That set would have been long dismantled from filming early last December. 

 

Unless they filmed in the actual building?

I can just make out the date this was shot on the clapperboard..March 10th.. just two days ago, so indeed this set must have been rebuilt at Pinewood for the reshoot.

Going by the first clapperboard from Pinewood with the bulldog and the same scene number, I would say not.

It's possible for the reshoot I suppose, but I'd expect them to put the set back up for continuity of style. 

[Vauxhall]

Very nice. Think that might be an original copy of the book.

Notice that it's a reshoot of scene 21. R on the clapperboard.

Yes, and it strikes me as rather important and costly. That set would have been long dismantled from filming early last December.
I suspect that the script has been changed significantly deeper in and this scene needed to be reshot in order to work.

That was my suspicion too. It wouldn't be planned to film the scene so far apart.

Very interesting. Cool to see the book again, should be good for a laugh.

I guess that this is standard operating procedure. Some friends from the German fan club were on a location tour in London last year and were at the "Mitchell" house from QoS. By pure chance, they met the owner of the Mitchell flat (and were even allowed inside). He told them that the only scenes actually shot in the flat were the balcony scenes with outside view. The interior was rebuilt in Pinewood and it looked exactly the same.

 

The advantage of this: it's much easier to position cameras and lights when you're able to remove one or two walls or the ceiling. Maybe they had to shoot the scenes with exteriors while the flat was available, with the rebuild not yet finished, which forced them to do the rest of those scenes at a later point (i.e. now).

Interesting.  Cheers.

Wonder if Franz Oberhauser is the ornithologist this time around? Incidentally, the late jazz musician Humphrey Lyttleton also shared that hobby and was once being interviewed on radio by a presenter who couldn't get his mouth around the word "ornithologist". Afterwards, "Humph" said he always regretted not saying by way of reply "yes, I'm a word botcher"

Skeleton crew, Mexico City

Yes!! This has to be perhaps my favorite clapperboard pic so far!!

[DamnCoffee]

Could this be...

What the gunbarrel opens up on?

It's Scene 1, so highly likely.

[DamnCoffee]

Oh man!

Fantastic news if correct. It confirms that not only are they putting the gunbarrel at the start again, but actually giving it a bit more of a purpose. We all know that Skyfall intended to have the gunbarrel at the start but it look didn't make any sort of visual sense with the opening shot of of the film, it's just comforting to know that they're making sure that won't happen this time. Can't wait to Daniel to walk across that screen and open the film in truly classic fashion. It's been long overdue.

[Simon]

I am sorry, how does this confirm your supposition?

 

All we know is that this is scene 1, and nothing else...

[DamnCoffee]

I'm aware, which is why I said 'if correct'. Sorry about the confusion, but everything written after that is just mere speculation on my part. 

[thecasinoroyale]

That's an awesome pic. A very imposing and creepy skeletal figure!

[Shrublands]

...and docent the "V"  mean that it's a filmed shot that will be part of a visual effect/composite.

 

The gunbarrel iris opening could be just that.

[sharpshooter]

I could see this being the first image of the film. A close-up, and then moving away to the noise and colour of the street parade.

Am I the only one who's imagined the iris opening on that skull with my fingers?

You're not the only one

Not anymore. Thanks for the suggestion. 

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha! I just did it as well...we're so cool.

[Shrublands]

It's interesting that the "V" clapperboards don't have the digital display, like the others.

 

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that one of the "V" clapperboards did have the digital display.

These pics make me think that this sequence will be really entertaining, and I imagine the music will be a perfect match for it.

[univex]

Yes, absolutely. The music here is as crucial as the New Orleans Jazz was for the funeral in LALD. Or for the junkanoo in TB.

Can't wait to hear what Newman comes up with here. I loved what he did with Istanbul in Skyfall.

New addition: scene V11M - 007 chasing Marco Sciarra down the streets of Mexico City after a huge explosion.

Good eye, Ferrari.

It is this shot and other media-leaked ones like it from the Mexico location that have me really excited. In my opinion, The Day of the Dead/Mexican macabre themes and the world of Bond are a match made in imagery heaven!
