Let the mayhem begin...

 

Reharsing in Zócalo, Mexico City.

Perfect establishing shot from the gunbarrel me thinks, the classic city shot with a helicopter coming into view, like 'AVTAK'.

Spoiler

The gunbarrel opens up with the shot of a skull.

Looks like we're in for a grand PTS.

Wow. The helicopter seems out of control and all over the place in the last half of the video. There's only one reason why that would be.

The pilot having had a vodka martini too much?

I don't think they'd introduce ESB in the PTS... let alone with a wheelchair and remote control helicopter!

Well it wouldn't be the first time.

Seems almost as if someone was fighting for control of the beast and then regaining it and flying off....

 

To quote Sanchez: "Who would do such a thing?"

I love this:

 

 

The second part of Don Quijote de la Mancha was published in 1615. Perhaps it is just coincidence, but it would be great this reference in a Bond film to celebrate the anniversary.

I'm an Spanish Literature teacher so I'm really partial, of course, but I've read various articles that are capable to link Bond with Don Quijote in very really interesting ways...

Nice nod to the Body Worlds part of Casino Royale too

Wrong country.

The day of the dead props are great - so is the location. So fingers crossed this sequence gets SPECTRE off to a good start.

In addition to the big crowd scenes and helicopter stunts, I'm expecting them to film interiors at the Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico early next week.

It was previously used in LICENCE TO KILL, and has a really impressive lobby area.

Seems there a few more details here actually: http://www.excelsior...5/03/15/1013393

This looks like it's going to be massive. Thanks guys!

Mendes at work in Mexico City.

 

 

This should be a fantastically colourful scene.

 

Another photo here of Mendes with the helicopter, plus a really detailed article of what he was up to yesterday (in Spanish):

For what it's worth, looks like a Messerschmidt-Bolkow-Blohn BO-105 helicopter, though those haven't been manufactured in quite a while.  Maybe Guy Haines has a better take on this.

[Matt_13]

That looks terrific.

[Shrublands]

They do look wonderful.

[The Dove]
