I only glanced at the outline (sorry, I couldn´t resist anymore) but it seems that lots of the script has been changed considerably.  

 

Good.

[Shrublands]

Oooh I missed the fire on the bridge? Sounds dramatic....is this towards the finale? Hints of another fiery climax like 'Skyfall' perhaps.

 

You can see a bit of the blaze in this photo. And yes, this is very much part of the finale.

... Just think, in a little more than a week, the film will officially only be five months away! 

 

I'm not sure which set of behind-the-scenes shots have me the most excited thus far. Everything has looked fantastic from Mexico, Austria, and now London! I have to admit though, these London shots seems to promise something very special to the eye. There is such iconography for Bond around these locations (as others have mentioned previously), yet their film potential has gone relatively untapped. All of this has me pretty intrigued. 

[DamnCoffee]

If i'm being honest, sure the behind the scenes stuff is nice to see, but ever since maybe Quantum of Solace, i've been really quite disappointed overall with the official behind the scenes video blogs and stuff. Remember when Quantum had about 30?? Obviously it's great to see the Aston in Rome and Austria etc, but It's just a shame about the constant talking heads and a lot of unexciting location shots (And constant David Arnold music - although that has been rectified as of late). I'll be more pumped to see shots of Craig running around, teasing interviews, some b-roll footage. I'm not saying it's a massive let down, I just feel that so much more could be done with those videoblogs whenever I see them.

Or look at it this way, QoS had some serious troubles, writers strike meant the script wasn't finished and Craig and Forster were writing scenes during filming. There was also the name, they knew that it had caused confusion among the public - One reason we got so much behind the scenes footage could have been that they thought "We need to hamp up the excitement, we had a hit on our hands with Casino Royale, we need to keep this fresh and the way things are going, this film could disappoint - let's release videos and images to get people excited"

 

This time they don't need it. The name is strong - SPECTRE! It has meaning! It has provenance. The cast is stong, they have Christopher Waltz! The images, vlogs and paparazzi releases have given us a lot to talk about.

 

It could show how much they believe in the film this time around, that they don't feel the need to give us a lot of footage.

[SecretAgentFan]

I think you´re right.

 

Also, Sam Mendes might not like to have too much information on the film out there.  Especially after the Sony leaks the policy probably is: let´s keep as many secrets as possible.

[Dustin]

Don't know if this is news, actually.





A friend of a friend wanted to visit the Zocalo in Mexico City. Apparently it was much too crowded because of shooting arrangements for SPECTRE. They had a huge Catrina there. It seems there was also some stunt work involved.

[The Dove]

Not really "new" news, I'm afraid, Dustin.. Check out the "Mexico" thread...but thanks for posting all the same!! I can't wait to see this Day of the Dead sequence..

[Dustin]

Awww...sorry! I kept myself at a distance from most of the SPECTRE threads, didn't know this was known intel already. I got this only in the wee small hours today, without date or further specifics.

But thanks for telling me all the same!

Good.

I've read the outline and the most recent draft of the screenplay. All the footage, behind the scenes, set photos etc. matches up perfectly with the screenplay.

Not all, the two recent clapperboards with the boats and the motorbike don't. 

Also, how does M get those gashes and cuts to his face? 

[thecasinoroyale]

I didn't really want to see M getting involved in the action again - I mean, he's M. Head of SIS. Not a field agent. Can't he just be the Bernard Lee / Robert Brown type and stay behind a desk or just in briefings and hold so much gravitas that way?

[SecretAgentFan]

Maybe he did not intend to be involved - but he can fight back.  As he did in SKYFALL.

[thecasinoroyale]

I know, I assumed he'd be caught up by accident, but it just feels they're doing it because it's Fiennes and to give him as much screen time as possible. I hate the fact people as important as M get dragged into the field so much in the Bond films of later years.

 

'Slyfall' I can understand as it was at a hearing at Whitehall - but seeing M on the streets of London at night? Only time will tell I guess!

 

 

Still have to say, DC does look in his prime in these photos! Can't get over how well he looks.

Filming happening this evening on the corner of Moorgate and Lothbury. Spotted Sam Mendes and a black jag in cornered off area and lots of crew

[Shrublands]

Quite a bit going on in London today and tonight.

Filming on Gresham Street this evening, with gunshots heard apparently. 

Also, this afternoon at Freemason's Hall.

 

 

 

[Vauxhall]

Interesting. Black Jaguars have previously been official MI6 vehicles in the films, so perhaps M's car is attacked, leading to the facial injuries.

Strangely, I did not remember how often M, Q and Moneypenny were outside of their office in the previous eras - but they are!

It does look like an official MI6 vehicle. Photo in the link.

[Shrublands]

And the Mirror has some shots of today's filming.

I think it's interesting that Moneypenny seems to be in the same outfit (under that coat) that she has for when she visits Bond's apartment.

This scene probably happens on the same day. Here is photo from when they filmed that last year.

 

[Shrublands]

And here she is with a file box, I'd say the one seen in the teaser trailer.

Good to see Daniel looking so relaxed after what is an incredibly long shoot. Must be a relaxed set and they are feeling confident about what they've got

[S K Y F A L L]

WHATS IN THE BOX!?

[Trevelyan 006]

WHATS IN THE BOX!?

[Blofeld's Cat]

WHATS IN THE BOX!?

Presumably the paperwork she hands Bond and he peruses in the teaser trailer.

[S K Y F A L L]

 

WHATS IN THE BOX!?

 

lol

 

 

It's easy to do just follow these steps 

1: Cut a hole in a box 

2: Put your junk in that box 

3: Make her open the box 

And that's the way you do it 

[# 11]

Trafalgar empty - cordoned off for filming of James Bond 'Spectre'. (all lit, with helicopters overhead, etc)
