I think Die Another Day is probably the low point, where the main cast appeared in none of the foreign locations the film was set in!

Article today states, if I understand it correctly, that bad weather have forced production to abandoned Arcomagno - the cave/beach scene. But it also contains a previously for us unknown action scene to be filmed:
Listen to a better radio station!
Pure speculation but after the Matera chase maybe he sends her off on a train and agrees to meet her in a safe place but she doesn't show up or she leaves a note to explain why she won't go with him. Either way, I suspect Jamaica takes place years later and Bond is single again then.
I suspect, from that clip of Bond leading Madeleine across the train tracks and then suddenly pulling her to him and hugging her so passionately, that he is sending her away and saying goodbye - as long as she's with him, she remains in danger.
Depression can cause a man to do that.
On the same page. This living the tranquil life post-Matera doesn’t add up to me.
James will be James! In OHMSS he seems to fall in love with Tracy during the montage, didn't stop him visiting a few ladies at Piz Gloria!
Yes, I must admit I feel the same, sending Madeleine away, as appears to be the case, means she's alone and therefore still vulnerable and, now, without Bond's protection, so I wonder if there is something much more tangible which we don't know about yet, which leads to Bond living in isolation. We know he leaves Mi6 at the end of SP, so we can follow that narrative, but yes, I think, like others here, there's a greater reason. I don't believe Cary, who is a smart storyteller, (or the writers etc.) will drop the ball on this.
I had trouble interpreting it too. So are they just scraping that scene or sequence all together? Or are they just moving to an alternate location? Something involving boats would be fun to see.
Lea wasn't around for the Jamaica shoots and I can't believe, if her character is still with Bond, all their scenes together were studio set, Madeleine would definitely appear in some exterior scenes. All the indications are she and Bond part ways after the Matera car chase.
Nah, of course he won't. They've written it so it makes sense, I'm sure.
Yes. That one-two day shoot is definitely cancelled. Enzo Sisti convinced the production to shoot some scenes there as part of a supposed motorboat chase. Since they planned to shoot at the Arcomagno briefly, logic tells that this supposed motorboat chase would be something bigger. Maybe happening in Jamaica/Cuba? This rules out the idea that the Arcomagno would've been the location for the supposed marriage*, btw.
*Something I don't believe anymore.
Another big question: How does Blofeld fit into ANY of this? (I love this speculation - I can't remember the last time it was this much fun to try to piece together all the elements of an upcoming Bond film.)
Grazie per l'aiuto
Eh, never mind...

Since they have wrapped in Sapri, what happends next? PWS?
I respect @marketto007 immensely - but his sources this time around are dodgy. They have been horrendously wrong so often, that this isn't even passably believable.
Though......the only thing that may lend weight is CJF's close relationship with Trudi Styler (Sting's wife). She fequently comments on his IF and starred in Maniac.
Also, there's a while sement in Maniac where Billy Magnussen sings a Sting song.
Still....in a world where an Academy Award nomination is virtually guaranteed, artists like Arianna Grande, Lana Del Rey, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, etc are queuing up...................................they pick Sting?!?!?
It's a "no" from me.
Interesting that Cary was in San Nicola Arcella. Dont know if he was only scouting or production team has already shoot something there.
This post was published by Cary on August 3rd.
+1, there's no comparison. But unfortunately marketing is King these days, so it does seem to be a stretch.
Indeed.
How likely is it that the title artist is announced this early? …Or is it early?
I mean, if anything it's late, no? If Sting/Savoretti are only in final talks. Smith was seemingly brought on in January 2015 for SP, just a month after shooting began...not sure about Adele.
But from a marketing POV a less slam dunk (aka not Sheeran, Lana, Gaga etc) title song choice would warrant an earlier announcement to get people on board, rather than a last min final push in the home stretch of the campaign.
+2
And he was reportedly in talks with EON even before the title was announced if I remember correctly.
Adele gave her first cut of the song in October 2011. She likely got approached in early to mid 2011.
Wow so even earlier than Smith!
The wedding, the car chase in Norway, the appearance of Blofeld, the female 007, Bon'd failed attempts at seduction, &c - how solid are all of our sources on this?
Have we ruled out that all Norway scenes weren't actually for Black Widow? Have we confirmed that the casting call for 'young Seydoux' was actually for Bond and not for her other current film project?
It's a testament to how tight a ship EON are (finally) running, and to how starved their fanbase is for content!
