Ah, I see. Thanks for letting us know! The last I read re. him and Bond 25, was that he traveled to Jamaica to shoot scenes earlier this month, and that he hadn't read the script at the time.

Sagafjord hotel’s parking lot in Sæbø has this weekend been occupied by trucks marked Movie Makers and Pinewood, the local newspaper Møre writes.
About ten trucks arrived at the village Saturday. They’ve already been granted permission to close off the road Tuesday and Wednesday, and Dagbladet have been told that the shooting will likely start tomorrow. It’s then expected that additional crew will arrive, and that a ship will arrive through the Hjørungfjord, which will house film crew.
Dagbladet have talked to the mayor as well:
- I too have expectations and questions regarding what will happen. We only know that there will be large vehicles with cars and trailers that will install themselves in the village. It’s been a bit of secrecy around this, but I can confirm it’s been granted permission to close off streets. There’s also talk about a helicopter that will fly around (the area). We really don’t know that much about what will happen, but now we’ll just crack on, the mayor says.
- Will Daniel Craig himself be present?
- I don’t know. It will be exciting to see. They won’t rig up for something like this for nothing. They will also bring in an own ship.

Edit: VG have also written more:
VG have been given access to emails between Ørsta municipality and Truenorth Norway.
On Monday 20 May, Steve M. Røyset, a "location scout", wrote an e-mail to the municipality. Here it is stated that the company has received permission from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to close the road into the center, county road 655, for shorter periods on May 29.
Furthermore, Røyset writes that the company will film in Sæbø center, "between the hotel and the stores". They will also film in the village square and around the ferry dock, as well as out on the fjord "and more". The company states that there will probably be some helicopter traffic in connection with the film shoot.
"It is requested to be able to use of the dock area and the street area for the scenes we are going to do there."
Concurrently, the production company has been granted permission to dock at the municipal dock between May 28 and 29.

(A quick and rather bad translation here – sorry!)
That's an entirely separate matter and not related to the injury, which evidently I was discussing. Besides, the story of Craig being "problematic and a curmudgeon" didn't actually stem from a British tabloid but from a source linked to NY Post's Page Six. If people want to lump every publication worldwide together as one nefarious arm of a Spectre-like conspiracy (eg. that Murdoch hates Bond), then they need to remove their tin-foil hats. News outlets just pick up on each other's stories and share them around. Clearly the editors of the other publications thought it was too good a story to pass up, so they included it in their own overall coverage. Sometimes you have to separate the wheat from the chaff, but the same goes for anything and especially here. For instance, there's simply pages and pages of endless smarmy comments, emojis, with zero substance, and—quite frankly—not much worth reading. It's almost a chore wading through it all to find anything of note. Fortunately most of us are aware of who is worth reading and who is worth skimming.
Look, we get it. You hate the press, therefore, it IS a fruitless debate. If Eon don't publicly state anything for the record then there's no truth in it—none whatsoever. As I pointed out above, you need to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff, and decide what is "embellished", an "opinion piece" and what is "actual reported news". I'm also willing to bet that there is some truth to the rumours about a number of production crew not getting along with Craig. After all, no one (apart from the top brass) has ever come out and spoken publicly about him in such glowing terms as say Roger Moore, who was generous to a fault and considerate to even the lowest rung of the ladder on-set. As I've stated in the past, I've spent time with Craig in a pub for a couple of hours (before he became 007) so I'm aware of how he can come across as surly and abrupt. He's also got a foul mouth on him. But that's just the way he is.
Anyway, back on topic. As production's been temporarily held up, cue more frivolous comments from the usual sycophantic crowd. I-)
Most impressive. I've never seen so much written that managed to say absolutely nothing of note about a debate that you initially kicked off and then agreed was fruitless while making a bold assumption about myself - someone who used to work, ironically, in the press.
Yikes.
It's not a separate issue. You can say they are all you want, but at the end of the day, they're all related to the production of the film. Context is key, and while focusing in on the injury sure suits the argument you're making, it means that the bad taste left by other cheap reporting is removed and you're looking at it, equally naively, out of context. Once again, it's very easy for someone to pop in and retrospectively criticise people for believing or not believing something, especially when they were very quiet at the time. I don't recall seeing much from you during the discussions of the above stories. So again, a lot of what you're saying seems cheap, hollow and dare I say.....sycophantic.
There has been a pattern of negative journalism (that may be true or not), and that is why people are automatically suspicious regarding anything the press comes out with. It's pretty damn natural for a fanbase especially to feel that way. That was what I was referring to - a pattern of reporting that creates a mood which then carries forward, and makes it understandable why people weren't too chuffed with how the ankle injury was presented alongside phrases like "filming cancelled". However I understand that it wasn't convenient for the rant you were very eager to go on. I guess it's true what they say about common sense; it is not that common. The same must go for comprehension, it seems.
I do certainly agree, as you say, that if Eon don't put it out themselves then it isn't true. ;)
We've been back on topic a few pages now so do try and keep up instead of posting nonsense, calling out other posts for being "chores", while yours is ironically a chore to get through in itself.
Production hasn't really been held up. Don't believe everything you read, sport. The Second Unit is still shooting in Jamaica according to reports and as you can see from the posts above, they're getting prepared for more shooting in Norway. Lots of hard work is still being done! ;)
That looks incredible. What a beautiful part of the world. Reminds me of a particularly great Summer. Very excited to see what they do with the area.
Michael G. Wilson joined Eon full-time in 1972, has had a credit since The Spy Who Loved Me ("special assistant to producer"). Barbara Broccoli did part-time jobs on Bond films without a credit starting around the same time, at least according to her December 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"other than the producers..."
I do believe they post here occasionally. :D
Like Quantum, they're everywhere!
«James Bond» not to be filmed in Sæbø in Sunnmøre.
https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/hemmelig-storfilm-er-ikke-bond/71119907
(I think I read somewhere that there's a Marvel film that will shoot scenes in western Norway these days as well, so that might be the film they're preparing for.)
I have a feeling that this line producer is trying to hide the fact that it is actually Bond filming to avoid some paparazzi eyes from the production.
TV 2 are aware that Scarlett Johansson will be shooting a Marvel film in Sunnmøre and in Rauma next week.

Black Widow, then?
There were rumours that Black Widow movie will be filming in UK in June and pre-production is in Pinewood.

Probably in a few weeks, if we're to believe newspapers etc.
NRK wrote May 13 that: A helicopter company has requested to close the airspace over the Atlantic Road to shoot an international film. In the application it's revealed that the movie is James Bond.
The restriction applies from June 5 to 14, 2019.

Now they are not sure.
https://www.vg.no/rampelys/i/b5QVdk/avkrefter-james-bond-innspilling-i-saeboe
I have a feeling that it is actually Bond film.
If true, that'd be a crying shame. I'm hoping there's some wires crossed here. I loved that location.
Hasn't Daniel Craig already been spotted on set? Fairly certain that confirms it is Bond 25
This article refers to the Dagbladet article from earlier today. The guy from True North denies that the Sæbø shooting will be for Bond 25, but a different film of "international calibre". Could be the Black Widow film this.
The Atlantic Road was mentioned in an article by broadcaster NRK a couple of weeks ago. In the article, it says that A helicopter company has requested to close the airspace over the Atlantic Road to shoot an international film. In the application it's revealed that the movie is James Bond.
Further down in the article, it's mentioned that The restriction applies from June 5 to 14, 2019.
I think TV2 and other newspapers have jumped to the conclusion that the production crew preparing to shoot in and around Sæbø, are working with Bond 25. @Pavlo mentioned that there will be scenes shot at Pinewood for the Black Widow film as well – which could explain all the trucks marked Pinewood Studios.
Several newspapers wrote that Craig was in Sæbø, but only referred to TV2's original article and this article photo. TV2 themselves never wrote anything about Craig being there.
TV2 have now corrected their original article according to the news that broke today, and this photo is removed. I remember that there were two different photo credits to this picture: TV2 (the picture of Sæbø), and Stella Pictures (the picture of Craig).
100% photoshop
Any bozo can see that it is two photos added together. But the second photo is seemingly Craig in Norway. Right? So far, no one has been able to ID the photo of Craig. Which would suggest that it's new.
Has it not already been confirmed that they are shooting in Norway in the second week of June?
Also, nothing much from Cary's Instagram page in a while.......
