I wonder if Bond came up in conversation.
Wow! Forgot about this picture. Nice find.
Recent photo?
Makes sense. By all means, I like Nittedal (my girlfriend has a cottage in the area). But why would they settle on a generic forest in the low lands when they can basically choose whatever spectacular location they wish in Norway?
From September 2017
One was enough. Heck one in the franchise would have been enough.
Craig will be working hard while his wife spends her day breastfeeding and changing nappies. It's hard being a man.

They are redundant. Bond is the hero, he's the one doing the action part. Not M, not Q, not Moneypenny, not the Bond girl. I don't understand why people complain about "team MI6", but don't beat an eyelid when there's a Way Lin or a Jinx suddenly having the same function in the narrative as Bond.
Now if they can get an older actor for the villain...
Indeed. Of course when she tells Nettavisen that she "doesn't believe it is it" (B25), she could just be secretive, but this looks pretty uninspired as far as Bond locations go.
As a second thought, it could also be one of two or several locations making up a sequence, for example.
Might be a rumour gone mad. In any case it's all around the news.
for SPectre one of the drafts had The Death Collector as the title
There are female agents, there are females who can do just as much damage as Bond. Having an action-based female character doesn't do anything to disturb the "narrative". Yes, James Bond will always be more involved in the action and will do so thoroughly, but to say that he's only the one that can do it is just silly. Also, are you saying that any female agents within a James Bond film should just not do their job?
Actually the Bond girls as Fleming wrote them have many functions in the story, they are not (all) there merely to sleep with Bond, although they do also serve as sexual reward. But making them action chicks then at least part of what they do is also what Bond does. That's exactly the definition of redundant. Way Lin does what Bond does until the plot requires her to suddenly become a helpless damsel in distress. And Fleming's Bond girls, the classical ones, are far more complete and complex than the action chicks we saw both in and out of the Bond franchise.
And there's female agent and female agent. There's a huge difference between Jinx who is just a weak version of a female Bond in a bikini, and a station agent or a member of MI6.
I'm not asking for a Bond girl who only gets involved in fights. That's the last thing I want. I would want them to infuse a film with a multi-layered Bond girls, who would not be afraid to get into the action. Saying a Bond girl who fights is redundant is like saying a villain driving a nice car is redundant because only Bond can drive nice cars. Having a villain drive a nice car doesn't take away from James Bond's vehicle in the same way having a Bond girl involved in action doesn't take away from James Bond's action scenes.
