We could be looking at something along these lines (though Madeleine's fate might be a little different):
But Sylvia Trench DID only have ten minutes of screen time. Even less infact.
Sign me up for this. As with pretty much everything else about SF, I've never really understood why people get so excited about this aspect of the film.
But nothing B25 related…
That's right! Forgot about that one while posting the trailer.
However...considering James Bond-magasinet is from Norway and Norway is a rumoured location. The stars seem to suggest that this is a location announcement.
If this was a genuine Eon announcement and they had a press release to issue I assume @marketto007 would know. He had the intel on all press info for Bond productions - because he is the press! He even went to the set of Spectre!
Unless it comes from @marketto007 - I don't believe it.
Edit: from Norsk Filminstitutts (NFI) own website:
In short: B25 awarded 47.025.000 kr (£4.2m).

Edit: The statement includes one interesting piece though (translated):
"We're happy that the production of the movie with the preliminary title B25 is considering shooting in Norway. The 47m grant offered the production is the largest in the incentive scheme's history."
Edit 2: In comparison, Mission Impossible: Fallout was offered 6m, and Snømannen (The Snowman) – set in Norway, got 40,5m.
Edit 3: James Bond-magasinet seems to think it's happening (although EON must accept the offer from the Film institute).
Perhaps, Cary will use his August trip for inspiration. Also, his girlfriend is from Norway.
What is interesting though is Fallout’s use of Norway. Which was stunning. I wonder if B25 will use the same imagery.
Fair points at Tuulia. I have seen the documentary you mentioned above and I honestly believe, with a brand new accusation in the pipeline (one just released a couple of days ago), that Singer will not keep the Red Sonya job. It's frustrating that there has been twenty years of stories, and nothing has stuck thus far. Saying that-- i think it's just a matter of time for this guy.
Re: actors, like sports figures: Some are not very well equipped to handle anything outside of their job. And when it comes to allegations of, basically, forcing sex onto minors, I think that the producers should have done their job and coached their cast and crew in how to respond to these claims (very serious claims, and here's the dicey part: with no charges. As much as we'd like to see the guilty crucified by anyone working with Singer (or all those who worked with Spacey and Weinstein (Meryl Streep didn't know Harvey was the monster he's been revealed to be? Bull and s$$$), it rarely happens until, as we've seen with Harvey, charges are brought forth.).
I understand your disgust with Singer (or anyone in a position of power who has done this, especially to children (I have three of my own), so I suspect our feelings on the matter are very much aligned.
This looks damn good. Fiennes really has a gift. Lots of good films to look forward to in 2019. Thank heavens. 2018 was dire in quantity of quality, IMO.
Love The American. And that opening was shocking as very well staged. I doubt they'll be as provocative as that, though. But I get the gist. The imagery could very well be the same, although the large incentive indicates more than just a simple PTS.
Let's hope so, that video alone distances the possibilities re. Bond25 from whatever imagery they used on Fallout. Can you image Bond driving a brand new Aston on that road? Would harken to GF, in the very best of ways.
Yep. $5.4m. In contrast, the Mexico tax incentives for SP were $20m.
Wow, that's quite a difference. So I guess with EoN pouring in a little money, we're looking at a spectacular PTS and/or a a stylish sequence that's plot-heavy/action-lite? As an uneducated guess.
Who knows? Snømannen (The Snowman) – set and shot entirely (I think) in Norway, got 40,5m in 2016. Mission Impossible: Fallout was offered 6m for the bit shot at Preikestolen.
The incentives offered is the largest ever for one production, so that probably means the Film institute is doing everything they can to get the production here, and/or that the 47m grant in some way reflects what EON have in mind.

Treadstone – the Jason Bourne spinoff series, didn't get any incentives.
Interesting, @Torgeirtrap ... as @RC7 noted, EoN's wanted to shoot in Norway for a while. I can't imagine too much of the production will be here (THE SNOWMAN'S total budget is probably worth an action sequence or two in a James Bond film), but there must be something specific planned to showcase an incredible locale.
