for the next 90 days.

If so, then I wonder if they decided to ditch Morocco altogether for Mexico.

I can see Villahermosa doubling for Tangier.

Big if true. Must have been major issues.

If so, I expect we'll hear at the press conference tomorrow.

[The Dove]

Wow! Big news indeed, if true..

[agentbug]

Interesting... It's a shame if we lose Morocco, just for the authenticity. I felt the same when Skyfall lost India, but what can you do. That turned out pretty well at least.

[x007AceOfSpades]

Agreed, was really looking forward to Morocco.

If true,  I suppose that tax breaks offered by Mexico to foreign film productions could have played a decisive role in the choice ( see the article from the Taxanalists' site)

Better wait for confirmation though.

That's a shame though I imagine Mexico must have been easier to swing. Oh well, I'm sure it'll look great all the same.

[Harmsway]

If they traded Morocco for Mexico, then I have an idea what Palenque could be, and I think the trade was worth it.

More than likely. The studios were trying to get the budget down, weren't they.

I'm on the fence. I really liked the Morocco idea.

Certainly a plausible explanation if the $300 million budget turned out to be true.

Was very fond of Morocco. Considered going there (depending on how much we get to know early enough).

[Harmsway]

I'm sure the budgetary stuff was a huge consideration. Still, getting to shoot at Palenque must also have been appealing.

Didn't they try to get Macchu Picchu in Quantum of Solace?

[Major Tallon]

This may be as much a security issue as much as a budgetary one, but they need to have a train through the desert.  Does Mexico offer a luxury train comparable to the Oriental Desert Express?

[JCRendle]

Haven't they already filmed train scenes in Morocco?

[Harmsway]

Haven't they already filmed train scenes in Morocco?

That was my understanding, but maybe they'll reshoot them. They certainly didn't film *all* of the train stuff yet.

Thought that was just Craig and Mark Strong doing some location scouting.
