The information storm SKYFALLs been throwing off these past few days has been fast and furious. It's getting pretty SPOILER heavy, even for me. I've decided to hold off on the worst/best of it, but needless to say, if you want to watch spycam footage of SKYFALL train stunts ETC, such material is now out there in the public sphere for your perusal.

In other news.....

A late breaking development on the BOND BEVERAGE front: Daniel Craig will star as Ian Flemming's JAMES BOND 007 in a special HEINIKEN advert to be directed by none other than SPYFALL mastermind Sam Mendes. For EON this represents an exciting and hitherto unprecedented development in their partnership with HEINIKEN. Further information suggests that 007 himself will be consuming HEINIKEN on screen for BOND 23.

Just got back from a screening of The Cabin in the Woods(huge fun btw), and just before the main trailers, an advert promoting many of 2012's movies was shown- the tagline was something like 'Why we love films '. It was pretty much a montage of minor snippets showing the likes of The Hobbit, but in amongst them all were a couple of very brief shots featuring Daniel Craig in a tux. They looked like Skyfall to me, and to my knowledge, is the first official footage. I caught this at my local Showcase, so I don't know if it's exclusive to them.
I must emphersize that they are very brief though, so don't break your neck to see them...

BREAKING: CRAIG TO OPEN OLYMPICS AS JAMES BOND! (click)

The British monarch has officially asked for 007's assistance in securing the games, and Mr Craig has obliged the request:

In the short film, titled "The Arrival," Bond reportedly arrives at Buckingham Palace to get his instructions before being taken by helicopter to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, East London, where he will parachute into the arena.

Same here. I've recently learned to appreciate the WINTER OLYMPICS, but the SUMMER ones don't really do much for me. Watching people huff and puff in the heat is just exhausting, IMHO.

Biggest spoiler from that video is that Bond has shorter hair than he usually does. Cant wait for the film it looks like its going to be the best one Craig has done.

I'm seeing it cited as an APRIL FOOLS prank in some places, yet filming apparently really did go down already at the palace, according to some sources. So who knows.....

Good catch, I'd not noticed that at first! I do think you're right, this is going to be a BOND MOVIE long remembered!

PS I had a HEINEKEN for the first time ever last evening, and I must say, I didn't care for it at all. Blech! It's still a good fit for Bond though, as it has a particularly cinematic bottle, with an iconic form factor and a fetching patented shade of green.

Hardly spectacular news BUT in the Metro today was a short article saying Craig wants to equal Moores 7 films, saying he won't stop till they tell him.

Personally I am quite happy for him to make at least 2 more.

I know Daniel Craig is under contract to make 8 Bond films but I agree with you I would like to see him finish with around 5. I dont want to see a 50 something Craig running around it would be too similar to Moore's later films.

That was just pointless tabloid speculation from the interview he did with the BBC which I linked upthread.

They're both Sony films so I don't see why not although it is cutting it a bit close, if there is a teaser don't expect much footage.

Spiderman also Sony, might get something with that, although if they say there's something with MIB3 they might be trying to encourage people to go see it

While I'm eager to catch the SKYFALL teaser, I wish it were being attached to a film with just a touch of class, rather than MI3 which reeks of desperation (the film having been shut down and restarted after having initially begun filming without a finished script)

'you always were a cunning linguist, james'

Interesting, this:

quote:

Craig also discussed the usage of classic Bond lines such as: "The name's Bond, James Bond."

"That was one of the keys with this film for us," he shared. "There are those classic lines that we have to have in there, and we've got them and we've got all that going on, but we wanted to sort of reinvent a few as well."

For QOS, apparently Craig at one point also delivered the "Bond, James Bond" line, but Foster left it on the cutting room floor. I believe I've spotted where it would have gone, and I don't see a good reason for leaving it out. Instead Bond basically doesn't respond to a direct question when someone asks who he is.

In 2009 I was inclined to support the director's artistic vision. I agreed and still think that leaving the gun barrel to the end was a good move. However, in the years since, I've come to question Foster's decisions on some of these points. Like with the unforgettable shot of Bond materializing over the desert horizon from the trailer not making the final cut.. The shot is, IMHO, amazing, and had the potential to be one of the coolest, most iconic shots of Bond in the series. I am left to wonder if stuff like cutting an overtly bad ass moment like that one, as well as the series convention of Bond's trademark introduction - even when it would have made cinematic sense to include these things - was simply Foster bristling at leaving the world of "serious" Oscar bait behind in order to make a genre picture, a reluctance to indulge in genre conventions for fear they'd somehow taint his artistic cred.

In CR, I'd initially wondered why they were holding off on the BOND THEME, and yet when we got to the epilogue, and I realized what they'd been doing, it felt just perfect. Craig's response to Mr White's question couldn't possibly have been cooler.

Now that Bond is established though, do I think there is anything wrong with bringing back some of these classic lines into the mix? As long as it's handled well, and isn't used as a groan inducing moment of winking to the audience, I think it will only serve to cement SKYFALL's status as one of the finest BOND FILMS of all time.

Can't wait to see what Craig has up his sleeve!

Turkey filming info has been leaked (click)

SPOILERS:

quote:

Filming for the new James Bond film 'Skyfall' will move to Istanbul, Turkey, later this month after work on the train sequences in Adana is completed.

Shooting in Istanbul is scheduled to take place between April 16th to May 6th around the major landmarks of the Egyptian Bazaar, the New Mosque and Yeni Cami Square.

According to local press reports, the action will involve a motorcycle chase and several vehicles being blown up.

The filming work will first involve the stunt team, starting on April 16th, before the principal cast members arrive in the city on April 30th.

Daniel Craig and the recently announced addition to the cast, Tonia Sotiropoulou, will both be on location.

Preparations for filming in the city start today.

quote:

The Hurriyet Daily News has confirmed the 'Skyfall' shooting schedule for Istanbul, covered on MI6 News yesterday.

According to the paper, preparation work begins on "April 16th, an Emin�n� street will be closed to traffic and pedestrians for three weeks. The production company will pay the owners of shops on the street 750 Turkish Liras a day to cover their three-week loss. The owners will open their shops but will not be able to make sales."

Permission for the shooting has been obtained from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Culture and Tourism Ministry, Istanbul Governor�s Office and Fatih Municipality. The film team is expected to arrive in the city on April 30th. The shooting will continue until May 6th.

In addition to some of the popular attractions previously confirmed for 'Skyfall' action, such as the Mısır �arşısı (Egyptian Bazaar) and Yeni Camii (New Mosque), other locations will include the Old Post Office, Bankacılar Avenue, Sultanhamam, Balat Kiremit Avenue and the Grand Bazaar .

Bloody brilliant. I especially like the shots of Craig stealthily observing someone in their flat / hotel room. Mark my words: SKYFALL will be the best Bond film of all time.
